Ole 60 will close out its 2025 U.S. tour with a New Year’s Eve concert at the Owensboro Sportscenter, promising an energetic night of live music and a midnight celebration to ring in 2026.
Presented by The Eric Group, the Dec. 31 event will feature Ole 60 along with additional acts to be announced. Organizers said the show will include “special surprises” and a countdown that will make the Sportscenter “the place to be when the clock strikes twelve.”
Heath Eric, CEO of The Eric Group, said the event will be one of the biggest shows Owensboro has hosted.
“This will be a night unlike any other,” Eric said. “This New Year’s Eve concert will be electric, exciting, and special. We are pulling out all the stops for OLE 60. Fans know to expect an incredible performance, plus we’ll have additional support acts, and a midnight celebration that people will be talking about for years. This show will sell out fast.

Eric added that the show will serve as a celebration for the region.
“This is a true hometown party for the entire region,” he said. “We can’t wait to ring in 2026 with thousands of Ole 60 fans from across the region and the country. Reserve your hotel rooms and make plans now.”
Sportscenter General Manager Jeff Esposito said the venue is eager to host the event.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to host Ole 60 here at the Sportscenter,” Esposito said. “This building has seen decades of unforgettable moments, and ringing in the New Year with this kind of energy and entertainment is exactly what our community deserves. Ole 60 is going to be a celebration that brings Owensboro together in a big way.”
Eric emphasized that the concert builds on the band’s recent success.
“This is the hottest ticket in the region for New Year’s Eve,” he said. “Over the past two years, Ole 60 has set attendance and sales records at Owensboro’s Friday After 5 and The DAM (Beaver Dam Amphitheater), while selling out shows nationwide. Add in the special surprises and acts still to be announced, and this will be a night you’ll never forget. Get your tickets now if you want to make history with us in Owensboro, Kentucky.”
Ole 60, based in Hawesville, has built a national following with its blend of grunge rock, blues, and southern soul. The band’s breakout singles “Smoke & A Light” and “Insane” have topped 150 million on-demand streams. They’ve sold out venues nationwide, played major festivals, and earned features in top music magazines.
