If you missed sombr in Detroit last night, you have two more chances this week — and both are an easy drive from Toledo.

The 21-year-old Gen-Z breakout played Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Saturday night, Nov. 7, on his 37-date “You Are The Reason Tour.” Tonight, Sunday Nov. 8, he headlines Nationwide Arena in Columbus at 7 p.m. (doors 6 p.m.), and on Friday, Nov. 13, he brings the same show to Rocket Arena in Cleveland at 7 p.m. Dove Cameron and Hannah Jadagu open both Ohio dates.

It’s been a dizzying climb. sombr — Shane Michael Boose — came into 2026 with a Best New Artist Grammy nomination and a spot on the TIME100 Next 2026 list. His breakout single “back to friends” just logged its 17th week on the Billboard Hot 100, sitting at No. 37 on the chart dated Oct. 31, its sixth week in the Top 40.

A year ago he was playing the A&R Music Bar, a Columbus club. Tonight he headlines the city’s biggest arena. He dropped out of New York’s LaGuardia High School to chase music full time, writes and produces his own songs, and released his debut album “I Barely Know Her” in 2025.
