Tickets, the prices of which were not announced, will go on sale at 10 a.m. May 22 at the PPL Center website and at the box office at 7th and Hamilton streets.
Old Dominion last August was just 30 minutes and five songs into its headline show on Musikfest's main Steel Stage when a severe downpour with lightning ended the concert.
The show had drawn a sold-out audience of 6,500 people.
It was just the fourth time in Musikfest's 41-year history that a headline show has been ended because of weather.
The show caused controversy when Musikfest declined to refund ticket costs, saying Musikfest ticket policy is that all performances are rain or shine events, with no refunds unless the show would be canceled.
Old Dominion broke through with the chart-topping, double-platinum hit "Break Up With Him" in 2015 from its debut album "Meat and Candy."
Follow-up No. 1 hits from that disc — the double-platinum "Snapback" and platinum "Song for Another Time" — pushed that disc to No. 3 and platinum sales.
More success
The group followed with the gold, No. 1 album "Happy Endings" in 2017. It produced the hits "No Such Thing as a Broken Heart" and "Hotel Key," both platinum, and the group's biggest hit, the triple-platinum "Written in the Sand."
Its 2019 self-titled album also hit No. 1 and had two No. 1 platinum hits, "Make It Sweet" and "One Man Band."
In 2021, its third album, "Time, Tequila & Therapy," peaked at No. 4, and had the platinum hit "I Was on a Boat That Day."
It released its most recent album, "Memory Lane," in 2023. Its title track hit No. 4 on the Country charts.
The group released a compilation album, "Oldies But Goodies," in September, which included its most recent hit, "Coming Home."
In all, Old Dominion has had 10 Top 10 hits, seven of which hit No. 1 and nine of which sold gold or platinum.
Old Dominion is a six-time Academy of Country Music Vocal Group of the Year, and six-time and reigning Country Music Association Vocal Group, and is a People’s Choice Country Music Artist of the Year nominee.
In addition to its hits, the band as songwriters has delivered major hits for Keith Urban (“Wild Hearts”), Sam Hunt (“Make You Miss Me”), Blake Shelton (“Sangria”), Kelsea Ballerini (“I Hate Love Songs”), Dierks Bentley (“Say You Do”), Band Perry (“Better Dig Two”) and Kenny Chesney (the three-week No. 1 “Save It For A Rainy Day”).
Old Dominion in 2017 drew 3,600 people to a paid-ticket show at Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks — the largest ever in the history of the Levitt's Yuengling Summer Concert series and bigger than the crowd at three of Musikfest’s headline shows that year.
