The Performing Arts Center at Kent State University at Tuscarawas announces two new shows coming to New Philadelphia in 2026. After a near sell-out in 2023, Josh Turner returns to the PAC on Saturday, January 17th while The Bellamy Brothers make their PAC debut on Thursday, February 12th. Both shows are at 7:30pm.
Known for his unmistakable, buttery baritone and timeless songs like “Long Black Train” and “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” Josh Turner’s five No. 1 singles include “Your Man,” of which the official music video surpassed 237 million views. Currently, Turner has 6 billion career global streams. His debut album, Long Black Train, released 22 years ago and was certified Platinum by the RIAA with nearly 1.5M album sales, 1.4M track downloads, and over 331.2M life-to-date streams. The lead single of the same name was also certified 2x Platinum, making up over 1.1M track downloads and over 275.7M global streams.
The Bellamy Brothers, Howard and David continue to prove that the trail they’ve ridden to fame has been as unique as their music itself—music that is now celebrating 40 years of success. The road that started on the pop music charts in the ‘70’s, took a winding turn into country music in the ‘80’s, paving the way for duos to come, such as Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich, and previously—The Judds. But before the road forked into country, the musical odyssey of brothers Bellamy started creatively smoldering in their home state of Florida, before exploding nationally amidst the ’70’s pop music culture of L.A.
The Bellamy Brothers appearance is presented by Big Time Entertainment.
Tickets for Josh Turner start at $20 and The Bellamy Brothers tickets start at $49. Both shows go on sale Friday, October 17 at the Performing Arts Center box office, 330-308-6400 or online at www.kent.edu/tuscpac. The box office is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Free and convenient parking is available for all shows. The Performing Arts Center is located on the campus of Kent State Tuscarawas at 330 University Dr. NE in New Philadelphia.
The Performing Arts Center’s 2025-2026 Season is sponsored by the Tuscarawas County Community Foundation.
