Chattahoochee Chords & Skyhawk Soar-Along Songs: A 2025 Concert Almanac for Point University
May 01, 2025
Dawn over West Point Lake is normally scored by quiet things—striped bass breaking the surface, a Norfolk Southern whistle far downtown, maybe cleat squeaks from an early practice on Ram Stadium turf. Yet by nightfall the silence is broken in the most electric ways: low-end rumbles sneaking up the Interstate 85 corridor from Atlanta, distant cheer splashes drifting west from Auburn, or even the staccato crack of a country snare punching across the Alabama line from the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater. Geography gifts Point University students a stealth backstage pass: within a 90-minute drive lie Mercedes-Benz Stadium’s sci-fi colossus, the neon bowl of State Farm Arena, Columbus’ hockey-house-turned-concert-hall, and a lawn amphitheater in Lakewood where cicadas duet with headliners. You can finish a biomechanics lab beside West Point Dam, grab a pepper-jack BBQ burger at Johnny’s, and still catch the first downbeat before the track lights cool. The guide below translates that logistical cheat code into a semester-spanning set list—spotlighting tours already banking toward the Valley and the venues that reel them in season after season. Screenshot, rally your residence-hall caravan, and let these pages hard-wire your 2025 soundtrack straight into the blue-and-gold heart of Skyhawk Nation.
