Country singer Dylan Scott is set to perform at the Scheels Arena in Fargo on the evening of October 28, 2023. Renowned for his impressive string of hits, Scott’s career has seen him produce just ten singles since 2015, with each one making a significant impact. He has topped the US Country Airplay chart four times, showcasing his steady rise in the country music scene.
Scott first gained attention with his debut single “Makin’ This Boy Go Crazy” in 2013. His breakthrough came with the 2016 hit “My Girl,” which quickly rose to number one. He continued to capture audiences with subsequent hits, including “New Truck” and “Can’t Have Mine (Find You a Girl),” both of which reached the top of the charts in recent years. Other well-known tracks such as “Hooked,” “Nobody,” “Boys Back Home,” and “This Town’s Been Too Good to Us” have also contributed to his growing popularity.
The concert at Scheels Arena will kick off at 7:30 p.m., featuring opening performances by Josh Ross and Zach John King. Ticket prices range from $25 to $70.15, available through the venue’s website.
