OSHKOSH – The U.S. Air Force and AirVenture 2026 attendees celebrated America’s 250th birthday July 20 with country music star Tyler Hubbard at Theater in the Woods.
The 8 p.m. concert drew a crowd of country fans, service members and EAA attendees. Admission was included with a standard daily EAA AirVenture ticket.
Hubbard sang several of his own songs and paid homage to Florida Georgia Line, performing hits including “Meant to Be” and “Cruise.”
He took time to speak to the crowd throughout the show, stating he was enthusiastic to be spending his night in Wisconsin and at one of the “coolest” air shows in the county.
“You know, Wisconsin, this might be one of the best Monday nights I have had,” he said.
