John Mellencamp at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre

Dancing Words Tour 2026

EVERYONE loves a little Small Town magic in the middle of the summer while we're waiting for our favorite shows to start while we’re waiting in the crowd here at the MidFlorida. Situated right in the heart of Tampa - we’ve had a whole summer of the best concerts here for you to enjoy - and quite frankly, we still want MORE! So that’s EXACTLY why we’ve got some good ‘ole americana rock and roll up for you next in store - and thank god if we’re being completely honest. Right here when John Mellencamp brings us his 2026 Dancing World Tour - guaranteed to be all about his greatest hits and absolutely not to be missed. A roll through the county at stages all across the states and then some - all summer long John and his crew will be coming through and rocking out for thousands every single night - AKA the perfect end-of-summer wrap up, if you ask us. This is John Mellencamp after all - he’s bringing decades of American rock history to the outdoor stage, under the summer sky, loud, proud, and exactly how it’s supposed to be seen and heard - so y’all know this is one we’re pulling up early for, no questions asked. 

So - who exactly is John? For all of us not in the know - Mr.Mellencamp is the sound of back roads, front porches, late nights, and growing up 100% country. Hailing from Seymour, Indiana, he built a career telling stories that feel oh so… lived-in?? 100% honest, and unapologetically real. From the moment Jack & Diane took over the world and every airwave on FM country radio, it was clear he wasn’t here to chase trends - he was taking on the industry and ready to crush all the stereotypes. Pink Houses, Small Town, Hurts So Good, Authority Song, R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.. Cultural landmarks of the time, over his career Mellencamp has stacked GRAMMYs, platinum records, and a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, all while staying fiercely true to his roots. No polish. No pretending. Just songs that hit you straight in the chest. And quite frankly, that’s all we’re looking for. So here’s the deal folks and all you folk rockers out there. Summer nights don’t get better than this - trust us, we have experience with that type of thing. One of the greatest catalogs in rock history, one legendary artist, and one perfect stage for us to see it all on. That all equals a once in a lifetime moment, and a show you just… don’t wanna miss! 

SO - get your crew and tell them the show we alllll want to go to : we’ve got no time to waste! See you soon.
