Mississippi State Taking Its Campus Live Music Scene To The Next Level Through Peachtree Entertainment Partnership
October 30, 2025 | Athletics
STARKVILLE -- Mississippi State Athletics and Peachtree Entertainment have announced a multi-year partnership to program live music experiences at Humphrey Coliseum and Davis Wade Stadium.
Humphrey Coliseum has a robust history spanning all types of musical genres including Jimmy Buffett, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Stevie Nicks, Huey Lewis and the News, Tina Turner, Bon Jovi, Chicago, Garth Brooks, The Allman Brothers Band, Tim McGraw, Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow, The Goo Goo Dolls, Counting Crows, Widespread Panic, Blues Traveler, O.A.R., and Jack White among many other performers. A complete list of concerts held at Humphrey Coliseum since its opening on Dec. 1, 1975, is available here.
"Humphrey Coliseum was synonymous with live music until roughly ten years ago," MSU Director of Athletics Zac Selmon said. "This is something we've been working on for a while, and we identified Nathan and his team at Peachtree as the right partners to bring concerts back to Mississippi State University. It's important that we do our part in bringing economic impact to the city of Starkville while also providing memorable experiences for our student body. For this to line up with the 50th anniversary of Humphrey Coliseum's opening is even more special."
Live entertainment at Humphrey Coliseum is expected to start in spring 2026 with a projected 5-6 shows annually including national recording artists, comedy acts, and family entertainment. In a cross-campus collaboration, Peachtree Entertainment will also work with Music Maker Productions, a Mississippi State University non-profit student-run organization, to provide experiences and education within the music industry.
"Mississippi State has an incredible history of bringing world-class entertainment to Starkville, and we're honored to help write its next chapter," said Nathan Baugh, CEO of Peachtree Entertainment. "Our mission is to create unforgettable live experiences that connect communities through music, and we see huge potential in these iconic venues. The spirit of Mississippi State and the passion of its fans make this the perfect home for the next wave of concerts in the region."
