As Pittsburgh prepares to welcome the nation for the NFL Draft, the city’s kickoff celebration will begin with an unforgettable, invite-only night of music.
Y108’s The Night Before, powered by Bowser Chevrolet, takes place Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at the Rivers Casino Event Center.
Taking place on the eve of one of the biggest events Pittsburgh has ever hosted, The Night Before will feature music superstar Jason Aldean, delivering an intimate and high-energy performance like only he can.
Aldean will be joined on stage by national Country artists John Morgan and Shane Profitt, 100.7 Star's TJ The DJ, and a local performer who will be determined by Y108's The One Before The Night Before, where bands, singers, comedians and other performers will compete in the coming weeks to win the coveted opportunity to be the first performers on the stage that evening. (Details on The One Before The Night Before coming soon).
“The Night Before will set the tone for an incredible week in Pittsburgh,” said Michael Spacciapolli, Senior Vice President and Market Manager for Audacy Pittsburgh. “With the NFL Draft bringing national attention to our city, The Night Before gives us the opportunity to showcase Pittsburgh at its best. Bringing together music, sports and the city of Pittsburgh for a truly memorable kickoff experience to an unforgettable time in our region.”
