FOX announced on Saturday morning that Big Noon Kickoff will head to Columbus, Ohio, next week for the highly-anticipated matchup between Indiana and Ohio State.
However, the Big Noon Kickoff crew won’t be alone this week. The Black Keys, a band that has roots in the state of Ohio, will be performing live on Big Noon Kickoff next Saturday, according to the network.
Here’s the announcement:

The Black Keys originated in Akron, Ohio. Their accomplishments include 5 Grammy wins all-time, including a “Best Rock Album” nod back in 2013 for “El Camino.” More recently, their album “Dropout Boogie” was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
Big Noon Kickoff is gearing up for arguably its biggest game of the year in Week 13. The winner of that game will likely face Oregon in the Big Ten Championship Game in December.
Additionally, this game will have College Football Playoff implications for both teams. Ohio State is fighting for seeding while Indiana might need to go undefeated in order to reach the CFP this season due to a relatively-weak strength of schedule.
Kickoff from Columbus next week is set for 12 p.m. ET.
