TWINSICK returns to Columbus for New Year's Eve at The Bluestone

The Minneapolis DJ duo hasn't played Columbus since March 2024. They're back to count down 2026 in a 1,000-capacity room.

Most New Year's Eve plans in Columbus get made in a group chat around mid-December, after somebody finally commits. If yours involve a dance floor, one option just made the decision easier.

TWINSICK plays The Bluestone on Thursday, Dec. 31, at 7 p.m. That's New Year's Eve. Tickets are through The Bluestone, and the room holds 1,000. The show was announced Oct. 22.

It's the duo's first Columbus show since March 23, 2024, when they played The Forum. Two and a half years is a long time in dance music, and it's long enough that a lot of the campus crowd who caught them then has graduated, while a new class has arrived that may know them only from their phones.

TWINSICK is Alex Ingalls and Casey Schneider, both Minneapolis natives, who formed the project in late 2019, according to their artist page with Tao Group. They first made their name on remixes and mashups that drew notice from acts like The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Tiësto, Loud Luxury and Two Friends, and they've since played main stages at North American festivals and nightclubs around the world.

They've played more than 100 U.S. college campuses, which helps explain why a Columbus crowd knows exactly what to do with them.

That college-circuit résumé is a big part of the story here. The same page counts more than 100 U.S. college campuses on their list of stops, and the duo built its following in the kind of Big Ten towns where a Thursday night show can feel like a homecoming. When they came through Champaign-Urbana's Canopy Club in early 2024, The Daily Illini was there to cover it.

What's changed since that last Columbus show is the scale of the rooms. In 2026, their calendar has run through Miami Beach club dates, including bookings promoted by Groot Hospitality and Greater Miami's tourism bureau. A New Year's Eve booking at a 1,000-capacity Columbus room puts them back in front of a Midwest crowd on the biggest party night of the year.

A 7 p.m. start on New Year's Eve also leaves room to plan. Check The Bluestone's listing for set times and any age restrictions before you buy, and sort out your ride home now, not at 12:45 a.m.

Two and a half years away, one night to make up for it. Pick your outfit, and save some energy for midnight.
