Dozens of artists hit the road during 2023 to bring their music to sold-out venues across the globe.

The first half of the year started off strong with artists and bands like Harry Styles, Journey, Carrie Underwood, SZA, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Reba McEntire, Janet Jackson, Lizzo, Blink-182, Charlie Puth, Billy Idol, Wiz Khalifa, Bebe Rexha and Black Pink heading out on their headlining tours.

Some artists had such sought-after tickets for their tours, including Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, that it led to sites, such as Ticketmaster, completely crashing when tickets dropped.

Many summer nights were also filled with good tunes this year as artists including Alicia Keys, Post Malone, Paramore, Chris Stapleton, Boygenius, Lionel Richie, Melissa Etheridge and Maggie Rogers set out on tours during the warmer months.

Concert tours are not only an opportunity for artists to promote their latest albums or to highlight their entire music catalogs, but it’s also a chance for their fans to come together to celebrate the music and musicians that they look up to and love. Those attending shows for artists such as Swift, Beyoncé and Styles often dress to impress, going all out for their outfits. Beyoncé even asked her fans to specifically come to her Virgo season concerts for her Renaissance World Tour decked out in silver and chrome, to celebrate her astrological sign. Swifties, inspired by the lyric “Make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it …” from her song “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” made themed bracelets to trade and hand out to other fans at each of the stops on her Eras Tour.

The performers often praise their fans for all their love and support, like Swift writing on social media in July after her stops in Seattle, Washington, “Thank you for everything. All the cheering, screaming, jumping, dancing, singing at the top of your lungs.”

But if you missed the opportunity to see your favorite artists earlier this year, don’t worry, because The Hollywood Reporter has compiled a list of some of the most anticipated concert tours happening this fall, below.

The Most Anticipated Concert Tours Of 2023

The touring industry is exploding right now. In a blog post written earlier this year, Lorde astutely noted how basically all of the artists who couldn’t tour during the pandemic are now all hitting the stage all at once. And that massive influx of high-profile concert tours is continuing into 2023. From long-awaited concert tours to anniversary celebrations to high-profile comebacks, these are the most anticipated concert tours of 2023.

Arctic Monkeys

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Arctic Monkeys (@arcticmonkeys)

For the first time in nearly ten years, Arctic Monkeys released a new album. The Car , is a cinematic melodrama enacted as debonairly as possible in the way that only Alex Turner and company can. They’re set to make 22 tour stops in North America at the tail end of summer and Dublin’s Fontaines D.C. are opening for them.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce)

While Beyoncé hasn’t announced any plans to tour in support of Renaissance yet (or release any music videos from it for that matter) she dropped a $20,000 hint that a tour is coming this summer. You see, at the WACO Theater Wearable Art Gala in October, Beyoncé put up an extravagant package for the charity auction. For $20k, the package description included airline tickets and a meet and greet to, “Beyoncé’s Renaissance 2023 tour.” Shout out to the Bey Hive member who sussed out this caper. ( Update: Beyoncé announced a Renaissance world tour on February 1, 2023.)

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Big Thief (@bigthiefmusic)

In a year that saw them releasing another dynamite album in Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You , Big Thief announced an active schedule of concerts across four continents . But they really made waves this past week in laying out a plan to invite teachers and students to their soundchecks along the tour. The band wants to provide young people with opportunities to engage in learning experiences around creativity, music, playing shows, and songwriting. Awesome.

Not only is Blink 182 back, but guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge has rejoined the band making for a full reunion tour . Delonge, drummer Travis barker, and bassist/singer Mark Hoppus are also set to headline a slew of South American festivals, as well as the When We Were Young emo nostalgia fest in Las Vegas. Oh, and a new Blink 182 album is apparently on deck as well.

Bruce Springsteen

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bruce Springsteen (@springsteen)

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band are hitting the road in 2023 for the first time since 2017. Yet when news of the US tour dates hit , Ticketmaster’s flexible pricing model sent some seats soaring in the thousands of dollars range and fans were none too pleased. Springsteen answered the critics essentially saying that the imperfect system is what it is, but, “If there’s any complaints on the way out, you can have your money back.” They don’t call him The Boss for nothing.

Death Grips

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Death Grips (@bbpoltergiest)

For the first time in four years, horrorcore trailblazers Death Grips will be going out on tour . The experimental rap trio of Zach Hill, MC Ride, and Andy Morin put on an electric live show, with MC Ride an always visceral presence on the microphone.

Depeche Mode

It was a tough year for Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan and Martin Gore when longtime keyboardist Andy “Fletch” Fletcher died in May at the age of 60 . But Depeche Mode are still planning on releasing their new album Memento Mori , this spring. “Fletch would have loved this album,” Gahan said. The Memento Mori World Tour begins in March in the US and only ends in August in Europe.

With albums entitled +, =, ÷ , and x Ed Sheeran is bringing the theme full circle with his North America megatour dubbed the Mathematics Tour . He’ll be playing gigantic stadium sets at venues like Houston’s NRG Stadium, Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, and Detroit’s Ford Field. Meanwhile, he has curated a diverse set of tour openers in Khalid, Maisie Peters, Russ, Rosa Linn, Cat Burns, and Dylan.

Hopefully, GloRilla is planning on giving her assistant a raise , because she’s going to be plenty busy with her first-ever headlining tour in 2023. The Anyways, Life’s Great Tour is tabbed as GloRilla “with friends,” so we’ll see who decides to pop up on stage with the Memphis rapper. Could one of those friends be Cardi B at some point? The pair collaborated on the track “Tomorrow 2” which hit the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2022.

Janet Jackson

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Janet Jackson (@janetjackson)

When Janet Jackson announced the Together Again Tour for 2023 , she also promised that “there will be new music.” Not that we really need any, considering how many #hits she’s turned out across the decades, but it definitely adds to the mystique of what the always explosive “That’s The Way Love Goes” singer does on stage. Ludacris is joining her as the opening act, cause why the heck not?

JID and Smino

View this post on Instagram A post shared by J.I.D (@jidsv)

Both JID and Smino dropped albums in 2022. JID’s Forever Story places him in the conversation of today’s best, while Smino’s incredibly unique Luv 4 Rent features A-List featured guests like J-Cole and Lil Uzi Vert. Now the Atlanta and St. Louis connection will come to fruition on the 32-date cross-continent Luv Is 4Ever Tour .

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

View this post on Instagram A post shared by kinggizzard (@kinggizzard)

Are King Gizzard the most prolific band in the world right now? The Aussie psycho rockers did just drop five albums in 2022. They’ve certainly become one of the most cultiish live bands on the planet regardless. They’re June 2023 tour begins at The Caverns Underground in Tennessee and ends with a three-hour “marathon set” at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Metallica (@metallica)

The pioneering metal band from San Francisco have a new album due out on April 14th called 72 Seasons and the corresponding tour will stretch far beyond 2023. Metallica will be hitting the road this year, making stops in both Europe, the US, Canada, while picking it up again for a slew of 2024 dates in Europe and all of North America including Mexico. The shows will feature them playing 2 nights in cities, with no song repeats and an in-the-round staging.

Paramore’s much-hyped sixth album, This Is Why , is due out on February 10th and the Hayley Williams-led band have a tour ready to rock for the summertime. Beginning in May, Paramore will be touring all throughout North America and have an illustrious cast of support acts in tow in Bloc Party (whom they cite as a primary influence), Foals, The Linda Lindas, and Genesis Owusu.

The Postal Service and Death Cab For Cutie

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Postal Service (@postalservicemusic)

Not only is The Postal Service embarking on a 20th Anniversary Tour for their cult-classic album Give Up, but it’s a double bill with Death Cab For Cutie. Ben Gibbard will be pulling double duty, but he’s the quintessential rockstar on stage and can more than handle it. And as great as Death Cab’s latest album, Asphalt Meadows , is, the vibes will surely be highest as soon as Jenny Lewis joins Gibbard on vocals for Give Up’s opening track, “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.”

Sad hotties rejoice, SZA is going on tour! After an unfathomable number of teasers and delays, SZA’s new album S.O.S. finally dropped last month and she’ll be supporting it on tour with Omar Apollo as the opening act. We got a preview of SZA’s S.O.S. stage setup at Outside Lands festival 2022 in San Francisco this past summer and it’s thematic to the album to say the least.

Taylor Swift

Following the release of Midnights , Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour will mark her first stadium performances in five years. By now, you’ve surely heard about how Taylor damn near broke Ticketmaster when tickets went on sale and the tour has already netted over a half billion dollars in sales. This will mark the largest run of US dates for Swift, so do what you have to do to get into the stadium. And if all else fails, maybe her cat can put you on the guest list?

The Walkmen

A decade since The Walkmen went on an “extreme hiatus,” the indie rock staples announced a comeback for 2023 with a limited number of shows in only New York City at first. The tour has since expanded to add multi-night residencies in Philadelphia, Chicago, and Washington D.C. in addition to New York City. This could potentially mean that Hamilton Leithauser, Peter Bauer, and company might finally have a new album by The Walkmen on the horizon. The plan will surely unfold on this long-awaited slate of live performances which begins in April.

Weeks after dropping his latest album, More Love Less Ego , Wizkid already started teasing a new album called SaiLess . The promise of even more new music from the world-sweeping Afrobeats star will certainly drive the interest North American Tour. Beginning in March , Wizkid will be playing arena-sized venues like Houston’s Kia Center and Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

A noted critic of Ticketmaster’s purported monopoly and the exorbitant fees that they tack on concert tickets, Zach Bryan has decided to take matters into his own hands for his upcoming tour. “I’ve decided to play a limited number of headline shows next year to which I’ve done all I can to make prices as cheap as possible and to prove to people tickets don’t have to cost $450 to see a good and honest show,” the country music rising star said on Instagram. The dates have yet to be announced but Bryan has promised them “soon” and you’ve just got to admire the stance he’s taking.

The roar of the crowd. The resonating beats that can’t be reproduced with headphones. The thrill of seeing your favorite music artist live and in the flesh. 

The greatest live-music events are transporting experiences. 

Whether their songs have been the soundtrack to your life or you just can’t help but bust a move when they play on the radio, many of music’s biggest acts are heading out on tour for 2023. You’ll spend the night in very good company as you see living legends of the music industry live, at these 10 top concerts set to tour the US in 2023. 

Lizzo: The Special 2our

The three-time Grammy winner and recent Emmy recipient Lizzo returns to American stages in 2023 with the second leg of The Special 2our. The multi-hyphenate’s tour will make stops at 17 cities throughout North America , bringing all of Lizzo’s chart-topping hits including “Good as Hell,” “About Damn Time,” “Juice” and “Boys.” Expect an electric evening of female empowerment as Lizzo gets support from her troupe of “Big Grrrl” dancers, DJ Sophia Eris (who joins the star for a rousing rendition of Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop”), backup singers and an all-women band. No Lizzo concert would be complete without Sasha Flute, Lizzo’s prized woodwind, which she deploys several times each concert, including during “Truth Hurts” and “Juice.” 

Where to get tickets: Tickets to see Lizzo live on tour are available through Ticketmaster . 

Stevie Nicks and Billy Joel: Two Icons, One Night

Two of music’s most iconic living legends will share the bill for five rousing evenings of classic rock and soul at stadiums across the country. The Two Icons, One Night tour is a rare double bill of two legendary touring acts, Stevie Nicks and Billy Joel. The limited concert series will open March 10 at Los Angeles ’ SoFi Stadium, followed by one-nighters in Arlington, Texas ; Nashville ; Columbus; and a final evening in Kansas City , on August 19. Both musicians have continuously toured throughout the decades, with Nicks most recently wrapping up a sold-out tour in summer 2022, and Joel touring the world in addition to his record-breaking residency at New York City ’s Madison Square Garden .  

Where to get tickets: Tickets to see the iconic duo are on sale now through Ticketmaster . 

P!NK: Summer Carnival 2023

Buy a ticket to see P!NK in person, and you know the glam rock diva will soar – figuratively and literally. The singer/songwriter returns to the touring circuit with P!NK’s Summer Carnival 2023, an all-new stadium spectacular with musical guests Brandi Carlile, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo set to open on select dates, with Grouplove and KidCutUp performing at all shows. P!NK concerts offer a thrilling blend of her power vocals and cutting-edge stagecraft as the star can often be seen dangling upside over the crowd or crooning effortlessly from a trapeze swing. The pop legend’s tour arrives in US on July 26 in Cincinnati , followed by 20 performances across the country, concluding on October 9, 2023.

Where to get tickets: Tickets for P!NK’s upcoming Summer Carnival tour are available through Ticketmaster . 

Adele: Weekends with Adele at the Colosseum, Las Vegas

Adele’s new residency at the Colosseum is the hottest ticket in Las Vegas – and for good reason. The singer/songwriter is at the top of her game in a new production featuring her golden voice plus plenty of Vegas spectacle. The 20-song set list compiles her most popular hits, including a most appropriate opening of “Hello,” as well as such instant classics as “Rolling in the Deep,” “Set Fire to the Rain” and “Skyfall.” This residency is the rare chance to see the megawatt performer in a smaller venue – while there are 4000 seats, this is positively intimate compared to the large arenas she has played in the past. 

Where to get tickets: The entire run of Weekends with Adele is sold out. If you’re looking to purchase tickets off a secondary market, make sure the secondary ticket vendor offers a 100% guarantee on your purchase to avoid scams.  

Taylor Swift: Eras Tour

With Ticketmaster reporting “historically unprecedented demand,” Taylor Swift’s upcoming Eras Tour is one of the most sought-after concert tickets of just about any era. The highly anticipated 52-night stadium tour is the singer/songwriter’s return to the stage after her 2018 Reputation Tour was the highest-grossing of any in US history. Expect records to be shattered again, with tickets having sold out for the new tour in record time during the presale, alongside reports that demand “could have filled 900 stadiums.” Since Swift has released four albums since she last set out on the road, it’s anyone’s guess as to which songs will make the cut. Still, you can expect a lineup of megahits including “Shake It Off,” “Blank Space” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” to be a part of the set list for certain. 

Where to get tickets: Tickets on Ticketmaster were gone in a flash during the presale. Those seeking tickets through a secondary market should stick to a platform like StubHub and VividSeats that offers a 100% money-back guarantee in fraudulent scalping.  

Usher: My Way – The Vegas Residency

Legendary singer/songwriter Usher is one of the greatest R&B showmen of all time. So there’s no question that his latest Vegas residency spanning his remarkable 20-year music career will be a spectacle of epic proportions. Set to return to the Dolby Live theater at Park MGM for 25 new dates from March through July 2023, Usher’s show will offer a rousing set list including many of his hits, such as “My Way,” “OMG” and “Yeah!” The high-voltage evening features plenty of spectacle, including a supporting cast of 23 dancers, roller skaters and pole dancers. 

Where to get tickets: Tickets and premium packages can be booked through Usher’s Vegas Residency website . 

Dead & Company: The Final Tour

Spanning more than five decades as the quintessential jam band, Dead & Company will hit the road for one final foray last time this summer. The Dead & Co. ensemble – currently led by original Grateful Dead members Bobby Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, joined by Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti and John Mayer – has continued the long legacy of the Grateful Dead by touring for each of the past eight summers. This summer, their final tour will serve as a bittersweet farewell as the band hangs up their guitars and tie-dye after having played more than 2300 concerts as the Grateful Dead. Expect Deadhead groupies from all around the world to descend for many nights of peace, love and happiness. 

Where to get tickets: Tickets for Dead & Company’s final tour are available through Ticketmaster . 

Marc Anthony: VIVIENDO Tour

Don’t expect to be sitting down for most of Marc Anthony’s wildly energetic VIVIENDO Tour, set to tour the US in 2023. The three-time Grammy and seven-time Latin Grammy winner Anthony delivers a high-energy spectacle, the kind that gets you dancing along from the first down beat. Chart-topping hits fill the set list, including “Pa’lla Voy,” “Vivir Mi Vida” and “Valió la Pena.” 

Where to get tickets: Tickets for Marc Anthony’s VIVIENDO Tour are available through Ticketmaster . 

Beyoncé: Renaissance Tour 

While details have yet to be fully released, Beyoncé will be celebrating her new album Renaissance with a live tour. The pop megastar is truly the first lady of music, having won 28 Grammys – the most by any female artist. If previous tours are any indication, Beyoncé will be making stops at major stadiums throughout the US, bringing with her a larger-than-life spectacle with dozens of backup dancers, pyrotechnics and stunning stagecraft. Renaissance  was built with the dance floor in mind – so get ready for a party like no other. 

Where to get tickets: Dates and details for the tour have yet to be released. Sign up for Beyoncé’s newsletter on her official site to be among the first to know. 

The Phantom of the Opera : final months on Broadway

In between the many A-list music acts playing the country, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more searing night of high drama and theatrical magic than the original Broadway production of The Phantom of the Opera . After 35 years, Broadway’s longest-running show will take its final bow on April 16, 2023. Hal Prince’s original staging remains as impressive as ever, featuring top-notch Broadway talent, a lush 27-piece orchestra and the iconic chandelier that crashes to the floor, night after night. Expect tickets to sell fast as “phans” fly in from around the world to hear the glorious “Music of the Night” one final time. 

Where to get tickets: Telecharge is the official ticketing website for The Phantom of the Opera . Every night, a limited number of $45 tickets are available through a digital lottery, which you can enter here .

The biggest gigs and tours to look forward to in 2023

From reunited legends to rising stars, 2023’s live calendar is jam-packed with unmissable appointments

Times are tough right now, there’s no denying that. But there’s also no denying the healing power of music – especially going to witness your favourite artist or new obsession live. Luckily 2023 is already jam-packed with massive tours and big gigs to help brighten up our lives, whether that’s Arctic Monkeys stepping up to stadiums, rap’s newest star GloRilla showing her mettle, or reunited legends like Blur and Pulp giving us some good old nostalgia. Here are the biggest gigs and tours to look forward to this year.

• Arctic Monkeys

Dates announced: Arctic Monkeys ’ 2023 dates start early, ringing in the New Year in Australia. From there, they’ll tour Asia and Europe, before coming home to the UK for a massive stadium tour and returning to the US.

Why you should go: To witness a live show as dazzling as the mirrorball the band performed around on their 2022 tour. Something tells us the grandiose strings of latest album ‘The Car’ will sound absolutely majestic in the humongous venues the Monkeys will be playing over the next 12 months.

Dates announced: Elton John starts his year in Australia and New Zealand before returning to the UK and Europe for a  Glasto finale .

Why you should go: These are quite literally your very last opportunities to see one of pop’s most iconic and unique artists. Sure, loads of acts say they’re quitting touring and then have a big change of heart a few years later, but you don’t want to take the risk of missing out on Elton.

• Red Hot Chili Peppers

Recommended

Dates announced: Red Hot Chili Peppers will tour New Zealand, Australia and Asia in the first two months of the year, moving on to North America in spring, and Europe and the UK in summer.

Why you should go: They’re pros at the big stadium spectacular – they’ve been doing it for long enough by now. They’re also bringing some huge names with them in support, from Post Malone to The Strokes and Iggy Pop . Not bad!

• Harry Styles

Dates announced: After three rescheduled LA dates in January, Harry Styles will head to Australia in February, continuing on to Asia and Europe, arriving in the UK in May.

Why you should go: The ‘Love On Tour’ tour might seem never-ending, but even if you’ve been multiple times, it’s still a whole lot of fun to go again. Enjoy the conga lines to ‘Treat People With Kindness’ and make friends with your seatmates as you bellow out Harry’s modern pop anthems together. Sounds lovely.

Dates announced: The iconic British girl group will head down under in February before playing a one-off London date in September.

Why you should go: These dates are a continuation of the original Sugababes line-up’s reunion – Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donagh – and will see the women celebrating the 25th anniversary of the group. They’ve been through a lot of ups and downs in that time, but this feels like a perfect way to mark the milestone.

Dates announced: US tour begins January 27.

Why you should go: GloRilla is the hottest new hip-hop talent in the game and it’s not going to be long before she’s filling massive venues around the world. Get down to this tour and say you saw her first – and enjoy her mix of femininity and boldness in her infectious songs.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Dates announced: US leg begins February 1; the tour arrives in Europe on April 28, with UK dates from May 30.

Why you should go: There’s been some (deserved) uproar about very expensive tickets, but if you can find a pass at a reasonable price, Springsteen will certainly give you value for money – his gigs are known to stretch for hours, rattling through the big hits and the fan favourites far longer than most acts would perform for.

Dates announced: US leg runs from February to August, with UK dates nestled in the middle in April.

Why you should go: To hear the brilliant new songs from upcoming album ‘This Is Why’ among all the best cuts from their back catalogue. Plus, it’s been way too long since Hayley Williams and co went on a proper tour – five years, in fact.

• Caroline Polachek

Dates announced: The UK, Europe and North America are all on Caroline Polachek ’s schedule, beginning in the former in February.

Why you should go: The alt-pop star’s live shows have been described as a work of art and she always packs surprises into her sets – like at her last London gig, when she was joined by Croydon’s Trinity Girls Choir on ‘Billions’.

Self Esteem 

Dates announced: UK tour kicks off in February.

Why you should go: This tour feels like a victory lap for Self Esteem , who arguably has had the best last couple of years out of all of us. Her album ‘Prioritise Pleasure’ has constantly wowed fans and critics alike, while her live show has been praised as one of the best in recent memory. Give yourself another chance to see why it’s so brilliant before she inevitably pops off to come up with her next mind-blowing record.

Dates announced: US tour kicks off February 21.

Why you should go: Because SZA ’s new album ‘SOS’ is a very late contender for Album Of The Year and, had it been released earlier, would certainly have been nearing the top of a lot of lists. If you need any more incentive (you shouldn’t), she’s also bringing along Omar Apollo in support to add some extra greatness.

Dates announced: The Doncaster rock’n’roller will head out on a world tour, beginning in the UK in February before hitting Europe and North America.

Why you should go: Yungblud ’s gigs are renowned for being inclusive, euphoric and theatrical celebrations where you can let go, be yourself and find a community of kindred spirits. We could all do with a bit more of that energy in 2023 so get down to a show and make the most of it.

Dates announced: Europe tour begins February, with UK dates from March before continuing onto North America.

Why you should go: Lizzo shows are the ultimate upper – a feel good celebration of life from one of the most infectious personalities in music. Grab your mates and make sure you get there in time for “bad bitch o’clock”.

Dates announced: The ladies of BLACKPINK will take their BORN PINK tour across Asia, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand in the first half of the year, before heading to London in July to headline BST Hyde Park.

Why you should go: This K-pop girl group know how to put on a show , from hi-tech, futuristic VTs to set the mood between each phase of the concert, to artful and flashy stage production. The songs are equally as good – by the time you leave the venue, you’ll have several jostling for place as that day’s earworm.

Dates announced: Blink ’s return begins in South America on March 11, before heading to North America in May and the UK and Europe in September.

Why you should go: It’s the pop-punk icons’ first tour with Tom DeLonge since he left the band in 2015 – aka a massive deal. There’s also a new album on the way, so this won’t just be a big nostalgia trip.

• Taylor Swift

Dates announced: US leg begins March 17; international dates TBA.

Why you should go: Taylor Swift ’s 2023 tour is dubbed ‘The Eras Tour’ and, while it’s not entirely clear exactly how she’s going to honour each of her past albums yet, it’s guaranteed to be the perfect chance to celebrate the many highs of her brilliant career so far (if you can beat Ticketmaster). Plus, the support bill in the US is stacked, with Paramore , Phoebe Bridgers , Gracie Abrams , Haim , Girl In Red , and many more along for the ride.

The Walkmen 

Dates announced: US tour begins April 24; one further festival date confirmed so far at Portugal’s Paredes de Coura Festival.

Why you should go: Sure, New York in the early noughties had The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol , but it also had The Walkmen , a band who often get left out of top billing when talking about that much-romanticised scene. Take one listen to the indie disco classic ‘The Rat’ and tell us that’s fair, and then go book your tickets to their reunion tour.

Dates announced: The tour begins in Europe in April, heading to the UK for two sets at Download Festival in June, before moving onto North America.

Why you should go: As if you need a reason to go and see Metallica , the titans of metal. But just in case: they’re masters of their craft – aka big, bruising, headbang-worthy riffs – and have a discography of seemingly endless anthems for you to get lost in the moshpit to.

Dates announced: The Italian rockers will tour Europe across spring with a massive London gig at The O2 in May.

Why you should go: In this day and age, it’s rare for Eurovision contestants to carve out careers post-Song Contest that aren’t short-lived or derided as novelty. But Måneskin are living proof that it is doable, so long as you have the tunes and the charisma to deserve more than 15 minutes of fame. The four-piece have both in bucketloads, as you can bear witness to on this tour.

Dates announced: An intimate UK tour in May.

Why you should go: Foals are now one of the biggest bands in the UK and so the opportunity to see them in tiny venues is a rare chance we must grab when it’s presented to us. Dance to ‘My Number’ on the sticky floor of a club in spring, then celebrate their ascent as they headline Reading & Leeds in the summer.

Dates announced: The UK and Ireland-only dates begin in May, continuing til July.

Why you should go: They’re back, baby! Just under a decade since their last live performances, Pulp have reunited once more and are taking their show back on the road to liven up our summer. Expect all the classics, but no Steve Mackey – the bassist has confirmed he won’t join the band on tour.

Dates announced: Select European festival dates woven between three headline shows in Dublin and London this June.

Why you should go: When Blur first reunited in 2009, they instantly blew away any fears that the band might not be the same after years apart. This latest reunion should be no different and the members seem in good spirits about it, too. “We really love playing these songs and thought it’s about time we did it again,” Damon Albarn said when the gigs were announced.

Moldy Peaches 

Dates announced: One London show and appearances at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Madrid

Why you should go: It’s been 20 years since anti-folk icons The Moldy Peaches last performed in Europe. Although they announced their reunion with the slogan “Once a Moldy Peach, always a Moldy Peach”, who knows when this opportunity to see New York underground royalty will come around again?

Joni Mitchell 

Dates announced: George, WA, Gorge Amphitheatre (June 10).

Why you should go: Joni Mitchell might be playing only one date next year but you should move heaven and earth to try and make it. Why? The last time she held a full concert was 23 years ago and it’s unlikely she’s about to hit the road for even a handful more dates at this point, so it could be your only chance to see the bonafide legend live.

Pet Shop Boys 

Dates announced: The UK and European tour runs from June to July.

Why you should go: This is Pet Shop Boys ’ ‘Dreamworld – The Greatest Hits Live’ tour so you’re basically assured that you’re going to hear all of the biggest and best songs in their inimitable arsenal.

Dates announced: London, Finsbury Park (June 23)

Why you should go: It’s Jamie T ’s biggest headline show to date and bound to be an absolute riot. This is an artist who can do indie disco bangers, poignant, softer (if booze-soaked) cuts, and everything in between and make it seem effortless.

The Weeknd 

Dates announced: UK and Europe tour begins in June before covering Latin America.

Why you should go: This huge stadium tour will cover both of The Weeknd ’s two latest albums – ‘After Hours’ and ‘Dawn FM’ – taking you inside the sci-fi-tinged world of both masterpieces.

Dates announced: Stormzy will take over one day of London’s All Points East, curating a special ‘This Is What We Mean Day’.

Why you should go: The whole day will be Stormzy’s vision – something he’s already proved countless times is a great thing. The line-up has yet to be announced but expect to discover exhilarating new talent, big names making surprise appearances and, of course, it all to be topped off by a headline set from Big Mike himself.

The Postal Service & Death Cab For Cutie

Dates announced: US tour kicks off September 8

Why you should go: Ben Gibbard is pulling double duty on the tour, fronting both The Postal Service and Death Cab For Cutie . The tour itself is a celebration of two albums – the former’s ‘Give Up’ and the latter’s ‘Transatlanticism’, and you’ll get to see both played in full. What more could you ask for?

The 13 Best Concerts of 2023 (That Weren’t Taylor Swift or Beyoncé)

Let’s get this out of the way first: You will not find Taylor Swift or Beyoncé on this list. Yes, many members of the Pitchfork staff attended the Eras Tour and the Renaissance Tour and had incredible, even life-changing, experiences there. But we covered those world-conquering phenomena extensively enough already this year. So for our final staff list of 2023, we thought we’d turn our attention to some other favorite concerts. Here, you’ll find everything from Sweeping Promises in a tiny venue in Minneapolis to SZA at Madison Square Garden, Water From Your Eyes on a boat to Floating Points and Shabaka Hutchings at the Hollywood Bowl. Let the FOMO begin…

Check out all of Pitchfork’s 2023 wrap-up coverage here .

Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul

“Let’s just ignore the rain! It’s just water, fuck it!” With the sun setting in Chicago, the precipitation sparkled like icicles each time the lights strobed out through Union Park. But Charlotte Adigéry, Bolis Pupul, and the crowd watching them at this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival merely shrugged off getting rained on. We were all too tuned into every lyric, scream, and laugh to care. Equipped with two microphones, a couple of synthesizers, a bass, and some percussion, the Belgian duo performed a set composed of tracks from their breakout album Topical Dancer , including a particularly wild version of “It Hit Me” and a polished, funky “Ceci n’est pas un cliché.” I lost my shit on the final drop of “Mantra,” and all too poetically removed my makeshift poncho, taking the bridge’s words to heart: “What’s left is a clean slate so what’s next/Thank yourself, praise your body/celebrate and dance.” –Jaeden Pinder

Feist started her Multitudes show with a reassuring smile as she filmed the audience while walking among them; she ended it with her eyes closed, caught in a reverie, her silhouette repeated to dreamy infinity on a curtain behind her. In between, she reminded us why she remains one of the most arresting performers of the 2000s indie boom. It was part solo high-wire act, as she stood alone on a stage in the middle of the crowd, mixing her bittersweet acoustic songs with charming banter that made you feel like you were catching up with an old friend. It was part clattering rock show, as she led a full band and the audience through communal catharsis. It was part DIY multimedia experiment, adorned with abstract visuals that were created in-the-moment. There was some sleight-of-hand in the form of a mysterious journal filled with casually profound poetry. There were yelps for songs that soundtracked past lives. There were tears at this Mother’s Day show, too, when Feist talked about her young daughter and the ever-upward branches of family. The whole thing allowed onlookers to live in a limbo between raw emotion and premeditated performance for a couple of hours, a magical suspension of belief. –Ryan Dombal

Floating Points, Shabaka Hutchings, and Friends

A confluence of jazz heads, electronic heads, jam band heads, philharmonic heads, and crickets descended upon the Hollywood Bowl this September for a performance of Promises , the 2021 cosmic jazz concerto by Floating Points and the late Pharoah Sanders. Some called the event an hour-long prayer, or a communion with a higher power, and all I have to say is yeah that makes sense . On Instagram, Sam Shepherd (aka Floating Points) said that they probably wouldn’t do this show again, and that there would never be an official recording of it. Does that make this performance more special? I can’t lie and say that I wasn’t thinking about the one-night-only angle as I sat in my seat and watched Miguel Atwood-Ferguson conduct the final sounds Sanders put on record before he met his creator the following year. Shabaka Hutchings, in what he said was his final performance as a saxophonist, channeled the spirit of Pharoah without attempting to replicate the unreplicable. On stage alongside Shepherd pawing at various vintage keyboards, analog synths, and tape echo machines were Dan Snaith (aka Caribou), Kieran Hebden (aka Four Tet), Kara-Lis Coverdale, Hinako Omori, and more, offering a final eulogy to the saxophone colossus. I held my breath for long portions of the performance. I didn’t hear a single word the entire show—a nearly sold-out Bowl, around 15,000 people, let all the silence in Promises hang over the amphitheater in the September breeze. In that silence all you could hear were the crickets, and all you could feel was Pharoah. –Jeremy D. Larson

Lana Del Rey

In support of her self-mythologizing album Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd , Lana Del Rey went on a tour eschewing the coastal cities she’s often sung about for less ogled-over corners of America. That included Charlotte, where I took five types of transportation from New York City to stand under a full moon in a sea of fans with ribbons in their hair, gathered to see Elizabeth Grant perform. When she did, floating in a collared white gown on a stage set that felt part dusky jazz lounge and part Puccini opera, she rode on a series of swells: of her backup singers’ crashing outros, of her dancers’ circling movements, of the crowd wailing along to the Born to Die classics. A hush held for every crisp, stuttered “t” of “Bartender”—which Lana sang seated solo at a vanity mirror—as well as during that manifesto of wayward spirits, the opening “Ride” speech. The whole show felt choreographed to overwhelm even its star, and when Lana left the stage for the final time, she was carried off, swaddled in a white sheet. In the Uber after, I regretted not hanging around the venue parking lot, smoking and gazing at the highway. When the root of the urge dawned on me, it made me laugh: it was so Lana-coded. –Hattie Lindert

Rauw Alejandro

Rauw Alejandro’s 2022 LP Saturno was a high-concept tour de force built on galactic aesthetics, touches of Miami bass, and addictive ’90s freestyle samples. I had high expectations for the show, which I hoped would match the album’s retrofuturist visual world. At the Brooklyn stop in March, Alejandro didn’t disappoint, pulling out all the production flourishes. El Zorro has always been an athletic dancer, but this time the choreography was even more intricate (tellingly, the moves on this tour left him with temporary groin and shoulder injuries). As Alejandro and his crew of backup dancers popped and locked, an LED screen, which doubled as the stage, radiated color-changing neon lights beneath them. During “Lejos del Cielo,” a wire harness lifted him into the air; suspended and spotlit, he sang caramel falsettos. Mid-concert, Alejandro brought out the Jabbawockeez for a nostalgic dance number that warmed every cold millennial heart in the room. It was an impressive display of showmanship that confirmed the Puerto Rican pretty boy’s status as one of the most prescient creative minds in pop-reggaeton. –Isabelia Herrera

In late March, I joined an army of “shluts” to bask in the glow of our provocative princess: Shygirl. The UK singer transformed the historic Wiltern theater into a pounding West Hollywood nightclub with her twinkly pop confections. Stunning visuals bounced off the tilted mirror hanging above Shygirl, immersing her in a psychedelic world that paired perfectly with her glitchy sound. Early on in the show, she brought out Tinashe for the “Heaven” remix to mass queer euphoria–a brief glimpse of the tour that could’ve been . But the show didn’t lose steam after Tinashe’s swift departure. Two dancers joined onstage, flipping and spinning down free standing poles as Shygirl let out playful moans and gasps. It was a night of unabashed horniness, especially for my friend, who made several Grindr matches throughout the night. As for me, “anytime that coochie calls, I'll be on my way.” –Maria Eberhart

Sudan Archives

Violinist, singer, songwriter, and producer Brittney Parks came through town once before, in 2021, so her ridiculously high-energy set as Sudan Archives wasn’t a surprise. But this summer she arrived with the extra firepower of Natural Brown Prom Queen , her tour de force of house, R&B, hip-hop, and pop released in 2022. Alone on stage, in a mini-skirt and heels, Parks shimmied, belted, and sawed away virtuosically at her violin, winning over an early-evening audience awaiting guitar-heavy headliners the War on Drugs. For celebratory finale “Selfish Soul,” Parks was joined by what she called her first-ever backup dancers, students of a free ballet and dance program for Black and brown youth offered through a local nonprofit. Embedded in the movements of both Parks and the dancers was a feeling of spontaneity and promise that stood as a counterargument to so much of the top-down, blockbuster-dominated pop culture of 2023: If she can do it, so can they, so can you. –Marc Hogan

Sweeping Promises

After a stellar and bittersweet last-ever set from local punks Green/Blue, Sweeping Promises’ show at 7th St Entry, the tiny venue attached to the historic First Avenue club, began inconspicuously. Lira Mondal quietly sang the opening lines of “Eraser,” the first track of their latest album, Good Living Is Coming for You , before belting at full volume. Good Living is an album with built-in lo-fi muffle, but with no distance at all between audience and band, everything became infinitely more powerful: the bass grooves, Caulfield Schnug’s guitar solos, and more than anything, Mondal’s extremely powerful voice. The show happened days after the mass shooting at the Minneapolis DIY venue Nudieland , and the band, which came up through a similar network of DIY scenes and punk house shows, paid a solemn tribute between songs. It was a great performance for a community that needed to experience loud, excellent music together in a small room. –Evan Minsker

When SZA took the stage at Madison Square Garden, it was the rare opportunity to watch an artist ascend to arena goddess status in real time. SOS had been firmly ensconced at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for several weeks, its songs equally inescapable in the grocery store and in your TikTok feed; in order to maintain that momentum, SZA needed to prove herself as a can’t-miss live performer at one of music’s most storied venues. She pulled out all the stops, musically and visually: There was a jaw-dropping stage set featuring a giant boat, an even bigger anchor, and an airborne life raft that flew the singer around the arena as she tossed flower petals down to the crowd. There was a staggering display of range, from the in-your-face raps of “Smoking on My Ex Pack” to the lovesick balladeering of “Nobody Gets Me” to the pure pop of “Kiss Me More.” There were even guest appearances by Phoebe Bridgers and Cardi B. The show both started and ended with SZA perched on a diving board, mirroring the SOS cover . At the beginning, it was an image of loneliness and introspection, a woman surrounded by nothing more than her thoughts and the waves below. By the end, it was an image of triumph, as she looked out upon her vast and powerful kingdom. –Amy Phillips

The Bowery Ballroom turned into a 2008 middle school dance when TisaKorean came to town for his Silly Tour. In the crowd you could spot baggy outfits that would have had mid-aughts Atlanta on smash and snap dances that haven’t been done in New York since the last Yankees World Series win. On stage, TisaKorean was the human Energizer Bunny, as he churned through joints from 2017 to this year’s Let Me Update My Status . Along with his hypeman Mighty Bay, both dressed like NBA Street Vol. 2 characters, they passed out props like Solo cups to make it feel like one big house party and t-shirts so people could spin them in the air for “HeLiCoPtEr sWaG Pt4.Mp3,” naturally. At one point, Tisa and Mighty Bay changed into hot dog and taco costumes, and the crowd reacted like they had been waiting all their lives for that moment. –Alphonse Pierre

Unwound reuniting felt like a dream , even when their physical presence onstage at Chicago’s Thalia Hall proved otherwise. Red and purple lights brought a backdrop of arching tree silhouettes to life while the post-hardcore band dove through its catalog like 21 years had never passed. Unwound structured the set much like their albums, with some sections focused on quiet reflections and others on abrasive, emotional breakdowns designed to lure you into a place of introspection and then snap you out of it. Reunion shows aren’t obligated to be good; plenty of bands have made that obvious by now. But the care with which singer-guitarist Justin Trosper and drummer Sara Lund approached the project following bassist Vern Rumsey’s death was the most affecting part of it all. Watching Karp’s Jared Warren up there in Rumsey’s place, tearing through those unmistakable basslines with a taut aggressiveness that honored, but never outshined, Rumsey’s originals, was deeply entrancing. In a year of countless memorable shows, Unwound was the one that’s impossible to forget, just like the best dreams are. –Nina Corcoran

Water From Your Eyes

The boat looked like a 1940s barbershop had been reincarnated as a middlebrow maritime entertainment vessel. Old-timey and white, with tacky curlicue adornments and two peppermint poles in the front, the four-story Liberty Belle carried concertgoers along a scenic route from Manhattan’s Pier 36 around the Statue of Liberty. (A gaggle of drunken girls admired Lady Liberty like she was a gay-famous diva, shrieking “you’re so cunt!!!”) This was the Water From Your Eyes Everyone’s Crushed record release boat show, a four-hour choose-your-own-adventure as bonkers and funny as the experimental rock duo themselves. On board, you could load up a paper plate of baked ziti and empanadas in a carpeted area that screamed “bar mitzvah,” have an awkward run-in with a Tinder date who ghosted you a year ago (I survived), and thrash around as cool-kid bands of New York City, including Frost Children, blasted through hits in a dank purple chamber. Rachel Brown looked effortlessly cool, as they always do, singing “Barley” in a leather jacket and sunglasses. At some point, my friend’s weed fell out of their joint right as they were about to smoke it, which was just perfect. –Cat Zhang

Leave it to Yaeji to find new possibilities in the humble rolling office chair. Backed by dancers Madison Wada and Iliana Penichet-Ramírez, she spun and wheeled her way through the With a Hammer tour, with a scene-stealing appearance by the big hammer itself. The clever choreography (by Monica Mirabile) brilliantly visualized the album’s playful, start-where-you-are creative ethos, and a rapturous reception from the crowd in Los Angeles went a long way toward warming up a corporate-feeling downtown venue. In Yaeji’s house, it’s all about recognizing everything we can do with the tools we’ve already got. –Anna Gaca

Diana Ross is gearing up for a headlining tour that is set to kick off in June. Her Music Legacy Tour will begin on June 9 in Temecula, California, at Pechanga Resort & Casino – Pechanga Summit.

Ross will then head to a number of major cities across the country including San Diego, Santa Barbara Reno, Atlantic City, Hershey, and more. The tour is set to conclude with a performance at Chautauqua Amphitheater on July 2 in Chautauqua, New York.

“I’m delighted to announce The Music Legacy Tour 2023: a celebration of my greatest No.1 hits! I’m coming home to the US to sing hit after hit from my solo career & my time with The Supremes . It’s going to be a love fest,” Ross shared in a social media post.

Etta James Makes The US Album Chart, ‘At Last’

The wattstax concert: more than soul’s woodstock.

The last time we heard from Ross was in 2022, when she unveiled her delightful Tame Impala-featuring “Turn Up The Sunshine,” from Illumination’s Minions: The Rise of Gru , produced by 2022 Grammy Producer of the Year Jack Antonoff. The unique collaboration followed the release of Ms. Ross’ Thank You album, which was released via Decca Records in 2021 .

Later that summer, it was confirmed that Ross broke the Glastonbury home viewing records for the festival’s Legends slot, surpassing 2019’s performance by Australian pop star Kylie Minogue.

TV audience numbers for the Grammy-winning singer’s Sunday afternoon slot  overtook Minogue’s original record-holding audience average of three million from BBC One’s broadcast. According to UK’s Universal Music Operations Limited, Ross’ overnight average audience figure reached 3.1 million.

Music Tours We Can't Wait to See in 2023

With 2023 upon us, these are the tours worth saving for.

It’s safe to say that with the arrival of Covid, artists and fans have been craving those special moments that come from the magic of a live show. For more than two years, many artists have been forced to release projects and perform for fans watching virtually at home, but those days have come to an end as tours have started up once again.

Though 2022 certainly saw an honest attempt at normalcy, those in entertainment hope that 2023 will bring a year full of shows and events to make up for lost time. Shondaland is running down all the 2023 music tours we’re most excited about (make sure to keep saving, however, as more artists are sure to announce future tour dates in 2023).

Arctic Monkeys

With the recent release of their seventh studio album, The Car , Arctic Monkeys began their tour in December 2022 but will do the majority of their shows in 2023, beginning their North American leg in August through the fall. The English band always bring suavity to the stage, so fans should be excited to hear them play timeless classics and some new songs off their latest record.

After what feels like a lifetime (almost five years now), Ed Sheeran has announced that he is taking his Mathematics Tour to the United States, bringing some real star power along with him. For the May 6 to September 2 dates, Khalid will join Sheeran, with rapper Russ helping to close out the end of the tour from September 9 to September 23. This tour is definitely a must-see as it is unknown when Sheeran will be in America again, and to sweeten the deal a bit more, Sheeran has already promised a new album as well, which could mean new music for the tour.

As the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year and the hottest act in country music today, Luke Combs is taking his talent global in 2023, launching a 16-country world tour across three different continents. Combs is bringing some serious star power, with artists like Lainey Wilson, Riley Green, and Cody Johnson joining him on various dates on his tour. Combs is already considered a generational talent, so seeing him in person will make a great story to tell your grandchildren around the fire one day.

“A journey through the musical eras of my career (past and present!)” — this is the description that Taylor Swift provided fans on social media when she announced her sixth tour, the Eras Tour. For Swifties all over the world, this walk down memory lane will be a celebration of Swift’s dominance over the modern era, which likely means that Swift will be pulling out all the stops every night (like she has done in the past). Her team has already added multiple dates to the North American leg of the tour, and if you have any desire to see Taylor Swift — who has 16 years’ worth of hit songs — on this tour, you better open up a new tab and purchase tickets immediately!

Lewis Capaldi

Due to the arrival of Covid, Lewis Capaldi’s attempt at a global takeover was sadly cut short after he began touring his first album, but he is coming back to take over 2023 (and finally tour North America). With the release of his sophomore album coming in May 2023, this tour will be perfect to see some new songs and the old ones we were all forced to miss out on.

Bruce Springsteen

“It doesn’t feel that long, but, you know, we stayed busy over that time, but still it’s — I’ve got the jones to play live very badly at this point” is what legend Bruce Springsteen had to say on SiriusXM’s E Street Radio in regard to his five-year hiatus from the E Street Band. Springsteen and the band are set to embark on another tour in 2023, beginning in North America in February and continuing into Europe through July. Fans in North America can also rejoice as a second leg of the North American shows was added after the band returns from Europe, which means there will be a plethora of opportunities to pack up and catch Springsteen and the E Street Band on the road.

Dead & Company

All good things must come to an end — this is the feeling that was left for millions of fans as Dead & Company announced that their 2023 tour would be their last appearances together. Composed of members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, and Jeff Chimenti, the band is a spin-off project stemming from the original version of the group, the Grateful Dead. Though this may be the end of this band’s run, Grateful Dead member Mickey Hart has teased future work in a post on Facebook : “I have loved this chapter with Dead & Company, as we got to explore The Music with some new interpreters and different antennas, but we always knew it was just a chapter. The Music never stops.” Since nothing is guaranteed, fans should buy tickets to see these legends now before they move on from this chapter in their lives forever.

Anita Baker

It’s time to rejoice as Anita Baker has announced her first full tour after 28 years away from the spotlight. The eight-time Grammy winner made her announcement on social media , along with a very important message — she will be playing her own catalog of music. This is quite the news as Baker has been without control of her master recordings for an extended period of time. Not only is she taking her power back, she will also be celebrating this monumental victory with her fans on tour in 2023.

Lil Uzi Vert

Despite dreading the spotlight, rapper Lil Uzi Vert surprised his fans by announcing he will launch a 20-city tour starting in March 2023. This marks the first tour by Uzi since 2018, which likely means he will be playing a lot of his newer songs along with the classics. Uzi’s desire to play shows could be stemming from his recent appearances at various festivals, but more information should be coming in the next few weeks regarding his tour.

Honorable Mention: Beyoncé

Though nothing has been confirmed quite yet, there is heavy speculation from many that Beyoncé will go on tour in the summer of 2023. The latest piece of evidence comes from the WACO Theater’s Wearable Art Gala 2022, where a concert ticket package was auctioned off as “a chance to see Beyoncé on her Renaissance Tour.” Nothing is certain, but with Queen Bey’s release of Renaissance , the rumors seem to be leaning toward the truth.

Ethereal, hopeful, humble, powerful... just absolute ART. The show was focused on everyone, a celebration of culture, love, identities, and struggle. I love that she made it more about the group on stage as a whole than just her- Tons of stage presence nonetheless. Beautiful band, beautiful backup singers. The lighting was amazing and the stage was so well done and simple. Solange holds her own and I cannot wait to see her when she comes back. You can tell she was feeling it when she got down on the left side of the stage and started singing to us, beautiful moment that reminds me why I love going to live shows/concerts. Flying Lotus was an absolute trip as well. I wish she would've brought Kelela out on this date... Scales is such a beautiful song and I'd of loved to see it live with them two.

Moses Sumney

Moses was amazing. Very enigmatic but still approachable, and he had a lot of fun with the crowd. The performance was incredible, his voice is truly something to behold. I've listened to "Worth It" a million times but still got chills when he hit the high note. Would highly recommend seeing Moses live, especially before he gets really famous and expensive to see.

Arcade Fire

They say perfection doesn't exist, well that's wrong when it comes to Arcade Fire. The show was perfect, almost surreal- definitely the concert of the year by far. The set list on the Wednesday show was as of it was made for me, playing songs I never thought I would hear live, it was an emotional experience. The lighting, costumes, music transitions, props was amazing, and the boxing type ring stage was incredibly clever, allowing them to be closer to the fans and yet providing a different show on every side. Words can't explain what I felt during and after the concert, it was playful, clever, emotional, energetic- Such an amazing band, I'm so glad I found them- I don't know how I was alive before finding them. They have such an incredible stage presence, I really truly recommend seeing them if you have the chance- they unite all ages and create magic and unity.

Absolutely incredible!! Khalid was only my second concert ever and it has inspired me to see as many as I can. It felt like every song was played at 250% and it sounded incredible. The band was phenomenal and I could really feel the music. The crowd was happy and everyone was having a good time. I'd see him again if I could.

Amazing. Breathtaking. One of the best performers I have and will ever see. Her voice was powerful and her performance flawless, as usual. Would always recommend to anyone. I hope to see her again someday again because this was the second time and it felt just like the first one!

Absolutely incredible! The music sounded amazing live, not like anything I've heard before. Jónsi Birgisson's voice is incredible live also, even earning applause from the crowd for the length of some of the notes he pulled off. The visuals were stunning. The lights and background of the stage were beautiful. Overall a wonderful experience and will absolutely be seeing them again if I get the opportunity!

Diana Ross Announces ‘The Music Legacy Tour’

Living legend Diana Ross is embarking on a new headlining tour that starts in June.

Her Music Legacy Tour kicks off June 9  in Temecula, California, at Pechanga Resort & Casino – Pechanga Summit. Ross play shows in various U.S. cities, including San Diego, Reno, Nevada, Atlantic City, New Jersey and more.

The tour, at this time, wraps at Chautauqua Amphitheater on July 2 in Chautauqua, New York.

“I’m delighted to announce The Music Legacy Tour 2023: a celebration of my greatest #1 hits! I’m coming home to the US to sing hit after hit from my solo career & my time with The Supremes. It’s going to be a love fest,” Ross shared in a social media post.

On the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Ross has six solo No. 1 hits to her credit. Here’s the rundown: 

• “Endless Love” with Lionel Richie — nine weeks at No. 1, beginning Aug. 15, 1981
• “Upside Down” — four weeks at No. 1, beginning Sept. 6, 1980
• “Love Hangover” — two weeks at No. 1, beginning May 29, 1976
• “Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You’re Going To)” — one week at No. 1, Jan. 24, 1976
• “Touch Me In The Morning” — one week at No. 1, Aug. 18, 1973
• “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” — three weeks at No. 1, beginning Sept. 19, 1970

As part of The Supremes, Ross tallied 12 No. 1 Hot 100 hits, the second most for a group behind The Beatles, who has 20.

According to Billboard, the group’s biggest hit was “Love Child,” from their 1968 album of the same name. It topped the Hot 100 for two weeks, beginning Nov. 30, 1968.

Ross’ upcoming tour will mark her first since performing U.S. and UK/European dates last year as part of her Thank U Tour . Those series of show dates supported her 25th studio album Thank You . 

Released in November 2021, Thank You was Ross’ first album in 15 years, following 2006’s I Love You . The featureless LP contained 13 songs, all of which she co-wrote, including the singles “ All Is Well ” and “ If The World Just Danced .” 

“This collection of songs is my gift to you with appreciation and love. I am eternally grateful that I had the opportunity to record this glorious music at this time,” Ross said.

Thank You garnered rave reviews, earning Ross a Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album nod at the 65th Grammy Awards. It became her first nomination in 40 years. The award ultimately went to Higher by Michael Bublé.

Pras on Canceled Fugees Tour: ‘My Frustration Was for the Fans’

By Daniel Kreps

Daniel Kreps

Pras Michel opened up about his disappointment about the recently canceled Fugees tour — but stopped short of blaming Lauryn Hill for the nixed reunion trek — in a new interview.

Speaking to Vulture two weeks after the Fugees abruptly canceled the tour due to admitted low ticket sales, Michel said that that the trio’s checkered touring history, as well as Hill’s notoriety for constant concert tardiness — and “not some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines,” as Hill claimed — likely impacted demand for the gigs.

The Fugees first revealed their reunion plans following a 15-year hiatus back in September 2021, with Hill, Michel and Wyclef Jean announcing their return with a Global Citizen show days later. Even that gig, Michel revealed to Vulture, was marred with problems, as Hill’s habit of showing up onstage hours late resulted in the Fugees playing a standalone, pre-taped show on a New York rooftop instead of playing live during the streaming event. Hill, as expected, showed up three hours late for the reunion performance, resulting in some fans’ cars being towed, Pras said.

“Everyone’s frustration has been building up. This is not something that just happened overnight. My frustration was for the fans. They are paying their hard-earned money to see you,” Michel told Vulture .

Following the canceled Fugees tour, Michel dropped a new track called “Bar Mitzfa” that was interpreted as a diss track toward Hill; Michel told Vulture it was more about him venting over the situation.

Taylor Swift Says Canceling Eras Tour Shows in Vienna Due to Terrorist Plot Was ‘Devastating’ and ‘Filled Me With a New Sense of Fear’

Taylor Swift has spoken out after three of her Eras Tour dates in Vienna were canceled earlier this month following a thwarted terrorist attack that led to the arrest of two men.

In a post on Instagram commemorating the end of the European leg of the show, which just wrapped at London’s Wembley Stadium, Swift shared that she was overwhelmed by the cancellations and that they instilled a sense of fear and trepidation.

Swift was initially slated to take the stage at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium on Aug. 8-10 as part of the international leg of her Eras Tour. But authorities canceled the shows after two men were arrested just outside of Vienna in the town of Ternitz.

At first, authorities said that the concerts could continue with added security, but hours after news of the arrest, they decided to cancel the shows. Police Chief Gerhard Purstl claimed that the concrete danger had been “minimized,” but that an “abstract danger” remained.

Austrian concert promoter Barracuda Music confirmed the terroristic threat in a statement announcing the cancelations. “ Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Vienna Shows cancelled due to government officials confirmation of planned terrorist attack,” read the statement. “With confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety.”

Swift just finished up the final stretch of her European Eras Tour with five dates at for London’s Wembley Stadium. She’ll soon return to North America to conclude the tour in November with six dates at Toronto’s Rogers Centre and three at Vancouver’s BC Place.

In a subsequent caption, she celebrated the conclusion of the European Eras Tour shows by thanking her surprise guests Ed Sheeran, Florence Welch and Jack Antonoff. And, of course, she concluded by showing love to the fans who came out in droves to support the performances.

“To the fans who have seen us this summer, you’ll always have the most sparkling place in my memories,” she stated. “You were a dream to perform for, dance with, and share those magical moments with. We’ll see you all again when we resume The Eras Tour in October, but for now we get to take a much needed rest. Thank you for the adventure of a lifetime. May it continue…”

Taylor Swift Says She Felt ‘Fear’ and ‘Guilt’ After Canceled Vienna Shows

The three stops in Austria on the pop star’s Eras Tour were canceled after the authorities discovered a terrorist plot targeting the concerts.

By Matt Stevens

Taylor Swift said Wednesday that she was devastated by the cancellation of her Eras Tour concerts in Vienna, adding that the terrorist plot that had targeted her shows there had filled her “with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming.”

In an Instagram post celebrating the end of the European leg of her tour, Ms. Swift offered her first public comments about the three derailed shows, which were called off after officials in Austria said they had arrested two men accused of plotting a terrorist attack. One of the men, they said, had recently pledged allegiance to the Islamic State online and had focused on the Eras Tour as a potential target.

Nearly 200,000 people had been expected to attend the Vienna concerts, which were to start on Aug. 8.

In her social media post published on Wednesday, Ms. Swift said she was grateful to the authorities, “because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives.”

“I decided that all of my energy had to go toward helping to protect the nearly half a million people I had coming to see the shows in London,” she said of the next stop on her tour. “My team and I worked hand in hand with stadium staff and British authorities every day in pursuit of that goal, and I want to thank them for everything they did for us.”

“Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows,” she continued. “In cases like this one, ‘silence’ is actually showing restraint, and waiting to express yourself at a time when it’s right to. My priority was finishing our European tour safely, and it is with great relief that I can say we did that.”

Thousands of fans who had been eager to spend a few hours with Ms. Swift in Vienna — including many who traveled great distances to see her — shed tears over the canceled concerts . Many others who had planned to see her the following week in London endured anxious days , worrying both about their personal safety and about whether the highlight of their summer would also be called off.

But Ms. Swift’s shows went on as planned, a fact that she celebrated in her Instagram post.

“All five crowds at Wembley Stadium were bursting with passion, joy, and exuberance,” she said. “The energy in that stadium was like the most giant bear hug from 92,000 people each night, and it brought me back to a place of carefree calm up there.”

Arts and Culture Across Europe

With an opera at the Salzburg Festival and recordings on Deutsche Grammophon, the music of Mieczyslaw Weinberg may be taking root. Has his time finally come ?

An artist briefly stole a 17th-century coin from the British Museum , using sleight of hand to draw parallels to what he called the “trickery” of objects with contested provenance.

Whether you’re looking for frothy musicals or fiercely charged political writing, here are some of the shows vying for the attention  of visitors and residents seeking out London theater this summer.

A production of “Richard III” at the Shakespeare’s Globe theater faced criticism because a nondisabled actor plays the scheming king. But disputes like these miss the point , our critic writes.

The violent history of the Dutch colony that is now New York is not well known in the Netherlands. The curators of a new exhibition at the Amsterdam Museum  want to change that.

Australian band Sons of the East polishes off 100-stop world tour with shows in Alaska

For a good chunk of their dozen-year career, Dan Wallage and his bandmates in Sons of the East were playing around their home in Sydney, Australia, for discount drinks and half-price meals.

When they complete their four-show tour through Alaska this weekend, the band will have performed more than 100 concerts worldwide this year. Wallage said finishing the tour in the 49th state seems like a cherry on top of what has been an overwhelmingly successful year for the band.

“To think we’re going to be playing a few shows in Alaska, having just done 100 shows around the world, it’s pretty surreal,” said Wallage, who plays guitar and banjo.

The band plays Wednesday at the Palmer Alehouse and Thursday at 49th State Brewing in Anchorage before heading to Hope for a pair of shows Friday at Saturday at the Creekbend Company. All four shows start at 7 p.m.

Sons of the East has been a DIY music success story, building an audience with energetic live performances. The band released its first studio album, “Palomar Parade,” in 2022. In short order, the group garnered more than 300 million streams including singles and EPs.

An indie folk group, the trio also includes keyboardist Nic Johnston and guitarist Jack Rollins. All three share singing duties to create the band’s tight harmonies.

They draw from influences from their home country as well as classic American performers like The Eagles, Johnny Cash and Simon & Garfunkel.

“We all grew up on our parents’ music,” Wallage said. “In terms of kind of bands that are closer to home, all of us are massive Crowded House fans. And Jack grew up listening to a lot of AC/DC. We all grew up listening to lots of different music, which is why throughout our songwriting, there’s definitely quite a mix of sounds and influences.”

While the band members have taken harmony inspiration from the traditional American music, they’ve also put a unique twist on their own vocals.

“We try and put a slightly more modern take on the harmony variations, but in terms of just getting them sounding good and in tune, you always go back to a lot of that country stuff, where they just sound incredible.”

During its travels, the band is constantly asked about Australia’s most notable marsupial — the kangaroo. But that hasn’t stopped them from hoping to catch a glimpse at some of Alaska’s most well-known residents.

“Jack’s dream is to see a bear so that’s come up nearly every day in the car,” Wallage said. “We love nature and we love animals so when we go somewhere with an animal that we don’t have in Australia, we’re always like, ‘We need to see it.’ ”

Once the band returns home, they’ll finish off the year with more gigs in Australia and then start preparations for their second full-length album, which they hope to release next year. Spending nearly the full year on tour has been a grind, but the band is excited about the progress they’ve made.

“We used to play at a local pub down the road from our house, and you know, it’d be a few of our mates and our parents there,” he said. “We’ve just seen so many incredible places. And to top it off in Alaska is a pretty awesome way to finish it all off for the year.”
