All the Tours We Can’t Wait to See in 2026

2026 is set to be a major year for music fans, with highly-anticipated new releases from the likes of A$AP Rocky, Megan Moroney, and Hilary Duff (among many others). But what if you prefer live music? Then get excited! The year ahead is jam-packed with exciting reunions, live debuts, and shows we’ve been waiting years for. Highlights include Hayley Williams‘ first-ever solo tour, Ariana Grande‘s return to the live stage after seven years, and Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson’s reunion to celebrate Rush‘s 50th anniversary in honor of their late bandmate Neil Peart. Fans will also get to see some of the best albums of 2025 performed live, including Olivia Dean‘s The Art of Loving, Rosalía’s Lux, and Lily Allen’s West End Girl.

Just like we’re holding out hope for new music from pop heavyweights like Harry Styles and Olivia Rodrigo, we’re also crossing our fingers they put some tour dates on the books this year — and we’re anxiously awaiting concert dates from BTS. But there are already plenty of fully scheduled concerts to look forward to. Here are all the tours we’re most excited for in 2026.

Hayley Williams, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party Tour

Hayley Williams was already an icon to countless Paramore fans, but she ascended to a whole new level of stardom in 2025 with the exhilaratingly free pop, rock, and R&B adventures of her solo album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party. We can’t wait to see this super-charismatic live performer tear through anthems like “Mirtazapene,” “Good Ol’ Days,” and “Love Me Different” on her first-ever proper solo run. The excellent taste she’s shown by bringing IYKYK indie phenoms Water From Your Eyes along as her opening act for most dates just confirms this is the front-runner for 2026’s coolest tour. —Simon Vozick-Levinson

Ariana Grande, Eternal Sunshine Tour

There’s an interlude on Ariana Grande’s latest album, Eternal Sunshine, that digs into the astrological phenomenon of Saturn returns, a transformative phase in life that only comes around every 29 years or so. Her long-awaited Eternal Sunshine tour is a rare event in its own right: Grande hasn’t toured since 2019, when she performed in support of both Sweetener and Thank U, Next, following a tumultuous period in her personal life and an incredibly successful chapter of her career. That dissonance, she recently revealed, damaged her relationship with pop stardom as a whole. Now, she’s repairing it on her own terms. Grande has said the Eternal Sunshine tour will likely be her last for a long while. It’s a brief and intimate run for a star of her caliber, but also a chance to celebrate one of pop’s most essential voices. —Larisha Paul

Rush, Fifty Something Tour

If an Oasis reunion seemed unlikely in 2025, a Rush tour in 2026 seemed even more inconceivable. But it’s real: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are officially returning to the stage, 11 years after they played their final show with their late drummer, Neil Peart. They recruited German virtuoso Anika Nilles on the drum kit for 56 dates across North America, kicking off on June 7 in Los Angeles. It’s inarguably the most anticipated rock show of the year, and it will be a great way to celebrate the prog legends’ 50th anniversary. Or, as Lee put it: “We have to go back into the gym!”—Angie Martoccio

Olivia Dean, The Art of Loving Tour

Last summer, Olivia Dean headlined a sold-out show at New York’s Brooklyn Paramount. She seemed right at home at the newly-renovated venue that once hosted performances from Ella Fitzgerald, the Supremes, Duke Ellington, and more greats. When she previewed songs like “Man I Need” and “So Easy (To Fall in Love)” — well before their official release on The Art of Loving, which arrived nearly three months later — her synergy with her expertly-assembled band made it easy to imagine her building a formidable legacy of her own. The Art of Loving Live Tour will make even bolder strides in that direction as Dean headlines arenas across North America, including four nights at Madison Square Garden. —L.P.

Cardi B, Miss Drama Tour

Last year, Cardi B finally followed up her massively successful debut with Am I the Drama?, and she’s ready to make even more money moves with the Miss Drama Tour. Just like her second album, Cardi’s first-ever headlining tour has been a long time coming. Right around the time she released Invasion of Privacy back in 2018, she gave birth to her first child and consequently scrapped her scheduled arena tour. After nearly seven years, Cardi is set on making the wait worth it. “I’m going to give it my all. This is going to be one of the greatest tours,” she told Billboard. Whatever she may have up her sleeve, we’re dying to see Cardi command the stage with her catalog of rowdy, raunchy hits. —Maya Georgi

Rosalía, Lux World Tour

Rosalía’s ambition knows no bounds. As if it wasn’t enough to release the critically-acclaimed, baroque-inspired Lux, which featured 13 different languages, the singer is embarking on a 43-show trek around the world in support of the project. Rosalía already took Lux to the stage for performances at Los40 Music Awards and The Tonight Show, and if those short sets are any indication, her upcoming world tour is going to be one for the books. For each performance, the singer tapped string musicians and classical players as she flaunted gowns and high-production stage sets. No doubt Rosalía will go even bigger for the Lux world tour as she reimagines the album’s symphonic drama for the stage. Here’s hoping she brings a full-on orchestra with her to every city. —M.G.

Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, Love Earth Tour

Months after Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s 2024 summer tour was called off at the midway point due to health issues in the band, Young formed a new group he dubbed the Chrome Hearts with guitarist Micah Nelson, organ legend Spooner Oldham, and the Promise of the Real rhythm section of Anthony LoGerfo and Corey McCormick. As they proved all throughout last year, the Chrome Hearts are a nimble unit capable of handling anything he throws at them, from the delicate “Ambulance Blues” to the thunderous “Like a Hurricane.” The only dates official on the books for 2026 are in Europe, but Young has indicated there will likely be a smattering of U.S. shows as well. —Andy Greene

Brunos Mars, The Romantic World Tour

Bruno Mars is beckoning all the lovers (and the players) with his upcoming The Romantic world tour. It’s been nearly a decade since the Grammy-winning musician hit some new stages after most recently hosting Las Vegas residency shows with Anderson .Paak as Silk Sonic in 2022. Our ears haven’t heard the music yet — the album doesn’t come out until February — but Mars has always proven himself to be quite the showman. In addition to the main attraction, with .Paak likely to pop in to make the Silk Sonic duo complete, the 40-show trek will also include special performances from Victoria Monét, Raye, and Leon Thomas at select dates, making this a must-see show for true yearners. —Elise Brisco

Bad Bunny,  Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour

Bad Bunny already kicked off his Debí Tirar Más Fotos world tour back in November with stops in Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, including a buzzy five-night stint in Mexico City featuring surprise guests like J Balvin and Feid. But in 2026, Benito is bringing his all-encompassing, deeply Puerto Rican album to the rest of the world. The tour picks back up in Chile this month — and the timing couldn’t be better. As he traverses the globe, Bad Bunny will make stops at both the 2026 Grammys, where he is up for six awards, and headline the Super Bowl halftime show. 2025 was undoubtedly Bad Bunny’s year, and by the looks of it, 2026 will follow suit. —M.G.

Zach Bryan, With Heaven Tour

Zach Bryan has been a stadium-level headliner for several years now, culminating in his 2025 record-breaking show in Michigan. So what makes his summer 2026 run so compelling has less to do with Bryan and more to do with the scope — and level of popularity— of his opening acts. Kings of Leon, Alabama Shakes, Dijon, and MJ Lenderman are just four of the many names gracing Bryan’s stage in 2026 (not to mention massively popular singer-songwriters like Gregory Alan Isakov and Ben Howard). These are artists who themselves have been (or will one day become) arena headliners, representing both the past and future mainstream across several genres, from Dijon’s glitchy R&B-pop to MJ Lenderman’s slacker southern indie rock. That all of them are spending their summers opening for someone else is testament to Bryan’s extraordinary popularity. —Jonathan Bernstein

My Chemical Romance, Long Live the Black Parade World Tour

Come one, come all. My Chemical Romance are taking their stellar stadium show around the world this year as they continue to celebrate their 2006 emo classic The Black Parade. Last summer, My Chem flexed their rock god muscles when they sold out New Jersey’s MetLife, their hometown stadium, with the unique spectacle that was the Long Live the Black Parade Tour. Now, the rockers will hit iconic global venues, including three nights at Wembley Stadium. They’ll also be joined by an exciting rotation of special guests like Franz Ferdinand, Pierce the Veil, Modest Mouse, Iggy Pop, Sleater-Kinney, the Breeders, Babymetal, Jimmy Eat World, and the Mars Volta for select dates on the North American leg. —M.G.

Al Jardine and the Pet Sounds Band, 2026 Tour

The death of Brian Wilson in 2025 meant that only two founding members of the Beach Boys remain: Mike Love and Al Jardine. Love has the legal right to tour under the Beach Boys name and plays a set centered on the band’s biggest hits from the Sixties. Jardine, meanwhile, has teamed up with veteran members of Brian Wilson’s touring band for a more adventurous show that includes a near-complete performance of the oddball 1977 Beach Boys LP The Beach Boys Love You. For hardcore fans, it’s a dream come true. And even if you’ve never heard of deep cuts like “Ding Dang” or “Johnny Carson,” he still plays “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” and all the other standards. —A.G.

2026 might just be the year Zara Larsson gets all her flowers. Last year, the singer had a viral dance moment for her 2017 Clean Bandit collab “Symphony” and followed the buzz with her fifth album, Midnight Sun. Larsson kept the momentum going with full-throttle performances as the opening act for Tate McRae’s Miss Possessive tour. Now, the Swedish pop star is returning to the U.S. for her own headlining run — and if Larsson’s opening set was any indication, the Midnight Sun tour is shaping up to be a pop-perfect spectacle. —Tomas Mier

Lily Allen, West End Girl Tour

Lily Allen’s rollout of West End Girl has been a masterclass in diabolical wit, from the visualizers for each album track to her SNL performance, complete with some familiar-looking wallpaper. The album itself is ripe with stark details of heartbreak and its aftermath — and we expect Allen’s tour to be just as gloriously unabashed and illuminating. After all, it is the biggest U.S. headlining tour of her 20-year career. —Charisma Madarang

Foo Fighters, Take Cover Tour

Life threw Foo Fighters fans a curveball just after New Year’s, when the band announced that longtime rhythm guitarist and all-around awesome dude Pat Smear will have to miss several dates on their 2026 stadium tour due to “smashing the shit out of his left foot.” (Ouch.) Otherwise, this tour — their first with new drummer Ilan Rubin, formerly of Nine Inch Nails — is rolling on as planned, with dates at North American ballparks and football fields starting in August. Make sure to get to your seats early enough to catch the killer opening acts, who include Mannequin Pussy and Queens of the Stone Age. —S.V.L.

MJ Lenderman and Waxahatchee, 2026 Tour

Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman are two of the most exciting voices in indie rock and alt-country right now, both together and in their own right. They’ve collaborated on Waxahatchee’s superb 2024 album Tigers Blood (particularly the ultra-chill longtime love song “Right Back to It”), and on the recent Snocaps record (Katie Crutchfield’s project with her twin sister, Allison). Lenderman has been touring for the last two years in support of his solo breakout Manning Fireworks, while Crutchfield is consistently on the road (just like her hero, Lucinda Williams), so it was only a matter of time before these two linked up. The co-headlining dates kick off in Atlanta in the spring, hitting major cities. It’s bound to be a good time. —A.M.

PinkPantheress, PinkPantheressTour

Break out your best tartan tunic: An Evening with PinkPantheress is returning stateside this spring. The U.K. star’s mixtape Fancy That made a big splash last year, and its accompanying tour was a vision in rouge, featuring unexpected guests and, of course, PinkPantheress’ best bangers. After wrapping up her victory lap with the remix album Fancy Some More?, this next leg of shows is ripe for onstage cameos: We’re holding out hope that French singer Oklou joins her in Brooklyn for her lowkey rework of “Girl Like Me.”  —Jaeden Pinder

Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks, 2026 Tour

By some miracle of God, Jon Anderson’s soaring alto-tenor voice is still almost entirely intact even though he’s 81 and songs like “Heart of the Sunrise” would be trying for a man in his thirties. The founding Yes vocalist is putting those pipes to good use with his new backing group, the Band Geeks. They’re session dudes capable of recreating every tiny nuance on Seventies Yes classics, and they’ve even cut an album of new tunes with him. To be clear, the Steve Howe incarnation of Yes is always worth seeing every time they come around. But if you want to hear the music delivered by the original singer, this is the show to see. —A.G.

Raye, This Tour May Contain New Music

There’s something about watching someone step onto a stage barefoot in a glamorous, floor-length gown and grab a wired microphone with a mile-long cord that is the purest indicator that you’re about to have a hell of a time — and hear some absolutely striking vocals. That is the experience Raye brings to every show she performs. This year, she’ll launch the biggest run of her career with what she’s cheekily calling This Tour May Contain New Music. The British songstress has an affinity for big band music and grand dramatic displays both onstage and in the studio, as evidenced by “Where Is My Husband?” and “Genesis.” A master entertainer and a true musician, Raye knows how to put on a show. Plus, the run will be a family affair — her sisters Absolutely and Amma will open for her each night. —L.P.

Brittney Parks, the Cincinnati singer and self-taught violinist better known as Sudan Archives, constructed her third record, The BPM, with her Midwest roots in mind. Inspired by Detroit techno and Chicago house, she sought salvation on the dance floor; so expect her already fiery concerts, where she punctuates her fiddle solos with angelic vocals, to be even more jubilant. Sudan Archives hits the road this January, making stops in New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and more.  —J.P.

5 Seconds of Summer, Everyone’s a Star Tour

5 Seconds of Summer last hit the road in 2023 with The 5 Seconds of Summer Show, a high-production celebration of their tenth anniversary. The live show revived deep cuts and fan-favorite singles in a nostalgic display of legacy and longevity. Where that show looked to celebrate the past, the band’s upcoming tour in support of their latest album, Everyone’s a Star, will look to the future of 5SOS. The stage is always where their songs have come to life with an electric pop-rock charge. This record in particular feels tailor-made for it — especially “The Rocks” and “Telephone Busy” — and it comes with a whole new aesthetic for them to explore, too. —L.P.
