We don’t want to hear the age-old complaint “no one good is touring” in 2025.
Throwback icons, up-and-coming stars and household names at the height of their artistic powers are all making the rounds this year.
And, after scraping the web, our team whittled our list down to the 95 most exciting acts â€?nbsp;like legacy classic rockers and , omnipresent pop stars and , heavy metal icons and , honky tonk heroes and , and Pulitzer Prize-wining Hip-Hop stadium headliner (he’s a one-of-a-kind) â€?nbsp;that might be coming to a venue near you over the next 12 months.
Some of the artists on our expansive list have been on the road since the ’60s; others were born in the aughts. No matter your age or favorite genre, we have a feeling one or three acts will resonate with you.
Personally, we’re most excited to see , , , and but that’s just us.
So, come on a journey with us to popular music’s past and future.
