Get tickets to see the 100 biggest concert tours of 2026

We’re going to start this article by posing a question.

How many live events did you go to in 2025?

A handful? A bunch? Too many? Did you cross getting to see Paul McCartney or Oasis off your bucket list? Were you in attendance when Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Zach Bryan or Sabrina Carpenter came to a venue near you?

Was that you on the Coldplay kiss cam?

If you were fortunate enough — or unfortunate if that really was you on the kiss cam — to witness live music in 2025, we applaud you. There’s nothing better. Even when catching a concert live is expensive, the juice is always worth the proverbial squeeze.

However, in the event you weren’t lucky enough to be singing along with your favorite artists IRL last year, you can easily fix that in 2026.

Many of the biggest names in pop, Hip-Hop, rock, country, R&B, EDM, blues and metal are taking their talents on the road this year.

Just a few of the biggest biggies include country royalty Dolly Parton, “Wicked” pop princess Ariana Grande, Canadian Rock Hall of Fame inductees RUSH, avant-garde hitmaker Lady Gaga, emo heroes My Chemical Romance, and so many more.

Actually, 95 (!) more to be exact.

Our team scoured the web, left no stone unturned and found the 100 biggest artists across 17 genres who have announced they’re going on tour next year as well as a few Las Vegas residencies.

See you at a show…or three.
