Post Malone and Rae Sremmurd are both well worth watching live in concert. While the North America leg of the tour is complete, they're still performing a ton of shows in Europe. If you're feeling in the mood for a European excursion with some top-tier music, this tour is a safe bet.

Whenever Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa link up, they do something special, and their 2023 tour is no exception. If you find yourself in proximity to any of their tour dates (and have a particular liking for cannabis), then this is right up your alley.
9. Wu-Tang Clan and Nas - NY State of Mind Tour 2023

What's better than one legendary New York hip-hop act on tour? Two legendary hip-hop acts on tour. Such is the case for the Wu-Tang Clan and Nas' collaborative 2023 tour. If either one of them were doing a solo tour, it'd be well worth a ticket purchase, but together it's impossible to resist.
8. Taylor Swift - The Eras Tour

Taylor Swift has one of the most dedicated fanbases in the world, and it really shows whenever she goes on tour.

Whether you're a Taylor stan or not, you'll want to witness history when she's in a city near you.
