The post The 60 Most Anticipated Tours of 2024 appeared first on Consequence.
A new year means new tours, along with some notable ongoing treks. When it comes to anticipated tours here in 2024, Taylor Swift certainly isn’t the only superstar who will be on the road, as Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, and Foo Fighters can all be found on outings of their own.
Keep an eye out for some particularly stacked joint outings, like Joel roaming with Sting and Stevie Nicks; Earth, Wind & Fire journeying with Chicago; or the team-up of Latin icons Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull, and Ricky Martin. Drake is linking with J. Cole for a blockbuster hip-hop trek, Chris Stapleton has a rotating cast of incredible special guests (including Willie Nelson and George Strait), while Mannequin Pussy will be bringing Soul Glo along for the ride.
There’s so much to be excited about across the musical landscape, so to help you find exactly what you’re looking for, we decided to break down our tours by genre. Ahead, find all the details on the live events we are most excited to catch, from pop legends to Americana iconoclasts, hip-hop luminaries to indie favorites and unforgettable rock stars.

Classic Rock Tours

Billy Joel
Billy Joel will conclude his record-setting Madison Square Garden residency with his 150th show at the venue on July 25th. But that won’t be your last chance to see The Piano Man live, as he has a handful of non-New York concerts scheduled around his final six MSG performances, including shows with Sting and Stevie Nicks (who has some upcoming dates of her own). — Ben Kaye
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s 2023 tour was one of the year’s best live shows — but it was cut short as The Boss dealt with peptic ulcer disease. Thankfully, he’s expecting to make a quick recovery, with rescheduled US dates already mapped out for much of 2024. There’s also a summer European trek, tickets for which can be found here. — B. Kaye

Def Leppard and Journey
Def Leppard and Journey are striking out on a 23-city co-headlining tour this summer, and those two names alone would be worth the price of admission. But it gets even better for fans of classic rock bands: Cheap Trick, Steve Miller Band, and Heart will all open select shows. Don’t stop the hysteria! — B. Kaye
Eagles
Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit, along with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, are coming in for a final landing. Eagles’ “The Long Goodbye” farewell tour has exactly 21 dates left on its itinerary, and while there’s every chance they’ll extend the trek once again (it is a long goodbye, after all), do you really want to take that chance? — B. Kaye
Earth, Wind & Fire and Chicago
Soul, funk, rock ‘n’ roll — nothing makes for a better summer concert experience. Thankfully, the iconic Earth, Wind & Fire and the legendary Chicago are bringing it all on the road for another leg of their “Heart & Soul 2024 Tour.” There are currently 30 dates on the co-headlining jaunt, with each one expected to end with an all-hands-on-deck encore that’s not to be missed. — B. Kaye
Echo & The Bunnymen
Echo & The Bunnymen are bringing their very best to their upcoming concerts — at least if the tour title “Songs to Learn and Sing 2024: The Very Best of Echo & The Bunnymen” is to be believed. After a big run of UK and EU dates (get tickets here), the Liverpool rockers will play a spring North American leg in May and June. — B. Kaye

Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top
Classic rock can be blues rock too, and blues doesn’t get any more classic than Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top. The hirsute icons are relaunching their “The Sharp Dressed Simple Man” tour for 2024 with both spring (March-April) and summer (August-September) legs. Black Stone Cherry join in on the former, with The Outlaws along for the latter. — B. Kaye

Peter Hook & The Light
In what could be the greatest hits tour to top all greatest hits tours, Peter Hook & The Light are playing the Substance collections of both Joy Division and New Order on their summer North American tour. They’ll then bring the sure-to-be amazing set to the UK and EU in the fall, with tickets for those shows available here. — B. Kaye

Stevie Nicks
Told ya we’d be back with more Stevie. In addition to her aforementioned dates with Billy Joel, Stevie Nicks has a handful of solo gigs set for February and March — plus a headlining spot at BottleRock Napa. Fleetwood Mac may never tour again, but Nicks’ live show has proven to be even more than “the next best thing” — it’s an unmissable classic. — B. Kaye
The Rolling Stones
Even if The Rolling Stones hadn’t released some incredible new music last year, we’d still be pumped for their upcoming run of North American tour dates. The fact that we’ll probably hear at least “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” just makes it that much more exciting. Yes, we’re excited to see The Rolling Stones play new music in 2024. What a world. — B. Kaye

Hip-Hop and R&B Tours

Bad Bunny
47 concerts, 31 cities, only one Benito. Bad Bunny’s “Most Wanted Tour” kicks off in February and comes in support of his latest excellent album, Nadie Sabe lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. The Puerto Rican superstar has already conquered the streaming platforms many times over, and his “Most Wanted Tour” seems certain to live up to its name. — Wren Graves
Burna Boy
The “African Giant” has been global for a few projects now, with his latest, I Told Them…, featuring talent like J. Cole, GZA, and RZA to further charm US audiences. He’ll have a chance to do it in person on the “I Told Them… Tour,” which kicked off last November and will pick back up again in February. — W. Graves
Danny Brown
Brown has always been exciting. But for this upcoming jaunt, he’s sober and coming off one of the most electrifying years of his career, bookended by the deeply personal Quaranta and the JPEGMAFIA collab SCARING THE HOES. He’s fully in control and at the height of his powers, and even if you’ve seen him before, you haven’t seen him like this. — W. Graves
DJ Shadow
Twenty-eight years after the sampling pioneer gave us Endtroducing….. DJ Shadow continues to drop music full of surprises. His 2023 album Action Adventure saw him let go off vocal-assisted singles, as he shared, “I needed to get personal and make music for myself again.” It’s personal enough to share; this’ll be his first extensive tour since 2017. — W. Graves
Drake and J. Cole
Two of the biggest names in hip-hop have surprisingly different fanbases. That’ll be great for the ticket sales, but if you see them on their co-headlining tour at a venue with an open floor, don’t be surprised if the Cole fans swarm the pit two hours before showtime and then leave during intermission. — W. Graves

Nicki Minaj
Every day is Friday on Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2 World Tour.” Her Pinkness’ latest album must be one of the most expensive hip-hop albums in history, judging from the samples, but that means even if you haven’t heard Pink Friday 2 you’ll recognize almost every song. — W. Graves
Sampha
Sampha has written for Solange, Kanye, and Florence + the Machine while elevating tracks by Drake, Travis Scott, Kendrick, and so many more. But as his sophomore album, Lahai, proved, he’s more than ready to own the spotlight. This spring tour is your chance to cut out the middlemen and enjoy his genius up close. — W. Graves
Tkay Maidza
The 2023 breakup album Sweet Justice was an irresistible mix of happiness and bitter revenge. and now the “WUACV” rapper is ready to wake up and choose violence in cities across North America. Maidza’s tour kicks off in Seattle in February and finds her doing a big loop up through Canada and down through the states before curving back West and wrapping in Los Angeles. — W. Graves
Tyla
First time seeing this name? It won’t be the last; in the lead-up to her March self-titled debut, the South African singer forgot to emerge and went from almost entirely unknown straight to globe-conquering megastar. We’re already sick with jealousy of everyone who got to hear “Water” live before us. — W. Graves
Wu-Tang Clan
The residency is only four shows, which means it might be over by the time you read the title: “Wu-Tang Clan: The Saga Continues… The Las Vegas Residency.” RZA hasn’t specified which members will participate, but honestly, does it matter? Every time they get together it’s a messy yet glorious celebration of hip-hop. — W. Graves
Pop Tours

AJR
A massive arena tour is on the 2024 horizon for AJR, who will be hitting the road for 43 dates on “The Maybe Man Tour.” It comes in support of their recent album of the same name, with things set to kick off in Norfolk, Virginia this spring. — M. Siroky
Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull, and Ricky Martin
Don’t miss “The Trilogy Tour,” which marks the first time these three icons of Latin music have toured together.

New dates include stops in Denver, Austin, Toronto, Nashville, Atlanta, and more. — M. Siroky
Madison Beer
Shortly after the release of her 2023 album, Silence Between Songs, singer-songwriter Madison Beer announced dates for “The Spinnin Tour.” The 52-city outing begins in Europe before touching down in North America in April, starting in Minneapolis. In the meantime, revisit our interview where she breaks down her sophomore album. — M. Siroky
Madonna
The career-spanning tour from Madonna is officially underway, with “The Celebration Tour” serving as her own twist on an “Eras” setlist. The superstar will be spending the next few months working her way across North America on the largest stages for any Madonna tour to date. — M. Siroky
Melanie Martinez
Everyone’s favorite “Cry Baby” is back on the road for the “PORTALS Tour,” a journey across the alt-pop artist’s three studio albums. Following dates in Asia, New Zealand, and Australia, she’ll be touching down in Seattle in February before hitting cities like Las Vegas, Houston, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and more. — M. Siroky

Niall Horan
It’s time to get “The Show” on the road. Niall Horan’s third studio album is the cornerstone of his upcoming tour of the same name, which is scheduled to begin with a European run in February. So far, it’s just the former One Direction member on the bill, with no openers currently announced. — M. Siroky
Olivia Rodrigo
One of the most anticipated shows of 2024, Olivia Rodrigo’s “GUTS World Tour” is a major level-up from her “SOUR” trek. This time, the Grammy-winning artist will be setting out for 75 dates, and she’ll be bringing along names like The Breeders and Remi Wolf for support. — M. Siroky

P!NK
P!NK is known for putting on an extremely memorable show, often including acrobatics and aerial stunts, which makes the name “Summer Carnival Tour” no idle promise. The 17-city stadium tour begins its North American leg in St. Louis, Missouri in August. — M. Siroky
Sarah McLachlan
What’s more appropriate for a 30th anniversary than a 30-date tour? Sarah McLachlan is marking the milestone of her album Fumbling Towards Ecstasy by bringing the celebration to audiences in person with stops in Seattle, Palm Springs, Indianapolis, and many more, with Feist for support. — M. Siroky

Taylor Swift
The era of “The Eras Tour” is far from over, as the ubiquitous Taylor Swift will be continuing the first tour to gross over $1 billion well into 2024, with dates currently stretching all the way to December finale with a three-night run in Vancouver. “The Eras Tour” is a landmark event in the world of live music — revisit Swift’s Artist of the Year accolade from our 2024 Annual Report here. — M. Siroky

Blink-182
In 2023, Blink-182 launched their reunion tour six months before dropping One More Time, their first album with their original lineup in 12 years. Now, they’re extending their tour with another North American leg this summer, and it’s a chance to see the pop-punk legends playing beloved old hits and exciting new entries. — Paolo Ragusa

Foo Fighters
In the midst of releasing Foo Fighters’ excellent 11th album, But Here We Are, Foo Fighters played multiple shows, but never quite completed a full-fledged headlining tour in support of it.

Green Day
After they release their upcoming album Saviors on January 19th, Green Day will embark on “The Saviors Tour,” with their North American run beginning in late August in Toronto. Joining the pop-punk legends are fellow ’90s rock heroes Smashing Pumpkins and Rancid, as well as young punks The Linda Lindas. — P. Ragusa
IDLES
IDLES have been no stranger to touring over the last few years, but their run of dates in support of upcoming album TANGK look to be their biggest shows yet. IDLES’ 2024 trek begins across the pond in late February, and they’ll be heading stateside for a North American run starting in early May. — P. Ragusa
Phish at The Sphere
After U2’s iconic residency at Las Vegas’ brand new venue The Sphere, Phish will be the next group to grace the dome. The jam band will commence their 2024 residency at The Sphere on April 18th.
