Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour was a shining star-sized revelation in the world of live music. Beginning in Arizona in March 2023 and ending with a stop in Vancouver in December of last year, The Eras Tour had significant cultural and socioeconomic impacts as it crossed 149 shows in 51 cities across the span of five continents.

It served not only as a continuing reminder of Swift’s enduring popularity as an entertainer and musician but also showed how her ardent fanbase could take the existing concert culture we already knew and charge it up to mountainous new heights.

So what’s next for our present day when it comes to onstage shows? With Swift having now turned the lights off on Eras with no immediate plans for a followup, who will take over the arena-sized spotlight in 2025’s tour economy? As the year moves forward and summer approaches with new opportunities, there are several acts and solo artists that may just be up to the task of taking on the Swiftie torch.

Get your tickets early.

10Beyoncé

Cowboy Carter Tour

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour, also known as the Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour, will see Queen Bey taking her Grammy Award-winning country crossover album Cowboy Carter on the road for her 10th overall concert tour and the fifth to be held entirely at stadiums across the United States and overseas. Her fanbase, the Beyhive, is sure to be out in force for the 30 appearances, which include stops in Inglewood, California; London, England; and Atlanta, Georgia.

Beyoncé’s 2025 Grammy Album of The Year win for her first country album, Cowboy Carter, was historic for the 35-time Grammy Award winner.

The tour begins in late April and will wrap up in mid-July, so opportunities to see Beyoncé do what she does best will be limited.

9Billie Eilish

Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour

American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish continues the tour push behind her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which was released in April of last year. Eilish began live dates for the LP starting last September in Quebec City, with consistent plans to continue the run until late July before wrapping up the run in Ireland. With opening acts including Eilish’s brother Finneas and Ashnikko, Eilish will also be seen in overseas locations through 2025, like Stockholm, Sweden on April 23 and 24, Berlin, Germany on May 9, and two nights in Paris, France (June 10 and 11).

8Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

2023 to 2025 Tour

Despite being 75 years old, legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen is showing no signs of slowing down as his tour with his famed E Street Band will continue later this year in Europe. Beginning in February 2023 in Tampa, Florida, there have been band absences due to illness, dates being postponed because of Springsteen’s battles with peptic ulcer disease and vocal issues, and backlash over high ticket prices. But despite all this, as Springsteen has continuously shown, the show must go on, and he’s shown no indication he’s interested in entering a farewell stage.

Catch The Boss and his iconic crew for dates including Manchester, England, May 14, 17, and 20; Prague, Czech Republic, June 15; and Milan, Italy, June 30 and July 3. Don’t miss out: Springsteen and 82-year-old Paul McCartney are the oldest acts still cranking out extensive setlists challenging the energy of groups half their age.

7Charli XCX

Brat 2025 Arena Tour

Pop music songstress Charli XCX continues her fourth solo concert tour this year as she keeps up the support for her wildly successful sixth studio album, Brat. The record was the highest-charting album of her career on the Billboard 200, with Brat becoming one of the biggest pop culture moments of 2024. The Brat Tour got underway in support of this momentum in Manchester, England, back in November, with plans to continue the trek until August with stops in Mexico City, Mexico on April 5, Austin, Texas on April 22 and 23, and Paris, France on June 7.

6Kendrick Lamar & SZA

Grand National Tour

Beginning in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on April 19, rapper Kendrick Lamar takes to the road for a string of 39 concert dates across North America and Europe to support his sixth album GNX. The Grand National Tour will find Lamar co-headlining with singer and frequent collaborator SZA and will include stops in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May 5, Chicago, Illinois on June 6, and Birmingham, England on July 10. The pair are former labelmates of Top Dawg Entertainment and previously toured together with other TDE artists during 2018’s Championship Tour.

Luther by Kendrick Lamar featuring SZA has proven to be one of the breakout hit records from his GNX album – but why does he never mention Vandross?

If February’s Super Bowl halftime show was any indication, Lamar and SZA will be a hot ticket that’s not to be missed.

5Oasis

Oasis Live ’25

One of the most highly anticipated concert tours of 2025 (especially for fans of the Brit-Rock persuasion) is the Oasis reunion. Helmed by the long-contentious Gallagher brothers Noel and Liam, Oasis hasn’t made a live appearance since 2009 due to the siblings and their storied inability to get along.

However, last August, just before the 30th anniversary of their debut album Definitely Maybe, hatchets were (allegedly) buried as 41 shows in Europe, Asia, and the United States are set to be played as part of Oasis Live ’25.

Is this a tour guaranteed to take place? Like fans of British singer Morrissey, only time will tell. Try to potentially catch Oasis on dates like Cardiff, Wales, July 4 and 5, Chicago, Illinois, August 28, and Goyang, South Korea, October 21.

4Sabrina Carpenter

Short n’ Sweet Tour

Singer Sabrina Carpenter is keeping up a busy schedule this year as her fifth concert tour and first arena tour continue in support of her highly successful 2024 album Short n’ Sweet.The record dropped back in August and found Carpenter hitting the road quickly to back it in September. As 2025 continues, the pop chart darling will swing through both Europe and North America, with dates in Stockholm, Sweden, April 3 and 4, London, England, July 5 and 6, as well as five nights in New York City.

Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour will wrap up in November with six shows in Los Angeles.

3Post Malone

BIG A** Stadium Tour

Musician Post Malone continues the country music arc he started in 2024 with the release of his Grammy-nominated LP, F-1 Trillion, by hitting the road for the BIG A** Stadium Tour, starting up the raucous party April 29 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Backed by support from fellow country artists Jelly Roll and Sierra Ferrell, Posty will also go and appear in St. Louis, Missouri, May 13, New York City, June 4, Miami, Florida, June 8, and a wrap-up in San Francisco, California, July 1.

Malone will additionally hit the festival circuit during the year, taking on the famed Coachella stage April 11 to 13 and Morgan Wallen’s inaugural Sand In My Boots Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, May 16 to 18.

2The Weeknd

After Hours ‘Til Dawn Stadium Tour

Canadian singer-songwriter and actor Abel Tesfaye, also known as The Weeknd, will embark on his 2025 tour beginning May 9 in Glendale, California, to back the January release of his latest album Hurry Up Tomorrow.

The After Hours ‘Til Dawn Stadium Tour is Tesfaye’s ongoing seventh concert tour that also supported his previous records, 2022’s Dawn FM and 2020’s After Hours. It’s fitting that After Hours ‘Til Dawn will continue for Hurry Up Tomorrow, as this will conclude a trilogy of albums that are expected to be Tesfaye’s last under The Weeknd moniker.

The Weeknd emotionally reflects on the backlash to his collaboration with Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, which became critically panned…

The Weeknd’s After Hours ‘Til Dawn Stadium Tour will stretch out between the United States and Canada, with upcoming dates in Denver, Colorado, June 21, Edmonton, Canada, July 19, and Nashville, Tennessee, August 12. The tour will inevitably conclude in San Antonio, Texas, on September 3.

1Tyler, The Creator

Chromakopia: The World Tour

Rapper Tyler, the Creator, will be on the road this year to back his seventh studio album (2024’s Chromakopia) with Chromakopia: The World Tour featuring special guests Lil Yachty and Paris Texas. Tyler will be both stateside and overseas, with dates in Cincinnati, Ohio, June 27, Boston, Massachusetts, July 8, Baltimore, Maryland, July 11, and Oslo, Norway, July 6. Chromakopia: The World Tour will come to a close in Montreal, Quebec, at the beginning of August.
