Written by AnnMary Mailyan. Published: December 16 2022

 

It’s not the most pleasant thing to think about life after Holidays. Who would want to go back to the same dull routine, once all these festivities end? But don’t worry, there is at least one light at the end of the tunnel, and we know you’re going to love it: we’re talking about all the best and most anticipated tours that are going to take place in 2023! So, start saving some money to see your favorite artists perform and make the best memories of the upcoming year!

 

1. Janet Jackson

Miss Jackson is ready to hit the road for the 9th time next year! After a long hiatus in her musical career, Janet announced her new tour called Together Again. This one is going to be special, not only because fans have missed their favorite singer, but also because Janet will be celebrating her 50th anniversary in entertainment, which is insane! Jackson will be kicking off in Hollywood on April 14 and wrapping up in Seattle on June 21. 

 

2. Sabrina Carpenter

If you didn’t manage to attend Sabrina’s concerts in Fall 2022, we’ve got some exciting news, as the gorgeous singer is extending her Emails I Can’t Send Tour! Now you have the chance to hear your favorite songs from March 16 to May 20. Make sure to purchase the tickets soon, otherwise you’re going to face yet another total sold-out show. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

 

3. Joshua Bassett

After surprising fans with four tracks back in October, the "High School Musical: The Musical - The Series" star just announced some more amazing news: he’s going to have a tour in North America and Europe! The North American leg kicks off on March 7 in San Francisco, and the European leg starts on April 28 in Hamburg and wraps up on May 9 in London. If you happened to have purchased tickets to Bassett’s 2022 canceled shows, make sure to check your emails, as you’re going to get exclusive presale access to purchase the tickets. 

 

4. Taylor Swift

When Taylor dropped her recent album Midnights (which was just perfect!), fans already suspected a new tour was coming up very soon, and they were right! The Eras Tour starts on March 17 in Glendale and ends on August 9 in Los Angeles. The international dates of the tour are yet to be announced, so if you live in Europe or Asia, be sure to check the news, as Taylor’s tickers get sold out very, very quickly!

 

5. Arctic Monkeys

For our rock genre fans, we have great news as well, as Arctic Monkeys are touring the whole year. First, they’ll be kicking off in European and Asian countries, and their North American leg starts from August 25 until October 1. Are you ready to rock?

 

6. Ed Sheeran

We know you were jealous of all the other continents who got to see Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour ever since April 2022. But don’t you worry anymore, as our favorite ginger singer is finally coming to North America to perform his best hits! The North American leg starts on May 6 in Texas and wraps up on September 23 in California. The tour is bound to be one of the biggest in 2023! 

 

7. P!nk

One of true legends from the past two decades doesn’t stop surprising us with amazing songs and great vocals. If you have been dreaming about seeing your childhood celebrity crush perform, this is your chance! Her 8th tour, called Summer Carnival, will be international and will go on from June 7 until October 9.

 

8. Elton John

As you can guess by the title, Elton John’s Farewell Tour is his last one. It began way back in September 2018 and is supposed to consist of 300 worldwide concerts, which is absolutely insane! The tour will finally end on July 8, so this is literally your last chance to see the incredible Elton John performing live! 

 

9. Adele

If you are a big Adele fan living in Las Vegas (or somewhere nearby), then fortune smiles on you, as the beautiful and talented British singer is going to have a 4-month residency at The Colosseum At Caesars Palace! Her first concert kicks off today (December 16) and the last one will be on March 25. Las Vegas, we are very jealous! 

 

10. Sting

After canceling some of his concerts in 2022, the legendary Sting is ready to hit the road again! His new international tour will start on January 27 in Abu Dhabi and end on December 4 in Cologne. Are you ready to sing along to your favorite old hits as well as newer songs?

 

11. SZA

SZA just announced her first ever arena tour, how cool is that? The debut tour, called S.O.S (which is also the name of her sophomore album), kicks off in Columbus on February 21 and wraps in Los Angeles on March 22. Throughout this month, the incredible singer is going to perform in 17 cities in North America, so you’ll definitely get a chance to see her! And there’s another surprise for you: the special guest of the tour will be Grammy-nominated best new artist Omar Apollo

 

12. Nessa Barrett

It’s always so sweet witnessing a new rising star’s great accomplishment in their career, isn’t it? It’s time for Nessa Barrett to shine, as she’s heading for her first headlining tour through North America! The tour is called Young Forever in support of her debut album of the same name, which was released in October 2022. Nessa’s going to perform from February 23 until March 21 in 15 different cities! 

 

13. Justin Bieber

Bieber’s Justice World Tour seems to have been cursed, as it kept getting postponed, first due to COVID-19 and its restrictions, then because of Justin’s personal health problems. Now, the tour is scheduled to take place in 2023, but the dates are yet to be announced, so stay tuned not to miss the opportunity to listen to some great songs live! 

 

14. Lizzo

Lizzo kicked off her much-anticipated Special Tour back in September and it is scheduled to pick back up in February in Norway. She'll hit several other European countries before returning to North America and then concluding in Poland in July. Seeing Lizzo live is a truly incredible experience so try not to miss this one!

 

Who are you most excited to see?!
