Get ready because 2025 is another year packed with memorable live concerts and tours from some of your favorite musical artists.

Whether you prefer pop, rock, country or rap, artists from all genres are hitting the road in the new year, including Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and SZA, Sabrina Carpenter, Usher, Ed Sheeran, Zayn Malik, Coldplay, Katy Perry, Shakira, Billy Joel and Gracie Abrams, among others.

However, there will be some noticeably missing faces from the stage in 2025, such as Taylor Swift, who wrapped her record-breaking Eras Tour in December after nearly two years on the road, performing for 152 sold-out shows in 22 countries. Other artists who shinned on the stage in 2024 for their respective tours were Bad Bunny, Olivia Rodrigo, Drake, Noah Kahan and more.

Those are just a few of the iconic artists who brought millions of fans together in 2024 for great vibes, memories and music. Concert tours serve not only as an opportunity for artists to promote their latest albums or highlight their entire music catalogs, but it’s also a time for their fans to celebrate their favorite performers all together under the same roof.

But no need to fret because there are plenty more opportunities to experience live music in the new year. So as you’re planning out your busy year ahead filled with new adventures, The Hollywood Reporter has compiled a list of some of the most anticipated concert tours happening in 2025, below.
