Taylor Swift
The hottest concert ticket of 2023—subject of the biggest concert film of all time—continues its reign throughout 2024: Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is crisscrossing the globe. After spending February in Japan and Australia, and March in Singapore, the pop star headed to Europe in May for a four-month stint with supporting act Paramore. Beginning in October, Swift returns home to the United States before playing the Eras Tours’ first, and final, Canadian shows in November and December.

Thom Yorke
After recently doing the rounds with the Smile, Thom Yorke is setting out on his own for a series of shows in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, and Japan. If you would like to know almost nothing about what those shows will entail, look no further than his accompanying statement: “I will be alone on stage,” Yorke said, “trying a new kind of solo show thing playing versions of the songs I have written from my recent and not so recent past.”

Tomb Mold / Horrendous
Toronto’s sci-fi obsessed trio Tomb Mold and Philadelphia death metal quartet Horrendous both dropped pummeling albums in 2023—the former shared The Enduring Spirit, the latter released Ontological Mysterium—that should sound twice as loud live as they do on record. Luckily, they’re joining forces for a run of shows. Dubbed the Enraptured by Fate’s Tangled Thread Tour, it’s currently underway and lasts through the end of the month, concluding in Brooklyn on July 27. According to Horrendous, it’s been a long time coming—six years, to be exact. Ever since they played a weekend-long stint of live shows with Tomb Mold in 2018, they’ve been trying to scheme how to organize a proper tour together. At long last, it’s finally here.

Usher
After a successful two-year residency in Las Vegas, Usher gears up for a nationwide tour, celebrating his 30-year career. The Past Present Future Tour begins in August in Washington, D.C., spanning cities including Dallas, Atlanta, and Vancouver. Fans can anticipate a tour through Usher’s discography, mixed with tracks from his latest album, Coming Home.

Vince Staples
Back in May, Vince Staples rolled out Dark Times, his first new album since 2022’s Ramona Park Broke My Heart. Since then, the Long Beach rapper has been busy with his Netflix series The Vince Staples Show, getting that renewed for another season, and plotting a headlining tour. Taking place this fall, the Black in America Tour will bring Staples across North America with special guest Baby Rose in tow. Before that, though, Staples will play a handful of shows in Europe as well as a festival date at Chicago’s Lollapalooza in August.

Waxahatchee
Katie Crutchfield is hitting the road behind her latest Waxahatchee LP, Tigers Blood. Her current live band features MJ Lenderman and Spencer Tweedy, both of whom played on the album (Lenderman also opened for Waxahatchee during her 2022 trek). The North American tour wraps in September, and includes a rotating support schedule from Tim Heidecker, Snail Mail, Greg Mendez, Gladie, Good Morning, and Tré Burt on select dates.
