When Big Concert Tours 2024?
Today, the globe is gradually getting out of the COVID-19 crisis, and the live music industry is preparing for a critical breakthrough in 2024. Whether it is the rock and pop artists touring the stadiums or the indie artists performing in smaller halls, fans are likely to see a lot of concerts they cannot afford to miss in the next couple of years.
Another exciting tour is that of the Rolling Stones who have suggested that they would undertake one last world tour as the band celebrates its 60th year. If Mick Jagger and Keith Richards remain healthy enough to perform, as expected, fans should prepare for a probable final tour in 2024, where the band will likely perform in all the world’s most significant cities. Their playlists would have hits such as ‘Satisfaction,’ ‘Paint It Black,’ ‘Gimme Shelter,’ and many others from their several years collection.
The next rock group that is on their farewell tour is KISS who were forced to delay their “End of the Road World Tour. ” Since over 100 more shows are remaining in the farewell tour, the face-painted shock rockers intend to wrap up their last ride in mid-2024. As always, a KISS concert performance is full of theatrics, and the band has every intention of marking its last tour with a bang.
Taylor Swift, who was recently busy re-recording her first six albums to reclaim her masters, will also have an eventful 2024. As such, with no commitments in sight, Swift would be able to start a new era as well as a new album cycle, which would most probably be accompanied by a world tour. Thus, fans can agree that Taylor’s next tour would surpass her previous records for the highest-grossing and the most-attended tour by a female performer.
There remains speculation as to whether Rihanna is also preparing to hit the road to promote the release of her highly anticipated ninth album – her first since ‘Anti’ in 2016. As the Barbadian singer usually tours every album era, we can expect one in 2024. This is especially so since she had to cut short her ‘Anti World Tour’ at only two months in 2016 due to some unspecific issues. To make up for the lost performances, she could come back to perform some of the previous hit songs in addition to the new ones.
The Irish rockers U2 also fueled speculation of a follow-up to their 2017 ‘Joshua Tree Tour’ that marked the album’s thirtieth anniversary. If their time allows it the quarter could resume with ‘Joshua Tree Tour 2024’ where they perform full albums with other hits in between. Considering that the band tours relatively sparingly in the modern era, U2 nonetheless continues to attract fans of all ages during their concerts.
On the other hand, all indications are that Beyonce will also be coming back to the stage for a tour of her just-announced new album ‘Renaissance’. She hardly does tours anymore which makes her concerts even more valuable commodities – witness the fact that her 2016 ‘Formation World Tour’ concerts were sold out. It would be her first solo show since her all-encompassing performance at Coachella in 2018. One thing is certain: The looks, feel, sounds and even the twists will be perfect from how the contents are produced to how they are presented.
Another pop star who rose to fame in the late 2010s and is expected to perform live in concert for the first time in 2024 is Billie Eilish. So far she has only toured through a sequence of clubs and theaters. However, she has two more Smash albums with her now at the age of twenty and some of her hit songs, which can easily fill an arena tour. From haunting songs to loud rock hits, supporters are eager to shout the lyrics and embrace the emo atmosphere live.
Other legendary metal bands such as Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, and Iron Maiden are also planning 2024’s world tour as they prepare for the album’s release. Even though the old guard of rock bands may have somewhat softened their voices or physically slowed down, they still claim to put on a spectacular show, power chords, and exuberance well into their third or fourth decade. Both bands’ fanbases are ready to party like it is 1984 all over again.
My Chemical Romance, pioneers of the pop-punk movement of the early 2000s, pulled off a highly anticipated reunion tour in 2022 in support of their highly acclaimed comeback record. Due to the extreme fanaticism their fan base had shown, many called for the band to perform a more extensive do-over tour. Expect MCR to answer those requests with a more extensive global run in 2024 hitting markets they missed. Blink-182 also belongs to the same category as they are set to release an album in 2023 with Tom DeLong, and Mark Hoppus after beating cancer. A tour in 2024 seems a foregone conclusion.
Old-guard rock bands such as Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Who today remain the biggest ticket-selling touring attractions even twenty years later. Despite lineup changes, a change of frontmen, or even where bands take a long time away from making music, they still fill large venues. As retirement tours appear to be on the horizon for these seventy-something musicians, 2024 might be one of the last opportunities for audiences to join in with early pop classics. Billy Joel also fits in that category because somehow he has been going on performing at the Madison Square Gardens every month for five years consecutively and yet selling out.
As much as popular contemporary pop icons such as Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Rihanna gain attention, 2024 should also emphasize the new talents. For breakthrough tours, fans can look forward to debut live performances from hip-hop/country hybrid artist Lil Nas X, Japanese rock band CHAI, Spanish superstar Rosalia, viral rapper Doja Cat, experimental pop artist St Vincent, and indie-pop singer Clairo among others.
Finally, people should also expect giant-scale festivals such as Coachella 2024, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Glastonbury, Primavera Sound, Firefly Music Festival, Governor’s Ball, and others after the four-year-long break since the previous massive festival season. Lineups have become more diverse and liberal in the last ten years as traditional hard rock and metal bands tour with rappers, DJs, DJs, indie bands, and newcomers. Of course, if the health conditions allow, then one can anticipate record attendance.
Of course, uncertainty remains high as COVID variants, monkeypox, or even economic downturns can affect demand for concerts yet, steady comeback tours from Elton John, The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Harry Styles, Lady Gaga, and Genesis all suggest fans still crave live performances. If you combine four years of expectation, then 2024 may well see the single greatest return of concert touring in history.
