The only thing that could rival stargazing with your Valentine is our soundcheck recap! From belting ‘I Will’ with the other Beatles-stripped legends, we’ll forever adore Paul McCartney, to charming country queen Dolly Parton into gifting us the only bow we need, Sabrina Carpenter’s got us swooning. There’s a live experience for everyone this week, and it’s one you won’t want to miss!
Halsey (Hope Tala And More…)
With their Room 93-era curls piled high, Halsey isn’t throwing a funeral (thank god!), but it’s definitely still a party. Yep, those North American dates have officially dropped, and as for the guest list? It’s you, us, and a stacked lineup, including the ever-smooth Hope Tala. She’ll be setting the vibe in Charlotte, NC; Raleigh, NC; Bristow, VA; Wantagh, NY; Bangor, ME; Camden, NJ; and Uncasville, CT. If her name rings a bell, you might just be a One Directioner—Hope recently opened for Zayn on his Stairway to the Sky Tour. Now, if you want to RSVP and claim your goody bag (because with a tour poster that chic, the merch is bound to be flex-worthy), mark your calendar: general sale kicks off February 21st.

Mariah Carey
Do you know who never lets us down? Mariah Carey. Back in the dark days of the pandemic, she promised to dazzle us with a (non-Christmas) rainbow moment at Brighton & Hove’s Pride On The Park. Well, darlings, she’s making good on that promise—and serving something even more legendary. This marks her first full show in six years! The glitter, the vocals, the camp—it’s all happening. Snatch your pre-sale tickets here before the lambs beat you to it!

The Lumineers
Nothing caps off an album release quite like a tour announcement. And in this case, our excitement is Automatic—yes, that’s a nod to The Lumineers’ new album, which means you already know who’s packing their bags for the road. The band is set to sweep across North America, lighting up venues that range from sprawling stadiums to open-air amphitheaters—and every rock-and-roll haven in between. And just when you thought it couldn’t get better, the opening act lineup reads like a festival wish list: Young the Giant, St. Vincent, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Lake Street Dive, Vance Joy, The Backseat Lovers, Dr. Dog, Hippo Campus, Tom Odell, and Chance Peña. It’s time to start mapping out your tour stops. For the full scoop on artist presales (starting February 18) and general sales (February 21), click here!

Paul McCartney
It may not have been a candlelit dinner, but it was just as intimate—Paul McCartney spent the week serenading lucky fans with three up-close-and-personal shows at the Bowery Ballroom, wrapping up on Valentine’s Day. No Instagram filters were needed (or allowed), as these gigs enforced a strict no-phones, no-cameras policy—just pure, unfiltered music. For a man who sparks absolute mayhem wherever he goes, catching him in such a setting is like spotting a musical unicorn in the wild. And frankly, we’re green with envy over everyone who witnessed it.

Shakira
Shakira’s hips didn’t lie—they shimmied straight from her fiery Grammy performance to the opening night of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. And where, you ask, could we possibly track those unstoppable moves on Google Maps? Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, of course—because if there’s one crowd that knows how to turn a concert into a full-blown carnival, it’s them. While her hips should probably have an insurance policy of their own, it was her wardrobe that truly screamed high fashion.
From custom Versace to Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti® Bone cuffs designed just for her, she served up couture alongside the choreography. And let’s be real—we’re already bracing for the inevitable wave of fan-made replicas flooding concert venues worldwide. Speaking of, though Shakira can sell out an arena like it’s second nature, there are still a few seats waiting for you to claim them. Shake a leg before they’re gone!

Sabrina Carpenter
If we thought last year was the year of our five-something pop powerhouse, Sabrina Carpenter is here to prove she’s only getting started—stretching her ‘15 Minutes’ into an endless career high. Next stop? The BRIT Awards on March 1st at the O2 Arena! And she’s not just showing up to dazzle with her signature blend of comedy and theatrics—she’s also taking home yet another trophy: the Global Success Award. She’s in elite company, too, joining past winners like One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Adele, and Sam Smith. Not a bad guest list for her inevitable coronation, wouldn’t you say?

We’re talking 13 massive stadiums, thousands of fans, and plenty of chances to drop an A minor. Tickets are already up for grabs—secure yours here before they’re just a distant melody!
