What’s that sound? Oh, just the rhythmic clack of your keyboard as you type your favorite artist’s name into Twitter, chasing that grainy, shaky fan video from last night’s show—filmed by someone you kind of resent but also deeply admire because they were actually there. Yep, we know the feeling. And this week, it’s hitting even harder as more of our faves take to the stage. So we’re diving headfirst into the concert envy vortex, spotlighting the artists currently serving live magic—and a couple more who are about to crank up the FOMO.
Halsey
We didn’t need to flip a tarot card to know that Halsey’s greatest trick yet is their last one. Okay, maybe not in a “disappearing act” kind of way—though that is what they’re calling the tour: For My Last Trick. Kicking off on May 10 in Concord, CA, with a sold-out show, this Alice-in-Wonderland-meets-poetic-acid-trip extravaganza has been bending reality from Phoenix to L.A. and beyond. The wildcard? A “dealer’s choice” round in Oklahoma, where the audience entirely picked the setlist.
Costumed like a couture fever dream—Vivienne Westwood, Anna Sui, Selkie, Zana Bayne, and Seth Pratt all make appearances—Halsey has been a vision: fierce, ethereal, and occasionally tearful. At the Hollywood Bowl, they invited not just the doctors and nurses who helped during their leukemia treatment, but also their son’s teachers, neighbors, and friends. It was part rock show, part love letter.
And if the gothic romance wasn’t already at full throttle, Evanescence dropped by, with Amy Lee joining Halsey to perform their haunting collab ‘HAND THAT FEEDS.’ The U.S. leg of the tour runs through July 6, so if you’re feeling the magic tug, go ahead and pull that ticket trigger. You won’t need a crystal ball to know it’s worth it.

Lizzo And SZA
In the grand tradition of surprise appearances that feel like musical whack-a-mole, Lizzo popped up at SZA’s Grand National Tour stop in L.A. to remind the crowd just how ‘Special’ they really are—literally, by joining SZA onstage to belt out her chart-topping anthem. As if that wasn’t enough star power, Justin Bieber also made an appearance, casually adding to the chaos in the best way. With cameos like these, every show feels like a lottery ticket with glittery odds. So, feeling lucky? Might be time to snag those seats—because you never know who’ll show up next.

Metallica
Brace your necks—Metallica’s M72 World Tour is charging into its fourth year (yes, you read that right). The metal legends are taking their thunderous spectacle across Europe and the UK in 2026, with 16 headbanging dates set for May through July. It’s the kind of news that makes your inner teenager dig out that black band tee and start practicing air guitar in the mirror. Ticket sales go live May 30 at 10 a.m. local time—so set your alarms, warm up your mosh pit muscles, and get ready to rage.

Avril Lavigne
Cue the pink-and-black checkered skull hearts—we’re bedazzling them on posters, laced-up sneakers, and yes, even velcro wristbands. Why? Because pop punk princess Avril Lavigne is officially back on the road. She kicked off the sold-out North American leg of her Greatest Hits Tour on May 18, and it’s already giving us early-2000s-core in the best way possible. Fans are handing over gifts (including one guy who let Avril literally decorate his tattoo of her—on his leg), but she came bearing a present of her own: the live debut of ‘Young & Dumb,’ her collab with Simple Plan, who are currently opening all her U.S. dates. Time’s ticking if you want in—this leg wraps on June 27, but not before pit stops at some iconic venues, including Madison Square Garden and Hersheypark Stadium. So, dust off that studded belt and make your teenage self proud.

Noah Kahan
BST Hyde Park is shaping up to be the Super Bowl of festivals—minus the cheer squads, plus a lot more poetic heartbreak. Leading the pack is Noah Kahan, joined by a lineup that reads like your most emotionally devastating playlist: bow-tied balladeer Gracie Abrams, musical mastermind FINNEAS (not quite Ferb, but close), and Gigi Perez, who may or may not be a modern-day siren—her ‘Sailor Song’ has us looping like we’re lost at sea. New additions Asha Banks and Maya Lane are tagging in, adding even more shine to an already glittering bill. It all lands in London’s Hyde Park on July 4, 2025—right in the middle of what the Brits call summer (read: it might rain, wear boots anyway).
