Another day, another tour announcement. It’s only March, but 2026 seems to be a big year for some highly anticipated tours. Obviously, we’ve already got tickets to some of the biggest tours of the year, like Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, 5SOS, BTS, Olivia Dean, and Bruno Mars. But, naturally, we could always go for even more tickets in our pocket. Here’s a list of artists we’d like to add to our schedule this year.
Lola Young
Our girl is back! Lola Young is officially back to performing live (and getting those GRAMMYs), and we couldn’t be more proud of her. Of course, now that she’s doing a few live shows, we have to support and show up. Throughout the month of June, Lola Young will be performing at the Birmingham O2 Academy, the O2 Apollo in Manchester, the O2 Academy in Glasgow, and the O2 Academy Brixton in London on The Comeback Tour – are you going!?

Arlo Parks
Arlo Parks is someone we’ve been supporting for a long time now, and we are so excited that she’s headed back on the road and releasing new music! The first time we saw Arlo Parks perform, she was on tour with Billie Eilish, and we immediately fell in love with her soul-sound. The Desire Tour is going global – from dozens of stops in North America to even more stops in Europe, we’re hoping to secure a ticket to at least one show. To get prepared, pre-order Arlo’s upcoming album, Ambiguous Desire, here.

Empire Of The Sun
Now this is a tour we cannot miss! The Ask That God: Afterlife Tour is coming to North America this fall, and we need to see you there, honeybees. We’re going to be hearing new songs, OG tracks, and just having the best possible time ever with our fellow Empire Of The Sun fan friends. If there’s a barricade on this tour, you can bet you’ll find us front and center.

Earl Sweatshirt
Earl Sweatshirt is hitting the road with collaborators and friends Mike and Surf Gang. This was honestly an unexpected announcement, but we’re so here for it! The guys will be traveling across North America and Europe all summer long for the Home On The Range Tour. It looks like our summer is turning out to be very, very busy. We might just be sitting on an airplane from June to August, but hey, we can’t complain about that.

Jorja Smith
2026 is Jorja Smith’s year! She’ll be headlining All Points East festival in London alongside Tems on August 21st. This announcement made us even more excited to be running around Victoria Park this summer. We already have our tickets to the festival, do you!? Additionally, we are so excited to see Jorja open for Harry Styles on the Together, Together tour – she’s killin’ it right now!

Metallica
Looks like we’re headed to Las Vegas! Iconic heavy metal band Metallica is joining the iconic lineup of artists headlining the Sphere. They’ve added 16 more dates to their residency there, so it’s definitely a sign to us that we need to be present and accounted for. Seeing this band perform live alongside the incredible visuals at the Sphere is going to be a life-changing experience, to say the least. If any of our fellow honeybees are going to be attending, let us know in the comments! We want to see you there!

The Mountain Tour 2026 is 100% on our top tours to attend this year. They’ll be playing arena shows throughout the U.S. and Canada throughout September and October – the perfect way to ring in the fall season! If you’re a major Gorillaz fan like us, for these shows, make sure you get VIP tickets to access all the perks of being a stan. Should we plan to see you there!?

Tucker Wetmore
The Brunette World Tour, here we come! Honestly, Tucker Wetmore can have all of our money, and does. A Tucker show is something we’d never miss, so we’re adding it to our list. Now that he’s added more dates to the tour, we can say for sure that we will be in attendence. From Red Rocks in Colorado to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Tucker is playing so many iconic stages, and we’d love to be there in person to support him. We’re so proud of him!
