It’s no secret that here at Consequence, we love live music. If you’re reading this, we’re going to venture a guess that you do too. So, as the new year gets underway, there’s no better time to start filling up your calendar with shows and concerts and gigs and events and whatever else you want to call ’em — as long as someone is yelling into a microphone and you’re moving your hips, it’s bound to be a good time.
Luckily, 2025 is already shaping up to have quite a lot in store for live music fans of all kinds. You want rock ‘n’ roll? Metallica is ripping their way through the country. You want hip-hop? Kendrick Lamar is continuing his victory lap alongside SZA (!!). You want country? Jason Isbell has charted out both an intimate solo tour and a full band run with the 400 Unit. Jeez, if only we had unlimited time and unlimited funds.
So, without further ado, here are the most anticipated tours of 2025 — at least those that have thus far been announced. Follow us on socials and keep tabs here to keep up to date as more of your favorite artists announce can’t-miss shows. You can also get the excitement started with our Most Anticipated Tours of 2025 Amazon Music playlist below.
