Whether you love her or hate her, Taylor Swift has easily become one of the biggest names in music today, and after the release of her eleventh studio album “The Tortured Poets Department,” her legacy is sure to keep on growing. The second leg of her “Eras Tour” starts on May 9 in Paris, France, with stops scheduled across Europe. There are also Canadian dates in Toronto and Vancouver and additional U.S. dates in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis this fall.

If you’re a fan of Lana Del Rey, Lorde or Taylor Swift, there’s another artist you should look out for – Bleachers. This group is actually Grammy-winning producer Jack Antonoff’s solo project, which has been around long before he produced albums for big name artists like Swift, Del Rey and more. Bleachers has had their biggest year so far. Not only have they released their self-titled album this past March, they also performed both weekends at this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. You can catch Antonoff on the road this summer on their “From the Studio to the Stage” tour across the U.S., or at his sold-out show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on October 4.

Blink-182

The biggest and unexpected pop-punk reunion of last year is keeping their momentum going in 2024. Blink-182′ latest album, “One More Time…,” is their first album since 2011 where all three of the band’s original members – Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker and Tom DeLonge – are together. After kicking things off last month in Australia, Blink-182 will continue making their way across the globe, playing in South America this spring and across North America this summer. If you’re a fan of mosh pits, foul-mouth banter and reliving your Warped Tour emo days, this show is for you.

Megan Thee Stallion

What better way is there to celebrate the start of summer than with the queen of “hot girl summer” Megan Thee Stallion? Since becoming an independent artist last year after her departure from her previous labels, 1501 Certified Music and 300 Entertainment, she has shown that she is still at large and in charge. Her most recent singles, “Cobra” and “Hiss,” have reached critical success, with the latter becoming her first solo number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100. As the weather warms up in May, she’ll kick off the “Hot Girl Summer Tour” across the U.S., along with a couple of dates in Europe and the UK.

Indie rock singer Noah Kahan is quickly becoming a household name, and if you do a quick internet search, you’ll understand why. Since the release of his third studio album “Stick Season,” he was nominated for Best New Artist at this year’s Grammys, collaborated with big-name artists like Post Malone, Hozier and Kacey Musgraves, and was a musical guest on Saturday Night Live last December. Kahan doesn’t show any signs of slowing down soon.

The”Everything or Nothing At All” tour, which has been ongoing since 2023, will make its way across the U.S. this summer, with additional headlining dates at the Shake Knees Music Festival in Atlanta, GA, and Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, FL.
