Why do we discover new music if not to feel a little spark of recognition, to decide it might be love, to search out the artist’s tour dates and spend a little too much money on tickets; to save the date, maybe entreat a friend to join; and finally to put on a massive winter coat and, when we finally arrive at a familiar local venue, wonder what to do with it as we watch that music brought to life? Below, selected by us here at Pitchfork, are some artists and shows where you might find such joy and fellowship in 2025. Prepare for audacious showmanship, borderline offensive stage banter, and very possibly a few punch-ups—or, if you didn’t get Oasis tickets, just having a really nice time at some concerts.
AC/DC
AC/DC continue to strike thunder into venues around the world on the Power Up tour, which brings them to North America this spring for the first time in nearly a decade. Catch the current lineup of Angus Young, Brian Johnson, Stevie Young, Matt Laug, and Chris Chaney at stadiums across the United States in April and May.

–Madison Bloom
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
The Boss is back on the road, and rumors of his retirement were greatly exaggerated. “We’ve been around for 50 fucking years!” he told a Philadelphia crowd last year. “We ain’t doing no farewell tour bullshit!” He’ll be proving it all night in Europe this spring and summer, with dates in England, France, Germany, Czechia, Spain, and Italy.
–Jazz Monroe
Caribou
Now that Honey is out in full, Caribou are drumming up a huge dance party on tour.

–Eric Torres

–Madison Bloom
Dead & Company
Dead and Company can’t stop saying goodbye. This spring, they will bring a new show to Las Vegas Sphere with a two-month residency, which, we are once again led to believe, may be the last chance to catch this Grateful Dead postscript before the book finally closes.
–Jazz Monroe
Deftones
Fresh off of their fifth annual Dia de los Deftones festival, alt. metal legends Deftones will go on a proper tour this year. The trek launches on February 25, in Portland, Oregon, and continues with shows in Seattle, the band’s hometown of Sacramento, Inglewood, Las Vegas, New York, Philadelphia, and many more.

–Madison Bloom

His closing gig takes place at 529 in Atlanta on April 1.
–Madison Bloom

Those dates come with support from Destroyer. Josh Tillman will then cross the pond for gigs in Europe.
–Madison Bloom
Fontaines D.C.
The new era of Fontaines D.C. proceeds apace. The band returned, newly homed at XL Recordings, with the star-marking Romance last year—a stadium-sized record tailored to some of the biggest shows of the Irish group’s career. Catch them while you can on their lengthy North American jaunt this spring—just don’t wear your Oasis T-shirt.
–Jazz Monroe
Franz Ferdinand
Franz Ferdinand are on tour in support of this month’s The Human Fear—their first studio album in seven years.

–Madison Bloom
Gang of Four
Nearly half a century after their formation, Gang of Four are staging a valedictory tour this year. Appropriately called The Long Goodbye, the influential English post-punk band’s last North American tour will kick off in Massachusetts, in mid-April, and run through the end of May. “It’s been wonderful, but all things must end,” they said. “We want to go out with a bang and celebrate with our fans and friends.” Keeping to their word, the remaining members will play two sets each night: a full performance of their landmark 1979 debut album Entertainment!, plus deep cuts and fan favorites from across their catalog.
–Walden Green

Geordie Greep
Black Midi may be on the rocks, but frontperson Geordie Greep has assembled a new songbook and a cadre of oddball characters to repopulate his songwriting universe with solo album The New Sound. He teed up the attendant tour with a London residency featuring a rotating band that jammed, thrashed, and jived through eclectic The New Sound tracks like “Holy, Holy,” throwing in semi-improvisations composed on the day for good measure. Expect more of the same—that is, absolutely anything Greep pleases—as he keeps the show on the road with North American and Japanese dates early this year.
–Jazz Monroe
The Get Up Kids
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Something to Write Home About, the Get Up Kids toured North America last fall, and the trek resumes this month. Shows will run through the spring, with support from Hot Rod Circuit and the Anniversary.
–Jazz Monroe
Greg Mendez
With 2023’s breakout self-titled album and last year’s First Time / Alone EP both tucked in his back pocket, Greg Mendez is heading out on tour to give his heart-on-sleeve indie folk the live christening it deserves. The Philly singer-songwriter recalls early Alex G, both in sound and his devoted following; this tour might be one of your last chances to see him at small venues. Catch Mendez as he travels across the pond this winter.
–Nina Corcoran
The Hard Quartet
Stephen Malkmus, Matt Sweeney, Jim White, and Emmett Kelly are keeping the Hard Quartet rolling into 2025.

–Jazz Monroe
Iron & Wine

Sam Beam’s West Coast stretch is a short one, commencing in Reno and stopping in Inglewood, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, before he plays in other regions of the United States. Beam’s trek follows the release of Light Verse—the first Iron & Wine LP since 2017.
–Madison Bloom
Jack White
Jack White’s No Name Tour will chug on into 2025 with a hefty North American schedule appended to his modest batch of dates behind No Name in small clubs and ad hoc venues last year. He’ll play multiple nights in most cities on the itinerary, sticking to venues small enough to keep things feeling personable.
–Jazz Monroe
Jane Remover
Jane Remover has a busy 2025 planned, reviving the Venturing moniker for a mystery new album and plotting a new Jane Remover record, apparently called Revengeseekerz, leaning into the blown-out rap of their digicore days. As we await news of those records’ release, you can catch them on the the Turn Up or Die Tour, a jaunt across North America with Dazegxd, D0llywood1, and Lucy Bedroque.
–Jazz Monroe
Jamie xx
“This is gunna be funnn!” Jamie xx said upon announcing his intercontinental tour behind In Waves. The producer has already taken his act to cities in Asia and North and South America, and there are plenty more dates to come in the United States and mainland Europe.
–Madison Bloom
Japanese Breakfast
Nearly four (busy) years after her Japanese Breakfast album Jubilee, Michelle Zauner finally has a studio follow-up on the way.

–Jazz Monroe
Jason Isbell
For the time being, Jason Isbell has unhitched his wagon from the 400 Unit.

–Jazz Monroe
Jessica Pratt
After a busy live schedule throughout most of last year to celebrate the release of Here in the Pitch, her standout fourth album, Jessica Pratt appears to be taking it easy when it comes to her 2025 tour plans. The entrancing singer-songwriter returns to the stage on March 26 at Treefort Music Fest and then journeys across the United States for a few more dates. From there, she will fly to Europe for Roskilde Festival and Bilbao BBK Live, both in July.
–Nina Corcoran
Kendrick Lamar and SZA
Many years after the former Top Dawg Entertainment labelmates Kendrick Lamar and SZA first went on tour together, they’re joining forces once more for another leg. Cue the Grand National Tour, their upcoming run of live shows in stadiums across North America. The tour begins in Minneapolis on April 19 and lasts on through to June 18, when it will end in Washington, D.C. Along the way, the pair will perform in major cities like Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, and Chicago. Consider it your best opportunity to hear their old collab “All the Stars.”
–Nina Corcoran
Kim Deal
While the Breeders singer and guitarist Kim Deal has gone solo before, she welcomed her first proper solo full-length, Nobody Loves You More, last year. Now, Deal is going on tour in support of that record. Save for live sets at Primavera Sound Barcelona and Porto in June, most of Deal’s tour will take place over the course of a month. She has a show in London, March 1, and will then return to the United States, where she’ll play Boston, Brooklyn, Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, and more cities.
–Nina Corcoran
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard seemingly never stop touring, and the marathon continues this spring and summer. After a trek across Europe, the Australian oddballs will embark on a U.S. tour including two nights at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium.
–Jazz Monroe
Kraftwerk
For some reason, Tony Hawk leads a choreographed skateboarding sequence in a half-pipe in the promotional video for Kraftwerk’s new tour. The huge North American run extends the 50th anniversary of their landmark album Autobahn, celebrations of which dropped in last year with a Los Angeles residency. The multimedia shows combine music, visuals, and performance art, but, as far as we know, no kickflips.
–Jazz Monroe
Kylie Minogue
Kylie Minogue is hitting the road behind her brand new album Tension II—the sequel to 2023’s Tension. The pop icon will get warmed up in February with several dates in her home country of Australia, before jetting off to cities in Thailand, Japan, and Taiwan. She’ll follow that with a tour of North America in the spring, performing in Toronto, New York, Boston, Atlanta, Phoenix, Seattle, Denver, Los Angeles, and more.

The rapper will then tour North America starting in Philadelphia in April, with further stops in Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and elsewhere.
–Eric Torres
MJ Lenderman
For an artist who seemingly lives on the road, the maverick singer-songwriter (and Wednesday bandmate) MJ Lenderman has a knack for observing the sort of characters you usually only meet after spending way too long in the same place. His companionable album Manning Fireworks is full of them, and he will bring along the full cast of benign slackers and small-time jerks for a sprawling tour that takes in much of North America and a few cities in the UK. Stick around long enough and you might find yourself on the next record.
–Jazz Monroe
Mogwai
Mogwai return with a new album, The Bad Fire, this month, a few years after scoring their first UK No. 1 with As the Love Continues. The Scottish post-rock honchos will back the LP with a tour of Europe, Asia, and North America, which keeps them busy through May 2025, wrapping up in time for festival season.
–Jazz Monroe
Mount Eerie
Phil Elverum is bringing his Mount Eerie project on the road in support of Night Palace, his first solo album as Mount Eerie in six years.

The tour is set to end on April 20, in Washington, D.C. Opening that first leg of the tour are Ragana, while Hana Stretton and Precious Bane join Elverum for the latter half. Alan Sparhawk will perform at two concerts sandwiched in between.
–Nina Corcoran
Mustafa
To celebrate finally releasing his long-awaited first LP, Dunya, Mustafa will bring his storied folk songs to fans around the world this year. Dubbed his debut world tour, the singer-songwriter and poet will perform live in cities in North America, Europe, and Africa across two separate legs. The Lost in the Dunya tour begins on February 11 in San Francisco, California, and comes to an end on May 25 in Port Sudan, Sudan. The Canadian-Sudanese singer’s tales of facing death, violence, and grief with love, resilience, and friendship are a balm in recorded form and even more powerful live.
–Nina Corcoran
My Chemical Romance
Nearly 20 years after its release, The Black Parade is getting the anniversary treatment live onstage this summer courtesy of My Chemical Romance. The emo and pop-punk band are playing their third album in full, with all of its concept melodrama and marching band fanfare, in stadiums across North America, from the opening show in Seattle on July 11 on through to the tour closer in Tampa on September 13. A unique slate of openers for each of the 10 dates includes Devo, Pixies, Violent Femmes, Death Cab for Cutie, Idles, and 100 Gecs, among others.
–Nina Corcoran
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
This spring, for the first time since 2018, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds will tour North America. The majestic stage show behind Wild God comes to Boston in mid-April before winding across the continent’s arenas, theaters, and music halls—including Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and two nights at Chicago’s Salt Shed—and concluding in San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium a month later.
–Jazz Monroe
Nubya Garcia
London jazz artist Nubya Garcia released her sophomore album, Odyssey, last September. She’s been on tour since, and after a string of shows in Asia and Australia, the saxophonist will take her shapeshifting, orchestral songs on the road in Europe and North America.
–Eric Torres
Oasis
“Not long now kids are we all excited,” Liam Gallagher posted on X at the end of 2024, proving you’re not the only one counting down the days until the very-real Oasis reunion. The perpetually feuding brothers set aside their beef to plot dozens of massive tour dates around the world this summer and extending on into the fall. Beginning with two shows in Cardiff, Wales, on July 4 and 5, Oasis will play stadiums and arenas across the United Kingdom, Ireland, North America, Australia, and South America—their first shows together as a full band since 2009.
–Nina Corcoran
Panda Bear
February will usher in Sinister Grift, the first new Panda Bear album since 2019’s Buoys. The Animal Collective member plans to bring that new material on the road when he joins Toro y Moi for a North American tour at the top of the year. After launching the leg in Minneapolis on February 6, they make their way across major cities in the United States and Canada before ending their tour on May 16. Panda Bear won’t stop there, though. He’s got solo dates in Spain and Portugal in March, as well as more North American and European dates that extend into the summer.
–Nina Corcoran
Pearl Jam
Eddie Vedder and the crew are sticking it out on the road a year after releasing Dark Matter last year. Stay tuned for one-off treats at the arena shows, such as last year’s surprise rendition of “Rockin’ in the Free World” with Steve Van Zandt, Watt, and Glen Hansard, or their cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “No Surrender” shortly afterwards.
–Jazz Monroe
Porridge Radio
Porridge Radio keep their dials set between emotionally forward alt-rock and high-stakes indie-pop on Clouds in the Sky Will Always Be There for Me, a record about “a more frenetic and desperate kind of love” than ever, as they put it in a press release. You can watch it come to life as they tour the United States and Europe in the coming months.
–Jazz Monroe
Post Malone
Post Malone’s country era is now in full swing, and he announced his 2025 tour in typically cowboy-ish fashion. Long before the lineup typically launches, he leaked news of an apparent Coachella headline set by listing dates in Indio, California, the weekends of the festival. That was soon confirmed—the festival released its lineup a day later—but if you can’t make it to the desert, you can find Posty, Jelly Roll, and Sierra Ferrell at stadiums around North America right through to the summer.
–Jazz Monroe
Refused
Now that Refused have seen a swell of new fans following the resurgence of “New Noise,” their lasting hit-turned-Pavlovian stressor in The Bear, the Swedish post-hardcore greats are going out on top with a farewell tour of North America this spring. Starting March 21, in Brooklyn, and ending April 10, in Sacramento, these dates take place nearly a year after frontperson Dennis Lyxzén recovered from a heart attack back. Joining them for the farewell tour are New York ’90s greats Quicksand.
–Nina Corcoran
Schoolboy Q
Just because 2024 is behind us, doesn’t mean Schoolboy Q is ready to leave Blue Lips, his standout album from last March, with it. The TDE rapper is bringing the raw, immediate songs from his LP—as well as a mix of hits and fan favorites from his catalog—to a short headlining tour to start 2025 strong. Beginning in Oakland, California on January 23 and lasting on through to February 20 in London, Schoolboy Q’s live tour will bring his contagious energy to just nine cities across the United States and Europe.
–Nina Corcoran
Scissor Sisters
Jake Shears has spent his time since Scissor Sisters’ heyday performing on Broadway and releasing solo records. Now, he has reconvened the old band (minus co-frontperson Ana Matronic), and will bring along support act Allison Goldfrapp for a tour of the United Kingdom—long home to most of the U.S. band’s biggest fans. “It’s the 20th anniversary of our debut album, so it really feels like the right time to revisit all the intense excitement of that moment,” Shears said in a press release.
–Jazz Monroe
Sharon Van Etten
The return of Sharon Van Etten in 2025 is tied to a new project and gothic new-wave direction. Joined by new bandmates under the name Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory, she’s putting out a self-titled album and hitting the road to give songs like “Afterlife” and “Southern Life (What It Must Be Like)” room to breathe onstage. Their North American tour begins on February 1, in Westerly, Rhode Island, and lasts until May 21, where they end their run in Los Angeles. Opening various concerts along the way are She Keeps Bees, Nabihah Iqbal, and Love Spells.
–Nina Corcoran
Soccer Mommy
It’s only natural that Soccer Mommy would bring Evergreen, an album exploring loneliness and nature, snaking through the mountains and rivers of North America on tour. Her live shows start on January 22 in Atlanta, Georgia, and will bring Sophie Allison and her band across the United States and Canada through March. On April 26, they land in Lisbon for a European leg of the tour that wraps in Warszaw on May 22.
–Nina Corcoran
St. Vincent
St. Vincent began her All Born Screaming Tour last year, and there are plenty more dates to come.

–Matthew Strauss
Tyler Childers
Rustin’ in the rain no more, Tyler Childers is seeing in the spring with an expansive tour of North America that will keep him on the road all through summer.

Goodman, among others.
–Jazz Monroe
Tyler, the Creator
Unless you caught Tyler, the Creator on a shipping container in one of four cities or during his blowout set at his own Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, your first opportunity to see him perform Chromakopia is fast approaching. The boundlessly creative rapper is bringing his show around North America, Europe, and Oceania nearly all year long. From the opening date in St. Paul, Minnesota on February 4 to the final concert in Perth, Australia, on September 4, Tyler, the Creator will be rounding out the shows with openers Lil Yachty and Paris Texas. Whether or not he’ll be feeling “Noid” from all the attention is up in the air.
–Nina Corcoran

The Weather Station will begin the tour in England. From there, she performs in major cities across Europe and then makes her way to the United States and Canada, ending her route, in Toronto, on June 6.
–Nina Corcoran
“Weird Al” Yankovic
Everyone’s favorite accordion player is getting bigger and weirder in 2025 and you’re invited to watch. “Weird Al” Yankovic is taking over North America on a huge headline tour this summer, promising to merge his crowd-pleaser parodies and superfan deep cuts for a show overflowing with wild set design, costume changes, and plenty of props. Beginning with a headlining residency at the Venetian Theatre, in Las Vegas, the tour extends all the way to September 25, where Yankovic concludes the Bigger & Weirder Tour in Florida. “With twice as many players on stage, everything is going to sound twice as good!” he promises.
–Nina Corcoran
Wilco
Wilco have enlisted Waxahatchee for the latest batch of dates on their Sweet and Sour tour, bringing along the Alabama singer-songwriter to support a stint across the American South.

–Jazz Monroe
Yasmin Williams
Yasmin Williams’ acoustic guitar symphonies can build worlds through a pair of headphones, and now you can see them brought to bear before your very eyes.

–Jazz Monroe
Youth Lagoon
Not even two years after Heaven Is a Junkyard, Youth Lagoon is returning with a new album and a tour to ring it in.
