Many popular artists have scheduled concerts in 2025. 

Hip Hop

Kendrick Lamar and SZA did the Super Bowl together and are now planning to go on tour.

The Grand National Tour will be their upcoming run of live shows across North America. It will begin in Minneapolis on April 19 and go until June 18 when it ends in Washington, D.C. They will be performing in major cities like Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, and Chicago. 

According to Pitchfork, “Consider it your best opportunity to hear their old collab ‘All the Stars.'”

“I really want to go to one,” sophomore Alayla Lemons said. “Because ever since I listened to SZA and Kendrick, they’ve been one of my favorite artists.”

Country

Zach Bryan is a country singer. He has gone on tour before and is going to be doing a few concerts in 2025. 

According to y!entertainment, “He will perform back-to-back-to-back concerts a la Swift at East Rutherford, New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on Friday, July 18, Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20.”

Kings of Leon will be at all three of those. 

According to y!entertainment, “Prior to the Garden State stadium stint, Bryan will play a pair of concerts at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Wednesday, Dec. 18 and Thursday, Dec. 19 as part of his ongoing ‘The Quittin’ Time Tour.’”

Other notable upcoming stops for the “I Remember Everything” singer include a headlining gig at 2025’s Stagecoach Festival and two shows at London’s Hyde Park.

“I would go to a Zach Bryan concert,” sophomore Lili’ana Hoskins said. “Because I can go to it in the summer and summer is my favorite season and it would be very summer coated.” 

Pop

Sabrina Carpenter is a pop singer. She wrapped up a 33-date North American tour last fall and has a few more concerts scheduled for 2025. 

According to Fader, “The pop star has announced another round of Short n’ Sweet tour dates in the U.S. and Canada for fall 2025, kicking off in October with shows in Pittsburgh, New York City, Nashville, Toronto, and Los Angeles.”

She has 12 dates scheduled at press time. She will be in arenas like Madison Square Garden and the Crypto.com Arena, and will be bringing along Ravyn Lenae, Olivia Dean and Amber Mark.
