2016 is definitely lining up to be a great year to see a concert, or two, or three. There’s a lot of live talent coming your way and you will need to budget yourself wisely, especially if you like going to see live shows and concerts. A lot of big names will be on the road performing live on stage at venues all across North America (and beyond). We’ve watched your responses on social media, we’ve been keeping an eye on as many fan pages as we can, and I think we came up with a pretty good list of who’s on tour this year, and where you can see them.
Following is a list, in no specific order other than alphabetically. Feel free to click on any of the performer names to be taken to their latest, updated page which should break down the latest concert tour information that you need. You can always leave comments below and we will do our best to respond quickly. So far, there’s about 60 different events / performing acts listed below, all taking place within North America (Canada and The United States). Some listed below, you may find duplicates, that’s due to there being several co-headlining events. Click on each listing to be taking to their specific Tour Page. See list below. If you noticed that we missed a performer or act, please leave a comment below and we will add them to the list.
