The upcoming summer of 2016 promises to be a great one for almost all concert goers. It does not matter what kind of music you are into, whether it be rock, classic rock, pop, rap, hip-hop or country, there’s plenty of live summer concerts to see. We’ve compiled our own list of the top concerts to see, no matter what the music type. Obviously, if you’re into hip-hop, you’re not going to want to know about any heavy metal shows, but we still break them all down anyway.
This 2016 year so far has been very big in the live music and concert area. Some very big names in music have been on tour this year, and seem to continue on throughout the year. Here you will find listed most of the music events we can think of that are taking place over the summer of the year 2016. It doesn’t really matter what type of music you are into, there is most definitely a handful of performers that you would not mind seeing live in concert. For me, I guess that would have to be the ‘partially’ reunited Guns N’ Roses, but at the same time, I wouldn’t mind seeing KISS or even Drake!
Check out the list below of performers, bands and acts that are putting on concert tours for this summer. You can click on each name or title, and you will be taken to their Tour Page which will break down all the latest tour and concert information. The list below is in no particular order, other than alphabetically. If you notice a band or name than needs to be added (or removed or updated), then please ‘Comment’ below.
