Thanksgiving is just right around the corner. And then comes Christmas. And before you know it, you’re celebrating New Year’s Eve – champagne in hand and fireworks on the sky. Just like that, we’re welcoming 2019 with open arms. For many, the new year signals new beginnings, chances to start over, and awesome things to come. In music, this means we have a whole array of new concerts and albums to look forward to. Some concerts have already been announced and you can expect more announcements ahead. In this article, we’ve tallied both confirmed and rumored concerts to look forward to in 2019.

“Rumour Has It” that a brand new album is in the works for Adele. This is great news for fans as the “Hello” singer has been on a long break from the music scene for quite a while. According to The Sun, the English songstress is back in the United Kingdom to write some songs over the summer. The album is alleged to be released on or before the Christmas of 2019. The singer told fans to expect a long break from her after her highly successful 2016 world tour, Adele Live 2016. This marks one of the first major developments for Adele since vocal chord damage forced her to cancel two Wembley Stadium shows in 2017.

2019 just became even sweeter! Living legend and icon, Cher announced an epic new tour. The Here We Go Again Tour will mark her first trek across the U.S. in five years. The news was announced on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last September. The 72-year-old entertainer, who is currently doing a series of residencies in Las Vegas, released her brand new album, Dancing Queen last Sept. 28. The album was inspired after starring in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. And so, you can expect performances to her ABBA tribute album, in addition to her own singles. The Here We Go Again Tour is debuting on January 7, 2019, at the Hertz Arena in Florida. It will be running through until May 18, 2019, at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

We’re counting on tradition on this one. Drake has been hitting the road either solo or as a co-headliner every year since 2012. And if the rapper is a creature of habit, we are quite positive we’ll have another tour coming our way this 2019. What would we do without our summer tour staple to look forward to? Drake announced he will start recording a new project as soon as the Aubrey & the Three Migos Tour wraps up. We’ll keep you posted with the latest news regarding the Canadian rapper’s 2019 plans.
Elton John, “Farewell Yellow Brick Road”
What a bittersweet feeling. Another music legend, Elton John, announced that he is retiring from touring. And he is not the only one. Already this year, Ozzy Osbourne, Paul Simon, Joan Baez, and Minus the Bear amongst many other musicians, have announced their final tours. But the 71-year old musician isn’t going out without a last hurrah. Elton is prolonging the inevitable by touring around the world for the next three years (yes, 3 years). So you have plenty of opportunities yet to rock out alongside “Crocodile Rock” and “Rocket Man”. The Farewell Yellow Brick Tour has set sail since 2018, with plenty of locations in North America left for you to attend.
