This year has been dominated by gigs that feel more like events. From Taylor Swift’s sprawling ‘Eras’ tour, through the communal joy found at Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ tour to Madonna’s ambitious ‘Celebration’ tour, live music has become about creating unforgettable moments.
With the rising cost of everything though, it seems some artists know the best way to give fans the ultimate experience is to curate a line-up of unmissable acts. It’s only November but already 2024 is shaping up to be dominated by massive team-up tours. Below are the ones you absolutely need to see.
Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins & Rancid
As well as touring in support of upcoming album ‘Saviors’, Green Day are set to spend a majority of 2024 celebrating both ‘American Idiot’ and ‘Dookie’ with a massive stadium tour. The UK will see them supported by Nothing But Thieves while North America gets The Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and The Linda Lindas. Check out dates here.

Manic Street Preachers & Suede
After first touring together back in 1993, Manic Street Preachers and Suede spent their summer playing shows across North America. Now, they’re set to head out across the United Kingdom and Ireland on a mammoth co-headline run that kicks off in June.
Speaking about the tour, Suede frontman Brett Anderson said: “It’s really inspiring to have a band that you love playing with you. It’s like a friendly competition,” while Manics bassist and lyricist Nick Wire added: “We never belonged to anything apart from ourselves. We were never part of grunge, we were never part of Britpop.” Check out dates here.

Nile Rodgers & Chic & Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Nile Rodgers & Chic have always brought the party, while Sophie Ellis Bextor has switched things up from glitzy 00’s pop to something more sprawling but still just as celebratory. Next year, the two acts will be heading out on the ‘Good Times’ tour together, starting in June at Halifax’s The Piece Hall. “Mark your calendars because we’re gonna light up the night, celebrate life, and dance like there’s no tomorrow,” said Rodgers.
