2022 Tours
We Want To See
As we get closer to 2022, we can’t help but be grateful for the shows we saw in 2021, and start getting excited about who we’re seeing next year. From concert-starved fans trying to cop tickets in a high-demand market, hoping shows didn’t get cancelled as new covid varieties emerged, to the exciting relief of finally making it to the night of show, it’s safe to say 2021 was a ride. One thing for sure is fans and artists are hungry for more, and there are plenty of amazing tours to look forward to!
The Weeknd - After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour
Originally scheduled for 2021, it was pushed to summer 2022 due to covid restrictions. While this may feel like a long time to wait for the tour in support of his 2020 album After Hours, we may be in for a treat. His Super Bowl performance proved that a spectacle of this grandeur is fit for a larger stage. After all, we’re expecting to see hits like Blinding Lights, which has reached over 2.7 billion streams on Spotify.
“Due to constraints of arenas and the demand for more shows I want to do something bigger and special for you which requires stadiums,” The Weeknd shared on social media. New tour dates will be announced soon!

Dua Lipa - The Future Nostalgia Tour
Dua Lipa released her sophomore album Future Nostalgia in March 2020, right when the world closed down. This didn’t stop her from delivering one of the strongest performing pop records in recent years, and from giving us one of the best virtual performances while venues remained shuttered. In November 2020, Dua Lipa hosted a livestream event called Studio 2054, and set the world record for most tickets sold for a livestreamed concert by a solo female artist that year with a total of 284,000 tickets sold.
In summer 2021, “Levitating” was still topping the charts, and it’s the No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 Song of the Year.
“I’m so thrilled to tour again and see my angels in person! How amazing that we all get to dance and celebrate together once again,” Dua Lipa said in a statement.
Dates: Feb 9 - April 1
Opening acts: Megan Thee Stallion, Caroline Polachek, and Lolo Zouaï

Tyler, The Creator - Call Me If Your Get Lost Tour
In support of his 2021 album, Call Me If You Get Lost, Tyler is set to get his passport stamped up across North America between February and April 2022. His itinerary of support artists are Kali Uchis, Vince Staples, and Texas rapper Teezo Touchdown.
Kali Uchis released her album Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios) in fall 2020, and Vince Staples recently released his self-titled album in summer 2021. Teezo Touchdown is featured on the track “RunItUp” in Call Me If You Get Lost.
In November 2021, Tyler performed “Massa” at the American Music Awards. The set was a dark, snowy scene in front of a house that ended with a scooter driving on scene, Tyler hopping on the back with his luggage and riding off the set. We’re expecting nothing less than his elaborate stage performances, and a celebration of escapism during these times.

Lorde - The Solar Power Tour
In support of her third full-length album, Solar Power, released in August, Lorde will tour internationally and perform in venues including outdoor amphitheatres. The New Zealand-born artist took a four-year hiatus after her gloomy sophomore album Melodrama, and delivered a light-hearted yet introspective album, with the sun-kissed “Solar Power” as its first single.
“The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalizing the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors,” Lorde said in a statement. “In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learned to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.”
