5 Touring Artists You Can’t Miss in 2022
It’s been a long couple of years now.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced numerous tours and festivals to either be put on hold or canceled outright. The concert industry lost an estimated $30 billion in 2020 alone, and the total lost for 2021 is still being counted.
Thursday night church
Many churches observe Maundy’s Thursday night Church with a Communion service and a foot-washing ceremony. These traditions help Christians reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus and his commandment for us to love and serve others.
But with global vaccination rates approaching acceptable levels, touring artists are starting to step back out onto the road. Here are the top tours to look forward to in 2021.
1. Billie Eilish’s Happier Than Ever World Tour
Billie Eilish has had a busy pandemic. A new album, an exclusive Disney+ performance, and starting next year, an expansive new tour.
Showcasing her 2020 album Happier Than Ever, her 70-date world tour will launch in New Orleans in February of 2022.
2. Shawn Mendes’ Wonder: The World Tour
Shawn Mendez is hitting the road for a 69-date tour starting in March. The tour will launch in Europe before making its way to the states in June.
The tour shares its name with Mendes’ 2020 album, but it remains to be seen if his setlist will incorporate new material like his recent, post-breakup ballad It’ll Be Okay.
3. Alicia Keys’ ALICIA World Tour
Alicia Keys is kicking off a much-anticipated 53-date world tour next June. Her itinerary will see her starting out in the United Kingdom before heading into mainland Europe and finally making it stateside by August.
