2026 Grammy Nominees You Can See Live
If you’re already thinking about your 2026 concert calendar, you don’t need to scroll through a thousand tour rumors to figure out who’s actually worth planning around. The newly revealed 2026 Grammy nominees are basically a shortcut — a list of artists who had the biggest year in music and are preparing to take over arenas, stadiums, and festival lineups next.
The Grammys take place February 1, and while some of these nominees will be onstage collecting trophies (and going viral for outfits and speeches), plenty of them are also headed on the road. That means their award-nominated songs won’t just live on streaming…they’ll be performed live in cities across the U.S. and Canada, with ticket demand to match.
If you’re looking for 2026 concert tickets, here are some of the biggest Grammy-nominated artists you can catch live in the coming months.
Bruno Mars
Nominated for: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
Catch him on: On the 2026 Bruno Mars Tour, kicking off April 10 in Las Vegas, NV, and running through October 14 in Vancouver, BC.
Bruno Mars doesn’t tour very often, which is exactly why the 2026 “Romantic Tour” is such a big deal. After years of living in the Vegas residency world (and popping up for high-profile moments when he feels like it), Bruno stepping into a full run again feels like a real event, the kind of tour people plan their whole year around and remember for years to come.
Expect the setlist to hit every era that made him untouchable live — the early pop hits, the funkier grooves, the Silk Sonic influence, and the kind of tight band chemistry most pop tours don’t even attempt. He’ll even be joined on the road by his good friend and collaborator, Anderson.Paak!
Lady Gaga
Nominated for: Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and more (7 total).
Catch her on: ‘The Mayhem Ball Tour’ across Europe, Australia/Japan, and North America (Feb–Apr 2026).
Lady Gaga already has enough awards to qualify as her own museum exhibit, but the Mayhem era proves she’s still in her “let’s make pop weird again” mode. In a way that only ‘Mother Monster’ can. “Abracadabra” feels like it time-traveled out of a peak Gaga playlist, except it also sounds sharper and more current than half of what’s on pop radio.
With The Mayhem Ball Tour rolling through major cities, 2026 is the kind of year where Gaga fans commit to the bit even more than usual. Colorful outfits, insane charisma, and full stadium singalongs to “Born This Way” and “The Dead Dance.” The theatrics are big, but the demand for these shows is even bigger… so grab your 2026 Lady Gaga tickets now!
Ariana Grande
Nominated for: Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
Catch her on: ‘The Eternal Sunshine Tour’ launching June 6, 2026 in Oakland, CA, and running through to September in London.
Ariana Grande getting back into touring mode is one of the biggest pop developments of 2026. Yes, she’s had a major presence through Wicked and the “Defying Gravity” movement, but she’s also more than ready to celebrate her latest record, 2024’s Eternal Sunshine.
Ariana’s catalog is already stacked enough to carry a stadium night without repeating a single mood twice. You’re getting the newer singles, the deep-feeling slower tracks, and the classics that made her one of the defining pop voices of her generation.
The 2026 Ariana Grande tour is also her first in years, which means the momentum is going to be intense.
Chris Stapleton
Nominated for: Best Country Solo Performance
Catch him: On the All-American Road Show Tour 2026, beginning May 23 in Nashville, TN, and continuing through October 9 in Kansas City, MO, with openers on select dates including Lainey Wilson, Zach Top, Grace Potter, and more.
Chris Stapleton has hosted the “All American Road Show” for nearly a decade, much to the delight of Americana music fans…and 2026 is no exception. He’s one of the rare modern country headliners who can fill massive venues without relying on overproduction, because his voice (and those of the many friends who join him) does all the work for him.
From “Tennessee Whiskey” and “Starting Over” to “White Horse” or even the deeper cuts that longtime fans swear by, Stapleton shows tend to feel both huge and strangely personal at the same time. A night at the All-American Road Show Tour feels as much like a concert as it does a honky-tonk bar night with friends, and that’s only part of its massive appeal. Grab your tickets now!
Teddy Swims
Nominated for: Best Pop Vocal Album (I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2)).
Catch him on: The ongoing I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy tour through 2025, plus a stacked 2026 run of UK and European festival dates (Isle of Wight, Glasgow Summer Sessions, Lytham Festival, Scarborough Open Air Theatre and more).
Teddy Swims is a prime example of an artist who’s blown up without losing the heart of what makes him work. His voice is the main event, and live, it doesn’t feel like he’s performing at the crowd…but more like he’s singing directly to the person standing in front of him.
Do you enjoy pop that leans soulful, emotional, and a little rough around the edges? You may have just found your new favorite singer. With I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) in the Grammy nom lineup and a tour schedule that keeps expanding….
The 2026 Teddy Swims concerts are going to be the kind people walk into as casual listeners and leave as fans. Reserve your verified resale tickets now!
Ghost
Nominated for: Best Metal Performance
Catch them: On the 2026 Ghost tour, with additional North America dates expected as their next cycle continues rolling out.
Ghost fans follow every album cycle and tour religiously…literally. Those lucky enough to see them live have witnessed the Swedish band’s breathtaking, cathedral-like stage backdrop to accompany their macabre makeup and onstage personas. And the Skeletá chapter has been one of their most exciting yet.
With not only a 2026 Ghost tour, but also a Grammy nomination in the mix, it’s destined to be a great year for Tobias Forge and Co. Do you want to see what all the fuss is about with their live shows? Reserve your verified resale tickets today…because a Ghost concert is a religious experience in more ways than one.
Turnstile
Nominated for: Five rock/metal categories tied to their latest album Never Enough.
Catch them on: Never Enough Tour across North America in fall 2025, plus a packed 2025–26 festival calendar including Lollapalooza (Argentina, Chile, Brazil), Asunciónico, Estéreo Picnic, Tecate Pa’l Norte, Coachella and more.
Becoming Grammy nominees as a hardcore band isn’t easy, as the genre often equates underground credibility with success. Even so, Turnstile making this year’s list still makes perfect sense, because they’ve built their reputation the only way that really works in heavy music….
By showing up, touring constantly, and turning every crowd into a moving, jumping mess of energy. Their live shows aren’t “hardcore as intimidation.” They’re hardcore as release — sweaty, fast, chaotic, and weirdly joyful. If you’re catching Turnstile in North America in 2026, you’re not getting a calm concert night. And that’s the best part.
KATSEYE
Nominated for: Best New Artist, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
Catch them on: The Beautiful Chaos World Tour across North America in late 2025 (Nov-Dec) followed by major festival appearances in South America in March 2026 and Coachella in April 2026.
KATSEYE may seem like they came out of nowhere, but such a fast rise to fame isn’t uncommon in the K-pop world. And they’re more than ready to play in the big rooms. Their Best New Artist nomination — plus the nod for “Gabriela” — puts them in that rare space where they’re still new enough to feel exciting, but polished enough to headline a night without it feeling like a “warm-up” era.
If you catch KATSEYE in 2026, it’ll be the kind of show you reference later when the venues double in size. Not because they were unknown, but because you got to see the blueprint while it was still taking shape.
