Kylie Minogue – Tension Tour 

After a short-but-sweet Las Vegas residency, the “Princess of Pop” is back for her first full-length trek since 2011. Kylie Minogue is going all in with her “Tension Tour,” named after her last two records. And if you’ve listened to 2023’s Tension or this year’s Tension II, you know you’re in for a dance-worthy, electrifying treat that shows Kylie at her finest. 

With new songs like “Padam Padam,” “Tension,” “Lights Camera Action” and “My Oh My,” featuring Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo, Kylie Minogue is in a mature and magical new era. Don’t worry, she’s still the same synth-pop queen you tore up the dance floor to back in the 90s…just with more confidence and costumes! And speaking of which, you’ll be enamored by the intense laser shows, elaborate sets, and glitzy attire she’s adopted at these Kylie Minogue concerts. 

At 56 years old, Kylie Minogue is in her prime…a true triple-threat performer that’s destined to blow the minds of both longtime and brand new fans. Whether you just began listening to her in recent years or have been a supporter since the “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” and “Especially For You” days, these shows are guaranteed to make up one of the top pop music tours of 2025. 

Justin Timberlake – Forget Tomorrow World Tour

Justin Timberlake‘s “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” kicked off in 2024, supporting his sixth album, Everything I Thought It Was, and marking his first major trek in five years. And while he faced a series of setbacks that led to rescheduling some shows until next year, the “Prince of Pop” is more than ready to return to the stage. Are you ready to hear his all-new tunes, plus old favorites like “SexyBack,” “Mirrors,” and “Better Place?” 

With his instantly-recognizable voice and talent for blurring the lines between pop and R&B, there’s no denying that Justin Timberlake is a musical icon. He began as a child on The Mickey Mouse Club and emerged as a boy band icon in the 2000s, before starting a solo career that’s helped him sell more than 100 million records worldwide. The bottom line? Justin Timberlake is a born performer; and you’ll see it firsthand with one of the top pop music tours of 2025. 

He’s set to debut new singles like “Selfish,” “No Angels,” and “Drown,” all on a floating and rotating stage that puts him face-to-face with his biggest fans. Known for his incredible live vocals and on-point dance moves that rival even those from his NSYNC days, these Justin Timberlake concerts are where major nostalgia and modern pop collide.

Dua Lipa – Radical Optimism Tour 

Can you really have a discussion about pop music in the 2020s without bringing up Dua Lipa? Her colorful fashion, husky voice, outspoken lyrics and synth-pop beats have earned a permanent place in every club in the US. And better yet, nearly every setting, from your living room to the beach to the backseat of your car, becomes your own personal dance floor when her music comes on. Now, she’s bringing these sweet moves right to your city on the “Radical Optimism tour.”

Named for her just-released third album — which earned great reviews from The Independent, Rolling Stone, and AllMusic — the Radical Optimism tour is going to be a blast. We’re expecting the brightest lights, boldest costumes, and biggest singalongs in a way that only Dua Lipa knows how! You already know that she can craft summer songs, fall favorites, and everything in between…but the truth is that Lipa’s music truly knows no bounds or eras. 

Playing off the 1970s-era psychedelia this record is based on, Dua Lipa is in her retro era. And fans can’t get enough. Expect to hear new singles like “Houdini,” “Illusion,” and “Training Session,” plus favorites from years’ past like “Levitating” and “Don’t Start Now.” Get your Dua Lipa tickets today!

Mariah Carey – The Celebration of Mimi Live in Las Vegas

We’re going to be seeing a lot of Mariah Carey in the next few months, and you won’t hear any complaining from us! The iconic songbird will embark on her annual Christmas trek at the end of 2024, performing the world-famous “All I Want For Christmas Is You” and beyond. Meanwhile, the following year will see her return to Las Vegas for her “The Celebration of Mimi Live” residency. 

Billed as a 20th anniversary celebration of Carey’s tenth record, 2005’s The Emancipation of Mimi, this residency is a journey through her epic career. With a career-spanning setlist including “Vision of Love,” “Hero,” “Dreamlover,” “Shake It Off” and “We Belong Together,” her biggest fans will want for nothing. And don’t even get us started on the sparkly costumes and surreal backdrops that Las Vegas does best. 

Whether you’re ready to see her whip out the Mrs. Clause outfit on the Christmas tour, glistening sequin dress in Las Vegas, or both, Mariah Carey is hosting some of the top pop music tours of 2025. Buy your tickets now!

Shakira – North American Tour 

Get ready to shake along to the swift beats of Shakira, because she’s hosting one of the top pop music tours of 2025! Taking place in the country’s best stadiums and arenas, the multiplatinum Latin pop star will blow us all away with her decades-long artistry. From 2000s favorites like “Hips Don’t Lie” and “Waka Waka” to modern singles from her last record, nothing is off limits on this dance-worthy expedition.

Last year was a big one for Shakira, as she released her twelfth album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, and embarked on a tour of the same name. Translated to “Women No Longer Cry” and marking her first new project in seven years, it was a deeply personal project for the singer. New singles like “Te Felicito” and “Puntería” translated her pain about relationships, fame, and legal troubles into her native Spanish, and fans have been listening on repeat ever since.

But while this album details her struggles, don’t think that it’s not fun, too! The beats mix her signature Latin pop with elements of EDM, bachata, and Reggaeton to mark new territory for Shakira. And she’s going to show fans what she’s capable of on her upcoming tour…buy your tickets now!

Zayn Malik – Stairway to the Sky Tour

Attention, ex-Directioners…Zayn Malik is returning to the stage! After a years-long hiatus from performing, he’s just released his fourth album, Room Under the Stairs, and its subsequent trek. And it’s destined to be one of the top pop music tours of 2025. With his smooth vocals, magnetic presence, and nostalgic vibes that he brings to every performance, we simply don’t see it going any other way. 

Just like his ex One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan, Malik has created a thrilling solo career with countless chart-topping singles. Blending elements of R&B, pop, and soul, tracks like “iT’s YoU,” “LIKE I Would,” and “PILLOWTALK” have been stuck in our heads for years. And with his new music, it’s safe to say that 2024 singles including “What I Am,” “Alienated,” and “Stardust” will be too. 

It’s not every day, or even year, that Zayn Malik goes on tour…so you’ll want to secure your spot before these shows sell out!
