Holiday Gifts for the Music Fans in Your Life

The Best Holiday-Themed Shows

If you want to honor the season in a thematically appropriate way, we’ve got you covered. Mariah Carey will begin her All I Want For Christmas Is You residency in Vegas on Nov. 22. Brett Eldridge and Il Divo both have Christmas tours, Jingle Ball is an annual dose of cheer for the whole family, and you can always rely on classics like the Nutcracker to get you into the holiday spirit.

Rock and Pop Icons

Storied acts like the Rocket Man Elton John and pop icon the Jonas Brothers continue their tours throughout 2020 and beyond with shows that spotlight some of the most iconic pop songs from past and present. Pop-punk trio Green Day will embark on the Hella Mega Tour with Weezer and Fall Out Boy next summer, Niall Horan will embark on a tour next spring, Celine Dion will take her inimitable voice around the country through the end of 2019 and into the new year and Lady Gaga will continue to showcase her experimental and classical chops during her dual Las Vegas residencies with Lady Gaga Enigma and Lady Gaga Jazz & Piano.

Ariana Grande will close out 2019 with her Sweetener tour, Tool concludes their first tour in many years this November and Chainsmokers wind down 2019 with a few shows before they hit the road again next fall.

In the world of country music, Kenny Chesney and Luke Combs both have tours that begin or extend into next year (Make sure to read our interview with Kenny Chesney’s tourmate, Michael Franti).

And, of course, pop all-star Taylor Swift will play two enormous shows in 2020, Lover Fest West and Lover Fest East. You will not want to miss her.

Festival Fever in 2020

Festivals have become a way for fans to see their favorite artists and discover up-and-coming acts while taking in eye-popping sights, inspired concessions and Instagram-worthy attractions. With many rolling onsales readily available for returning and curious new fans, Ticketmaster partners with Front Gate Tickets to streamline admission to the most premier music festivals the vast scene has to offer – from the nationally renowned (Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, EDC, Nocturnal Wonderland + Beyond Wonderland) to growing regional gems (Rolling Loud, BottleRock Napa, Tortuga, Boston Calling, Voodoo, Music Midtown) and more. Waiting for incoming lineup announcements is half the fun of the holiday season and New Year.
