Your fave is hitting the road and (yay!) you’ve *actually* managed to snag tix. The hard part may be over (looking at you, endless online queue)—but there’s still so much to prep.
Concerts are about so much more than just the music: They’re an excuse to play dress-up, bond with fellow fans and maybe even witness a soon-to-be viral moment (think: the “Fearless” heart hands or “Where’s my Sally tonight?”).
So while you’re busy planning the group chat and manifesting your dream surprise song, we’ve got the rest covered. We’re breaking down the most anticipated tours of 2026— plus everything you need (short of a backstage pass) to make the most of the night.
Stars Align Tour (June 2026 to November 2026)
Clad in shimmery skater dresses and surrounded by twinkly lights, Freya Skye low-key gives angel onstage (and, let’s be real, she’s got the voice to match). Don’t sleep on seeing this Disney darling at a smaller, more intimate venue—it might be your last chance before she completely blows up.
Dress Code: One word: metallics. Hair tinsel, holographic fabrics and anything glow-in-the-dark will have you looking totally out of this world.
Phones Down For: “Silent Treatment.” Pro tip: After Freya sings the first line of the second chorus, she’ll pause. That’s the Skyelights’ cue to fall, well, silent. Actual chills.
Together, Together Tour (May 2026 to December 2026)
A giant disco emceed by Harry Styles himself? Say less. Given the beat-driven bop on KATTDO, we’re betting you leave this show with some brand new moves (and slightly sore legs).
Dress Code: Your high-waisted bell bottoms have been waiting for this. Pair them with anything bedazzled or, in true Love On Tour fashion, a feather boa.
Phones Down For: “Matilda.” We are very happy to report that the Harry’s House heart-melter has made the set list. Link arms with the other Harries in your row, then let the chorus—and the tears—take over. We won’t judge.
Worlds Collide Concert Tour (September 2026 to December 2026)
As if last summer’s Worlds Collide couldn’t get any bigger, this incarnation brings back fan-favorite cast members (hi Dara, Malachi and Mekonnen) and the most-played songs from Descendants, Zombies and—new for 2026—Camp Rock.
Dress Code: Choose your fighter: Disney villain, Camp Rock camper or your favorite creature from the Zombies universe. We’re leaning mermaidcore, complete with iridescent sequins and glitter freckles, as an homage to the finned friends making waves in Z5.
Phones Down For: The new mashups. We heart a franchise crossover, and where else are you going to hear a vampire serenade a VK?
The Wildworld Tour (September 2026 to November 2026)
International girl group Katseye (that’s Daniela, Megan, Yoonchae, Lara and Sophia) is showing no signs of slowing down. And trust us: You’re not ready to see how synched up this squad is onstage.
Dress Code: Maximalist mode, activated. Tassels and fringe will be super satisfying as you bounce along to the beat.
Phones Down For: “Gnarly,” aka the song that started it all. Can confirm: Katseye hits every single mark with near-robotic precision. It’s one of those things you have to witness IRL to actually believe.
The Unraveled Tour (September 2026 to May 2027)
Anyone who’s watched Netflix’s Guts Tour film knows that Olivia Rodrigo’s live presence is electric. Whether she’s belting a breakup anthem or stomping across the stage (see: the “Love Is Embarrassing” dance break), singing along with her is practically guaranteed to be cathartic.
Dress Code: Frills, in all their forms (A ruffled top! A babydoll dress! A flouncy mini!), to channel the angels on the walls of Versailles. Pair with combat boots or a leather bomber jacket for peak punk-princess energy.
Phones Down For: “Begged.” A moment to appreciate Liv’s dreamy raw vocals, pls.
BTS World Tour Arirang (April 2026 to March 2027)
It’s the comeback we’ve all been waiting for. No matter your bias, you’ll swoon over all seven K-pop kings and their trademark razor-sharp choreo. And thanks to the 360-degree stage setup, there’s not a bad seat in the house.
Dress Code: Match the edgy aura of the group’s latest album, Arirang, in layered tops, baggy cargos and chunky jewelry (multiple rings are a must).
Phones Down For: The “karaoke” segment, where two songs are chosen in real time by lucky ARMY members. Every show gets its own surprise soundtrack—talk about a one-of-a-kind concert experience.
You Are The Reason Tour (July 2026 to November 2026)
Even before Taylor Swift named him as one of her favorite songwriters, we were hooked on Sombr. The indie-pop star puts on a show that’s equal parts captivating and chaotic. (Case in point: He’s been known to launch a mic stand or two.)
Dress Code: Category is…rockstar GF (for, ahem, no particular reason). Opt for messy waves, lived-in Levi’s and a distressed jersey.
Phones Down For: “Back to Friends.” You can count on Sombr to catch some serious air before that final chorus. IYKYK.
So it’s your first show ever…
Heed our tried-and-true tips, and this just might be the best night of your life.
Do: Grab dinner beforehand. Your concert crew will need a hearty meal to fuel hours of dancing.
Don’t: Bring a big purse. Venues often have strict bag policies, so a mini wristlet (preferably a clear one) is a safer bet.
Do: Check your phone storage. And bring a portable charger. That way you can snap all the group pics and Snapchat memories your heart desires.
Don’t: Split off alone. The buddy system will prevent anyone getting lost during bathroom breaks or visits to the merch booth.
Do: Have earplugs on hand. Sometimes you don’t realize until you arrive that your seat is under a ginormous speaker.
Don’t: Post immediately. Watch your vids back (with audio) before hitting “Share.” Otherwise, you risk the internet hearing your vocals at full volume…
