"Seasonal depressing hitting hard? Let live music be your salve. This year's offerings include your requisite anniversary treks (Cat Power for The Greatest's 20th; Belle and Sebastian's twin 30th celebration for If You're Feeling Sinister and ); a pop star's last hurrah-at least "for a long, long, long, long time (Ariana Grande); and an indie royalty team-up (a co-headlining run for collaborators/labelmates MJ Lenderman and Waxahatchee). You can learn more about those and many more in our rundown below."
"After more than seven years, Alabama Shakes have started to brush off the dust. In 2025, the band-who hadn't put out any new music since 2015's Sound & Color-shared the song " Another Life " and embarked on their first tour since 2017. Their return to the stage continues this year with another slate of North American shows set for the spring, including two nights at Red Rocks, plus a smattering of dates supporting country superstar Zach Bryan. -Walden Green"
"Yes, it's true: Ariana Grande said her upcoming shows-marking her first tour in seven years-are more of a "last hurrah." On Amy Poehler's podcast, Grande admitted another run "might not happen again for a long, long, long, long time." Technically, she's only playing 11 cities this summer before heading back to her Oscar-nominated career. But don't view the two jobs as diverging routes."
Live music offerings include anniversary treks, comeback tours, farewell runs, and co-headlining indie bills. Cat Power and Belle and Sebastian plan milestone performances. Ariana Grande is staging an 11-city tour she described as a "last hurrah," and she credits work on Wicked with healing her relationship to music and live performance. MJ Lenderman and Waxahatchee will co-headline a collaborative run. Alabama Shakes released "Another Life," resumed touring after years without new music, and will play spring North American dates including Red Rocks and support slots for Zach Bryan. Autechre mapped a TwentyTwentySix live tour across Europe and Japan aiming for a career-peak headline show.
