Christmas is just around the corner and, soon after that, the world will welcome the New Year.
You may be thinking about your New Year's resolutions, what you plan to see and accomplish in 2023, or maybe you're dreading starting your health kick.
One thing is for sure, music lovers are in for a treat in 2023 as some of the biggest stars in the world will be embarking on their highly anticipated tours.
From Taylor Swift to Billie Eilish, Newsweek has a list of some of the biggest tours happening in 2023.
The Biggest Tours Happening in 2023
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift announced The Eras tour in October 2022, and the demand sent Ticketmaster into a meltdown.
If you were able to grab a show on Swift's 52-date tour, you were one of the lucky ones.
Having not toured her studio albums Lover (2019), Folklore (2020), and Evermore (2020) due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Swift will use the Eras Tour to support all of the albums she's released so far, including her most-recent release, Midnights.
So far, Swift, 32, has released only her U.S. dates, with international concerts still to be announced.
The Eras Tour will begin on Friday, March 17, 2023, at State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Arizona, with Paramore and Gayle supporting, and will end on Wednesday, August 9, at SoFi Stadium, in Inglewood, California, with Haim and Gayle supporting.
Other support acts along the way include Gracie Abrams, Muna, Girl in Red, Owenn, Phoebe Bridgers, and Beabadoobee.
Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish will embark on her Happier Than Ever World Tour in 2023, with tickets going live on Monday, December 12.
Eilish has taken the tour across North America and in 2023, she will be visiting Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico between March and April.
On tour, the Grammy-winning singer, 20, will perform hits such as "Bury A Friend," "Therefore I Am" and "Bad Guy."
Harry Styles
Like Eilish, Harry Styles will be continuing his tour, called Love on Tour, way into 2023.
The Grammy-winning singer, 28, made history doing 15 consecutive nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and in 2023, he will take his show to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Europe and the U.K.
Tickets are on sale now, and you can purchase them via Harry Styles' official website.
Bruce Springsteen
Rock legend Bruce Springsteen is officially going on tour with his long-term collaborators, The E Street Band, in 2023. By the time the tour comes around, it will have been a decade since Springsteen's last global jaunt—The Wrecking Ball World Tour—in 2013.
The tour will kick off in February 2023, heading to stadiums across Europe in cities such as Rome, Spain, Copenhagen, Dublin, Paris, Barcelona and Munich, as well as some in the U.S.
The first show will be held on February 1 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, with Springsteen hitting states such as Texas, Oregon, Washington, Ohio, New York, and more.
The tour will come to an end in Monza, Italy, on July 25, 2023, at the Prato della Gerascia, Autodromo di Monza.
In a statement, Springsteen said: "After six years, I'm looking forward to seeing our great and loyal fans next year. And I'm looking forward to once again sharing the stage with the legendary E Street Band. See you out there, next year—and beyond!"
Coldplay
Coldplay will be heading to Sao Paulo, Brazil, in March 2023 to continue the Music of the Spheres tour.
The British band will then head to Portugal, Spain, the U.K., Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands.
There is good news for Coldplay fans who had tickets to see the band at LA's SoFi Stadium in April 2022. For now, the dates remain postponed, but they will be rescheduled for 2023, according to Coldplay's website.
