I’m going to let you in on a little secret: concert tickets are the ultimate present to gift. Not only are they an interactive experience that the receiver will remember forever, but they also give you (the buyer) a chance to join in on the fun — it’s really a win-win situation. Plus (and I don’t mean to make you panic), we have less than ten days until Christmas and Hanukah, so buying tickets online takes away the stress of worrying if your gift will come in on time.

If you didn’t already know, Dead & Company is a rock band founded in 2015 by members of the Grateful Dead and John Mayer.

To celebrate their tenth anniversary, the group added 18 more show dates to their Sphere residency in Las Vegas, that was originally set to end in 2024.

Give the gift of multiple concerts in one by buying them tickets to this year’s Coachella. Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott are all set to headline the three-day festival, and while tickets are selling out quickly, there are still some available for weekend one and weekend two. But just don’t make the rookie mistake of forgetting to add the shuttle and camping passes to your purchase.

My Chemical Romance hasn’t toured since 2022, so if there is a pop-punk/ emo enthusiast in your life, now is the time to grab them tickets. The alt-rock band’s 2025 concert series will pay tribute to their 2006 album, The Black Parade, and feature hit songs like “Teenagers” and “Welcome to the Black Parade.”

Grammy Award-Winning artist Tyler, The Creator is about to kick off an international tour, with the North American leg taking place from February 2025 to April 2025 (and then again from June 2025 to July 2025). And if you haven’t already guessed, tickets are selling out and fast — probably because Chromakopia is his first new album released in years. The good news is we found options still available on Ticketmaster and StubHub.

I don’t know about you, but “Not Like Us” was one of my top songs of 2024 (Spotify Wrapped told me I played it over 150 times from May to November). So naturally, when I found out Kendrick Lamar was touring in 2025, I grabbed my tickets right away. With shows planned for New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and more, the GNX singer is bringing along songstress SZA for what’s sure to be one hell of a ride.

You’re a grown adult (and if you aren’t, get off your parent’s phone), so it’s time to give your Dad something a little more creative this holiday season than the traditional pack of golf balls. Try out Metallica tickets for size. The heavy metal band will appear in 33 shows —in both the US and overseas — in 2025, so the least you can do is make sure he is at one of them.

You’ve heard that Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie,” but see it for yourself in person with tickets to her World Tour. Starting in Brazil, the “Waka Waka” singer will bring her show-stopping spectacle to a venue near you, as long as you live in North America, Latin America, Europe, and The Middle East. But don’t hesitate on grabbing tickets, since the songstress has already had to change multiple show locations due to high fan demand.
