Did you know that some studies suggest attending a concert decreases the release of cortisol and other stress hormones? As we near the two-year mark of the pandemic’s start, most of us are craving to get out and hear some live music.
Unfortunately, 2020 and 2021 forced many artists to cancel or postpone their events. But with vaccination rates rising, gathering in public is becoming safer. Thankfully, many popular artists are going on concert tours this year!
Let’s dive into six fantastic music tours you don’t want to miss in 2022.
Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish announced her sixth concert tour in May 2021. She starts her 70-stop world tour in February 2022 in New Orleans. The Happier Than Ever World Tour will feature her second studio album, Happier Than Ever (2020).
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia Tour was supposed to take place in 2020. Now the 80-show tour begins in February 2022 in Miami. This is her fifth concert tour, which promotes her second studio album Future Nostalgia (2020).
Tove Lo and Megan Thee Stallion will be two of the supporting acts on this tour.
Justin Bieber
The Biebs is finally going back on tour! The Justice World Tour was initially supposed to take place in 2020. However, Justin’s team postponed the tour to 2021 due to COVID-19, then further to 2022 amid health and safety concerns.
Finally, the 105-stop tour starts in February in San Diego. This is Justin’s fourth tour, and it promotes his fifth and sixth studio albums, Changes (2020) and Justice (2021).
