Concert Craze: The Who, What, When, & Where of Upcoming 2022 Tours

The days are officially getting a little longer and being outdoors is getting a little more manageable. With these first whiffs of warmer weather, artists have started to announce their upcoming tours at a staggering pace. In fact, many have already kicked off the year by hitting the road or setting up shop (read: Katy Perry’s larger-than-life Play Las Vegas residency).

Adding to the lineup of touring artists is pop artist Halsey. The “Closer” singer announced their summer tour for their latest album If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power. The Grammy-nominated record features the standout single “I am not a woman, I’m a god,” and marked a sonic turn for the songstress.

Halsey aptly dubbed their tour the Love and Power Tour and will start on May 17 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Additionally, the tour will only take place in outdoor venues, and artists touring with the singer include one of American Songwriter’s “Artists to Watch in 2022,” PinkPantheress.
