The pop chanteuse will be finishing up her tour right before summer gets here. Performing all of her biggest hits and new jams from her latest, ‘Anti’ album. Vanity Fair defined the tour’s aesthetic as “monochromatic leisure-wear clothing, definitely evoked Kanye West’s Yeezy Season collections.” @BadGalRiRi is set to perform in Dallas on May 13th, in Austin on May 14th and in Houston on May 15th. If you’re looking to party with the Roc Nation princess, you better get on it. Most of the North American dates are sold out or past!

#7 Justin Bieber Purpose World Tour

Usher’s protege was able to push through all the criticism and bad press to deliver a number one album; selling 1.6 million copies of his EP, ‘Purpose’. The mega hit ‘Sorry’, played on every radio station, was reposted on almost every teenage girl’s tumblr page and had over 1.3 billion views on Youtube. One of Pop music’s most anticipated summer tours is complete with indoor rain, a transparent cage and of course, a trampoline. The North American leg wraps up on July 19th at Madison Square Garden.

#3 Beyonce Formation Tour

Playing stadium shows across the world and collecting edges in addition to everyone’s coins, all while being a devoted mother and wife, is all in a day’s work for Lord Beyus. All faithful subjects better fall in formation in a timely manner because tickets are selling fast, only a few more U.S. dates are still available. Both the Houston and Dallas dates are SOLD OUT. Beyonce is the first woman to have 12 songs on the Hot 100 List at one time with, ‘Lemonade’. It’s also the songstress’ 6th no. 1 album with 653,000 equivalent album units within the first week. Wonder if Becky’s going *sips lemonade*…

#2 Adele Live

adele-tour-1200x600

By definition, being the most anticipated concert would also mean a sold out show; All North American Dates for ‘Adele Live’ are sold out. Adele’s album,‘25’, sold 3.4 million albums in its’ first week. This british songbird had everyone singing ‘Hello’ when picking up the phone. During a surprise show back in February, the masses flocked to her show to including star guests: Jennifer Lawrence, Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry and John Mayer. We just have one question: Is this concert considered romantic or nah?

#1 Drake Summer Sixteen Tour w/ Future

Drake is on top of the world with ‘Views’ selling an estimated 630,000 units on the first day. Aubrey’s fourth studio album is without a doubt Summer ‘16’s soundtrack. Every U.S. tour date is already sold out. This will be the third time Drizzy and Future come together for a tour – cue the flashbacks from the “Jungle” and “What Would You Like” tours. This one is easily the most anticipated/hottest concert this summer.
