For our pop fans, Conan Gray announced his “Wishbone Pajama Show” tour, set to kick off in September across North America. Hemlocke Springs will open, supporting Gray’s recently released album Wishbone, the MelodicMag.com says.

If you miss that pop-rock feel like 13-year-old me does, Australian boy band 5 Seconds of Summer revealed a 2026 world tour to go with their new single, “Telephone Busy.” The tour will include dates across Europe, the United States, and Australia. Fans also have something to look forward to next month: the band’s new album, EVERYONE’S A STAR! drops on Nov. 14, according to TheRockRevival.com.

Get ready to rock and roll, because the Foo Fighters will return with their first major stadium tour since 2024. The North American tour will feature support from Queens of the Stone Age, Mannequin Pussy, and Gouge Away. The band also released a new track, “Asking for a Friend,” according to Pitchfork.com.

Classic rock fans will welcome Bon Jovi back on the road following lead singer Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal-cord surgery. The band announced a 2026 world tour that will revisit arenas across North America and Europe, RollingStone.com reported.

Finally, heavy metal legends Iron Maiden revealed their 50th-anniversary North American tour, featuring Megadeth and Anthrax accompanying them on the tour, according to Loudwire.com.

With these major announcements, fans are already preparing for an epic year of their favorite music. Official artist websites offer the latest updates on dates, venues, and tickets. So, dust off that old band tee, put on those old ripped skinny jeans, and bring back that black eyeliner because 2026 is looking like the year of pop, rock, and metal nostalgia.
