My Chemical Romance

One of the most influential rock groups to emerge in the emo genre in the 2000s, My Chemical Romance was founded in 2001 and plunged into the scene with their goth-tinged aesthetic and anthemic writing. They saw major success early in their career, going platinum with their second album that featured hit singles like “Helena” and “The Ghost of You”. After opening for Green Day and co-headlining Warped Tour 2005 with Fall Out Boy, the band released The Black Parade, a beloved staple of the scene and their most commercially successful album to date. Citing Queen, The Cure and Iron Maiden as influences, this pivotal band “took the idea of a concept album and exploited it for the digital age” (Nylon) in a way never seen before.

Linkin Park

With hits such as "Numb," "Crawling" and "In The End," Linkin Park is a band known around the globe. The California alternative rock band set the tone in the early 2000s for a new kind of music in the pop industry. Its debut album, "Hybrid Theory," is diamond-certified, which means over 10 million copies have been sold. And in total, Linkin Park has sold over 100 million records, making them one of the best-selling musical artists in the world. The band was formed by three high school friends in 1996 under the name Xero, but exploded into success with the addition of lead singer Chester Bennington in 2000. Linkin Park continued to make music and tour up until Bennington's unexpected death in 2017. The group has been on indefinite hiatus since then. But now, Linkin Park is gearing up for its first world tour, "From Zero," since the tragedy, with vocal support from Emily Armstrong.

Metallica

If you don't get tickets to the 2024-25 Metallica tour, we'll dub you "unforgiven." Totally kidding, but you'll be missing out on seeing one of the greatest metal bands ever to perform. We've had the opportunity to experience Metallica in the mosh pit, and it truly was an energetic and explosive show. The band’s world tour, dubbed the "M72 World Tour," began its North American leg Aug. 2, 2024. Various special musical acts will join Metallica throughout the entirety of the tour, such as Pantera, the legendary heavy metal band known for its aggressive sound and powerful stage presence, and Mammoth WVH, the solo project of Wolfgang Van Halen (son of the late guitar virtuoso Eddie Van Halen). Fans can also catch lively performances from hardcore bands Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills and experience renditions of the band's classics — "Enter Sandman," "One," "Master of Puppets" and many more.

Coldplay

"Austin City Limits, ColdPlay" by Robert Scoble is licensed under CC BY 2.0.

With the release of their single "Yellow" and its accompanying minimalistic music video, British rock band Coldplay snagged a top five spot on the charts and now are part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's "Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll" exhibition. As the sixth-most awarded group in history, these alternative rockers have earned a reputation for spectacular, immersive live performances with the use of lasers, fireworks, confetti cannons and interactive LED wristbands.

And you know what might just "fix you"? Seeing Coldplay live. Well, lucky for you, the iconic British band is returning to the U.S. for the "Music of the Spheres" World Tour in 2025. This tour celebrates their tenth and newest record, "Moon Music." Chris Martin (lead singer and songwriter of Coldplay) has stated many times that after 12 full studio albums, the band will be done making records. This leaves us with two more albums to come! The U.S. leg of the "Music of the Spheres" Tour kicks off May 31, 2025, in Stanford, CA and concludes Jul. 27, 2025, in Miami, FL.

Billy Joel

Affectionately known as "Piano Man" after his signature 1973 song of the same name, Billy Joel ranks as one of the most popular recording artists and has been packing stadiums worldwide for decades. Joel has sold over 150 million albums, been awarded six Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1999. Seeing a brilliant pianist like Billy Joel in concert is a rare opportunity and he's known for making even the "cheap seats" a great seat for his performances.

Oasis

English rock-band Oasis are set to hit the road once more after their split in 2009. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher created one of the most iconic sounds of the 90s and early 2000s. It has been 35 years since the release of their highly influential record, "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?," which includes legendary songs such as "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova." The brothers have accumulated a total of ten UK #1 albums between the two of them since disbanding. Cage The Elephant joins Oasis for the highly anticipated "Live '25 Tour."

Sting

Top Rock Concerts in 2025 - Sting "Sting in April 2018" by Raph_PH is licensed under CC BY 2.0.

Sting rose to fame as the former frontman, songwriter and bassist for British New Wave rock band The Police with hit songs like "Every Breath You Take" and "Roxanne". Incorporating elements of rock, jazz, reggae and more, Sting continues to be a notable name as a solo artist. With platinum albums and Grammy awards to his name, this wide-reaching artist has also performed duets with some of the greatest names in music including Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Toby Keith and Mary J. Blige.

Styx

Top Rock Concerts in 2025 - Styx "Styx 2017" by Ralph Arvesen is licensed under CC BY 2.0.

Debuting in 1972 with their self-titled album, Chicago-based rock band Styx rose to quick prominence as they continued to release an album per year in the 1970s. Their 1977 album, The Grand Illusion, peaked at No. 6 in North America, the first of four straight multi-platinum albums that helped to launch the band into international superstardom. Known for hits like “Renegade”, “Come Sail Away” and “Mr. Roboto”, Styx found success by blending progressive rock with elements of softer and more mainstream rock, like acoustic guitar and piano, while giving their tracks a dramatic flair that borrowed from musical theater.
