Maybe you're working, or taking summer classes, or both. Maybe you barely have time to go out on the weekend with your friends, or spend a day at the beach. Even if this is the case, summer is a time for relaxing, and it would be a good idea for you to make time for at least a concert or two. There are a few summer tours you shouldn't miss.
1. Halsey's Badlands Tour
She's new, so you're either a diehard fan or the only song you've heard of hers is "New Americana." Either way, you should go. And if you already listen to Lana Del Rey, Lorde, or Melanie Martinez, you're guaranteed to like Halsey as well. With shows all over the United States, you can definitely find one that works for you.
2. Justin Bieber's Purpose Tour
Yes, I understand that you listened to him when you were twelve years old, and that your little sister who is in elementary school listens to him now. I also understand that some of his recent haircuts have made him look like a less humorous Ellen DeGeneres. Regardless of these things, if you haven't heard his new album, you're living under a rock and you're missing out. And if you have heard the new album, there's a chance you want to go to the Purpose Tour already anyway.
3. Vans Warped Tour
For those of you who don't know what Warped Tour is, it's a rock music festival that travels the United States every summer. If you do know what it is, you're either planning on going, or not sure because there have been a couple years with mediocre lineups. However, that isn't an issue this time around, as many crowd favorites will be performing over the summer. I promise you'll want to go to Warped Tour within approximately thirty seconds of Google searching the lineup.
4. Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas' Future Now Tour
The argument I'm making for this tour is the same argument I'm making for Justin Bieber's tour. I understand that you most likely watched both Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas on Disney Channel when you were younger, and it's possible that Nick Jonas was your first crush. Anyway, they've both matured a lot lyrically since then, and missing out on their tour might not be a great idea.
5. Weezer & Panic! At The Disco's Summer Tour
I'm going to be honest in saying that I've never listened to Weezer, so I can't advocate for them. Panic! At The Disco, on the other hand, I can advocate for. I've been a fan since one of my friends from middle school showed me their most popular song, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." Ever since then, I've been hooked. I saw them last year at Stockton University in Galloway, New Jersey, and I promise, theirs is a show worth seeing.
So, take a day off and go to a concert this summer. If none of these look interesting to you, remember that there are many more tours to go to, you just have to look for them. Make the most of the time you have before school starts in the fall, and incorporate a concert into your busy schedule!
