It’s finally 2018, and a new year means a bunch of awesome concerts by some of your favorite musicians! Being a music lover myself, I always get excited about a new year just by thinking about all the epic music performances that will be going on. If you have the ability to see a few concerts this year, then here are a few awesome musicians that you can see perform in 2018!
1. Esperanza Spalding
The beautiful and talented Esperanza Spalding is just one of my favorite jazz musicians. If you’re into jazz like me and love the sound of the bass, then I assure you, you will not be disappointed seeing her perform. Unfortunately, all that I know so far is that she will only be performing in New York, NY on January 15th and in Portland, Oregon on February 22nd of this year. So for those who are jazz lovers and who will be in New York and Portland during these dates, definitely make sure to see her perform!
2. K. Flay and Fetty Wap
If you’re looking to go to a few Hip Hop Rap concerts this year, then K. Flay and Fetty Wap are two dope artists that are touring. Those who will be in New York, NY can see K. Flay (by the way my favorite song of hers is “Can’t Sleep”) perform on March 19th at the Irving Plaza and Fetty Wap (who is known by his song “Trap Queen”) on January 20-21st also at the Irving Plaza.
3. Steve Aoki
If you and your friends are into Electro music than seeing Steve Aoki while on tour is an absolute must! Aoki’s North American Kolony Tour, with special guest Desiigner, will begin on February 10th at Echostage in Washington, D.C. One of the greatest things you could tell someone in the future is that you got to see Steve Aoki perform in 2018.
4. Maroon 5
Adam Levine fans will be excited to hear that Maroon 5 will be touring this year. This tour is to promote their new album Red Pill Blues according to Rollingstone. Their first show will be at Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington on May 30th, so there's still plenty of time to get tickets!
5. Sam Smith
Looking for a concert where you can hear some R&B, Soul, and Pop from one artist? If so, you're in luck because Sam Smith is touring this year starting in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on June 18th at the Air Canada Centre! I just know that listening to his beautiful voice live in concert will be nothing other than an amazing experience.
6. Awolnation
Last, but not least, for all those into alternative rock, the band Awolnation will also be touring this year. According to Redbull, this tour is to support their new album, "Here Comes the Runts," and will begin in February. I know I can't wait!
There you have it; a few concerts to look forward to in 2018. I can already tell this is going to be another great year for music.
