Live shows and fan meets are back and thriving
In 2021, many of us watched different countries with envy as music festivals, world tours and concerts slowly opened up. Musicians and artists were greeted with sold-out venues and packed halls, ending their shows with the crowd singing the song back to them. Meanwhile, we wistfully and patiently waited until we got the go signal to have live shows again on our side of the globe. Then, as intimate gigs began occupying our weekends, bigger production houses started announcing plans for 2022. So from postponed concerts and fan meetings to the live show we’ve been praying for, the year is shaping into a great time to be a fan.
From Stray Kids to BLACKPINK and Backstreet Boys, we bring you the ultimate live show guide for the coming months.
