Just recently, 100 gecs proved they could remain as weird, irreverent, and irresistible as ever with their major label debut, 10,000 gecs. Soon, they’ll seek to prove that their even crazier, prop-filled stage show remains intact as well. The North American run of 31-dates (!) kicks off on April 4th and runs through late May. — Jonah Krueger

With a new album, What Matters Most, set to arrive on June 2nd via New West Records, it looks like piano man Ben Folds will be debuting some fresh material on his Spring 2023 tour. A handful of dates will see him playing with a full orchestra, so if you happen to be in Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, and other select cities, consider it an extra treat. — Ben Kaye
black midi

The live aspect of black midi has always been paramount to their appeal. Striking the balance between ridiculously virtuosic and just plain ridiculous, their shows inspire laughs, mosh pits, and deep existential thought. With a string of dates in June and July, these sweet British lads aren’t ones you want to miss. — J.K.

Fittingly, the Bryan Adams/Joan Jett and the Blackhearts joint trek is actually called “So Happy It Hurts.” The two rock legends will tour from early June through early August, sure to bring all sorts of nostalgia to crowds across the US. — Ben K.

Cake are cooking up a new tour that will see them play sporadically in May, June, and July. Perhaps they’ll sample that follow-up to Showroom of Compassion they teased back in 2018 with their first single in seven years, “Sinking Ship.” Even if they don’t, fans know a Cake show is always a treat. — Ben K.

Veteran rockers Clutch kept active over the last years despite all the difficulties, streaming jam sessions and curating livestream events. Therefore, when it came time to re-emerge into the world, Clutch were poised, immediately lining up tour dates before dropping their latest album, Sunrise on Slaughter Beach, in 2022. Another busy year lies ahead, with the band kicking off its loaded itinerary with a North American run alongside Amigo the Devil and Nate Bergman, followed by a summer outing with Dinosaur Jr. and Red Fang. — Jon Hadusek

This one is for the Coheed faithful, as the band will be performing their seminal 2007 album Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow in its entirety (in addition to selections from 2022′s Vaxis II: A Window of the Waking Mind). — J.H.

The temperature outside is rising, which means it’s time for the individual members of Dave Matthews Band to emerge from their respective burrows, grab their instruments, and head out on tour. This year, things kick off in The Woodlands, Texas on on May 19th. While the band will undoubtedly sprinkle fan favorites and deep cuts from their expansive catalog into their setlists, you’ll probably also get a chance to see them play cuts off their upcoming 10th studio album, Walk Around the Moon, which drops the same day as the tour kickoff. — S.D.

The 29-date outing will see the pop punk icons joined by the likes of Alkaline Trio, Bring Me the Horizon, and Royal & The Serpent — but it looks like longtime guitarist Joe Trohman won’t be with them, as he recently stepped away from the band for his mental health. — Ben K.

Okay, admittedly, this one is cheating a little bit. Stevie Nicks kicked off two tours in early March, one a solo headlining trek and another a co-headlining run with Billy Joel. So technically she’s already out there, which should disqualify her for this list — but she’s Stevie Nicks. And she’s touring with Billy Joel.

The Cure’s first North American tour in seven years has already caused enough drama for a month of blue Mondays and gray Tuesdays after frontman Robert Smith protested Ticketmaster’s service fees “debacle.” In the process, he earned fans $5-10 in refunds, and now expectations for the tour are only matched by earned goodwill. Of course, outside of select markets (New York, Illinois, and Colorado), tickets can’t be transferred or sold on seconday platforms, so you’ll have to use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange if you didn’t get in on the original on-sale. — Wren Graves
