This year is going by extremely fast, with the four “ber” months already rolling in. What is a better way to spend the last four months than seeing your favorite artists perform on stage in front of your own eyes instead of watching an hour and a half YouTube video with unnecessary 56-second unskippable ads?

There is a myriad of artists currently on tour as of this moment, but I decided to research and incorporate the six most favorable artists (no offense to the other artists, though). Each point in the article will include the upcoming dates (as tours have already started for all six artists), the start and end dates, and venues.

Planning Tips

• Check ticketing platforms such as Ticketmaster, StubHub, or the artist's official websites to see if you can buy tickets if you're planning on attending.
• If you're planning on attending the Deadline World Tour, please check visa requirements, obtain a valid visa, and make sure you have a valid passport. However, if you're attending a show in a country that requires a visa (Indonesia and China) you don't need to worry about the other countries (you just need a passport).
• If you're going outside the United States, please book tour tickets in advance, choose your travel dates, book hotels, gather travel documents, and research the destination so you can find easy transport. I recommend traveling 2-3 days before the actual show.
• Wear comfortable clothing, charge your phone up to 100%, bring a camera, and bring light snacks and water.
• Be aware of your surroundings and don't talk to anyone who looks suspicious (that's what my mother tells me).
• Arrive at the show 3-4 hours before the show starts (don't be afraid to use the bathroom or grab a bite, though).
• Do whatever security tells you to do to ensure no problems.

Have fun, and remember, do not throw anything at the performers (that's soooooo annoying).
