From the looks of it, 2024 is going to be another year full of memorable performances from some of the biggest artists in the industry.

However, it’s following a record-breaking year for several top performers, including Taylor Swift, who embarked on the first U.S. leg and Latin America leg of her Eras Tour, as well as Beyoncé, who performed across the globe for her Renaissance World Tour. Harry Styles’ massive Love on Tour also wrapped last year, as well as tours from Karol G, Doja Cat, Janelle Monáe, John Mayer and more.

Those are just a few of the tours throughout 2023 that brought millions of fans together for great vibes, memories and music. Concert tours serve not only as an opportunity for artists to promote their latest albums or highlight their entire music catalogs, but it’s also a time for their fans to celebrate their favorite performers all together under the same roof.

But the new year is fully packed with even more concerts, tours, festivals and events for music lovers all around, no matter what genre they’re interested in. Just some of the artists hitting the road in 2024 are Bad Bunny, Olivia Rodrigo, Drake, Noah Kahan, Madonna, The Rolling Stones, Morgan Wallen, Blink-182, Red Hot Chili Peppers and, of course, Swift, who is finishing out her Eras Tour.

Ticket site Gametime also highlighted some of the most anticipated tours this year, based on median ticket prices, and to no surprise, artists including Swift, Rodrigo, Bad Bunny, The Eagles, Wallen and Billy Joel are in the top 10.

Although they’re not touring across the country or globe, several artists also have Las Vegas residencies this year, including Adele, Maroon 5, Christina Aguilera, Miranda Lambert, Mariah Carey, Carrie Underwood, Rod Stewart, Kelly Clarkson, Luke Bryan, Shania Twain, Bruno Mars, Kylie Minogue and U2.

As music fans gear up for tour announcements from their favorite artists, rumors of the artists touring in 2024 are beginning to circulate. Vivid Seats breaks down the key confirmed 2024 concert tours as well as the most anticipated rumored concerts in 2024.

• Latin Tour Predictions
• Pop Tour Predictions

• R&B Tour Predictions
• Rock Tour Predictions

Alternative 

Fall Out Boy usually tours at least every other year. The band toured throughout 2023 on their So Much For (Tour) Dust tour and has extended their tour into 2024. 

Tour Likelihood:  Tour Confirmed

Taylor Swift praised Girl In Red’s If I Could Make It Go Quiet on Instagram after the Norwegian singer’s debut album came out in 2021. Now, she’s opening for Taylor Swift on her Eras tour. As she experiences continued success stateside, a 2024 tour for Girl In Red could be in the works. 

Tour Likelihood: Likely 

In July 2021, Green Day embarked on their Hella Mega tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer. The tour was a smashing success, selling out iconic stadiums like Chicago’s Wrigley Field and Boston’s Fenway Park. In October 2023, Green Day announced that they will be going back on the road next year in support of the 30th anniversary of the band's breakout album, "Dookie." 

Tour Likelihood:  Tour Confirmed

Since the release of her critically acclaimed debut 2017’s Stranger in the Alps , Phoebe Bridgers has gained mainstream recognition. In the years since releasing S tranger in the Alps , she’s collaborated with SZA, racked up Grammy nominations, and toured the country. Now she’s set to release a new album, The Record , which could lead perfectly into a tour announcement once she’s done touring with Taylor Swift this summer. 

Tour Likelihood: Highly Likely 

Their last headlining tour was in 2019, so Weezer seems like a good bet to tour in 2024. A strong hint lending credence to Weezer concert tour rumors came in December 2022, when lead singer Rivers Cuomo told Consequence of Sound that they’re right on the verge of a “ big tour announcement .”

Carrie Underwood has captivated audiences throughout her Las Vegas residency, which has been a staple in Sin City since 2021. The country superstar has announced additional dates to her residency, which will run thorugh August 2024 at Resorts World Theatre.     

Since Kacey Musgraves wrapped up her 2022 Star-Crossed tour, fans have been getting antsy for a new album from the country singer. Kacey Musgraves’ last album was released in 2021, so new music and a supporting 2024 tour could be down the road.  

Tour Likelihood: Possible 

Topping the list of best 2024 country concert tours would be a Luke Combs tour. In addition to releasing a new album in 2023, the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year is on a massive world tour through October 2023. Thankfully, Luke Combs has toured consistently since 2019, so it’s likely that he will add more tour dates to his schedule in 2024.  

Shania Twain’s 2023 Queen of Me tour will mark the first time fans around the world will get to see the queen in nearly five years, following a highly successful Las Vegas residency run. Given that the Queen of Me tour runs through November 2023, Shania Twain may take some time off before returning to Las Vegas for more residency performances.  

The rumors of an AC/DC tour have been ongoing. However, the legendary band has been tight-lipped about its plans. While it’s not surprising for a band to keep future touring and recording plans under wraps, it seems unlikely that AC/DC will tour in 2024.  

Tour Likelihood: Unlikely 

Iron Maiden wrapped their long-running Legacy of the Beast world tour in 2022. Shortly after the tour concluded, Iron Maiden’s manager revealed in a thank you note to fan s that the heavy metal band’s upcoming tour will extend beyond 2023 and into 2024, although exactly where the tour will continue has not yet been announced.  

Metallica will head out on their M72 tour, which kicks off in April 2023 and runs through 2024. The legendary heavy metal act is playing two nights in every city and is performing different setlists for each of the two nights.  

Tour Likelihood: Confirmed 

It seems as if a Rammstein 2024 tour is bound to happen. The German hard rock group will bring their ongoing tour back to Europe in 2023. The group behind the uber-popular song “Du Hast” did a handful of shows in the U.S. in 2022, so 2024 seems like a good time for the band to make their way back stateside.  

K-Pop 

BLACKPINK has earned the title of the “ World’s Biggest Girl Group ” for a reason. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa are set to headline Coachella 2023, where they will make history as the first K-pop headlining act. They are also in the midst of their BORN PINK world tour, which is their last official project with YG Entertainment before their contract expires. BLINKs will have to patiently wait to see what the future entails for the group. 

Since BTS wrapped up their Permission to Dance Concerts in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, ARMYs are eager for a 2024 tour announcement. Unfortunately, BTS announced that they will be taking a break for an indefinite period , but ARMYs should expect solo tour announcements from different members of the group in 2024.   

Tour Likelihood: Highly Unlikely 

Following the release of his debut solo album, Jack in the Box , in July 2022, BTS’ J-Hope made history by performing at Lollapalooza 2022. News of J-Hope’s solo Lollapalooza set begged a question for ARMY: Will he embark on a solo tour? It’s a fair question as many artists follow up high-profile music festival performances with a series of concerts. However, J-Hope has said in interviews that he’s not ready for a solo world tour yet.  

SUGA will become the first BTS member to embark on a solo tour, with a slate of dates scheduled around the world in 2023. 2023 has been quite the year for SUGA, and there is no doubt that momentum will continue into 2024. 

TWICE will embark on its highly anticipated Ready to Be world tour, marking the K-pop girl group’s fifth world tour and its largest so far. They will also make history as the first K-pop girl group to perform at SoFi Stadium and MetLife Stadium. The tour is likely to go into 2024, with more tour dates to be released. 

BTS labelmates TxT went from watching BTS’ concert at Soldier Field to performing at Lollapalooza in three years. On top of becoming the first K-pop group to perform at the iconic festival, they’ve launched two popular tours in the past two years. Given that TxT consistently tours and releases new music, another TxT tour could be in store for MOAs in 2024.

Tour Likelihood: Likely    

Latin 

After two major back-to-back tours in 2022, Bad Bunny said he’s “ taking a break ” in 2023. He’ll likely use the time to rest up and record new music for fans, so could a 2024 tour be in the picture? Signs are pointing to another massive world tour from Bad Bunny next year, which could end up being one of the hottest tours of 2024.  

Tour Likelihood: Possible

Karol G first toured the U.S. in 2018 on her Unstoppable tour, visiting bars and clubs across the country. Four years later, she went on to sell out arenas across the country on her Bichota tour. A Karol G tour in 2024 should happen, given her meteoric rise, though tour dates have yet to be announced.  

Maluma’s next album is slated for release in 2023, according to Billboard . Maluma has embarked on five world tours throughout his nearly two-decade-long career but has not toured since 2021. Since a new album is on the way, fans are hoping that Maluma launches a stadium tour in 2024. 

Adele plans to go easy on herself after concluding her Las Vegas residency in March 2023. At the Los Angeles premier of her new music video for “I Drink Wine,” Adele held a Q&A session with fans and revealed her post-residency agenda. Instead of working on her next album or touring, the singer-songwriter intends to get a degree in English literature. 

Will Ariana Grande tour in 2024? That’s the question that Ariana Grande fans around the world are asking. The Grammy award-winning songstress last toured in 2019 in support of her albums Sweetener and Thank U, Next . Ariana Grande is headed from the recording studio to the big screen to star as Glinda in the film adaptation of Wicked . The pop star told People Magazine that she won’t create a new album until Wicked is finished, so it’s unlikely that she’ll tour in 2024.

Harry Styles will be on tour through July 2023 for his previously announced Love on Tour shows in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. However, there has been some chatter among Harries that a Harry Styles stadium tour could be on the horizon. Given that Harry Styles will be on the road for much of 2023, the next tour could very well be in 2024, allowing the pop phenomenon to take some time off to continue writing new music.   

Lana Del Rey has not toured since her 2019 Norman Fucking Rockwell tour, so fans would definitely agree that she ought to consider a 2024 tour. The “Brooklyn Baby” singer announced that she will follow her 2021 release Blue Banisters with Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd . With a refreshed catalog and fans hungry after a few years without a headlining tour, a Lana Del Rey 2024 tour has a good shot at happening.   

Miley Cyrus is in her new album era. Endless Summer Vacation is Miley Cyrus’ first album release since 2020’s Plastic Heart s. With the emergence of her brand-new material, it is likely that Miley Cyrus will be touring next summer.  

It’s been nearly two years since Olivia Rodrigo dropped her debut album Sour , but Livies believe that new music (and likely a tour) is finally on the way from the pop star. The speculation arose when the singer sent a special video message to her fans as part of 2022’s Spotify Wrapped, hinting that 2023 will bring new music. If Olivia Rodrigo releases new music in 2023, it is likely that she’ll tour in the first half of 2024.  

olivia rodrigo's message for her top listeners #SpotifyWrapped pic.twitter.com/4BHs9o0XBE — best of olivia rodrigo (@filesrodrigo) November 30, 2022

Tour Likelihood:  Highly Likely

Following the release of her intimate documentary, “My Mind and Me,” Selena Gomez is working on her fourth studio album. While the pop star hasn’t announced an official album title or release date, she revealed on Jimmy Fallon that she’s “ open to a tour, a thousand percent .”  

Rap/Hip Hop 

Could we finally be getting a Cardi B tour and new music in 2024? It’s been four years since Cardi B released her debut album, Invasion of Privacy , but fans believe that new music is definitely on the way after seeing a glimpse of her new at-home recording studio . Cardi B has not toured since 2019, so a Cardi B 2024 tour would almost unquestionably be one of the biggest rap/hip hop tours of 2024.   

The attention on Dominic Fike has steadily grown since the release of his EP Don’t Forget About Me . From releasing his debut album What Could Possibly Go Wrong to selling out his Rain or Shine tour, Dominic Fike shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. If Dominic Fike were to hit the road in 2024, it would mark one of the most anticipated tours in 2024.  

Drake and 21 Savage fans are making plans to attend the duo’s reported It’s All a Blur tour after screenshots of supposed show dates leaked online in January 2023. According to the screenshots, the tour was expected to kick off in May 2023. Since Drake hasn’t announced a 2023 tour yet, a 2024 seems more likely. It is only a matter of time before fans get the much-anticipated confirmation that Drake and 21 Savage are, in fact, touring.  

#Drake and @21savage ’s “It’s All A Blur Tour” is starting this May in Chicago… y’all going to see the ‘Her Loss’ duo live? ð???ð?§? #OGM pic.twitter.com/gxiPipTZ0e — Our Generation Music (@OGMusicCo) January 22, 2023

Tour Likelihood:  Highly Likely 

Many fans were hoping Rihanna’s Super Bowl performance would launch an announcement of a world tour or new album, but none of those big moments materialized after the show. In an interview with British Vouge, Rihanna said her last album, Anti , was her “most brilliant” album and she’s had a hard time being comfortable to put out more work. However, she did say that she wants to release new music in 2023. It looks like RiRi fans will be getting new music in 2023 or 2024, but likely not a tour.

Tour Likelihood: Highly Unlikely  

Chlöe and her sister Halle earned praise in 2018 by serving as an opening act during Beyonce’s OTR II tour. Now Chlöe is ready to strike out on her own in 2023. With the release of her debut solo album, In Pieces , a 2024 Chlöe tour seems like the right time for her to showcase her individual talents. 

Seven years after the release of his second studio album, Blonde , Frank Ocean is returning to headline Coachella 2023. Given the “Pink + White” singer’s unpredictability when it comes to album releases, we can’t be sure he plans to release new music (or tour dates) ahead of his headlining performance. 

Perhaps no female artist has been a faster riser than SZA, who went from up-and-coming, genre-defying artist to collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna. As one of the top artists in the R&B space, a 2024 SZA tour is a virtual lock.  

Elton John announced his three-year Farwell Yellow Brick Road tour in 2018, and will be performing live until his tour wraps for good in Sweden in July 2023. Upon wrapping his globe-spanning farewell tour, Elton John is ready to take a step back. While appearing on the Hits Radio Breakfast show with Fleur East, the “Rocket Man” singer shared that he is going to go “ on a bit of a hiatus ” after he finishes his last show in Stockholm.    

Pearl Jam fans might have to wait until 2024 for a new album. Stone Gossard confirmed that the band is currently working on their next album following their 2020 album, Gigaton . Pearl Jam toured arenas in support of Gigato n, so it’s likely they will also tour in support of a new album as well.   

The Rolling Stones have toured every year since 2012 (except 2020 as dates were postponed to 2021 ). After much anticipation, the Rolling Stones are hitting the road in 2024 in support of their latest album Hackney Diamonds .

Artists Who Are Going On Tour In 2024: The Rolling Stones, Drake, Olivia Rodrigo & More

The year is just getting started, but 2024 is already stacked with exciting tours. Open up your calendar and start planning with this sprawling list of announced 2024 tours.

Just a couple of years ago, live music still looked uncertain — would variant X, Y or Z derail the train for the umpteenth time? But in that regard, 2023 felt almost totally in the clear — and that's why it feels like the rubber band is stretched back for 2024, and it's ready to launch.

Sure, compiling every musical act who's touring in 2024 might be impossible. But GRAMMY.com's stylistic purview is far and wide: country, hardcore, soul, R&B, rap, indie rock, you name it. As such, we're giving it our best shot — and will continue to update the list as more tours are announced.

Without further ado, here's a major cross section of the 2024 touring landscape as currently announced — from Alvvays to Adam Ant , from Def Leppard to Danny Brown.

Jon Batiste : UNEASY Tour Feb. 16 - April 27 U.S.

Leap Into AAPI Month 2024 With A Playlist Featuring Laufey, Diljit Dosanjh, & Peggy Gou

Celebrate AAPI artists this May with a genre-spanning playlist spotlighting festival headliners and up-and-coming musicians. From Korean hip-hop to Icelandic jazz-pop, listen to some of the most exciting artists from the Asian diaspora.

With spring just around the corner, it’s time to welcome AAPI Month in full blossom. From rising musical artists to inspiring community leaders, it’s essential to recognize AAPI members of the artistic world and their achievements.

While AAPI Month is a U.S. holiday, the Recording Academy takes a global approach in celebrating artists and creators from across the Asian and Asian American diaspora. This aligns with the Recording Academy's growing mission to expand its reach on a global scale and celebrate international creators outside of the U.S.  

Musicians of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander heritage have not only helped establish the music industry, but have transformed it. From Diljit Dosanjh being the first artist to play a Coachella set entirely in Punjabi to Laufey winning a GRAMMY for her jazz-inspired pop, AAPI artists continue to influence music by both honoring tradition and reshaping modern standards.

It’s thrilling to see AAPI musicians continue to take centerstage — from Atarashi Gakko! to Tiger JK ’s memorable sets at Coachella, to surprise appearances from Olivia Rodrigo , Dominic Fike , and Towa Bird. As festival season gets underway, examples of the AAPI starpower from every corner of the world abound.

As one of many ways to celebrate AAPI Month, listen to the GRAMMY.com playlist below — as a reminder to give AAPI musicians not just their May flowers, but their flowers all year-round!

Chappell Roan's Big Year: The 'Midwest Princess' Examines How She Became A Pop "Feminomenon"

Just after Chappell Roan made her festival debut at Coachella, hear from the pop starlet about some of the defining moments of her career thus far — and how it all helped earn her a spot at one of music's biggest fests.

Before this year, Chappell Roan had never even been to Coachella. Now, not only can she say she's attended — she's performed in the desert, too. 

Roan played an evening set on the Gobi Stage on April 12, and is set to return for Weekend 2. Fans clad in everything from cowboy boots, Sandy Liang-inspired bows and, perhaps most importantly, jorts, gathered to celebrate their shared love of Roan's radiance, karmic kink and gay cowgirl doctrine.  

Throughout her performance, bubbles breezed through the air as Roan belted out her infectious (and aptly titled) track "Femininomenon," which speaks to lover girls forced to live in an online-dating hellscape. "Ladies, you know what I mean?/ And you know what you need and so does he/ But does it happen? No!" Following collective screams of pure joy, the already enlivened crowd roused to match Roan beat-for-beat, shouting back in perfect unison, "Well, what we really need is a femininomenon!" 

In an era of bedroom pop and sad-girl music, Roan has been hailed by both critics and fans for bringing fun back to pop music. Along with her staunch sense of self, Roan's penchant for explicit lyrics that are equally parts introspective and horny makes her dance-pop anthems all the more infectious. 

Roan's ambitiously experimental debut album, 2023's The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess , cemented her status as one of the most exciting pop stars on the rise. While she only recently landed her first single on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Good Luck, Babe!," her rapidly growing fan base — and an opening slot on Olivia Rodrigo's sold-out GUTS World Tour — indicate that she's on her way to superstardom .

Perhaps part of Roan's magic is that it was all on her own terms. After parting ways with her first label, Atlantic Records, she built a loyal following as an independent artist before signing with Island Records last year. Even as a major label artist, she's determined to only do things her way; her indefatigable commitment to her craft — as well as writing her own rules when it comes to fashion and makeup — is precisely why her fans are so enraptured by both her music and persona. 

Her fearlessness was on full display during her first Coachella set, where the words emblazoned on her bodysuit read "Eat Me." She talks the talk, and walks the walk (in fabulous, knee-high boots, of course), matching her unabashed aesthetic with equally bold career moves; for one, the openers for her headlining tour are local drag queens.

With eyeliner winged to the heavens, near-perfect vocal stability and fiery curls ablaze, Roan's shimmering Coachella Weekend 1 performance proved that her stage presence is equally dynamic. And if she had any doubters, she had one thing to say to them: "B—, I know you're watching!" 

In between rehearsals for her Coachella debut, Roan took a look back on her journey to one of music's most coveted stages. Below, hear from Roan about five of the most impactful milestones in her career — so far. 

Releasing Her Debut Album, The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess

I ended up signing [with Island Records in 2023] because this project honestly got too big to be independent anymore. I just wasn't willing to give up anything, any creative control or for any amount of money. 

Being an independent artist was really special because I proved to myself that I could do all these hard things that I had never done. I built it with an entire friend group and many, many years of work. So it wasn't just me, but it proved a lot to me.

It proved I can make it through hard circumstances — with no money. You truly can. You do not need a label to do a lot of what an artist's career requires. You don't need a label to put on your own show, or make a music video, or even write a song, or find creative people. You don't need that s—t. I mean, a label is just money, you know? You don't need a lot of money to do this. To make it grow is, I think, where it takes a lot of money. That's what was difficult.

Music allows me to express anything, even things that I've never experienced before. It allows me to express queerness, even if it was only daydreams at that point. It allows me to express parts of me that I'm not even ready to accept yet.

I don't give a f— if you don't  f— with the music. You don't have to come to the concert. That's the whole point of it. You don't have to like it. I think throughout the year, I'm like, "What can I get away with?" Because right now it's pretty tame for what it is like to be a gay artist. But I just want to push it to see how far can I go — with the most controversial outfits or things to rile people up. I'm not really afraid to do that.

Having a song [like "Casual] with the lyric, "Knee deep in the passenger seat/ And you're eating me out," and it's being considered to go to radio. That's kind of a big thing to get away with. 

It's not even that big of a thing. What's that song? Is it Flo Rida ? That's like, "Can you blow my whistle, baby/ whistle baby." Okay, that's obviously about like a f—ing blowjob. [ Laughs .] No one cares about that. To me, I'm like, Let's talk about eating out on the radio . I actually think it has to be bleeped, but still, if I can get away with it, that's cool.

Feeling Financial Freedom & Stability

Not making money at all just sucked. But I learned how to do my own makeup and bedazzle and sew a little bit. I think that the scrappiness came from [the idea that] it's scrappy if it's fun. 

I think that's what kept me going — because if this wasn't fun, I would not even be here. But it was scrappy and fun, and it was with my friends. It didn't feel dire. I was also just working at a coffee shop, and I was a nanny, and I was working at a donut shop. I was doing part time jobs all on the side too. So it was all just rough [in the beginning].

I have freedom because now [singing] is my full-time job. It provides for me now. As the project grows, I can do bigger shows and be like, I want outfit changes now , and I want more lights, and I want confetti . I can afford confetti now! 

It's about expanding the universe in a thoughtful way. And not just like throwing a s— ton of money at things to make things look expensive or wear all this designer s— for no reason. 

I just try to look at how we are starting to gain momentum financially and see how can I intentionally use that to, one, pay the team in a way where they're not bare bones anymore, and two, [ask ourselves] how can we honor this project and this album and the queer community? Can we pay drag queens more? Can we bring drag on the road? Now, financially, doors have opened where we can walk through them with love and intention. Just recklessly, throwing money at s— to see if it works.

Opening Olivia Rodrigo's Arena Tour

Olivia [Rodrigo] just asked. It was official, we went through our management. But I was like, Oh my God . 

Preparing a 40-minute set is a different vibe than headlining, obviously. You are going out to an audience that is not there for you and doesn't necessarily care if you're there or not.

This is, like, my fourth or fifth artist I've opened for. But for an arena tour, I just needed to gather my nerves. I think that's the difference between any other show. Like, F—, there's 20,000 people out there right now. I've never performed in front of that many people. I don't know what this emotion is, and I just have to tame it right now.

Standing Up For Herself Creatively, Even When There's Pushback

I stand up for myself, I would say, every day. Sometimes, you get this opportunity, a huge opportunity with a lot of money on the table. [Yet,] I'm just like, That just doesn't make sense creatively. That doesn't align with my values. I'm not doing that.  

One huge creative decision was I stood up and pushed the entire headlining Midwest Princess tour back to the fall. The album was supposed to come out while we were on tour. I was like, "This is a horrible idea!" 

That caused a big ruckus, but it ended up being fine, and I was right. I'm usually right. [ Laughs .] It's like a mother with her kid — a mother knows best. I feel like [that] when it comes to the integrity of my project.

I know how it is to not be able to afford a ticket or even f—ing food. A concert ticket, a lot of times, means multiple meals for someone. I get it, I couldn't afford some artists' tickets. That's why it's really important to me to try to keep them as low as I can and my merch as low as I can. 

There's pushback of ticket prices being low and we're playing rooms that are so expensive. The fee to even play them is so expensive. So, you have to raise the ticket prices to just even be able to afford to play the room. There's always an argument [with my team] there, every tour. I'm in control of stuff and if I'm saying this is how it's going to be —- it's just going to be that way.

Performing At Coachella For The First Time 

[After the first weekend of Coachella] I am feeling very relieved. I was so stressed about many things. How is the outfit going to work? Will the crowd really be engaged? It went so well, I have no qualms with anything. I loved every second of it.

It feels like I am partying with [my fans]. I am not performing to them; I’m performing with them. [I want people to remember] a really fun, freeing show. Very campy but very meaningful too.

From vinyl records by the 1975 and U2 , to album reissues and previously unreleased music, record stores around the world are stocking limited and exclusive releases for Record Store Day 2024 . 

The first Record Store Day kicked off in 2008 and every year since, the event supporting independently owned record stores has grown exponentially.

In honor of Record Store Day 2024 on April 20, here are 10 limited and exclusive drops to watch out for when browsing your local participating record store. 

David Bowie — Waiting in the Sky (Before The Starman Came To Earth

British glam rocker David Bowie was a starman and an icon. Throughout his career, he won five GRAMMY Awards and was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. 

On RSD 2024, Bowie's estate is dialing it back to his Ziggy Stardust days to make Waiting in the Sky (Before The Starman Came To Earth) available for the first time. The record features recordings of Bowie's sessions at Trident Studios in 1971, and many songs from those sessions would be polished for his 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars . 

The tracklisting for Waiting in the Sky differs from Ziggy Stardust and features four songs that didn’t make the final album.

Talking Heads — Live at WCOZ 77

New York City-based outfit Talking Heads defined the sound of new wave in the late '70s and into the next decade. For their massive influence, the group received two GRAMMY nominations and was later honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021.

While promoting their debut album Talking Heads: 77 , the quartet recorded a live performance for the New Albany, Pennsylvania radio station WCOZ in 1977. The Live at WCOZ 77 LP will include 14 songs from that performance at Northern Studios, including seven that will be released for the first time. Among the previously unheard cuts are " Love Goes To A Building On Fire" and "Uh-Oh, Love Comes To Town." During that session, Talking Heads also performed songs like "Psycho Killer" and "Pulled Up."

The Doors — Live at Konserthuset, Stockholm, September 20, 1968

The Doors were at the forefront of the psychedelic rock movement of the 1960s and early '70s. One of Jim Morrison 's most epic performances with the band will be available on vinyl for the first time. 

Live at Konserthuset, Stockholm, September 20, 1968 includes recordings from a radio broadcast that was never commercially released. The 3-LP release includes performances of songs from the Doors’ first three albums, including 1967’s self-titled and Strange Days . In addition to performing their classics like "Light My Fire" and "You're Lost Little Girl," the Doors and Morrison also covered "Mack the Knife" and Barret Strong's "Money (That's What I Want)" live during this session. 

Dwight Yoakam — The Beginning And Then Some: The Albums of the '80s

Over the course of his 40-year career, country music icon Dwight Yoakam has received 18 GRAMMY nominations and won two golden gramophones for Best Male Country Vocal Performance in 1994 and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals in 2000.

On Record Store Day 2024, Yoakam will celebrate the first chapter of his legacy with a new box set: The Beginning And Then Some: The Albums of the '80s . His debut album Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. and 1987’s Hillbilly Deluxe will be included in the collection alongside exclusive disc full of rarities and demos. The 4-LP set includes his classics like "Honky Tonk Man," "Little Ways," and "Streets of Bakersfield." The box set will also be available to purchase on CD.  

The Beatles — The Beatles Limited Edition RSD3 Turntable

Beatlemania swept across the U.S. following the Beatles’ first appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in February 1964, setting the stage for the British Invasion. With The Beatles Limited Edition RSD3 Turntable , the band will celebrate their iconic run of appearances on Sullivan’s TV program throughout that year.

The box set will include a Beatles-styled turntable and four 3-inch records. Among those records are the hits "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "Till There Was You," "She Loves You," and "I Saw Her Standing There," which the Beatles performed on Sullivan's TV across several appearances. 

Among 23 GRAMMY nominations, the Beatles won seven golden gramophones. In 2014, the Recording Academy honored them with the Lifetime Achievement Award.   

Olivia Rodrigo and Noah Kahan — From The BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge LP

Olivia Rodrigo and Noah Kahan are two of the biggest pop stars in the world right now — Rodrigo hitting the stage with No Doubt at Coachella and near the end of her global GUTS Tour ; Kahan fresh off a Best New Artist nomination at the 2024 GRAMMYs. Now, they're teaming up for the split single From The BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge LP , a release culled from each artist's "BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge" sessions. 

The special vinyl release will include Rodrigo's live cover of Kahan's breakout hit "Stick Season." The single also includes Kahan’s cover of Rodrigo’s song "Lacy" from her second album, GUTS . This month, they performed the song live together on Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour stop in Madison Square Garden.  

Buena Vista Social Club — Buena Vista Social Club

Influential Cuban group Buena Vista Social Club popularized genres and sounds from their country, including son cubano, bolero, guajira, and danzón. Buena Vista Social Club's landmark self-titled LP won the GRAMMY for Best Tropical Latin Album in 1998.

The following year, a documentary was released that captured two of the band's live performances in New York City and Amsterdam. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the documentary, the Buena Vista Social Club album will be released on a limited edition gold vinyl with remastered audio and bonus tracks.

Buena Vista Social Club is one of the 10 recordings to be newly inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame as part of the 2024 inductee class.

Danny Ocean — 54+1

Venezuelan reggaeton star Danny Ocean broke through on a global level in 2016 with his self-produced debut single "Me Rehúso," a heartbreaking track inspired by Ocean fleeing Venezuela due to the country's economic instability and the lover he had left behind. 

With "Me Rehúso," Ocean became the first solo Latin artist to surpass one billion streams on Spotify, on the platform with a single song. "Me Rehúso" was included on his 2019 debut album 54+1 , which will be released on vinyl for the first time for Record Store Day.

Lee "Scratch" Perry & The Upsetters — Skanking With The Upsetter

Jamaican producer Lee "Scratch" Perry pioneered dub music in the 1960s and '70s. Perry received five GRAMMY nominations in his lifetime, including winning Best Reggae Album in 2003 for Jamaican E.T.

To celebrate the legacy of Perry's earliest dub recordings, a limited edition run of his 2004 album Skanking With The Upsetter will be released on Record Store Day. His joint LP with his house band the Upsetters will be pressed on transparent yellow vinyl. Among the rare dub tracks on the album are "Bucky Skank," "Seven & Three Quarters (Skank)," and "IPA Skank."

Notorious B.I.G. — Ready To Die: The Instrumentals

The Notorious B.I.G. helped define the sound of East Coast rap in the '90s. Though he was tragically murdered in 1997, his legacy continues to live on through his two albums. 

During his lifetime, the Notorious B.I.G. dropped his 1994 debut album Ready to Die , which is widely considered to be one of the greatest hip-hop releases of all-time. In honor of the 30th anniversary of the album (originally released in September '94), his estate will release Ready To Die: The Instrumentals . The limited edition vinyl will include select cuts from the LP like his hits "Big Poppa," "One More Chance/Stay With Me," and "Juicy." The album helped him garner his first GRAMMY nomination in 1996 for Best Rap Solo Performance. The Notorious B.I.G. received an additional three nominations after his death in 1998.

How Andrew Watt Became Rock's Big Producer: His Work With Paul McCartney, Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam, & More

Andrew Watt cut his teeth with pop phenoms, but lately, the 2021 Producer Of The Year winner has been in demand among rockers — from the Rolling Stones and Blink-182 to Elton John.

While in a studio, Andrew Watt bounces off the walls. Just ask Mick Jagger , who once had to gently tell the 33-year-old, "Look, I can deal with this, but when you meet Ronnie and Keith , you have to dial it down a little bit."

Or ask Pearl Jam 's Stone Gossard . "He really got the best out of [drummer] Matt [Cameron] just by being excited — literally jumping up and down and pumping his fist and running around," he tells GRAMMY.com.

As Watt's hot streak has burned on, reams have rightly been written about his ability to take a legacy act, reconnect them with their essence, and put a battery in their back. His efficacy can be seen at Music's Biggest Night: Ozzy Osbourne 's Patient Number 9 won Best Rock Album at the 2023 GRAMMYs . At the last ceremony, the Rolling Stones were nominated for Best Rock Song, for Hackney Diamonds ' opener "Angry."

On Pearl Jam's return to form, Dark Matter , due out April 19. Who was behind the desk? Take a wild guess.

"You want to see them live more than you want to listen to their albums, and they have the ability to look at each other and play and follow each other. I don't like my rock music any other way, as a listener," Watt tells GRAMMY.com. "All my favorite records are made like that — of people speeding up, slowing down, playing longer than they should."

As such, Watt had a lightbulb moment: to not record any demos, and have them write together in the room. "They're all playing different stuff, and it makes up what Pearl Jam is, and singer Eddie [Vedder] rides it like a wave."

If you're more of a pop listener, there's tons of Watt for you — he's worked with Justin Bieber ("Hit the Ground" from Purpose ), Lana Del Rey ("Doin' Time" from Norman F—ing Rockwell ) and much more. Read on for a breakdown of big name rockers who have worked with Andrew Watt.

Pearl Jam / Eddie Vedder

Watt didn't just produce Dark Matter ; he also helmed Vedder's well-received third solo album, Earthling , from 2022. Watt plays guitar in Vedder's live backing band, known as the Earthlings — which also includes Josh Klinghoffer , who replaced John Frusciante in the Red Hot Chili Peppers for a stint.

The Rolling Stones

Dark Matter was a comeback for Pearl Jam, but Hackney Diamonds was really a comeback for the Stones . While it had a hater or two , the overwhelming consensus was that it was the Stones' best album in decades — maybe even since 1978's Some Girls .

"I hope what makes it fresh and modern comes down to the way it's mixed, with focus on low end and making sure the drums are big," Watt, who wore a different Stones shirt every day in the studio, has said about Hackney Diamonds . "But the record is recorded like a Stones album."

Where there are modern rock flourishes on Hackney Diamonds , "There's no click tracks. There's no gridding. There's no computer editing," he continued. "This s— is performed live and it speeds up and slows down. It's made to the f—ing heartbeat connection of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Steve Jordan.

"And Charlie ," Watt added, tipping a hat to Watts, who played on Hackney Diamonds but died before it came out. "When Charlie's on it."

Ever since he first picked up a mic and removed his shirt, the snapping junkyard dog of the Stooges has stayed relevant — as far as indie, alternative and punk music has been concerned.

But aside from bright spots like 2016's Josh Homme -produced Post Pop Depression , his late-career output has felt occasionally indulgent and enervated. The 11 songs on 2023's eclectic Watt-produced Every Loser , on the other hand, slap you in the face in 11 different ways.

"We would jam and make tracks and send them to Iggy, and he would like 'em and write to them or wouldn't like them and we'd do something else," Watt told Billboard . "It was very low pressure. We just kept making music until we felt like we had an album." (And as with Pearl Jam and Vedder's Earthlings band, Watt has rocked out onstage with Pop .

Ozzy Osbourne

You dropped your crown, O Prince of Darkness. When he hooked up with Watt, the original Black Sabbath frontman hadn't released any solo music since 2010's Scream; in 2017, Sabbath finally said goodbye after 49 years and 10 (!) singers.

On 2020's Ordinary Man and 2022's Patient Number 9 , Watt reenergized Ozzy; even when he sounds his age, Ozz sounds resolute, defiant, spitting in the face of the Reaper. (A bittersweet aside: the late Taylor Hawkins appears on Patient Number 9 , which was written and recorded in just four days .)

Yeah, yeah, they're more of a pop -rock band, but they have guitars, bass and drums. (And if you're the type of rock fan who's neutral or hostile to the 5, you shouldn't be; Songs About Jane slaps.)

At any rate, Watt co-produced "Can't Leave You Alone," featuring Juice WRLD , from 2021's Jordi . Critics disparaged the album, but showed Watt's facility straddling the pop and rock worlds.

5 Seconds of Summer

When it comes to Andrew Watt, the Sydney pop-rockers — slightly more on the rock end than Maroon 5 and their ilk — are repeat customers. He produced a number of tracks for 5 Seconds of Summer, which spanned 2018's Youngblood , 2020's Calm and 2022's 5SOS5 .

Regarding the former: Watt has cited Youngblood as one of the defining recording experiences of his life.

"I had started working with 5 Seconds of Summer, and a lot of people looked at them as a boy band, but they're not," Watt told Guitar Player . "They're all incredible musicians. They can all play every instrument. They love rock music. They can harmonize like skyrockets in flight. They just were making the wrong kind of music."

So Watt showed 5 Seconds of Summer a number of mainstays of the rock era, like Tears for Fears and the Police . The rest, as they say, is history.

A year after Britney Spears was unshackled from her highly controversial conservatorship, it was time for a victory lap with the God of Glitter. What resulted was a curious little bauble, which became a megahit: "Hold Me Closer," a spin on "Tiny Dancer," "The One" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" that briefly launched Spears back into the stratosphere.

"Britney came in and she knew what she wanted to do," Watt recalled to The L.A. Times . "We sped up the song a little bit and she sang the verses in her falsetto, which harkens back to 'Toxic.' She was having a blast."

Watt has also worked with pop/punk heroes Blink-182 — but not after Tom DeLonge made his grand return. He produced "I Really Wish I Hated You" from 2019's Nine , back when Matt Skiba was in the band.

Where in the rock world will this tender-aged superproducer strike next? Watt knows.
