All the Big Music Tours and Festivals to Put in Your Diary for the Rest of 2022
Fancy filling the rest of your year with music fests and huge gigs? Here's a long list to head to.
Live music is back in a big way — and, halfway through 2022, you probably already have the memories to prove it. Think the first half of this year has been massive, festival and tour-wise? It has. The next six months are set to eclipse it, though.
Pick a fest that usually happens between winter and summer, and odds are that it's returning before 2022 is out. Pick a huge music star and, yes, they're probably heading our way as well.
Consider this your hit list or your wish list, then — spanning which festivals to go to and which bands and singers to see, all right here across the rest of 2022.
