90s bands on tour 2024

10 popular '90s artists on tour in 2024

Every era seems to make a comeback decades later, and the 1990s are no exception.

In the past several years, we've seen fashion trends like Adidas slides and bucket hats become stylish again, while studios have rebooted popular '90s movies and TV shows.

Reunion tours have also seen a resurgence, with '90s artists ranging from TLC and Blondie to the Fugees  stepping foot on stage for the first time in years. Fans are willing to fork out big bucks to see their favorite groups get back together, and many artists are capitalizing on the interest. 

The trend is going strong in 2024. Creed  announced its first shows in 12 years ,  while Blink-182 continued  its highly anticipated reunion tour with Tom DeLonge. Other acts, from Weezer and Sarah McLachlan to The Flaming Lips and Violent Femmes, kicked off celebrations of milestone album anniversaries in big ways. Even New Kids on the Block reprised the famous "Magic Summer" tour.

And if Oasis' announcement of a Summer 2025  tour is any indication, '90s tours may be here to stay—or at least until the buzz wears off.  Stacker curated a list of 10 popular '90s artists who went, are currently, or will be on tour in 2024 with the help of music publications and press releases. Read on to see who's hitting the road this year and what makes their tour special.

Creed members surprised fans in October 2023 by announcing their first tour in over a decade. Billed as the "Summer of '99 Tour," the post-grunge band embarked on a 40-show run featuring fellow '90s rockers 3 Doors Down as support for most shows.

"I feel like I'm as strong as I've ever been vocally, and looking forward to sharing the stage with the guys again," frontman Scott Stapp said in a statement . "The fans have clearly let us know they feel it's long overdue. I want to give them what they deserve. I'm ready to bring it."

Creed released four studio albums between 1997 and 2009. The group's sophomore album, 1999's "Human Clay," catapulted the act to superstar status with 11.7 million copies sold.

Hootie & the Blowfish

Before becoming a country sensation in 2008, rocker Darius Rucker fronted Hootie & the Blowfish. The band's 1994 debut album "Cracked Rear View" afforded the bandmates mainstream fame; the record is still among the top 10 bestselling albums in U.S. history 30 years after its release.

The alt-rockers' "Summer Camp With Trucks Tour" features 43 dates across North America. It's the group's first tour since 2019. Joining the act are fellow '90s stars Collective Soul and Edwin McCain. 

Shania Twain

Shania Twain is spending the latter half of 2024 in Las Vegas, performing her 24-date "Come On Over" residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino's Bakkt Theater. This is quite a comeback, considering the country star went nearly a decade without singing at all after contracting Lyme disease in 2003. In 2011, after undergoing two "open-throat" surgeries, Twain could project her voice again.

Twain reflected on her overwhelming success in the late '90s and early 2000s, telling Billboard, "It's funny, because I don't have very vivid memories of that time, because it was such a whirlwind." After releasing 1997's "Come On Over," Twain said: "It was single after single, and video after video. It was as if I couldn't keep up. … I was hands-on with everything, and it exhausted me. So I didn't get to enjoy a lot of it in the moment. But I'm celebrating now."

"Come On Over" produced seven #1 singles and remains the bestselling album by a solo woman artist in history.

Blink-182 set fans into a frenzy in 2022 by reuniting with guitarist Tom DeLonge after a seven-year separation and announcing a 2023 world tour. While the reunion news was happy, the reason behind it was less so: Bassist Mark Hoppus was diagnosed with cancer in 2021, and his illness is what rekindled his relationship with DeLonge.

2023 also brought a new album from the band called "One More Time" and a subsequent announcement for another world tour in 2024.

Sarah McLachlan

Sarah McLachlan's 30-date 2024 tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of her 1993 album "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" is her first since 2016.

The album features singles like "Good Enough," "Possession," and "Hold On" and was the Grammy-winning Canadian musician's first album to enter the U.S. charts .

Green Day is going all out in 2024 with a tour celebrating three albums: the band's latest record, "Saviors," 2004's "American Idiot," and 1994's "Dookie."

"The Saviors Tour" harkens back to the '90s with the Smashing Pumpkins, the Linda Lindas, and Rancid accompanying the band as support for the North American leg.

"Dookie" was Green Day's breakthrough third album, featuring the singles "Welcome to Paradise," "Basket Case," "Longview," and "When I Come Around." "Saviors" marks the group's 14th album.

Yes, Pantera originated in the '80s—but it was the group's 1990 album "Cowboys from Hell" that transformed the band from glam rock nobodies into metal icons. Thirteen years after "Cowboys," the band split acrimoniously and a reunion didn't seem to be in the cards—especially after the deaths of founding members and brothers "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott in 2004 and Vinnie Paul Abbott in 2018.

After a handful of shows in 2022, however, a full-blown reunion took place in 2023 that continued in 2024. Guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante will join longtime members Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown to celebrate the legacies of the late founding members.

New Kids on the Block

Before there was 'N Sync or the Backstreet Boys, there was New Kids on the Block. The pioneering boy band got their start in the late '80s, but NKOTB is still synonymous with the '90s. This year, the group celebrates that era with the "Magic Summer 2024" tour  that kicked off in June.

The string of shows is a callback to the group's "Magic Summer Tour"  from 1990 and will feature support from two other '90s icons: Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

"The true 'magic' of this tour is in the music, the moments and the memories that we get to create—and recreate—with our amazing fans each night," NKOTB's Donnie Wahlberg said in a statement . 

Slipknot played its  first show at the end of 1995 under the moniker Meld, but it was the release of the group's 1999 self-titled debut album that turned its members into metal icons. With 2024 marking the album's 25th anniversary, the masked rockers came into the year with big plans including a handful of U.S. festival dates along with a global tour through Europe, the U.K., and the U.S. 

Weezer's bandmates are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, famously known as "The Blue Album," with a tour in the second half of 2024 with The Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr. "The Blue Album" features two of Weezer's biggest hits: "Say It Ain't So" and "Undone (The Sweater Song)."

The alt-rock heroes also played the Shaky Knees festival in Atlanta in May, and a handful of U.K. shows with the Smashing Pumpkins in June.

10 Popular ‘90s Artists Going On Tour In 2024

Every era seems to make a comeback decades later, and as of the late 2010s, the 1990s revival has officially been in full swing. In the past several years, we’ve seen fashion trends like Adidas slides and bucket hats become stylish again, while studios have rebooted popular ’90s movies, like the “Scream” franchise, and TV shows like “Saved by the Bell” and “Full House”—and it doesn’t stop there.Reunion tours have also seen a resurgence, with ’90s artists ranging from TLC and the Fugees to Blondie stepping foot on stage for the first time in years. Fans are willing to fork out big bucks to see their favorite groups get back together, and many artists are capitalizing on the interest, while others would rather generate buzz about a potential reunion (we’re looking at you, ‘N Sync).There are also ’90s bands that never stopped touring and are now cashing in on nostalgia in other ways, like album anniversary tours.

This year sees the trend continue, with Creed announcing their first shows in 12 years and Blink-182 continuing their highly anticipated reunion tour with Tom DeLonge. Other acts, like Weezer and Sarah McLachlan, are celebrating milestone album anniversaries in big ways, and New Kids on the Block are reprising their famous “Magic Summer” tour. To help original fans and younger crowds discovering these artists for the first time, Stacker compiled a list of 10 popular ’90s artists going on tour in 2024 with the help of music publications and press releases. Read on to see who’s hitting the road this year and what makes their tour special. Creed

In October 2023, Creed surprised fans by announcing their first tour in over a decade. Billed as the “Summer of ’99 Tour,” the post-grunge band plans to hit the road in 2024 for a 40-show run featuring fellow ’90s rockers 3 Doors Down as support for most shows. “I feel like I’m as strong as I’ve ever been vocally, and looking forward to sharing the stage with the guys again,” frontman Scott Stapp said in a statement about the tour. “The fans have clearly let us know they feel it’s long overdue. I want to give them what they deserve. I’m ready to bring it.” Creed released four studio albums between 1997 and 2009. Their sophomore album, 1999’s “Human Clay,” helped them reach superstar status and has sold 11.7 million copies. Hootie & the Blowfish Before becoming a country sensation in 2008, rocker Darius Rucker fronted Hootie & the Blowfish. The band’s 1994 debut album, “Cracked Rear View,” catapulted them into mainstream fame and is still among the top 10 best-selling albums in U.S. history, nearly 30 years after its release. The alt-rockers announced in November 2023 that they’re hitting the road on the “Summer Camp With Trucks Tour” in 2024, accompanied by fellow ’90s stars Collective Soul as well as musician Edwin McCain. The 43-date North American trek is Hootie & the Blowfish’s first tour since 2019. Hootie guitarist Mark Bryan reminisced about the band’s previous adventures, recalling McCain likening the experience of touring with the band to “summer camp with trucks.” That experience is “exactly how we want next year to feel, too,” Bryan said in a statement about the upcoming shows. Shania Twain Shania Twain is gearing up to spend the latter half of 2024 in Las Vegas, performing her 24-date “Come On Over” residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s Bakkt Theater. This is quite a comeback, considering the country star went nearly a decade without singing at all after contracting Lyme disease in 2003. In 2011, after undergoing two “open-throat” surgeries, Twain could project her voice again—and that’s a reason to celebrate, for both Twain and her fans. Twain reflected on her overwhelming success in the late ’90s and early 2000s, telling Billboard, “It’s funny, because I don’t have very vivid memories of that time, because it was such a whirlwind.” After releasing 1997’s “Come On Over,” Twain said: “It was single after single, and video after video. It was as if I couldn’t keep up. … I was hands-on with everything, and it exhausted me. So I didn’t get to enjoy a lot of it in the moment. But I’m celebrating now.” “Come On Over” produced seven #1 singles and is the bestselling album by a solo woman artist in history. Blink-182 In 2022, Blink-182 set fans into a frenzy when they reunited with guitarist Tom DeLonge after a seven-year hiatus and announced a 2023 world tour. After DeLonge’s departure from the band in 2015, Blink continued releasing music and touring with Matt Skiba, but 2023 marked the first time the band’s classic lineup took the stage together in nearly a decade. That same year, they released a new album called “One More Time” and will be touring the world again in 2024. While the reunion news was happy, the reason behind it was less so: Bassist Mark Hoppus was diagnosed with cancer in 2021, and his illness is what rekindled his relationship with DeLonge. “When he told me he was sick, that’s the gnarliest… like, nothing matters, really,” DeLonge recalled in a trailer promoting “One More Time.” “It wasn’t about fame or money or how big Blink was or anything, it was like, ‘You’re gonna get through this s—, and we’re gonna go dominate.’” Hoppus announced he was cancer-free in September 2021.

They also took an extended hiatus in 2005 before reuniting four years later. Sarah McLachlan Sarah McLachlan is hitting the road in 2024 for the first time since 2016 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her 1993 album “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.” The 30-date tour will see the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter play her third album, plus some other hits. “It’s such a fun concept to play a record start to finish,” she told Today.com about the anniversary tour, describing “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy” as her “personal favorite” and “the easiest record I ever wrote.” The album features singles like “Good Enough,” “Possession,” and “Hold On” and was the Canadian musician’s first album to enter the U.S. charts. Green Day Green Day is going all out in 2024 with a tour that celebrates three albums: their latest record, “Saviors”; 2004’s “American Idiot”; and 1994’s “Dookie.” “The Saviors Tour” promises to harken back to the ’90s, with the Smashing Pumpkins, the Linda Lindas, and Rancid accompanying the band as support for the North American leg. “Dookie” was Green Day’s breakthrough album, featuring the singles “Welcome to Paradise,” “Basket Case,” “Longview,” and “When I Come Around.” It’s the third album in their discography, and “Saviors” marks their 14th. Pantera Yes, Pantera originated in the ’80s, but it was their 1990 album “Cowboys from Hell” that transformed the band from glam rock nobodies into metal icons, launching them into superstardom. Thirteen years after “Cowboys,” the band split acrimoniously, and a reunion didn’t seem to be in the cards—especially after the deaths of founding members and brothers “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott in 2004 and Vinnie Paul Abbott in 2018. After a handful of shows in 2022, however, a full-blown reunion took place in 2023 and is continuing in 2024. Guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante will join longtime members Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown to celebrate the legacies of the late founding members. “Only thing I can say is, man, I know for a d— fact Vince and Dime would want us to do this, hands down,” Anselmo told The Metallica Report podcast of the reunion. “They would want the Pantera brand or the legacy to go on. And I don’t know what you believe in, but sometimes, you know, you would like to think that them old fellas are looking down on us, giving us the thumbs-up.” New Kids on the Block Before there was ‘N Sync or the Backstreet Boys, there was New Kids on the Block. The pioneering boy band got their start in the late ’80s, but NKOTB is still synonymous with the ’90s. This year, they’re celebrating that era with the “Magic Summer 2024” tour, kicking off in June. The string of shows is a callback to the group’s 1990 “Magic Summer Tour” and will feature support from two other ’90s icons: Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff. “The true ‘magic’ of this tour is in the music, the moments and the memories that we get to create—and recreate—with our amazing fans each night,” NKOTB’s Donnie Wahlberg said in a statement. “Feeling all the nostalgic feels of the original Magic Summer, with the bond that we’ve shared throughout the years, will make for a most magical time indeed.” Slipknot Slipknot played their first show at the end of 1995 under the moniker Meld, but it was the release of their 1999 self-titled debut album that solidified their place as metal icons. With 2024 marking the album’s 25th anniversary, the masked rockers have big plans: Slipknot has already announced a handful of U.S. festival dates, along with a European and U.K. tour. And according to founding member Shawn “Clown” Crahan, that’s not all fans can expect in 2024. When asked in a recent interview if Slipknot plans to play the album in full on tour, the percussionist had a blunt response. “Are you joking right now? You’re talking about the anniversary of one of the greatest metal albums to ever release in the thought process known as reality,” Crahan told Kerrang! “You think for one moment that this album isn’t going to be played in its entirety in front of, like, a hundred people, 200 people, 300 people, 50,000 people. I’m not going to live forever, man. Neither is everybody else. Things are changing very quickly. I ain’t got no more time to f— around.” He also suggested the band would be playing some surprise shows this year too. “We’re going to have fun, too. So that means small shows and you won’t know until you hear it. And if you heard it, you’re already too late and you’re not going to see it. So you better open up your soul, because then you’ll feel it and you won’t have to hear it, because I’m being very serious,” he said. “It’s really going to be an exciting 2024, and I think things are going to happen that you wouldn’t think ever could.” Weezer This year marks the 30th anniversary of Weezer’s self-titled debut album, famously known as “The Blue Album,” and it sounds like they’re scheming something exciting—they just haven’t revealed what it is yet. “We are going to give it its due respect and come out with a really amazing deluxe package with a bunch of additional material, and of course, we’ve gotta do some kind of epic tour,” frontman Rivers Cuomo told Collider. The alt-rock heroes are scheduled to play the Shaky Knees festival in Atlanta this May and have a handful of U.K. tour dates with the Smashing Pumpkins in June, but other than that, 2024 is a clean slate. There might be a reason for that. “I think the public tour dates cut off in June and then there’s this very suspicious blank space in our calendar for months after that,” Cuomo said, “so I’d keep your eye on that.” “The Blue Album” features two of Weezer’s biggest hits: “Say It Ain’t So” and “Undone (The Sweater Song).”

In the middle of the tour, Creed will head to San Bernardino, Calif. to top the bill of the inaugural Summer of ’99 and Beyond Festival, which will corral the openers on various legs of the tour and welcome a few other special guests. 3 Doors Down, Daughtry, Finger Eleven, Fuel, Vertical Horizon, The Verve Pipe will join Creed on Aug. 31 at San Bernardino’s Glen Helen Amphitheatre.

“Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Festival in San Bernardino is going to be so special for all of us,” says guitarist Mark Tremonti. “It is giving us a chance to bring performances from the cruises and tour together in one location. That show is going to be a highlight for us next year.”

In July, Creed announced their first shows together in 12 years as headliners of the Summer of ’99 cruise, setting sail from April 18-22, 2024. The band added a second cruise the following weekend, and both trips are sold out.

Stapp, Tremonti, Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips stopped touring together in 2012, after scoring smashes like “One,” “Higher,” “With Arms Wide Open” and “My Sacrifice”; their 1999 sophomore album, Human Clay , has sold 11.7 million copies to date, according to Luminate. In addition to the Creed reunion, Tremonti recently released a holiday album, Christmas Classics New & Old , and Stapp’s fourth solo album, Higher Power , will be released in March 2024.

10 popular ’90s artists going on tour in 2024

(STACKER) – Every era seems to make a comeback decades later, and as of the late 2010s, the 1990s revival has officially been in full swing. In the past several years, we’ve seen fashion trends like Adidas slides and bucket hats become stylish again, while studios have rebooted popular ’90s movies, like the “Scream” franchise, and TV shows like “Saved by the Bell” and “Full House”—and it doesn’t stop there.

Reunion tours have also seen a resurgence, with ’90s artists ranging from TLC and the Fugees to Blondie stepping foot on stage for the first time in years. Fans are willing to fork out big bucks to see their favorite groups get back together, and many artists are capitalizing on the interest, while others would rather generate buzz about a potential reunion ( we’re looking at you, ‘N Sync ).

There are also ’90s bands that never stopped touring and are now cashing in on nostalgia in other ways, like album anniversary tours.

This year sees the trend continue, with Creed announcing their  first shows in 12 years  and Blink-182 continuing their highly anticipated reunion tour with Tom DeLonge. Other acts, like Weezer and Sarah McLachlan, are celebrating milestone album anniversaries in big ways, and New Kids on the Block are reprising their famous “Magic Summer” tour.

To help original fans and younger crowds discovering these artists for the first time,  Stacker  compiled a list of 10 popular ’90s artists going on tour in 2024 with the help of music publications and press releases. Read on to see who’s hitting the road this year and what makes their tour special.

It's been a long time since rock and roll was a young person's game. If you need proof check out this list of famous musicians who were on tour way back in 1984, and are still out there doing their thing 40 years later in 2024. In most cases we've also got live video footage from the 1984 shows.

Ready to feel inspired and also very very old? With tour statistics from SetList.fm , here's 30 Rockers Who Toured in 1984 and Are Touring again in 2024.

Although they spent most of 1984 off the road, AC/DC joined the Monsters of Rock festival for 10 late summer dates in support of the previous year's Flick of the Switch album. The tour was the first to feature Simon Wright on drums. 40 years later, the band will return to Europe for their first tour in eight years. Angus Young, Brian Johnson and Stevie Young will be joined by a brand-new rhythm section featuring Chris Chaney on bass and Matt Laug on drums.

Five years after Joe Perry's departure from the band, Aerosmith 's original lineup reunited for 1984's Back in the Saddle tour. Although the group had floundered without Perry and fellow guitarist Brad Whitford (who left in 1981), their comeback tour was a rousing success and the first step in their remarkable Permanent Vacation / Pump rebirth. Nearly four decades later the band launched their Peace Out farewell tour in September 2023 but were forced off the road when Steven Tyler injured his vocal chords after just three shows. With their singer now recovered, the group aims to hit the road again this fall.

The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys were embroiled in major interpersonal turmoil in the mid-'80s, with Brian Wilson largely living in exile to focus on his health and addiction issues, and his brother Dennis drowning after his own long substance abuse battle. But somehow the band still managed to perform over 130 shows in 1984. 40 years later the group's touring lineup, led by Love and Bruce Johnston, has another busy tour scheduled planned for 2024.

Blue Oyster Cult

While touring throughout 1984, Blue Oyster Cult were dealing with internal and external changes. Longtime drummer Albert Bouchard was fired before the recording of 1983's The Revolution by Night , which found the band trying to keep up with MTV and the increasingly pop-friendly sound of rock music. The band kicked off 2024 by releasing their first new album in four years, Ghost Stories , and longtime members Buck Dharma and Eric Bloom will lead the band out on the road for the 57th consecutive year in 2024.

Cheap Trick

While supporting their 1983 album Next Position Please , Cheap Trick spent much of 1984 on the road, sharing bills with a diverse group of bands including Ratt, .38 Special and Til' Tuesday. They'll spend most of 2024 supporting a reunited Heart on the Royal Flush tour.

Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton had a relatively quiet touring year in 1984, finishing up the 11 dates of his tour in support of 1983's Money and Cigarettes in February, then embarking on a tour of Australia in November. He spent part of 1984 recording Behind the Sun with help from Phil Collins. The following year the album and its hit single "Forever Man" would help revive Clapton's commercial fortunes. Clapton has about two dozen shows planned for 2024, with a UK tour kicking off May 9. So far three American dates have been announced for November, in San Diego, Palm Desert and Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl.

Elvis Costello

During his early 1984 U.S. tour, Elvis Costello treated fans to a preview of upcoming album Goodbye Cruel World by performing the song "The Only Flame in Town." The studio version of the song featured harmony vocals by Hall and Oates star Daryl Hall . 40 years later, Hall and Costello are teaming up for a tour that kicks off June 2 in Troutdale, Oregon.

Deep Purple

Freshly reunited with the classic "Mark II" lineup of Jon Lord, Ian Paice, Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, Deep Purple released the hit album Perfect Strangers in late 1984 and then launched a massive and highly successful tour with a 15-date tour of Australia and New Zealand. The tour continued to the United States, Europe and Japan in 1985. Paice, Glover and Gillan remain in the current lineup, which will release a new album named =1 in July and launch a North American tour with Yes in August.

Def Leppard

After establishing themselves as superstars with 1983's Pyromania , Def Leppard launched a massive 188-date world tour that concluded with seven 1984 dates in Japan, Australia and Thailand. In July 2024 they'll launch a stadium tour alongside Journey , with support on select dates from Heart, Cheap Trick and the Steve Miller Band.

Bob Dylan spent the summer of 1984 touring Europe alongside Santana , with a band that featured ex- Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor (who had also played on 1983's Infidels) and Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan. Later that year, the live album Real Live documented the tour. He's already played 24 dates so far this year, and will join Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival tour this summer along with John Mellencamp, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss and others.

Sammy Hagar

1984's VOA and more specifically, the single "I Can't Drive 55' made Sammy Hagar a household name. He wisely capitalized with an 89-date headline tour that kicked off Sept. 1 in Portland. Soon after the tour's completion he joined Van Halen , a decade-long era he will be celebrating with help from Michael Anthony and Joe Satriani this summer on the Best of All Worlds tour.

Heart entered the '80s in turmoil and commercial decline, losing longtime members Steve Fossen and Michael Derosier after the release of 1982's Private Audition , which was the group's first album not to achieve gold sales status. Neither did 1983's Passionworks , but the band launched a 75-date tour that stretched into June of 1984. The following year they teamed up with outside songwriters and switched to a keyboard-dominated sound for their five-times platinum self-titled comeback album. In late 2023 Ann and Nancy Wilson formed a new version of the band, who will spend the summer of 2024 on the Royal Flush tour with support from Cheap Trick.

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

Neither 1983's Album nor 1984's Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth reached the same sales heights as Joan Jett 's 1981 smash I Love Rock 'n Roll . But she remained a popular concert draw, performing 70 shows on a tour that was split almost equally between 1984 and 1985. In 2024 she will join Alanis Morissette and country singer Morgan Wade on the Triple Moon Tour , which kicks off June 9 in Phoenix.

After 1982's darkly themed Nylon Curtain proved to be a (very, very) relative commercial letdown for Billy Joel , he rebounded spectacularly with 1983's An Innocent Man , a tribute to the '50s and '60s music of his youth. He performed 68 concerts on the tour in support of the seven-million platinum selling album in 1984, concluding with seven shows at New York City's Madison Square Garden. In addition to concluding his record-breaking MSG residency, 2024 will find Joel sharing the bill at stadium shows across the country with fellow legends Stevie Nicks , Sting and Rod Stewart .

Judas Priest

Barely two weeks into 1984, Judas Priest followed up 1982's masterful Screaming for Vengeance with the almost-as-awesome Defenders of the Faith . They spent the next nine months on the Meal Conqueror tour, showcasing future classics such as "Freewheel Burning," "Love Bites" and "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll." 40 years later, the heavy metal legends are back with a new album named Invincible Shield and another headlining tour .

Although 1983 ended with the exit of founding members Kerry Livgren and Dave Hope, and newly recruited singer and keyboardist John Elefante followed them out the door early the next year, Kansas managed to play a handful of shows in support of 1983's Drastic Measures in 1984 before radically re-casting their lineup for 1986's Power . Guitarist Rich Williams is the only member of the band's classic '70s lineups to remain in the touring version of the band in 2024, although drummer Phil Ehart, who is recovering from a recent heart attack, is still an official member of the group. The band has extended last year's 50th anniversary tour well into 2024 , with dates that are currently set to conclude Dec. 11 in Pittsburgh.

A year and two days after essentially rewriting the rules of metal with their 1983 debut Kill 'Em All , Metallica displayed a stunning level of creative growth with 1984's sophomore effort Ride the Lightning . Still striving to make a name for themselves, the group performed about two dozen shows both before and after the album's June release date. 40 years later and firmly established as the kings of the genre, Metallica will launch the second year of their ambitious "two nights in every city" 72 Seasons tour on May 24th in Munich, Germany.

Night Ranger

1984 marked the release of " Sister Christian ," Night Ranger 's career-defining smash from the previous year's Midnight Madness album. The band performed 110 shows in support of the album that summer, and will spend much of 2024 on the road in an extended celebration of their 40th year as a band.

Robert Plant

Four years and two solo albums after the breakup of Led Zeppelin , in 1984 Robert Plant played the last 19 shows in support of 1983's The Principle of Moments without performing a single song from his former band. It was a streak he wouldn't break until 1987's Non Stop Go tour. 44 years into one of the most restless and rewarding solo careers in the genre's history, Plant will spend the summer of 2024 touring together with Alison Krauss, including a number of dates on Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival.

After losing two of her founding bandmates to drug addiction, Chrissie Hynde led a reconfigured Pretenders to new heights with 1984's Learning to Crawl . Empowered by new hit singles such as "Back on the Chain Gang," "2000 Miles" and "Middle of the Road," the band played 129 shows in 1984. They'll spend much of 2024 touring in support of their latest album Relentless , both headlining as as the support act for the Foo Fighters .

Watch Pretenders Perform 'Thumbelina' in 1984

Reportedly angered by the negative reaction to their 1984 video "I Want to Break Free," Queen decided not to tour America in support of their new album The Works . But they played nearly 50 shows in England, Europe, Australia and Japan in support of the album. Sadly, it would be singer Freddie Mercury's second-to-last tour with the group. So far the band's 2024 tour schedule is rather light, listing only a five-date tour of Japan with singer Adam Lambert, who has fronted the group since 2011.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

By their own admission, the Red Hot Chili Peppers ' 1984 debut album didn't do a great job of demonstrating the band's abilities, but even with the temporary absence of founding guitarist Hillel Slovak, they proved themselves to be a dynamic live attraction, performing 73 dates across the country that year. Four decades later and firmly established as one of the biggest concert draws in the world, the band will kick off a summer 2024 tour on May 28 in Ridgefield, Washington.

REO Speedwagon

REO Speedwagon released the double-platinum Wheels Are Turnin' in November 1984. The gigantic success of the " Can't Fight This Feeling " single propelled that band onto a 143-date tour, with the first two dozen dates taking place in the winter of 1984. The band will team up with Train for a summer 2024 tour that kicks off July 8 in Somerset, Wisconsin. The groups promoted the tour by performing a mash-up of their respective hits "Keep On Loving You" and "Drops of Jupiter" on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this February.

In addition to the above-mentioned summer European tour with Bob Dylan, Santana mounted a brief autumn run of U.S. dates in 1984. He'll spend most of May performing at his long-running Las Vegas residency. On June 14, he'll kick off a summer 2024 trek with the Counting Crows.

Watch Santana Perform 'Touchdown Raiders' in 1984

The Scorpions' popularity got a big boost early in 1984 with the release of " Rock You Like a Hurricane " and their first multi-platinum album, Love at First Sting . They played 160 concerts all over the world in support of the album that year. In 2024 they are celebrating its 40th birthday with the Love at First Sting Las Vegas residency .

Bruce Springsteen

1984 was a watershed moment for Bruce Springsteen , as his Born in the U.S.A. album became one of the year's biggest hits, going on to eventually sell over 30 million copies. He celebrated with a 156-show tour that spread from June 1984 to October 1985. Nearly half of his 1986 five-album Live 1975-85 box set was recorded on this tour. After having to postpone his current tour with the E Street Band due to peptic ulcer disease, Springsteen is back on the road with dates scheduled through November 2024.

Although 1983's "(She's) Sexy + 17" was a Top 10 hit, frontman Brian Setzer had grown bored with the Stray Cats , and after performing 45 shows in 1984, the group broke up and began would be be a decades-long cycle of reunions and hiatuses. They'll be back on the road in 2024 for the first time in five years, starting July 27 in Woodinville, Washington and concluding Aug. 17 in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

George Thorogood

Although it miraculously somehow never cracked the singles charts, George Thorogood was still riding high off 1982's "Bad to the Bone" in 1984. He spent part of the summer recording 1985's Maverick - home to the classic "I Drink Alone" - but found time to perform a handful of shows with his longtime backing band the Delaware Destroyers. He'll spend the summer of 2024 touring with John Fogerty on the Celebration tour.

Watch George Thorogood Perform 'Who Do You Love' in 1984

A newly reunited and reconfigured Yes entered 1984 on a big winning streak, as their pop-friendly late-1983 album 90125 became the band's biggest-selling album thanks to the hit single "Owner of a Lonely Heart." They capitalized on this success with a 138-date tour which was documented in the 1985 concert film 9012Live .

Currently led by guitarist and '70s-era veteran Steve Howe, Yes willl join Deep Purple for a summer 2024 North American tour that kicks off Aug. 14 in Hollywood, Florida.

A year after becoming full-fledged superstars and unlikely MTV darlings with the previous year's Eliminator , ZZ Top spent the last two months of 1984 completing a 151-date world tour in support of the 11-million copy-selling album. They'll spend much of 2024 headlining their own Elevation tour or sharing the stage with Lynyrd Skynyrd on the perfectly-named Sharp Dressed Simple Man tour.

Green Day returning to Target Field in 2024 with fellow '90s bands Smashing Pumpkins and Rancid

Billie Joe Armstrong and his band will hit the Minneapolis ballpark again Aug. 17 with a new album and a big 30th anniversary.

By Chris Riemenschneider

For the second time in three years, Green Day will swing into Target Field in 2024 for a summer gig with a couple other bands from back when the Twins were still ensconced at the Metrodome.

Fellow '90s alt-rock hitmakers Smashing Pumpkins and one of the bands that followed Green Day out of California's Bay Area punk scene, Rancid, will join Minnesotan-in-law Billie Joe Armstrong and his bandmates at the Minneapolis ballpark on Aug. 17. Teen thrashers the Linda Lindas will open the tour stop, which falls on a Saturday.

Tickets for the four-band marathon go on sale next Friday, Nov. 10, at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster . Prices and pre-sale options have not been announced yet. Other stops on the tour include Chicago's Wrigley Field on Aug. 13 and Milwaukee's American Family Field on Aug. 20.

Green Day previously played Target Field on its Hella Mega Tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer in August 2021. About 35,000 fans turned out and sang their guts out, despite lingering COVID worries at the time.

During the 2021 show, Green Day's frontman — whose wife of nearly 30 years, Adrienne Armstrong (née Nesser), is a Twin Cities native — voiced his love for the ballpark and the city that houses it.

"I've had so much fun here over the years," Armstrong said.

Green Day will have a new album to tout at next year's show: "Saviors" has been given a Jan. 19 release date. A new single , "Look Ma, No Brains!" was posted Thursday along with the tour news. The trio also just issued an expanded 30 th anniversary edition of its landmark album, "Dookie," with bonus tracks, a concert recording and new liner notes by Bob Mehr, biographer of one of Armstrong's favorite bands, the Replacements.

With guitarist James Iha back in the lineup alongside frontman Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins released a three-LP "rock opera" this year, "Atum," and put on a compelling oldies-filled show last year at Xcel Energy Center with Jane's Addiction.

As for Rancid, the quartet of "Time Bomb" and "Ruby Soho" renown returned this year with the LP, "Tomorrow Never Comes," and has been touring sporadically in recent years, but it it hasn't had a big show like this in Minneapolis for many years.

The Linda Lindas shot to viral fame during COVID lockdown with video of them performing "Racist, Sexist Boy" in a Los Angeles public library. Since then they have put on a pair of impressive local gigs at First Avenue (with Japanese Breakfast) and Xcel Energy Center ( with Paramore ), despite members' school schedules. Definitely an opener worthy of an early arrival.

Target Field already has one other rock concert on the books for 2024: The Foo Fighters with the Pretenders and L7 on July 28 .

10 popular '90s artists going on tour in 2024

( Stacker ) - Every era seems to make a comeback decades later, and as of the late 2010s, the 1990s revival has officially been in full swing. In the past several years, we’ve seen fashion trends like Adidas slides and bucket hats become stylish again, while studios have rebooted popular ‘90s movies, like the “Scream” franchise, and TV shows like “Saved by the Bell” and “Full House”—and it doesn’t stop there.

Reunion tours have also seen a resurgence, with ‘90s artists ranging from TLC and the Fugees to Blondie stepping foot on stage for the first time in years. Fans are willing to fork out big bucks to see their favorite groups get back together, and many artists are capitalizing on the interest, while others would rather generate buzz about a potential reunion (we’re looking at you, ‘N Sync).

There are also ‘90s bands that never stopped touring and are now cashing in on nostalgia in other ways, like album anniversary tours.

This year sees the trend continue, with Creed announcing their first shows in 12 years and Blink-182 continuing their highly anticipated reunion tour with Tom DeLonge. Other acts, like Weezer and Sarah McLachlan, are celebrating milestone album anniversaries in big ways, and New Kids on the Block are reprising their famous “Magic Summer” tour.

To help original fans and younger crowds discover these artists for the first time, Stacker compiled a list of 10 popular ‘90s artists going on tour in 2024 with the help of music publications and press releases. Read on to see who’s hitting the road this year and what makes their tour special.

In October 2023, Creed surprised fans by announcing their first tour in over a decade. Billed as the “Summer of ‘99 Tour,” the post-grunge band plans to hit the road in 2024 for a 40-show run featuring fellow ‘90s rockers 3 Doors Down as support for most shows.

“I feel like I’m as strong as I’ve ever been vocally, and looking forward to sharing the stage with the guys again,” frontman Scott Stapp said in a statement about the tour. “The fans have clearly let us know they feel it’s long overdue. I want to give them what they deserve. I’m ready to bring it.”

Creed released four studio albums between 1997 and 2009. Their sophomore album, 1999′s “Human Clay,” helped them reach superstar status and has sold 11.7 million copies.

Hootie & the Blowfish

Before becoming a country sensation in 2008, rocker Darius Rucker fronted Hootie & the Blowfish. The band’s 1994 debut album, “Cracked Rear View,” catapulted them into mainstream fame and is still among the top 10 best-selling albums in U.S. history, nearly 30 years after its release.

The alt-rockers announced in November 2023 that they’re hitting the road on the “Summer Camp With Trucks Tour” in 2024, accompanied by fellow ‘90s stars Collective Soul as well as musician Edwin McCain. The 43-date North American trek is Hootie & the Blowfish’s first tour since 2019.

Hootie guitarist Mark Bryan reminisced about the band’s previous adventures, recalling McCain likening the experience of touring with the band to “summer camp with trucks.” That experience is “exactly how we want next year to feel, too,” Bryan said in a statement about the upcoming shows.

Shania Twain

Shania Twain is gearing up to spend the latter half of 2024 in Las Vegas, performing her 24-date “Come On Over” residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s Bakkt Theater. This is quite a comeback, considering the country star went nearly a decade without singing at all after contracting Lyme disease in 2003. In 2011, after undergoing two “open-throat” surgeries, Twain could project her voice again—and that’s a reason to celebrate, for both Twain and her fans.

Twain reflected on her overwhelming success in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, telling Billboard, “It’s funny, because I don’t have very vivid memories of that time, because it was such a whirlwind.” After releasing 1997′s “Come On Over,” Twain said: “It was single after single, and video after video. It was as if I couldn’t keep up. … I was hands-on with everything, and it exhausted me. So I didn’t get to enjoy a lot of it in the moment. But I’m celebrating now.”

“Come On Over” produced seven #1 singles and is the bestselling album by a solo woman artist in history.

In 2022, Blink-182 set fans into a frenzy when they reunited with guitarist Tom DeLonge after a seven-year hiatus and announced a 2023 world tour. After DeLonge’s departure from the band in 2015, Blink continued releasing music and touring with Matt Skiba, but 2023 marked the first time the band’s classic lineup took the stage together in nearly a decade. That same year, they released a new album called “One More Time” and will be touring the world again in 2024.

While the reunion news was happy, the reason behind it was less so: Bassist Mark Hoppus was diagnosed with cancer in 2021, and his illness is what rekindled his relationship with DeLonge.

“When he told me he was sick, that’s the gnarliest… like, nothing matters, really,” DeLonge recalled in a trailer promoting “One More Time.” “It wasn’t about fame or money or how big Blink was or anything, it was like, ‘You’re gonna get through this s—, and we’re gonna go dominate.’” Hoppus announced he was cancer-free in September 2021.

This isn’t the first time Blink’s classic lineup has reunited since Travis Barker joined the band in 1998. They also took an extended hiatus in 2005 before reuniting four years later.

Sarah McLachlan

Sarah McLachlan is hitting the road in 2024 for the first time since 2016 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her 1993 album “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.” The 30-date tour will see the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter play her third album, plus some other hits.

“It’s such a fun concept to play a record start to finish,” she told Today.com about the anniversary tour, describing “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy” as her “personal favorite” and “the easiest record I ever wrote.”

The album features singles like “Good Enough,” “Possession,” and “Hold On” and was the Canadian musician’s first album to enter the U.S. charts.

Green Day is going all out in 2024 with a tour that celebrates three albums: their latest record, “Saviors”; 2004′s “American Idiot”; and 1994′s “Dookie.” “The Saviors Tour” promises to harken back to the ‘90s, with the Smashing Pumpkins, the Linda Lindas, and Rancid accompanying the band as support for the North American leg.

“Dookie” was Green Day’s breakthrough album, featuring the singles “Welcome to Paradise,” “Basket Case,” “Longview,” and “When I Come Around.” It’s the third album in their discography, and “Saviors” marks their 14th.

Yes, Pantera originated in the ‘80s, but it was their 1990 album “Cowboys from Hell” that transformed the band from glam rock nobodies into metal icons, launching them into superstardom. Thirteen years after “Cowboys,” the band split acrimoniously, and a reunion didn’t seem to be in the cards—especially after the deaths of founding members and brothers “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott in 2004 and Vinnie Paul Abbott in 2018.

After a handful of shows in 2022, however, a full-blown reunion took place in 2023 and is continuing in 2024. Guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante will join longtime members Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown to celebrate the legacies of the late founding members.

“Only thing I can say is, man, I know for a d— fact Vince and Dime would want us to do this, hands down,” Anselmo told The Metallica Report podcast of the reunion. “They would want the Pantera brand or the legacy to go on. And I don’t know what you believe in, but sometimes, you know, you would like to think that them old fellas are looking down on us, giving us the thumbs-up.”

New Kids on the Block

Before there was ‘N Sync or the Backstreet Boys, there was New Kids on the Block. The pioneering boy band got their start in the late ‘80s, but NKOTB is still synonymous with the ‘90s. This year, they’re celebrating that era with the “Magic Summer 2024″ tour, kicking off in June.

The string of shows is a callback to the group’s 1990 “Magic Summer Tour” and will feature support from two other ‘90s icons: Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

“The true ‘magic’ of this tour is in the music, the moments and the memories that we get to create—and recreate—with our amazing fans each night,” NKOTB’s Donnie Wahlberg said in a statement. “Feeling all the nostalgic feels of the original Magic Summer, with the bond that we’ve shared throughout the years, will make for a most magical time indeed.”

Slipknot played their first show at the end of 1995 under the moniker Meld, but it was the release of their 1999 self-titled debut album that solidified their place as metal icons. With 2024 marking the album’s 25th anniversary, the masked rockers have big plans: Slipknot has already announced a handful of U.S. festival dates, along with a European and U.K. tour. And according to founding member Shawn “Clown” Crahan, that’s not all fans can expect in 2024.

When asked in a recent interview if Slipknot plans to play the album in full on tour, the percussionist had a blunt response. “Are you joking right now? You’re talking about the anniversary of one of the greatest metal albums to ever release in the thought process known as reality,” Crahan told Kerrang! “You think for one moment that this album isn’t going to be played in its entirety in front of, like, a hundred people, 200 people, 300 people, 50,000 people. I’m not going to live forever, man. Neither is everybody else. Things are changing very quickly. I ain’t got no more time to f— around.”

He also suggested the band would be playing some surprise shows this year too. “We’re going to have fun, too. So that means small shows and you won’t know until you hear it. And if you heard it, you’re already too late and you’re not going to see it. So you better open up your soul, because then you’ll feel it and you won’t have to hear it, because I’m being very serious,” he said. “It’s really going to be an exciting 2024, and I think things are going to happen that you wouldn’t think ever could.”

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Weezer’s self-titled debut album, famously known as “The Blue Album,” and it sounds like they’re scheming something exciting—they just haven’t revealed what it is yet.

“We are going to give it its due respect and come out with a really amazing deluxe package with a bunch of additional material, and of course, we’ve gotta do some kind of epic tour,” frontman Rivers Cuomo told Collider.

The alt-rock heroes are scheduled to play the Shaky Knees festival in Atlanta this May and have a handful of U.K. tour dates with the Smashing Pumpkins in June, but other than that, 2024 is a clean slate. There might be a reason for that. “I think the public tour dates cut off in June and then there’s this very suspicious blank space in our calendar for months after that,” Cuomo said, “so I’d keep your eye on that.”

“The Blue Album” features two of Weezer’s biggest hits: “Say It Ain’t So” and “Undone (The Sweater Song).”

But the true joy clearly came from shouting along with Doughty, who encouraged the audience to count to 100 with him in “Casiotone Nation” (which sort of makes sense in context) and, in the final encore of “Super Bon Bon,” to yelp the refrain “Too fat, fat / You must cut lean / You better take the elevator to the mezzanine” (not so much). Will this tour win over new fans to Soul Coughing’s sometimes impenetrable music? Probably not, but it doesn’t matter: for those that care, every one of these shows, however many they end up doing before angrily splitting up again, just might be one of the best nights ever.

10 popular '90s artists going on tour in 2024

( Stacker ) - Every era seems to make a comeback decades later, and as of the late 2010s, the 1990s revival has officially been in full swing. In the past several years, we’ve seen fashion trends like Adidas slides and bucket hats become stylish again, while studios have rebooted popular ‘90s movies, like the “Scream” franchise, and TV shows like “Saved by the Bell” and “Full House”—and it doesn’t stop there.

Reunion tours have also seen a resurgence, with ‘90s artists ranging from TLC and the Fugees to Blondie stepping foot on stage for the first time in years. Fans are willing to fork out big bucks to see their favorite groups get back together, and many artists are capitalizing on the interest, while others would rather generate buzz about a potential reunion (we’re looking at you, ‘N Sync).

There are also ‘90s bands that never stopped touring and are now cashing in on nostalgia in other ways, like album anniversary tours.

This year sees the trend continue, with Creed announcing their first shows in 12 years and Blink-182 continuing their highly anticipated reunion tour with Tom DeLonge. Other acts, like Weezer and Sarah McLachlan, are celebrating milestone album anniversaries in big ways, and New Kids on the Block are reprising their famous “Magic Summer” tour.

To help original fans and younger crowds discover these artists for the first time, Stacker compiled a list of 10 popular ‘90s artists going on tour in 2024 with the help of music publications and press releases. Read on to see who’s hitting the road this year and what makes their tour special.

In October 2023, Creed surprised fans by announcing their first tour in over a decade. Billed as the “Summer of ‘99 Tour,” the post-grunge band plans to hit the road in 2024 for a 40-show run featuring fellow ‘90s rockers 3 Doors Down as support for most shows.

“I feel like I’m as strong as I’ve ever been vocally, and looking forward to sharing the stage with the guys again,” frontman Scott Stapp said in a statement about the tour. “The fans have clearly let us know they feel it’s long overdue. I want to give them what they deserve. I’m ready to bring it.”

Creed released four studio albums between 1997 and 2009. Their sophomore album, 1999′s “Human Clay,” helped them reach superstar status and has sold 11.7 million copies.

Hootie & the Blowfish

Before becoming a country sensation in 2008, rocker Darius Rucker fronted Hootie & the Blowfish. The band’s 1994 debut album, “Cracked Rear View,” catapulted them into mainstream fame and is still among the top 10 best-selling albums in U.S. history, nearly 30 years after its release.

The alt-rockers announced in November 2023 that they’re hitting the road on the “Summer Camp With Trucks Tour” in 2024, accompanied by fellow ‘90s stars Collective Soul as well as musician Edwin McCain. The 43-date North American trek is Hootie & the Blowfish’s first tour since 2019.

Hootie guitarist Mark Bryan reminisced about the band’s previous adventures, recalling McCain likening the experience of touring with the band to “summer camp with trucks.” That experience is “exactly how we want next year to feel, too,” Bryan said in a statement about the upcoming shows.

Shania Twain

Shania Twain is gearing up to spend the latter half of 2024 in Las Vegas, performing her 24-date “Come On Over” residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s Bakkt Theater. This is quite a comeback, considering the country star went nearly a decade without singing at all after contracting Lyme disease in 2003. In 2011, after undergoing two “open-throat” surgeries, Twain could project her voice again—and that’s a reason to celebrate, for both Twain and her fans.

Twain reflected on her overwhelming success in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, telling Billboard, “It’s funny, because I don’t have very vivid memories of that time, because it was such a whirlwind.” After releasing 1997′s “Come On Over,” Twain said: “It was single after single, and video after video. It was as if I couldn’t keep up. … I was hands-on with everything, and it exhausted me. So I didn’t get to enjoy a lot of it in the moment. But I’m celebrating now.”

“Come On Over” produced seven #1 singles and is the bestselling album by a solo woman artist in history.

In 2022, Blink-182 set fans into a frenzy when they reunited with guitarist Tom DeLonge after a seven-year hiatus and announced a 2023 world tour. After DeLonge’s departure from the band in 2015, Blink continued releasing music and touring with Matt Skiba, but 2023 marked the first time the band’s classic lineup took the stage together in nearly a decade. That same year, they released a new album called “One More Time” and will be touring the world again in 2024.

While the reunion news was happy, the reason behind it was less so: Bassist Mark Hoppus was diagnosed with cancer in 2021, and his illness is what rekindled his relationship with DeLonge.

“When he told me he was sick, that’s the gnarliest… like, nothing matters, really,” DeLonge recalled in a trailer promoting “One More Time.” “It wasn’t about fame or money or how big Blink was or anything, it was like, ‘You’re gonna get through this s—, and we’re gonna go dominate.’” Hoppus announced he was cancer-free in September 2021.

This isn’t the first time Blink’s classic lineup has reunited since Travis Barker joined the band in 1998. They also took an extended hiatus in 2005 before reuniting four years later.

Sarah McLachlan

Sarah McLachlan is hitting the road in 2024 for the first time since 2016 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her 1993 album “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.” The 30-date tour will see the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter play her third album, plus some other hits.

“It’s such a fun concept to play a record start to finish,” she told Today.com about the anniversary tour, describing “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy” as her “personal favorite” and “the easiest record I ever wrote.”

The album features singles like “Good Enough,” “Possession,” and “Hold On” and was the Canadian musician’s first album to enter the U.S. charts.

Green Day is going all out in 2024 with a tour that celebrates three albums: their latest record, “Saviors”; 2004′s “American Idiot”; and 1994′s “Dookie.” “The Saviors Tour” promises to harken back to the ‘90s, with the Smashing Pumpkins, the Linda Lindas, and Rancid accompanying the band as support for the North American leg.

“Dookie” was Green Day’s breakthrough album, featuring the singles “Welcome to Paradise,” “Basket Case,” “Longview,” and “When I Come Around.” It’s the third album in their discography, and “Saviors” marks their 14th.

Yes, Pantera originated in the ‘80s, but it was their 1990 album “Cowboys from Hell” that transformed the band from glam rock nobodies into metal icons, launching them into superstardom. Thirteen years after “Cowboys,” the band split acrimoniously, and a reunion didn’t seem to be in the cards—especially after the deaths of founding members and brothers “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott in 2004 and Vinnie Paul Abbott in 2018.

After a handful of shows in 2022, however, a full-blown reunion took place in 2023 and is continuing in 2024. Guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante will join longtime members Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown to celebrate the legacies of the late founding members.

“Only thing I can say is, man, I know for a d— fact Vince and Dime would want us to do this, hands down,” Anselmo told The Metallica Report podcast of the reunion. “They would want the Pantera brand or the legacy to go on. And I don’t know what you believe in, but sometimes, you know, you would like to think that them old fellas are looking down on us, giving us the thumbs-up.”

New Kids on the Block

Before there was ‘N Sync or the Backstreet Boys, there was New Kids on the Block. The pioneering boy band got their start in the late ‘80s, but NKOTB is still synonymous with the ‘90s. This year, they’re celebrating that era with the “Magic Summer 2024″ tour, kicking off in June.

The string of shows is a callback to the group’s 1990 “Magic Summer Tour” and will feature support from two other ‘90s icons: Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

“The true ‘magic’ of this tour is in the music, the moments and the memories that we get to create—and recreate—with our amazing fans each night,” NKOTB’s Donnie Wahlberg said in a statement. “Feeling all the nostalgic feels of the original Magic Summer, with the bond that we’ve shared throughout the years, will make for a most magical time indeed.”

Slipknot played their first show at the end of 1995 under the moniker Meld, but it was the release of their 1999 self-titled debut album that solidified their place as metal icons. With 2024 marking the album’s 25th anniversary, the masked rockers have big plans: Slipknot has already announced a handful of U.S. festival dates, along with a European and U.K. tour. And according to founding member Shawn “Clown” Crahan, that’s not all fans can expect in 2024.

When asked in a recent interview if Slipknot plans to play the album in full on tour, the percussionist had a blunt response. “Are you joking right now? You’re talking about the anniversary of one of the greatest metal albums to ever release in the thought process known as reality,” Crahan told Kerrang! “You think for one moment that this album isn’t going to be played in its entirety in front of, like, a hundred people, 200 people, 300 people, 50,000 people. I’m not going to live forever, man. Neither is everybody else. Things are changing very quickly. I ain’t got no more time to f— around.”

He also suggested the band would be playing some surprise shows this year too. “We’re going to have fun, too. So that means small shows and you won’t know until you hear it. And if you heard it, you’re already too late and you’re not going to see it. So you better open up your soul, because then you’ll feel it and you won’t have to hear it, because I’m being very serious,” he said. “It’s really going to be an exciting 2024, and I think things are going to happen that you wouldn’t think ever could.”

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Weezer’s self-titled debut album, famously known as “The Blue Album,” and it sounds like they’re scheming something exciting—they just haven’t revealed what it is yet.

“We are going to give it its due respect and come out with a really amazing deluxe package with a bunch of additional material, and of course, we’ve gotta do some kind of epic tour,” frontman Rivers Cuomo told Collider.

The alt-rock heroes are scheduled to play the Shaky Knees festival in Atlanta this May and have a handful of U.K. tour dates with the Smashing Pumpkins in June, but other than that, 2024 is a clean slate. There might be a reason for that. “I think the public tour dates cut off in June and then there’s this very suspicious blank space in our calendar for months after that,” Cuomo said, “so I’d keep your eye on that.”

“The Blue Album” features two of Weezer’s biggest hits: “Say It Ain’t So” and “Undone (The Sweater Song).”

The two friends – who performed together last fall at a Fatone-led ‘90s-themed concert in Tampa – will kick off their jaunt March 15 in Temecula, California before primarily rolling down the East Coast with shows in Boston, Connecticut, New Jersey and Florida among their eight announced dates.

A pre-sale with VIP packages begins Jan. 10 with the public onsale at 1 p.m. ET Jan. 12. Tickets can be purchased here.

The pair also plans to share stories from their years on the road and offer “comedy and intimate conversations.”

"I’ve known AJ as long as I’ve known my own band members. We’ve worked together in the past on one-off projects here and there but never had the opportunity to create something together. This tour gives us the chance to combine the best of both musical worlds,” Fatone said in a statement. “I hope our fans are ready for a show that'll take them on a journey through the magic of *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and everything-in-between.”

McLean added that the tour will provide “the perfect chance to listen to old favorites and share some special new songs that our loyal fans will be the first to hear!”

Fatone reunited with his *NSYNC mates in November to release their first single in nearly 20 years, “Better Place,” for the “Trolls Band Together” soundtrack. The fivesome – Fatone, Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick – also ignited headlines with a joint public appearance at the 2023 MTV VMAs.

McLean, meanwhile, has kept busy with his Backstreet Boys brethren – Kevin Richardson, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and Brian Littrell – with a 2022 Christmas album and recently wrapped worldwide DNA Tour.

10 popular '90s artists going on tour in 2024

( Stacker ) - Every era seems to make a comeback decades later, and as of the late 2010s, the 1990s revival has officially been in full swing. In the past several years, we’ve seen fashion trends like Adidas slides and bucket hats become stylish again, while studios have rebooted popular ‘90s movies, like the “Scream” franchise, and TV shows like “Saved by the Bell” and “Full House”—and it doesn’t stop there.

Reunion tours have also seen a resurgence, with ‘90s artists ranging from TLC and the Fugees to Blondie stepping foot on stage for the first time in years. Fans are willing to fork out big bucks to see their favorite groups get back together, and many artists are capitalizing on the interest, while others would rather generate buzz about a potential reunion (we’re looking at you, ‘N Sync).

There are also ‘90s bands that never stopped touring and are now cashing in on nostalgia in other ways, like album anniversary tours.

This year sees the trend continue, with Creed announcing their first shows in 12 years and Blink-182 continuing their highly anticipated reunion tour with Tom DeLonge. Other acts, like Weezer and Sarah McLachlan, are celebrating milestone album anniversaries in big ways, and New Kids on the Block are reprising their famous “Magic Summer” tour.

To help original fans and younger crowds discover these artists for the first time, Stacker compiled a list of 10 popular ‘90s artists going on tour in 2024 with the help of music publications and press releases. Read on to see who’s hitting the road this year and what makes their tour special.

In October 2023, Creed surprised fans by announcing their first tour in over a decade. Billed as the “Summer of ‘99 Tour,” the post-grunge band plans to hit the road in 2024 for a 40-show run featuring fellow ‘90s rockers 3 Doors Down as support for most shows.

“I feel like I’m as strong as I’ve ever been vocally, and looking forward to sharing the stage with the guys again,” frontman Scott Stapp said in a statement about the tour. “The fans have clearly let us know they feel it’s long overdue. I want to give them what they deserve. I’m ready to bring it.”

Creed released four studio albums between 1997 and 2009. Their sophomore album, 1999′s “Human Clay,” helped them reach superstar status and has sold 11.7 million copies.

Hootie & the Blowfish

Before becoming a country sensation in 2008, rocker Darius Rucker fronted Hootie & the Blowfish. The band’s 1994 debut album, “Cracked Rear View,” catapulted them into mainstream fame and is still among the top 10 best-selling albums in U.S. history, nearly 30 years after its release.

The alt-rockers announced in November 2023 that they’re hitting the road on the “Summer Camp With Trucks Tour” in 2024, accompanied by fellow ‘90s stars Collective Soul as well as musician Edwin McCain. The 43-date North American trek is Hootie & the Blowfish’s first tour since 2019.

Hootie guitarist Mark Bryan reminisced about the band’s previous adventures, recalling McCain likening the experience of touring with the band to “summer camp with trucks.” That experience is “exactly how we want next year to feel, too,” Bryan said in a statement about the upcoming shows.

Shania Twain

Shania Twain is gearing up to spend the latter half of 2024 in Las Vegas, performing her 24-date “Come On Over” residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s Bakkt Theater. This is quite a comeback, considering the country star went nearly a decade without singing at all after contracting Lyme disease in 2003. In 2011, after undergoing two “open-throat” surgeries, Twain could project her voice again—and that’s a reason to celebrate, for both Twain and her fans.

Twain reflected on her overwhelming success in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, telling Billboard, “It’s funny, because I don’t have very vivid memories of that time, because it was such a whirlwind.” After releasing 1997′s “Come On Over,” Twain said: “It was single after single, and video after video. It was as if I couldn’t keep up. … I was hands-on with everything, and it exhausted me. So I didn’t get to enjoy a lot of it in the moment. But I’m celebrating now.”

“Come On Over” produced seven #1 singles and is the bestselling album by a solo woman artist in history.

In 2022, Blink-182 set fans into a frenzy when they reunited with guitarist Tom DeLonge after a seven-year hiatus and announced a 2023 world tour. After DeLonge’s departure from the band in 2015, Blink continued releasing music and touring with Matt Skiba, but 2023 marked the first time the band’s classic lineup took the stage together in nearly a decade. That same year, they released a new album called “One More Time” and will be touring the world again in 2024.

While the reunion news was happy, the reason behind it was less so: Bassist Mark Hoppus was diagnosed with cancer in 2021, and his illness is what rekindled his relationship with DeLonge.

“When he told me he was sick, that’s the gnarliest… like, nothing matters, really,” DeLonge recalled in a trailer promoting “One More Time.” “It wasn’t about fame or money or how big Blink was or anything, it was like, ‘You’re gonna get through this s—, and we’re gonna go dominate.’” Hoppus announced he was cancer-free in September 2021.

This isn’t the first time Blink’s classic lineup has reunited since Travis Barker joined the band in 1998. They also took an extended hiatus in 2005 before reuniting four years later.

Sarah McLachlan

Sarah McLachlan is hitting the road in 2024 for the first time since 2016 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her 1993 album “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.” The 30-date tour will see the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter play her third album, plus some other hits.

“It’s such a fun concept to play a record start to finish,” she told Today.com about the anniversary tour, describing “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy” as her “personal favorite” and “the easiest record I ever wrote.”

The album features singles like “Good Enough,” “Possession,” and “Hold On” and was the Canadian musician’s first album to enter the U.S. charts.

Green Day is going all out in 2024 with a tour that celebrates three albums: their latest record, “Saviors”; 2004′s “American Idiot”; and 1994′s “Dookie.” “The Saviors Tour” promises to harken back to the ‘90s, with the Smashing Pumpkins, the Linda Lindas, and Rancid accompanying the band as support for the North American leg.

“Dookie” was Green Day’s breakthrough album, featuring the singles “Welcome to Paradise,” “Basket Case,” “Longview,” and “When I Come Around.” It’s the third album in their discography, and “Saviors” marks their 14th.

Yes, Pantera originated in the ‘80s, but it was their 1990 album “Cowboys from Hell” that transformed the band from glam rock nobodies into metal icons, launching them into superstardom. Thirteen years after “Cowboys,” the band split acrimoniously, and a reunion didn’t seem to be in the cards—especially after the deaths of founding members and brothers “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott in 2004 and Vinnie Paul Abbott in 2018.

After a handful of shows in 2022, however, a full-blown reunion took place in 2023 and is continuing in 2024. Guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante will join longtime members Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown to celebrate the legacies of the late founding members.

“Only thing I can say is, man, I know for a d— fact Vince and Dime would want us to do this, hands down,” Anselmo told The Metallica Report podcast of the reunion. “They would want the Pantera brand or the legacy to go on. And I don’t know what you believe in, but sometimes, you know, you would like to think that them old fellas are looking down on us, giving us the thumbs-up.”

New Kids on the Block

Before there was ‘N Sync or the Backstreet Boys, there was New Kids on the Block. The pioneering boy band got their start in the late ‘80s, but NKOTB is still synonymous with the ‘90s. This year, they’re celebrating that era with the “Magic Summer 2024″ tour, kicking off in June.

The string of shows is a callback to the group’s 1990 “Magic Summer Tour” and will feature support from two other ‘90s icons: Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

“The true ‘magic’ of this tour is in the music, the moments and the memories that we get to create—and recreate—with our amazing fans each night,” NKOTB’s Donnie Wahlberg said in a statement. “Feeling all the nostalgic feels of the original Magic Summer, with the bond that we’ve shared throughout the years, will make for a most magical time indeed.”

Slipknot played their first show at the end of 1995 under the moniker Meld, but it was the release of their 1999 self-titled debut album that solidified their place as metal icons. With 2024 marking the album’s 25th anniversary, the masked rockers have big plans: Slipknot has already announced a handful of U.S. festival dates, along with a European and U.K. tour. And according to founding member Shawn “Clown” Crahan, that’s not all fans can expect in 2024.

When asked in a recent interview if Slipknot plans to play the album in full on tour, the percussionist had a blunt response. “Are you joking right now? You’re talking about the anniversary of one of the greatest metal albums to ever release in the thought process known as reality,” Crahan told Kerrang! “You think for one moment that this album isn’t going to be played in its entirety in front of, like, a hundred people, 200 people, 300 people, 50,000 people. I’m not going to live forever, man. Neither is everybody else. Things are changing very quickly. I ain’t got no more time to f— around.”

He also suggested the band would be playing some surprise shows this year too. “We’re going to have fun, too. So that means small shows and you won’t know until you hear it. And if you heard it, you’re already too late and you’re not going to see it. So you better open up your soul, because then you’ll feel it and you won’t have to hear it, because I’m being very serious,” he said. “It’s really going to be an exciting 2024, and I think things are going to happen that you wouldn’t think ever could.”

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Weezer’s self-titled debut album, famously known as “The Blue Album,” and it sounds like they’re scheming something exciting—they just haven’t revealed what it is yet.

“We are going to give it its due respect and come out with a really amazing deluxe package with a bunch of additional material, and of course, we’ve gotta do some kind of epic tour,” frontman Rivers Cuomo told Collider.

“The Blue Album” features two of Weezer’s biggest hits: “Say It Ain’t So” and “Undone (The Sweater Song).”

I’m not going to live forever, man. Neither is everybody else. Things are changing very quickly. I ain’t got no more time to f— around.”

He also suggested the band would be playing some surprise shows this year too. “We’re going to have fun, too. So that means small shows and you won’t know until you hear it. And if you heard it, you’re already too late and you’re not going to see it. So you better open up your soul, because then you’ll feel it and you won’t have to hear it, because I’m being very serious,” he said. “It’s really going to be an exciting 2024, and I think things are going to happen that you wouldn’t think ever could.”

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Weezer’s self-titled debut album, famously known as “The Blue Album,” and it sounds like they’re scheming something exciting—they just haven’t revealed what it is yet.

“We are going to give it its due respect and come out with a really amazing deluxe package with a bunch of additional material, and of course, we’ve gotta do some kind of epic tour,” frontman Rivers Cuomo told Collider.

The alt-rock heroes are scheduled to play the Shaky Knees festival in Atlanta this May and have a handful of U.K. tour dates with the Smashing Pumpkins in June, but other than that, 2024 is a clean slate. There might be a reason for that. “I think the public tour dates cut off in June and then there’s this very suspicious blank space in our calendar for months after that,” Cuomo said, “so I’d keep your eye on that.”

“The Blue Album” features two of Weezer’s biggest hits: “Say It Ain’t So” and “Undone (The Sweater Song).”

Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah may not have reached its heights without Australia

By Daniel Miles

When Jeff Buckley's hauntingly beautiful studio album Grace was released 30 years ago, the US Billboard charts' response was muted at best.

It was August, 1994. 

Disney's The Lion King soundtrack had a stranglehold on top spot, only to be eclipsed by Boyz II Men and Eric Clapton thereafter. 

Grace limped its way to 149 in the US Billboard 200, having been met with middling reviews.

Rolling Stone gave it just three stars — labelling Buckley a singer "who doesn't know what he wants to be", dismissing his now seminal cover of Hallelujah as "not battered or desperate enough".

With the benefit of hindsight — three decades worth, in fact — both Buckley and his debut album are viewed in a much different light.

Grace is a striking look at the unfulfilled promise of one of the 90s' brightest stars, a turning point from the post-grunge scrambling of the Seattle sound to a heart-wrenchingly open, honest and beautiful sound full of vulnerability and mastery. 

And in Australia, that was known well upon release. And without need for hindsight. 

Everybody here wants you

While much of the world learned of Buckley's musical beauty posthumously, Australia adored him in his prime. 

Buckley's first and only studio album rocketed to the top 10 in the ARIA charts upon its release in early 1995, eventually peaking at ninth position.

As Seattle's iconic grunge continued to develop and Pearl Jam's Vitalogy broke all number of Billboard records, Buckley's dulcet melodies were firing up Australian charts like nowhere else. 

"Why Australia in particular? It's a tricky one," Buckley biographer Jeff Apter said.

"I think it's something to do with authenticity. Australian audiences can really spot a bullshitter.

"And when they saw him play they knew, it was like, no, this guy's real. He's bleeding on stage, that's absolutely authentic." 

Grace would eventually sell more than 560,000 copies in Australia and reach eight-times platinum status. 

"The reality is, though Australia was one of the markets that embraced Jeff early on, in the States, when Grace came out, it was seen as a very big disappointment," author Alan Light told Double J's The J Files . 

"It wasn't really that popular in his lifetime. It didn't have that big an impact; he didn't have that big an impact."

France was the other market where Grace shined — receiving gold certification.

Kick out the jams

Buckley toured Australia twice before his death, with his shows down under subsequently being seen as the stuff of legend.

"It was, and still is, as close to a perfect concert I’ve ever seen," former Triple J director Richard Kingsmill said during the album's 20th anniversary celebrations .

Buckley's mother, Mary Guibert, told the ABC after her son's death that he loved his time in Australia.  

"He loved Australia, adored Australia," Ms Guibert said.

"It was so exciting for him to be there, the response was that palpable for him."

A secret chord

Buckley died after wading into a section of the Wolf River in Memphis on May 29, 1997, singing the chorus of Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love before a passing tugboat pulled the 30-year-old under and into its wake. 

His body was discovered five days later downstream near the iconic Beale Street, the home and heartland of Memphis blues.

Ten years later, his cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah was finally released as a single, reaching number one on the US Billboard Digital Songs Sales chart the following year. 

"In Hallelujah … it was as if he recorded his own epitaph. It became the song that was affiliated with him after his death and I think took on a lot of his other emotion and meaning," Light said.

Grace is now considered an inimitable classic.

David Bowie was quoted in Rolling Stone as naming Grace the best album ever made, while Bob Dylan considered Buckley to be one of the greatest songwriters of the decade.

His idols, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, both raved about the album, with Page at one stage labelling it the album of the 90s

Our last goodbye

Australian singer-songwriter Katie Noonan was enamoured by Jeff Buckley the moment his music hit our shores.  

It was while watching Buckley perform at an RSL on the Gold Coast with her brother, Tyrone, and other founding members of her band george that Noonan had her Buckley moment.

"A bevy of us went down to kneel at the alter of Jeff, and the concert was so full-on that my brother almost fainted three times," Noonan said. 

"We were watching one of the greatest concerts of our lives, and it did really feel like we [Australians] embraced it, there's just something about that album and Australian audiences."

Noonan believes Grace has stood the test of time, aging like only a fine Lilac Wine can. 

It's part of why she's preparing a tribute concert for early 2025, where she'll play the entire album in full with a young band including her son Dexter on drums. 

"Grace was just such a seminal record in that it changed so many people's lives, and … it changed my life."

It was U2's Bono who described Buckley as "a pure drop in an ocean of noise". 

For Jeff Apter,  who utilised that quote in his book title A Pure Drop, Australia's instant love affair with Buckley kept the home fires burning while the rest of the world played catch-up  

"We kept it in people's ears, in their minds," he said. 

"The last tour he played with his recording band from Grace was here in Australia in Sydney, so you know, there's a lot of legacy but also history here."

And as for Rolling Stone? It changed it's tune, installing Grace and Buckley's cover of Hallelujah among the top 500 albums and songs of all time.
