Now a homestay could be anything from a basic stay at some once home to something that looks more like a small hotel. They are all small-scale accommodation, but not all of them offer a closer look into the local culture.

These homestays are also located in and around the villages of Sapa . The biggest benefits is that you can still enjoy the local feeling, only with modern day comforts. Thing about an AC in your room, private bathroom, comfortable bed with mattress and sometimes a small restaurant onside so you can pick your own food, instead of eating with the family.

Summary of the best Sapa homestays 

Map of the best sapa homestays.

Why stay in a Sapa homestay?

There are many advantages to staying in a homestay in Sapa. Homestays are often located in some of the most beautiful and tranquil locations. Don’t miss the beautiful Cat Cat village – immersed in rice terraces and mountains.

Whether it is surrounded by rice paddies, perched on a hillside or overlooking rivers and valleys – there are some amazing locations. Experience local life through the day from early morning until late evening.  

Many homestays in Sapa have been developed purposefully and integrate innovative style and features. Staying in a homestay is the best way to immerse yourself in the local culture. Hosts often invite guests to join them for meals – be prepared to enjoy copious amounts of delicious food and strong rice wine. 

Homestays are the perfect environment whether you want to learn more about H’mong food and traditions or just slow down and connect with nature. Staying in a homestay is a great way of supporting tribal communities in the region. 

Also don’t miss our FULL guide on trekking in Sapa .

What are Sapa homestays actually like? 

We absolutely loved our time exploring amazing Sapa homestays. This really is a unique way to immerse yourself in rural life and experience H’mong culture. Sapa homestays are beautiful but a little basic. If you’re looking for stunning scenery, peace and tranquility, Sapa homestays deliver. However, if you’re looking for high levels of comfort, convenience and luxury we recommend that you consider some of the 5 star hotels in Sapa or Hanoi. 

Some Challenges of a Sapa homestay

Here are some of the challenges you may experience in a Sapa homestay: 

• Language barrier: You may need to be creative and patient in the way you communicate. Many of the locals in Sapa don’t speak English. They are however very accustomed to a language barrier and most hosts can tune into your needs quickly. 
• Cold weather: Sapa is a mountain climate and it can get cold – especially in winter. Some of these homestays can get a bit chilly. We recommend bringing some extra layers and speak to your host if you need more bedding. 
• Power outages: Another challenge that you might face in Sapa is power cuts (especially in bad weather)
• Rough roads: One of the big challenges of getting to your Sapa homestay is the road quality (or lack thereof). Some of the roads leading to the villages around Sapa are unpaved and rocky. At times you can get small localized floods. Also be aware that some of the roads are very steep. 
• Small range of food: Another thing you are likely to experience at your homestay is a limited range of food. Homestays may offer an extensive menu but only have certain items available at any given time. This depends on what they can get at the market and what they have in stock.
• Limited local products: You may also find it challenging to get certain products locally.
• Limited connectivity: Wifi and mobile signal can also be limited. Some homestays may offer reasonable wifi but we don’t recommend relying on this. Mobile signal can also be very weak too. 

Hopefully you’re not put off? Many of the challenges can actually be seen as a positive part of the homestay experience. So our advice? Disconnect from screens, reconnect with nature, slow down and absorb the experience. 

What things do Sapa homestays normally include? 

A good Sapa homestay should include a private room with ensuite bathroom, breakfast, hot shower, free Wi-Fi (although this is variable) and help arranging transport and booking tours. Some homestays may also include things like an outdoor swimming pool, motorbike rental, cooking experiences and opportunities to learn about local life and culture. 

How do you get to the homestays around Sapa?

The first challenge is getting to Sapa. There are four ways to travel from Hanoi to Sapa . You can take a bus, a limo van, a sleeper train to Sapa OR rent a car and drive.

Most of the homestays that we recommend in this article are located within 15km of Sapa town. The drive normally takes around 30 minutes or more due to hills and the road conditions. 

The most common way to access home stays from sapa is to use local taxis. This can be challenging because there are no taxi apps available in this region. So you cannot use Gojek to request a taxi. Taxi drivers may try to charge more due to the touristy nature of the area.

In order to get to your home stay from Sapa you will need to go old school and flag a taxi at the side of the road. You will need to show them where you are going and agree on a price. They are unlikely to go on the taxi meter for long journeys.  The price is likely to range between  200,000VND to 300,000VND depending on the distance. Some homestays can also organize a taxi service for you. 

Your host will probably need to help you organize your return taxi back to sapa. Homestay hosts and taxi drivers are familiar with doing this so don’t worry if it is not organized beforehand. 

What is the food like in Sapa homestays? 

Local food in this region is not very spicy. onions, ginger and garlic are commonly used to flavor foods. Some very common dishes include Vietnamese hot pot which is served with noodles, egg, tofu and sometimes meat. BBQ food is also common in this area including barbecued sticky rice and BBQ meat. You can also find interesting foods such as a water buffalo, beef jerky and Pho soup is a very common dish. Vietnamese drip coffee, beer, soft drinks and rice wine are all common in this area.

Most Sapa homestays have a menu and offer food throughout the day. Many homestays will include breakfast with your room, and some may also include lunch or dinner. Make sure that you check exactly what is included when you book. In our opinion the food menus at Sapa homestays can be quite expensive and fairly basic. 

Sapa homestays may have extensive menus, BUT they are only normally able to offer a limited range of dishes. This normally depends on what they have in stock and what is available at the market. You may also find it challenging to buy certain products locally, there are small shops around however the stock can be limited and variable. Therefore we recommend planning to bring any snacks that you may need with you. 

TOP TIP: The rural food is not great if you have special dietary requirements. We recommend planning snacks, supplements and supplies as needed. 

Top tips for making the most of your Sapa homestay

• Contact your host to confirm check in times and swap numbers
• Bring several warm layers and waterproofs
• Bring comfortable walking shoes (ideally waterproof)
• Bring swimming stuff (if your homestay has a pool)
• Bring any snacks you will need (or want!)
• Bring plenty of money (the only ATM machines are in Sapa town)
• Download google translate and save the Vietnamese language offline
• Download maps.me and make sure you have the Sapa region available offline
• Let friends and family know that you may be out of signal for a while
• Pack a good book and prepare to chill out
• Most homestays provide toilet paper but it may be worth having some spare! 

1 Sapa Plum Homestay (Sapa town)

Looking for a homestay that has the perfect balance of rural tranquility and urban convenience? Check out the peaceful Sapa Plum Homestay. This no-thrills property is affordable, simple and immersed in beautiful gardens and farmland. We absolutely loved our stay here. It genuinely feels like a retreat. Sapa Plum Homestay doesn’t have any wifi. The property is very simple with a garden and small area to make drinks. 

Surrounded by lush farmland and rolling hills, this really is a dreamy place to stay if you’re attracted to a simple and beautiful stay. Rooms at the Sapa Plum Homestay have bathtubs and private bathrooms. The main downside of Sapa Plum? The closest food is in town which is around 10 – 15 minutes walk. You may find it helpful to stock up on snacks and noodles.  There is no kitchen, menu or food available at this homestay.

Also we mentioned that there is not any wifi at Sapa Plum homestay. Mobile signal can be limited here too. This is a great place to disconnect from tech and reconnect with nature. 

Rooms typically range between £10 – £20 per night here. Overall this is pretty good value for money.

2 Sapa Tatu Homestay (Sapa town)

This lovely little homestay provides picturesque, affordable and comfortable accommodation and an excellent location in Sapa town. The hostess is super lovely and cooks amazing food – the portions are generous and delicious (dinner costs around 120,000VND). 

It is around 10 minutes from the lake by walking. The Sapa Tatu homestay is surrounded by lush gardens and they also offer amazing fresh local mountain food. Breakfast is included with rooms (always check when you book). Not bad for one of the cheapest places to stay in Sapa. 

Rooms are cozy and comfortable even in colder weather. Hot water can be a little limited at times – but you should still be able to get a hot shower. We would encourage you to book early as this really is one of the BEST budget options around.  They also have a quadruple room – great for families on a budget! 

Rooms generally range between £10 – £20 at this homestay.

3 Homestay 715 (Sapa town)

Homestay 715 is another brilliant option at the budget end. It is situated on a hill on the west side of Sapa town (around 15 minutes walk from the lake and around 10 minutes from Sapa Central square). The hostess Lily is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We love the flexibility at this homestay – whether you’re needing a late arrival or help booking a tour – they will do what they can to help. 

This marvelous homestay offers a unique combination of stunning mountain views AND a good location in Sapa town. There is a rooftop terrace with stunning views – and the rooms are also very comfortable and offer epic views too. They even offer a quadruple room (ensuite bathroom) – which makes this a great option for families. Homestay 715 includes a great breakfast too – but as ever double check this when you book. 

Rooms range between £15 – £30 at this homestay

4 Mintu Home (Sapa town)

This stunning homestay is located at the south of Sapa town (around 2km from the town centre). So this isn’t the best option if you want to be in the centre of Sapa. However, this homestay is in a remarkable location overlooking the stunning Lao Chai valley with great views of Fanispan and the surrounding mountains. The walk to town is around 20 – 30 minutes and there are also plenty of taxis around too. This is a great location for starting treks and exploring Cat Cat village. 

Ling and her family run this homestay with a generous and warm attitude. Rooms include a very good breakfast with a choice of Vietnamese and western food. Portions are generous and the food is fresh and tasty. Rooms are around £20. We strongly recommend reserving a room with a mountain view (these rooms are slightly more expensive but we reckon that it’s worth it!)

5 Stone Paradise Homestay (Cat Cat village)

This is a beautiful homestay located in Cat Cat Village. This is a H’mong ethnic village located a few kilometers to the west of Sapa (down the hill). The Stone Paradise homestay offers a range of rooms to accommodate different sized groups. This beautiful homestay is set amongst stunning surroundings. The host is very friendly and welcoming and they offer breakfast, dinner, craft, hiking tours and motorbike rental. They can also help you arrange a taxi. 

The Stone Paradise Homestay is one of the more expensive options in the Sapa area. The high price reflects the touristy area (don’t be put off – it is genuinely very beautiful). Rooms range in price from £20 – £70 per night. 

TOP TIP: If you are staying in Cat Cat village you will also need to pay for an entrance permit (only one needed for your whole stay). It costs 700,000VND per person. 

6 ChienDe Homestay (Cat Cat Village)

ChienDe Homestay is a beautiful and simple homestay located in the Cat Cat village. Chien and his family are very welcoming and greet guests with warm Vietnamese hospitality. They can offer treks around the area (and the prices are generally cheaper than booking through tour operators). ChienDe is located amongst beautiful farmland with water buffalo and rice paddies. 

We love the bright vibrant tribal designs in this homestay. Rooms generally range in price between £20 – £40 for this homestay. This is more expensive than average – a reflection of the touristy nature of Cat Cat village. Overall, we do still think this lovely place is worth a stay. 

7 Sapa Big Tree Hmong Homestay (Lao Chai village)

Sapa Big Tree homestay is a great option if you want to experience the best of Vietnamese hospitality immersed in stunning surroundings. This homestay is beautiful, small and simple. It is on the low end of the budget range and offers an authentic local experience. 

The hostess is called Co. She is extremely lovely and she has great English and she is also a very talented cook. We recommend that you also try dinner at this homestay. This would be a great starting point if you are planning a trek through the valley. Rooms range between £10 – £20 per night. 

8 Chapa Farmstay Mountain Retreat (Lao Chai village)

Chapa Farmstay is a stylish and comfortable homestay located in the Lao Chai Village area. This lovely homestay is located a few kilometers from the main road and offers a secluded sanctuary for unwinding. 

This is one of the more up-market homestay options around Sapa. We love the warm wooden design of this property.

Rooms are spacious, comfortable and offer excellent views of the beautiful valley. The family bungalow is very impressive – offering space, privacy and comfort. If a homestay can be luxurious – this is probably it. The food at Chapa Farmstay is excellent – tasty, fresh and healthy.

An excellent breakfast is included with rooms – but as ever, check this when you book. Chapa Farmstay can help arrange treks and tours. They can also rent motorbikes and arrange taxis for guests. Rooms generally range in price between £40 – £120 per night.

9 Amica House (Ta Van)

Amica House in Ta Van is genuinely superlative. This is one of the most impressive homestays in the Sapa area. This lovely homestay overlooks rice paddies, giving you the sense that you are suspended in the air. 

We are very impressed with the family room. This impressive suite can sleep up to 4 people (two large double beds). It also has a balcony for relaxing to amazing views. We love the cozy wooden rooms with large windows with panoramic mountain views. You can enjoy gazing at stunning mountains and paddies as you lay in bed. 

Hong, the hostess, welcomes guests and loves to share her local knowledge. She is also an amazing cook. Breakfast is tasty, fresh and healthy – the perfect start to your day! This homestay is also beautifully situated for trekking around Ta Van and the surrounding areas. Rooms range between £20 – £50 per night at Amica House.  

10 Plum Eco House (Ta Van)

The Plum Eco House is an amazing option if you’re staying in Ta Van village. This lovely homestay packs a lot of character and charm for the price. We love the country house interior design. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and artistically decorated. 

Rex and Rose (the hosts) speak great English. They are very hospitable and very willing to help you book a guided trek, find a taxi or get some local insight. The food is also delicious and the portions are very generous. Rooms range between £20 – £30 per night. 

11 Sapa Eco Hugo (Ta Van)

Immersed in lush green rice paddies, Sapa Eco Hugo is another great option located in Ta Van. This homestay has clean modern vibes with wooden interiors for a nice natural aesthetic. Large Windows afford plenty of natural light and offer panoramic views of the beautiful surroundings. They also offer a range of rooms including a family bungalow that can sleep up to 4 people. Rooms are spacious, cozy and very comfortable. 

The staff at this homestay speak excellent English and they are very helpful. They are willing to help you arrange treks, tours or book taxis. This homestay also offers excellent fresh food. The breakfast is particularly good with very tasty pancakes – the perfect way to start your day! Rooms range in price between £20 and £60 per night. 

12 Sapa’s Soul (Giang Ta Chai)

If you’re looking for another extraordinary homestay in the mountains around Sapa – don’t miss Sapa’s Soul. Beautifully situated overlooking the valley, this homestay offers hospitality, comfort and peace. Rooms are comfortable, cozy and come with a beautiful mountain view. 

The food at Sapa’s Soul is genuinely excellent – and you can even get involved and learn some local recipes. Some rooms have shared bathrooms and some have a private bathroom. Check when you book. Rooms range in price between £10 – £30. 

13 La Beauté Sa Pa (Giang Ta Chai)

La Beauté is a gorgeous property immersed in lush green farmland. We love the use of outdoor spaces at this homestay. Rooms are also cozy with wooden interiors and artistic tribal textiles. There is an excellent menu at La Beauté and the food is very good here.

We do recommend checking whether breakfast is included with your booking. 

The staff at La Beauté are very helpful. They speak good English and can help you arrange transport and book treks. This homestay is also located close to the main road allowing convenient transportation to Sapa and other attractions in the area.

This homestay is great value for money. Rooms are generally between £10 – £20 per night. 

14 Sau Meo Homestay (Su Pan village)

Sau Meo is a charming family run homestay located on a small village road in Su Pan village. There is a small outdoor swimming pool with stunning views over the valley. Sau Meo is surrounded by lush farmland and rice paddies. Rooms are small, clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated with wooden interiors. Get ready to run in for a hot shower after a swim. 

Sau Meo include breakfast with your room. There is a choice of fried rice, noodle soup and pancakes. The pancakes are very tasty! For other meals there is a menu of simple food – in our opinion the food is expensive for what you get. We weren’t impressed with the quality of food here – but the location and swimming pool are stunning. There are a couple of small local shops nearby but nowhere else to buy food. Rooms generally range in price from £10 – £20 per night. 

15 Pavi Home (Su Pan Village)

This unique and stylish homestay is located in the remote Su Pan village. We love muji-style interior design, with light pastel plastered walls and large windows for natural light. Rooms are comfortable and cozy. This homestay also displays beautiful artwork produced by a local artist.

Rooms include an excellent breakfast – choose between eggs, noodle soup or pancakes. Pavi homestay has a beautiful garden and enjoys amazing views over the valley. They offer a very tasty menu of fresh food. The Host also speaks excellent English and is very friendly and helpful.

The main disadvantage of Pavi home is the distance from Sapa. £25 – £45 per night.

In the hilly terrain of Ha Giang, using an automatic bike is less safe and environmentally friendly than opting for a semi-automatic or manual bike. The roads here are full of ups and downs, making it challenging for automatic bikes to handle the uneven surfaces, often resulting in breakdowns. Another safety issue is the lack of gears in automatic bikes, preventing them from engine braking effectively. In this post, we will learn how to drive a semi-automatic scooter so you can be confident to do the loop with Mama's homestay:  How to drive a semi-automatic scooter effectively (mamashomestay.com)

At All Japan Tours, we believe one of the best ways to learn and adapt to local customs is none other than staying with a welcoming Japanese family. Many international companies spend a fortune on educating staff members on increasing service value and hospitality through customer service, an area where Japan is second to none. Traditional homestays allow you to experience Japanese hospitality at its very best while learning the traditions of the country from a local’s point of view. It is the perfect way to broaden one’s international views and learn respect for different customs. Minshuku are family-operated, Japanese-style home accommodations. They are typically located in countryside cities, mountainous areas, or outside of tourist spots. For this reason, many homestay visitors have the opportunity to experience farming, net fishing, logging, and hand picking fresh produce. This is a great way to experience a traditional Japanese lifestyle, as well as to learn to appreciate many things we take for granted in the big city. Japanese homestays are seeing increasing popularity because they allow travelers to acquire and develop better conversational skills through various activities, such as learning how to play Japanese board games with the hosts or creating traditional art (ex. origami, ikebana). Enjoy homemade Japanese meals and learn the importance of Japanese table etiquette, an important experience that you will take with you wherever you are dining in Japan. Host families are usually enthused to show you their city and its attractions, so be prepared for activity-filled days and embrace your first-hand experience of Japanese culture. Many travelers after a Japanese homestay experience report learning emphasized respect for their elders, how to bow, eco-friendly practices, and an increase in Japanese vocabulary of course. Once you have stayed at a minshuku, you are guaranteed to apply these new experiences in the future, as well as gain a different outlook on life. This unique journey off the beaten path of Japan ensures both an educational and unforgettable life experience for the privileged student groups.

Plan your trip

When you contact us through e-mail or phone, we will discuss the type of trip and services you're interested in. There are many things to consider when planning your trip to Japan, such as your travel date, length of stay, destination cities, points of interest, and budget.

Many of our clients select one of our existing Group Tour itineraries and adjust it according to their interests, budget, and other modifications.

I hired All Japan Tours to organize the art tour which I curated. We worked on it for two years as this was a complicated trip with a lot of different locations, strict schedule, private viewing, and everything had to be on the highest level of hotels and food. The job that Kiyoshi and his team have done is exceptional. It was so well organized that everything was on time. They are flexible, detail oriented, and lovely to work with.

If you want one of the best tours of your life go with All Japan Tours and ask for Miss Kim. We went for our honeymoon and Miss Kim made it unforgettable. We experienced more than we could have imagined and she was exceptionally helpful and informative. Japan is the most beautiful place we have seen in our lives, and when we got home we missed both the country and Miss Kim. Thank you for all that you have done. We hope to come back again! You really made our honeymoon memorable.

The guide and bus driver were exceptional.

Everything about the tour was amazing! Our guide Miharu was a very big part of making the tour so fantastic. Her knowledge, guidance, assistance, storytelling, friendliness -- I can go on and on, and especially her humor and comedic skills had us all laughing and wanting more. She never failed to have an answer to our questions. Driver Harada-san was also so accommodating and pleasant to have as our driver -- he had the softest hands! I loved all the "hand on" activities - doing bonsai, woodcarving, making kamaboko, making tatami, dancing. It was also so special that Miharu was able to have the beautiful Japanese singer fly in just to entertain us on the bus. That was so special and I'm sure something that is not done for all tours.

Ms. Kawaguchi

Our tour was carefully curated to meet the diverse interests of our group. We had a group of family and friends, many who have traveled to Japan together several times before with a different company. AJT was by far superior in the sites and experiences they provided. The local tour guide was informative and funny and took the extra steps to make sure our tour would be memorable. We will definitely use AJT for our next trip. Thank you

Walking tour series of historic Pleasant Grove structures kicking off Monday

By laura giles - special to the daily herald | may 6, 2024.

Strolling around the quaint streets of Pleasant Grove, enjoying spring and summer weather and learning about the city’s historic homes and buildings: That’s what the Pleasant Grove Historic Preservation Commission’s Walking Tour Series is all about, and this year’s series begins Monday.

“If you attended one of our three tours last summer, you know that this is a great event! We feature one historic street a month with interior and exterior tours of its buildings. The tour also includes a walking tour booklet and refreshments,” reads a post on the commission’s Facebook page .

According to Laurel Cunningham, commission chairperson, the walking tour series first began in 2019, but it was not held again the following year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The series started up again last summer.

“We wanted to bring awareness to Pleasant Grove’s built history and the great stories that go along with the oldest homes in town,” Cunningham said. “We believe the Baba Dioum quote, ‘In the end, we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught.'” Dioum is a forestry engineer in Senegal.

Last year’s walking tours had a great turnout, according to Cunningham. About 300 people participated across the three tours that were hosted.

The first tour of this series will be held at 6 p.m. Monday. This tour will feature the commercial buildings and homes of historic Main Street. Main Street is part of the city’s historic downtown area. Those wanting to participate should meet at the northwest corner of Downtown Park, 100 S. Main St., to join the guided tour.

On July 15, the series continues with a tour of Center Street, above 100 East. On Aug. 26, the tour will include homes on 200 East, near 200 South.

Those taking the tour will learn about the people who built, worked and lived in the buildings as well as the buildings themselves. The tours are free and do not require tickets. A newly researched, 100-page walking tour book will be available for $10.

Pleasant Grove, like other Utah communities, has many historic buildings that ignite curiosity. The Walking Tour Series aims to satisfy some of the curiosity surrounding the history of the many buildings.

Recently, Cunningham and the commission received an award for rehabilitation and restoration from Preservation Utah in this year’s Community Stewardship Awards. The award was given for the restoration of the National Register-listed Old Town Hall, located at 105 S. 100 East. The historic building was transformed from a deteriorated state to a vibrant community space, according to a Preservation Utah post on Facebook.

For more information about the city’s history or the Walking Tour Series, check out the Pleasant Grove Historic Preservation Commission’s Facebook page.

Hard hat tours to give a glimpse of reimagined IMS museum a year ahead of its reopening

By Dominik Wilde May 6, 2024 12:05 PM

By Dominik Wilde | May 6, 2024 12:05 PM ET

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum might be undergoing a transformation right now, but you can still take a look inside thanks to a series of newly-announced “hard hat tours” which are taking place throughout the Month of May.

Beginning this Friday, May 10, guided tours of the main floor and the newly-constructed Mezzanine level (pictured above) of the museum will be offered to mark the one-year countdown until the reimagined museum opens its doors once again.

Members of the IMS Museum leadership team will lead the tours, which will also be taking place on Friday May 17, and Friday May 24, with museum president Joe Hale and vice president of curation and education Jason Vansickle also available by request.

The tours will allow visitors to learn more about the museum’s main floor and its new Mezzanine level, as well as all of the artifacts and exhibits – comprising over 55,000 items and 300 vehicles – that will occupy these spaces once it reopens next year.

With the museum currently an active construction site, guests will need to wear closed-toed shoes, while a safety vest, protective eyewear, and of course the aforementioned hard hat will be provided.

Just a Few of the Biggest Concert Tours of 2024, from Olivia Rodrigo to Bad Bunny

Posted: May 6, 2024 | Last updated: May 6, 2024

Listening to your favorite musician at home is fun, but there's nothing quite like the experience of singing along with them, and tons of more fans, live. And as luck would have it, 2024 is shaping up to be a massive year for some of the world's top musical acts, so chances are your favorite performer might be stopping at a city near you soon.

Ahead, we rounded up some of the biggest concert tours of 2024, ranging from Taylor Swift's mega-popular Eras Tour to Drake and J. Cole's exciting It's All A Blur Tour - Big as the What?—set to kick off this winter. You can also expect tour dates from classic icons like Stevie Nicks, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, and more.

1) Taylor Swift

Undoubtedly one of the biggest concert tours ever, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour will continue right through 2024. The international leg of the tour kicked off in Japan, where she played four shows in Tokyo. She'll also stop in Melbourne, Singapore, Paris, Madrid, London, Milan, and more before returning to the States to play in the fall.

There's nothing like seeing T. Swift IRL, but don't fret if you're unable to nab tickets—the Eras Tour movie is now available to stream from the comfort of your home.

2) Olivia Rodrigo

This is not a drill—"Drivers License" singer Olivia Rodrigo will be hitting the road on tour starting at the end of February. The Guts World Tour runs from February through mid-August and has dates in Nashville, Toronto, Chicago, and New York City, among others. Even cooler? Rodrigo will have a stacked list of special guests—like PinkPantheress, Remi Wolf, The Breeders, and Chappell Roan—with her.

3) Red Hot Chili Peppers

Did you hear the good news? The Red Hot Chili Peppers have extended their global tour through summer 2024. The buzzy stadium tour, which kicked off in June 2022, will now run until July 2024 and bring the California-based band to places like Los Angeles, Tampa, Toronto, and Salt Lake City.

4) Bad Bunny

It's fitting that "Monaco" rapper Bad Bunny titled his tour Most Wanted —it's slated to be one of the year's hottest tours. Planned to help promote his latest studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana , Most Wanted will kick off in Salt Lake City on February 21 and run through May 26.

5) Billy Joel

If you haven't yet seen Billy Joel perform live, there's still time! The Piano Man has added more tour dates to his schedule, stopping in cities like Tampa, New York, Denver, and St. Louis this year. Even more exciting? He'll share the stage with fellow iconic performers Sting and Stevie Nicks for some of these dates.

Mitski recently announced that she's expanding her North American tour dates , and we couldn't be more excited. The months-long tour, which supports her 2023 studio album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, has a long list of stops, including Miami Beach, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Paris.

There's nothing quite like a Madonna concert, that's for sure. The singer's Celebration Tour , which started last October, continues straight through the spring with dates in Seattle, San Francisco, Mexico City, and more. Besides her eye-catching sets, chart-topping songs, and impressive choreography, concertgoers also get a glimpse of the performer's fantastic costumes, which include looks from Versace and Jean Paul Gaultier.

8) Bleachers

The New Jersey-founded rock band, which is fronted by Jack Antonoff—known for producing albums for top acts like Taylor Swift, Lorde, and Lana Del Rey—not only has announced a new album but a new tour , too. The tour will start in the UK in March, ending fittingly in the band's home state of New Jersey in mid-June. Check out their newly released music video for "Tiny Moves" if you need a Bleachers fix in the meantime.

9) Nicki Minaj

Nicki fans rejoice: the rapper and singer might be coming to a city near you soon as part of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. The massive tour will include performances in Brooklyn, Oakland, and Baltimore, with stops at Dreamville Festival and Rolling Loud California along the way.

10) Blink 182

Live out all of your nineties and early aughts pop-punk dreams with one of Blink 182's One More Time Tour dates. The tour, which supports the band's ninth studio album, One More Time..., will bring the trio to cities all over the globe, including Sydney, Santiago, Portland, and Boston. The tour's supporting act is Pierce the Veil, which is also worth checking out.

11) Stevie Nicks

The oh-so-magical Stevie Nicks continues her touring streak with a bunch of 2024 concert dates . Set to begin in Atlantic City, NJ on February 10, Nicks will visit a dozen cities throughout the U.S. this year, such as New Orleans, Omaha, and Chicago. "Let's keep this party going in 2024," the singer-songwriter posted on her Instagram in September to announce the newly added tour dates.

12) The 1975

The 1975 is showing no signs of slowing down. The British band, famous for hits like "Somebody Else" and "Robbers," has extended their 2023 tour through 2024. Titled Still...At Their Very Best , the 22-date tour will open in Glasgow on February 8 and conclude in Amsterdam on March 24.

13) Drake and J. Cole

Rap greats Drake and J. Cole come together for the It's All a Blur Tour – Big As the What? which is guaranteed to be a good time. Drake, fresh off his 2023 It's All a Blur tour with 21 Savage, is set to hit dozens of cities starting in February, many of which J. Cole will also be in tow for. Scoop up tickets ASAP, as Drake's shows are known to sell out.

14) Janet Jackson

Superstar Janet Jackson is also extending her 2023 tour, Together Again , into 2024 with dates in Anaheim, Austin, New Orleans, and Hartford. Even cooler? Jackson's supporting act is the 2000s southern rap legend Nelly.

15) Rolling Stones

If you've ever dreamed of seeing the Rolling Stones perform live in person, now's your chance. The iconic rockers, who released their studio album Hackney Diamonds this past fall, are returning on the road for a 16-date tour with shows throughout the United States and Canada. Concertgoers can expect a mix of new tunes and Stones classics.

16) Bruce Springsteen

Famous for countless listenable hits like "Born to Run" and "Glory Days," Bruce Springsteen is set to embark on a massive world tour this year with his band, The E Street Band. The much-anticipated tour will take the Boss and his crew to cities such as Phoenix, San Diego, Dublin, and Madrid, from March through November.

17) John Mayer

Be sure to catch John Mayer's solo tour this year, which will bring the guitarist and crooner to cities throughout Europe. This leg, an extension of his popular 2023 solo tour, will kick off in Stockholm on March 13 and finish in Dublin on March 29.

18) Shania Twain

Okay, this one is technically a residency , but we're excited nonetheless. Shania Twain, most known for her incredible outfits (her hooded leopard print look, anyone?) and hits like "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" is setting up shop in Vegas starting May 10. Twain's residency will take place at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood on and off throughout December 2024.

All good things must come to an end. The Eagles, known for "Hotel California" and other amazing rock songs, began their final concert tour this winter. It launched in Phoenix on January 20, with March 16 as its last date in the United States. Eagles fans won't want to miss this one.

20) Alanis Morisette: The Triple Moon Tour

Alanis Morisette joins forces with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts for their 2024 Triple Moon Tour , which has dates in North America and Canada. This tour is a great one to catch this summer, as it's slated to run from June through August.
