Concerts Happening Early in 2026 You Don’t Want to Miss: Backstreet Boys, Lady Gaga and More

Live music is set for a huge year, with 2026 promising incredible concerts and standout artist performances. While many major tours kick off later in the year, there are several in-demand concerts happening in the early part of 2026. Here are the top January and February 2026 shows that fans have already been buying at SeatGeek and circling on their calendars.

Backstreet Boys

There are certainly a lot of music fans eager to scream “You are… my fire!” The Backstreet Boys announced this past summer that they were adding seven February shows to their “Into The Millennium” Sphere residency in Las Vegas due to incredible demand, giving people more chances to see the iconic group. Along with two more dates in January 2026 (Jan. 2 and 3), you can still get tickets at SeatGeek for any of their February 2026 shows on the 5, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14 and 15. 

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga’s “The Mayhem Ball Tour” will be off to a roaring start in 2026 after an incredible 56-show run to kick off the tour in 2025. For February 2026, the pop superstar has two shows at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona (Feb. 14 and 15), four shows at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California (Feb. 18, 19, 22 and 23) and ends the month at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas (on Feb. 28, as well as March 1). 

Eagles

The Eagles are wrapping up their record-breaking Sphere residency, as the legendary rock band signed up for 56 shows at the Las Vegas venue as part of their “The Long Goodbye” farewell tour. There are four must-see shows apiece in January (23, 24, 30 and 31) and February (20, 21, 27 and 28) before their final two dates on March 20 and 21. You don’t want to miss out on the chance to see Don Henley, Joe Walsh and the rest of the Eagles rock out live one final time. 

Chris Stapleton

One of the most powerful voices in country music keeps rolling on his “All-American Road Show” tour heading into 2026. Chris Stapleton has a pair of rescheduled shows at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida on January 10 and 11 to begin the new year. Then in February, he heads to Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas (Feb. 4 and 5), Lucas Oil Live at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma (Feb. 20 and 21) and Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut (Feb. 27 and 28).

Zac Brown Band 

The Sphere is quickly becoming one of the top concert destinations in the United States, and we already have a third major concert series at the Las Vegas spectacle on this list to start 2026. The Zac Brown Band has just four U.S. shows currently scheduled for this year, with them coming on January 9, 10, 16 and 17 at the Sphere. The only other scheduled appearance for the country band this year is overseas in London for Garth Brooks’ 2026 BST Hyde Park concert in late June.
