Top artists have been producing new music as the years go on. Now that COVID slowly gets better and restrictions are lifted, the question is, when will we be able to see our favorite artists live? Here are some artists that are coming to the Tampa Bay area in 2023 that you should look out for.

First up, coming to the Raymond James Stadium is Taylor Swift from Thursday, April 13 through Saturday, April 15. Fans had access to tickets for the “Taylor Swift Era Tour” in mid-November, which sold out in split seconds, as it is one of the most anticipated concerts of the year. Due to Ticketmaster malfunctioning, many were not able to purchase tickets, but if you are one of the lucky ones, congratulations and have the best time! If you still would like to buy a ticket, ticket prices now vary from $300 all the way up to $1,000. For me, that is a lot of money but she is definitely worth it!

If you are a country music-loving fan, then here is what is upcoming for you.

Popular country artist Morgan Wallen is performing at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre on Saturday, May 6 at 7 p.m. Performing his “One Night at a Time World Tour,”  Wallen’s tickets are ranging from $400 to $500 for the lawn and almost $1,000 for the pit seats in front of the main stage. The lawn is normally really affordable; it just depends on who is performing and when.

Also, over the summer, Luke Combs will come to the Raymond James Stadium on Saturday, July 8 to perform his “The Middle of Somewhere Tour.” His tickets start at $155 for the 300-level seats and go to almost $1000 for the pit. Along with Combs performing on his tour, he will be bringing guest performers like Flatland Cavalry, Brent Cobb, Riley Green and Lainey Wilson.

The Zac Brown Band will be coming in the fall to the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre as well, on Friday, Nov. 3 to Saturday, Nov. 4. The concert starts at 6:30 p.m. and his tickets range from a low of $43 on the lawn to only a couple of hundred dollars to sit midway down towards the stage.

Adding on, the “Perfect” duo, Ed Sheeran and Beyonce, are coming to Raymond James Stadium over the summer. Sheeran will be on his “+–=÷x Tour” and stopping in Tampa on Saturday, May 20 and just three months after, on Wednesday, Aug. 16 and Thursday, Aug. 17 Beyonce will be performing her “Renaissance World Tour.”

Some popular pop-punk artists are coming over the summer to the Tampa Bay area as well. These artists include but are not limited to Blink 182 and Fall Out Boys. Blink 182 will be performing at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, July 10 at Amalie Arena, while the Fall Out Boys will be performing at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 25 at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre. I feel as if these artists are quite underrated, but people like who they like.

These are just some of the many artists performing around the Tampa Bay area this year. I feel excited for Morgan Wallen and Taylor swift even though I can’t attend. So, if you see one of your favorites, buy your tickets sooner rather than later because they will sell out fast.
