Phoenix’s biggest concerts of 2026

Phoenix concertgoers were spoiled in 2025, experiencing stadium-sized spectacles, intimate club shows and everything in between. And the Valley’s appetite for live music clearly isn’t slowing down as we hit 2026.

So what’s next? The 2026 concert calendar is shaping up to be even bigger. The year brings a stacked lineup loaded with arena takeovers, stadium blockbusters and tours fans have waited years to see.

The lineup includes Lady Gaga’s two-night Mayhem Ball run, Ed Sheeran filling State Farm Stadium, My Chemical Romance turning Chase Field into an emo time capsule and Zach Bryan drawing one of the year’s biggest country crowds. The Killers, Nine Inch Nails, Florence + The Machine, David Byrne and TWICE are also on deck.

Here are the biggest concerts coming to Phoenix in 2026.

Duran Duran
Jan. 5
Mortgage Matchup Center
Legacy acts can be hit or miss live. Duran Duran isn’t one of them. The New Wave icons still hit hard, filling the arena with sleek synths, sharp hooks and real momentum. “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Rio” “Girls On Film” and “A View to a Kill” power a polished, crowd-pleasing blowout built for big venues.

TWICE
Jan. 28
Mortgage Matchup Center
The K-pop boom keeps bringing superstar acts to Phoenix, with TWICE next in line. The South Korean girl group hits downtown on their This Is For World Tour in early 2026. Mortgage Matchup Center fills with precision choreography, candy-bright visuals and nonstop energy, as slick production drives a hit-packed spectacle.

The Killers
Jan. 31
Waste Management Phoenix Open
Before they headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show, alt-rockers The Killers hit the Valley for another sports-adjacent gig. The Waste Management Phoenix Open’s Concert in the Coliseum turns the event’s infamous 16th hole into a massive open-air arena. Fans get airtight anthems, shout-along hooks and “Hot Fuss” classics rattling the grandstands during the 21-and-over show.

Lady Gaga
Feb. 14 and 15
Desert Diamond Arena
Mother Monster meets Desert Diamond Arena. Landing on Valentine’s weekend, the shows double as an arena-sized love letter to Phoenix concertgoers. Lady Gaga brings her Mayhem Ball Tour to Arizona for two nights and doesn’t do subtle. Towering visuals. Razor-sharp choreography. Pop anthems at full blast. Like the album it supports, the tour leans darker and louder with Gaga pushing spectacle into shadowy new territory.

bbno$
Feb. 21
Arizona Financial Theatre
bbno$ drops into Phoenix with a show that moves fast and hits hard. The viral rapper blends absurdist humor, sticky hooks and rapid-fire bars into a set that feels part hip-hop concert, part comedy meltdown. Nothing stays too serious for too long.

Mortgage Matchup Center
Cardi B storms into downtown Phoenix on her Little Miss Drama Tour with trademark swagger. The rap superstar turns the arena into her playground, firing off chart-topping hits, viral bars and full-command energy. Big-budget production, louder-than-life attitude and a seat-shaking set leave no doubt who runs the room.

Nine Inch Nails
March 6
Desert Diamond Arena
Anyone who missed Nine Inch Nails’ jaw-rattling downtown Phoenix stop in September gets another shot when the band returns to the Valley. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross bring the Peel It Back Tour back in 2026. The setlist is a little different, but the show stays just as brutal and immersive, powered by punishing bass, blinding visuals and a constant sense of industrial unease.

Conan Gray
March 13
Desert Diamond Arena
Conan Gray turns oversharing into a sport when his Wishbone Tour hits metro Phoenix.

Ricardo Arjona
March 20
Desert Diamond Arena
Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona turns arenas on his latest tour. His songs are typically laced with heartfelt romantic regrets and conversational charm. Big hits mix with quieter moments, all carried by Arjona’s gorgeous voice. Expect the same when the singer comes to Glendale’s Desert Diamond Arena in March.

Puscifer
March 21
Arizona Financial Theatre
Puscifer lands invade downtown Phoenix on its Isn’t Normal Tour, an apt name for their kinky sound that bends rock into something stranger and smarter. Maynard James Keenan, Arizona resident and professional mischief-maker, turns the stage into his personal sonic laboratory. It’s weird, precise and well worth the ticket price.

LANY
March 26
Arizona Financial Theatre
LANY slips into downtown Phoenix with a show on their Soft World Tour that’s about atmosphere as much as it is about melodies. The band trades big drama for subtle tension, stacking sleek pop lines and emotional restraint into a set that unfolds slowly.

Dethklok and Amon Amarth
April 15
Arizona Financial Theatre
Metalheads of Phoenix, prepare yourselves. Dethklok takes Phoenix with the same thunder they brought on Adult Swim’s “Metalocalypse,” blending brutal shredding with animated mayhem. Amon Amarth raises the stakes with cacophonous Viking metal and battle-ready riffs. The night is loud, ridiculous and gloriously over the top, built for headbanging and zero apologies.

David Byrne
April 21
Arizona Financial Theatre
Same as it ever was, only it isn’t. David Byrne returns to Phoenix on the Who is the Sky Tour in support of his first new album since 2018. The unrivaled art-pop icon brings his nervous rhythms, brainy joy and restless movement to a show that feels playful yet pointed. He’s one of those artists you absolutely need to see live at least once.

Hatsune Miku
April 28
Desert Diamond Arena
Hatsune Miku’s stop at Glendale’s Desert Diamond Arena stands apart from Phoenix’s biggest concerts of 2026. Because, well, she isn’t human. Miku is a Vocaloid, a virtual pop star projected onstage with a live band. The anime-inspired singer and her music unleash hyperpop energy, neon visuals and crowd-pleasing geekiness. For anime fans, it’s as much a nerdy hangout as a concert.

Florence + The Machine
May 9
Desert Diamond Arena
Florence Welch treats the stage like sacred ground. Her namesake rock band rolls into Phoenix in May with a sweeping live set that will transform Glendale’s Desert Diamond Arena into a sonic tabernacle.

Rod Stewart
June 8
Mortgage Matchup Center
Rod Stewart swings through downtown Phoenix on his One Last Time Tour, a victory lap that’s essentially his farewell to the road. The rock lifer still has his usual swagger, rasp and charm, though. Decades-deep hits will carry the night, backed by a slick band and Stewart’s refusal to go away quietly.

Ed Sheeran
June 13
State Farm Stadium
If anyone can pack a 63,400-seat venue, it’s Ed Sheeran. He brings his LOOP Tour to Glendale’s State Farm Stadium in support of his 2025 album “Play.” The setup is simple: One performer.

Arizona Financial Theatre
Khalid slides into Phoenix on his It’s Always Summer Somewhere Tour, which boasts a low-key, high-feel show trading spectacle for connection.

5 Seconds of Summer
June 26
Desert Diamond Arena
Glendale’s Desert Diamond Arena becomes a palace of pop when 5 Seconds of Summer brings controlled chaos to metro Phoenix. As its millions of fans can attest, the multiplatinum band balances its pop-punk roots with arena polish, pushing big hooks, loud emotions and infectious energy.

Evanescence
July 15
Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre
Evanescence returns to Phoenix in 2026 on its first tour in four years, daring everyone to admit the truth. You know the songs. You sang them in 2003. You still kind of love them. Best known for “Bring Me to Life” and “My Immortal,” the band delivers melodrama, muscle and peak early-2000s angst. Spiritbox and Nova Twins open.

Meghan Trainor
Aug. 13
Mortgage Matchup Center
Meghan Trainor’s The Get In Girl Tour is still all about confidence first. She brings multiplatinum hits, retro bounce and personality-heavy pop to downtown Phoenix. Big smiles. Louder singalongs. Plenty of vibes. It’s a feel-good night that puts self-assurance front and center, no matter the era or outfit.

Zach Bryan
Sept. 5
State Farm Stadium
Glendale’s State Farm Stadium might be the Valley’s biggest concert venue by a country mile, but Zach Bryan’s latest tour turns it into a campfire singalong. Roaring choruses. Rollicking tunes. Tens of thousands of fellow fans shouting every line. It’s country without polish in a setting as big as it gets. MJ Lenderman and Fey Fili open the evening.

My Chemical Romance
Sept. 6
Chase Field
My Chemical Romance marches into Chase Field on its Black Parade 2026 Tour, leading a full-scale emo revival. Frontman Gerard Way pulls zero emotional punches. Old wounds reopen. Choruses hit harder. Guyliner spreads by the thousands as fans scream every word in unison. If you even think you want in, buy tickets now before resellers smell blood.

Jack Johnson
Oct. 6
Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre
Jack Johnson rides a wave into Phoenix’s Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre on his SURFILMUSIC tour, which features sun-soaked songs and a deeper purpose. His show offers a mix of surf-film visuals and sustainability messages along with his tunes. It’s mellow and vibey, thoughtful without being preachy, and built around community as much as melody.

Doja Cat
Oct. 29
Mortgage Matchup Center
Doja Cat doesn’t just play Phoenix. She takes it over. The Tour Ma Vie hits Mortgage Matchup Center with her brand of pop chaos, rap bite and total unpredictability. The night moves fast, loud and weird, exactly how Doja likes it.
