The Jingle Ball Tour, the annual holiday pop-music concert, is back in 2017, and Dallas will be the launch point, with a lineup that includes The Chainsmokers, Kesha, and Camilla Cabelo.

Two of the other cities on the tour feature Taylor Swift as a headliner. But when you have Kesha, who needs Taylor?

Officially called the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2017 Tour Presented by Capital One, the tour will stop in only a dozen cities. Even without Taylor, Dallas can feel good. It's the first stop on an itinerary that includes big cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Atlanta, Tampa, and Miami.

Tickets go on sale on October 16 at 12 pm, and will be available at iHeartRadio.com/JingleBall. Capital One cardholder get early access to tickets from October 11-14, or while supplies last. They're so optimistic! Those special early tickets will be available at iHeartRadio.com/CapitalOne.

At each city, one Capital One cardholder will also get an exclusive opportunity to announce an artist on stage.

Joe Satriani and Steve Vai will play at the Music Hall at Fair Park on April 17, 2026.

Legendary guitarists Joe Satriani and Steve Vai will bring their debut SATCHVAI Band tour to the United States for the first time, including a stop at the Music Hall at Fair Park in Dallas on April 17, 2026.

The “Surfing with the Hydra” 2026 tour will travel to 37 cities over the course of two months, starting in Seattle, Washington on April 1.

In addition to Dallas, Satriani and Vai will also play in Houston on April 16 and Austin on April 18. They'll be joined by special guest Animals As Leaders on all dates.

The two guitar icons, who have a nearly 50-year friendship and musical partnership, formally joined forces as the SATCHVAI Band in March 2024. They subsequently put out two songs: "The Sea of Emotion, Pt. 1" and "I Wanna Play My Guitar."

They're getting set to release another song, “Dancing,” which will come out on March 2, 2026.

Both musicians have solo careers that date back to the 1980s. Satriani has released 18 albums in his career, most recently The Elephants of Mars in 2022. Vai has released 11 albums in his career, most recently Vai/Gash in 2023.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale starting with the artist presale on Wednesday, December 10 at 10 am local time, which fans can access with the password SATCHVAI2026.
