Concert season is alive and well for 2024, with a bounty of tours in the works for spring and early summer.

Eight major tours were announced on November 28, featuring a variety of well-known acts, from iconic rappers to seminal rock guitarists. The majority will perform not only in Dallas but also in Houston and Austin, with dates listed below.

If it seems a little early to start thinking about what concerts you'll be seeing in the spring, keep in mind that tickets for nearly all of these shows will go on sale December 1. They're hoping to catch you before you spend all your hard-earned money on Christmas gifts. (Or maybe some of these shows will be Christmas gifts?)

Tickets for each concert can be found at Ticketmaster.com.
