This year already has a packed slate, with more soon to be announced. Here are some of the dates we know we won't be missing.
Palace
Friday, Feb. 28 South Side Ballroom, 1135 Botham Jean Blvd., No. 101
Since their 2016 debut, Palace have quietly become one of the most consistent forces in music. The London quartet’s sunny brand of rock music will brighten Dallas at South Side Ballroom in February, marking their first show in the city since 2019.
Tyler, The Creator
Monday, March 17American Airlines Center, 2500 Victory Ave.
Last October, Tyler, The Creator released CHROMAKOPIA, the alternative hitmaker’s seventh studio album to date. In March, he takes his world tour of the same name to American Airlines Center in downtown Dallas. He’s bringing Lil Yachty and Paris Texas along for the ride, turning this date at AAC into a celebration of the hip-hop fringe.
Amyl and the Sniffers
Friday, April 4House of Blues, 2200 N. Lamar St.
An Amyl and the Sniffers show is not for the faint of heart. Lead singer Amy Taylor’s brash, provocative style of in-your-face punk has paved the way for a career built on chaos. That chaos enters House of Blues, with a capacity of about 2,500. It's a recipe for mosh pits you’ll tell your kids about.
AC/DC
Monday, April 14AT&T Stadium, 1 AT&T Way, Arlington
It’s been nine long years since Dallas has seen AC/DC, and even longer since lead singer Brian Johnson has completed a tour with the Aussie rock icons. During their last North American tour in 2016, the singer was ordered by a doctor to stop performing or risk total hearing loss. The final 22 dates of the tour were eventually rescheduled with Axl Rose at the helm. Johnson, now 77, is set to take the Highway to Hell once more on the Power Up tour in April.
Kendrick Lamar and SZA
Saturday, April 26AT&T Stadium, 1 AT&T Way, Arlington
You’d be hard-pressed to find a joint tour as massive as this. A heap of 2020s pop culture has been owned by both Kendrick Lamar and SZA, and with the Grand National tour, it looks like that dominance will continue. This isn’t the first time the two have hit the road together. The Championship in 2018 tour featured Lamar, SZA and a myriad of Top Dawg Entertainment stars. But in 2025, with both artists reaching their pop culture zenith, this tour will be one for the history books.
Post Malone made his country turn earlier this year.

Post Malone
Friday, May 9AT&T Stadium, 1 AT&T Way, Arlington
DFW’s own Post Malone is making a stop at AT&T Stadium this May, but it’s looking to be a much different show than we’re used to. The singer released a debut country album, F-1 Trillion, last August, then doubled down on the genre pivot by inviting country rapper Jelly Roll and psych-folk weirdo Sierra Ferrell to tour along with him.
American Football
Friday, May 30Granada Theater, 3524 Greenville Ave.
After three anticipated shows hosted where the Dallas Cowboys play, enjoy a relatively intimate set from the tongue-in-cheek named American Football. The midwest emo band, experiencing a Gen Z reclamation, will arrive in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their debut LP. There are only 1,000 spots available at the Granada Theater on Lower Greenville, so secure yours while you can.
Shakira
Wednesday, June 11Globe Life Field, 734 Stadium Drive, Arlington
In October, the Colombian pop superstar said on Instagram that her 2025 tour dates were met with such an overwhelming demand that she was forced to postpone them and get new venues. In something of a reverse J-Lo move (who canceled dates due to low ticket sales), Shakira upgraded her date from American Airlines Center to Globe Life Field. Those hips have never lied, but they’ve taken a massive gamble by adding 20,000 seats.
Peach Pit
Tuesday, June 17South Side Ballroom, 1135 Botham Jean Blvd.
Dallas missed out on Peach Pit during their From 2 To 3 tour in 2022 after the band tested positive for COVID prior to their date at House of Blues. The band announced an additional run of shows in 2022 and 2023, neither of which included Dallas. Fans in DFW were immeasurably disappointed at the news; some even made hyperbolic statements like, “They must hate us,” and by some, we mean a newly hired Observer staff writer who is including them in this list as a potential strike 3. Peach Pit, we’ll see you in June, hopefully.
Dua Lipa
Tuesday, Sept. 30, and Wednesday, Oct. 1American Airlines Center, 2500 Victory Ave.
Perhaps the most popular and least celebrated pop star of the 21st century, Dua Lipa hits Dallas for a two-night run at American Airlines Center. The Albanian disco revivalist remains one of the most streamed artists year but has yet to inspire a devoted following like her contemporaries. Still, she’s built an indisputable catalog after only three full-length studio albums. History should look much kinder upon Lipa’s legacy than it does in the moment. Get a ticket to her show to say you were ahead of the curve.
