New year, same urge to buy a ticket and yell lyrics with strangers. I’ve rounded up the top concerts scheduled for Tampa Bay in 2026, lined up like an overly ambitious to do list. Sorted by date, these are the shows most likely to make your group chat organized.

PLUS, there’s a quick “worth the drive” section at the bottom, because Florida is enormous and tours sometimes stop short. Orlando, Jacksonville, and Sunrise occasionally snag nights worth facing open highways and the I-4 chaos.
