2. George Strait

With a career spanning more than 30 years and full of number-one singles, George Strait is without a doubt the king of country music. The country music star received the honor of being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006. In 2008, he won one Grammy Award for Troubadour, and so far, he has more than 30 platinum albums. 

The country star has a ton of top hits, but some of George Strait’s best hits include “The Chair,” “All My Ex’s Live In Texas,” and “I Just Want to Dance With You.” Don’t miss seeing this country legend take to Lumen Field in 2023 in Seattle. 

3. Janet Jackson 

Janet Jackson is as much of a household name as Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and other pop legends. After getting her start in the 1980s, Janet Jackson released a dozen top albums with some of the best songs to hit the airwaves in the 1990s and early 2000s. While famous for her appearance in Poetic Justice and other movies, the artist mainly made a name for herself in singing and dancing.

Some of the artist’s best and most notable songs include “Rhythm Nation” and “All For You.” Don’t miss seeing this global pop sensation when she comes to Seattle this year at the Climate Pledge Arena.

4. The Cure

US and Canadian Cureheads get excited because The Cure plans to do an extensive tour this year, and Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena is on their list. If you’re not a Seattle Curehead, no worries; they’re heading to a ton of other cities. 

The Cure is one of the most popular rock bands hailing from the 1980s with a strong atmospheric sound. Together with their goth look, The Cure is easily one of the most iconic bands coming out of the UK. Some of their most notable songs include “Boys Don’t Cry,” “In Between Days,” and “The Walk.” 

5. Blink 182 

Another favorite rock band hits the stage, coming right to Seattle’s very own Climate Pledge Arena is Blink 182. Their 2023 North American tour marks the first reunion in 10 long years of Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker, and Mark Hoppus. Expect to see Turnstile and the Destroy Boys heading to this stage as well. 

Best and most notable songs by the band include “I Miss You,” “All the Small Things,” and “What’s My Name Again?” 

6. Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift’s tour is set to take the pop sensation to Seattle this year at Lumen Field. You definitely don’t want to miss out on seeing her live, whether you’re a casual fan wanting to treat yourself to a great night out or a devoted Swifty. 

If you’re not in Seattle, you can catch up with Taylor Swift at another one of her many stops. 

Because the artist is a global pop sensation, tickets are selling very quickly. Every stop has been slightly different in terms of set lists. You’ll hear from her recent album Midnights as well as her most iconic pieces from her incredible career. 

7. Bryson Tiller 

Born in Louisville, Kentucky, singer, songwriter, and rapper Bryson Tiller is famous for only putting out the work that he’s the most proud of. When he releases an album, it’s certainly newsworthy since he’s one of those great artists that don’t produce often. His career started in 2011 with his mixtape Killer Instinct Vol. 1. He followed this with charting singles and the albums Trapsoul (2015) and True to Self (2017). The singer contemplated retirement before releasing Anniversary in 2020. 

Bryson Tiller got his start as a trap soul artist with the release of his first mixtape, Killer Instinct Vol. 1. The rapper then caught the eyes of Drake and Timbaland, who helped bolster his career. Tiller is famously media-shy, so you’ll absolutely want to catch his concerts in person at Seattle’s Showbox SoDo.

8. Louis Tomlinson

Best known for his time in the popular boy band One Direction, Louis Tomlinson spent a lot of time in the entertainment industry before meeting the people that would eventually make up the band. Louis Tomlinson released his first solo single, “Just Hold On,” in 2016. Several months later, the singer released “Back to You” with Bebe Rexha. 

See him perform at the WAMU Theater in Seattle for a night you won’t be able to stop talking about.

9. Beyoncé 

Another artist that doesn’t really need an introduction, Beyoncé, hits Seattle this fall. You can find the global music sensation performing at Seattle’s Lumen Field. Expect to hear all her top hits, especially the top songs from Renaissance.
