If you're a live music fan, then you've probably noticed that tickets for many concerts and festivals are selling like hotcakes. And the announcements of certain artists' shows are really unleashing the crowds, to the point where they manage to fill venues in just a few hours.
This is notably the case for K-pop group BLACKPINK, who very quickly sold out all tickets for their two dates at theAccor Arena at the end of 2022. Another example is the singer Aya Nakamura , who achieved an incredible treble at the same venue in the capital's 12th arrondissement. Then there was The Weeknd. The Canadian artist had no trouble filling his two dates at the Stade de France. Céline Dion and the AmericanImagine Dragons were equally euphoric at the Paris La Défense Arena. As for festivals, we're thinking of course of Hellfest, which breaks new records every year.
As you can see, there's no shortage of examples, each time leaving many fans with nothing but tears in their eyes. After all, it's not always easy to keep track of the day and time a concert goes on sale or a pre-sale opens. This is why more and more ticketing networks are organizing pre-sales, i.e. selling tickets before the concert goes on general sale. Some artists even offer exclusive pre-sales for members of their fan clubs, like Metallica, Madonna, Rammstein and certain K-pop groups. In short, it's not easy to find your way around and reserve tickets before they run out.
But we've decided to help you out by listing the concerts you need to book right now, with ticket openings, pre-sales and on-sale dates you won't want to miss, so you can get your tickets among the first!
