It has been a magnanimous year for touring. From Taylor Swift and Beyonce‘s massive global takeover tours to the announcement of farewell tours by iconic acts including the Eagles and Aerosmith, 2023 has been a year for the books when it comes to concert tours. But the year isn’t over yet, with several beloved singer/songwriters still hitting the circuit before the holidays. Check out five singer/songwriters not to miss before the year is over.

1. Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan is the pinnacle singer/songwriter and road warrior. At the age of 82, Dylan is still going strong and is closing out 2023 with a robust touring schedule. Dylan will headline theaters all around the U.S., including a three-night stay at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts, followed by several stops all over the East Coast throughout November and December. His last show of the year is on December 3 in Evansville, Indiana.

2. John Fogerty
Like Bob Dylan, John Fogerty is a singer/songwriter and rock star beloved worldwide. He rose to fame as part of Creedence Clearwater Revival in the 1960s before breaking off and forming his own legacy as a solo artist. Fans who come to his shows get the best of both worlds, hearing CCR hits like “Bad Moon Rising” and “Lookin’ Out My Back Door,” and songs from Fogerty’s solo catalog including “Joy of My Life” and “Centerfield.” Fogerty is closing out 2023 with a trio of shows in California and Arizona on November 17-19.

3. Stevie Nicks
Stevie Nicks continues to reign as a rock and roll pioneer. The Fleetwood Mac star has spent much of 2023 on a co-headlining tour with fellow icon Billy Joel. In between, she’s been hosting her own headlining shows at arenas across America. Nicks shows no signs of slowing down going into 2024, as she’s spending the bulk of November and December on the road with 10 shows, including a performance at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Brooklyn, New York, on November 3 (Fleetwood Mac was inducted in 1998). Nicks’ 2023 schedule concludes with two shows in California: one in Sacramento on December 12 and another in San Francisco on December 15.

4. Chris Stapleton
Chris Stapleton‘s live show is where expert songwriting meets rock and roll craftsmanship. Stapleton’s guitar prowess is as impressive as his songwriting, both of which are on full display in his live show. Though Stapleton has a hefty touring schedule slated for 2024, he still has a handful of dates on his All-American Road Show in November 2023 that are make-ups for previously canceled shows. He’s also set to perform at Walmart Presents: Heroes & Headliners with H.E.R. and Imagine Dragons on November 11 in Florida.

5. Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real
Willie Nelson passed his songwriting gene onto his son, Lukas Nelson, who’s built a flourishing career as frontman of Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, ranging from releasing several studio albums to acting as Bradley Cooper’s backing band in the 2018 film A Star is Born (Nelson also co-wrote and co-produced the music for the film). Like his famous father, the younger Nelson also keeps a busy touring schedule, with several shows slated before the year is up. Nelson and crew will take to theaters all over the country, including the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on November 8 and Joe’s Live in Chicago on December 5. The band concludes the trek on December 7 at First Avenue in Minneapolis.
