2019 is going to be a treat for music fans, as lots of our favourite artists are going back on tour. The hottest gigs in the UK and Ireland are notching up the nostalgia levels [1], with so many '90s bands reuniting and hitting the road again. Westlife, the Spice Girls (minus Victoria, naturally [2]), Take That, and the Backstreet Boys will be inspiring us to dig out old posters from our parents' loft.
Classic rockers are making their way across the pond to our shores for big shows, too, from Bon Jovi, the Eagles, and Fleetwood Mac to the farewell tours of Kiss and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Even Peter Andre and Olly Murs are getting involved in the "best of" zeitgeist, and other big British, Canadian, and American stars will be entertaining fans across the country as well.
