All the artists featured on a top 10 most anticipated concerts list, including Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, and Metallica, have upcoming shows in California.
Coldplay, Morgan Wallen and AC/DC are also on the list and plan California shows.
The methodology used in creating the list was monthly average search volume data from Google Keyword Planner based on searches over the past 12 months, according to seatpick.com. Search terms included variations such as upcoming (artist) tour, 2025 (artist) concert, and (artist) tickets 2025.
The top 500 highest-rated artists with tours in 2025, according to concertful.com, were also analyzed, according to seatpick.com. The combined search volume was calculated to rank each artist from the highest number of average monthly searches to the lowest.
“From emerging artists like Sabrina Carpenter to legendary bands like Metallica and AC/DC, there is a high demand for live performances for all genres,” said Gilad Zilberman, CEO of SeatPick, in a statement.
