List
14 Must-See Tours in Spring 2015
Marilyn Manson returns, Lana Del Rey hypes her 'Honeymoon' album, ILoveMakonnen gets clubs going up on Tuesdays—read about all the tours you've gotta see this spring

What: The Hell Not Hallelujah Tour
When: March 25 – May 13
Why It's a Must See: Manson's already sharpened the tour with a run in January and February. He's coming off The Pale Emperor, his most celebrated album in years. And the goth rock icon never plays a show unless he's got a sublime theatrical experience prepared, so the bang for the buck is guaranteed. —Zach Dionne

What: DCFC's 2015 tour supporting Kintsugi
When: April 10 – October 5
Why It's a Must See: Truth is, my anticipation for this tour isn't all bunnies and roses. The fact that Chris Walla is officially out of Death Cab still gives me pause, but I go back and forth on whether or not I believe this actually means anything negative in regards to their live show. On the one hand, this is the Chris & Ben show. Half of the recipe's gone missing. On the other hand, Chris's real value was in his production and writing abilities, and the guys are notorious for playing a seamless string of perfectly prioritized gems from various periods in their catalogue. At best, we're in for a great nostalgia-tinged rock show; at worst we're left to remember better times in the Death Cab camp. —Andrew Poitras

What: A two-and-a-half-week leg celebrating the release of Mr. Wonderful
When: March 24 – April 11
Why It's a Must See: These aren't quite the official dates to support the launch of his major label debut, Mr. Wonderful, but they are the first shows scheduled post-release. We anticipate more of the same perfect antics that popularized Action Bronson, including but not limited to free weed, launching fans from the stage, and multitasking while excreting bodily fluids. —Andrew Poitras

What: The Future Hearts Tour
When: April 2 – May 24
Why It's a Must See: Pop-punk giants All Time Low have promised a new record (following two incredible singles, "Something's Gotta Give" and "Kids in the Dark") and will hit the road to promote it. American dates are mostly stadiums—a huge, progressive step in the band's career—with openers State Champs. —Maria Sherman

What: The Aussie singer's 2015 spring tour
When: April 4 – April 26
Why It's a Must See: Once known as a poor man's Justin Bieber now proving himself to be a superstar, Australian teen dream Cody Simpson is hitting our shores soon. If those blond locks aren't enough to persuade you, take a moment to check out "Home to Mama." You'll swoon straight to the ticket counter. —Maria Sherman

What: The second North American leg of Ed's x Tour
When: May 6 – July 3
Why It's a Must See: The British troubadour seemingly did the impossible in taking his tender singer-songwriter style to a massive arena level during the first leg of his x Tour, owning Chicago's Allstate Arena and Los Angeles' Staples Center. Come this May, Ed Sheeran brings his show to the rest of the country, hitting more southern and eastern states. His x album is a true gem, and even if you're not into the quieter songs, there are still bangers like "Sing" and "Don't" that are sure to get everyone in the arena grooving. —Jeff Benjamin

What: The Loudest of the Loud Tour
When: March 26 – May 16
Why It's a Must See: 25-year-old Atlantan ILoveMakonnen is the reason the club is going up on a Tuesday. Don't trust us? Just ask his number one cheerleader, Drake. The single-born superstar and up-and-comer is know for bringing a dance floor vibe to major music venues, meaning everyone that's into shaking it is legally not allowed to miss this one. —Maria Sherman

What: The Froot Show
When: March 13 – June 7
Why It's a Must See: Marina's garnered a cultish following in no small part to her theatrical stage shows. The Welsh act puts a heavy emphasis on live instrumentation, top-notch costumes, quirky visuals and tender moments of audience interaction. The singer's new Froot album is sounding like her best yet, and American fans will be some of the first to hear the fresh tracks live. The singer-songwriter's been noticeably absent from promotional live performances, opting instead to release her own acoustic performances on YouTube (watch her nail every trill on "I'm a Ruin" live and every low note on "Happy"), making us just that much more excited. —Jeff Benjamin

What: The Innocence + Experience Tour
When: May 14 – July 31
Why It's a Must See: U2's decision to drop Songs of Innocence, their 13th studio album, into everyone's iTunes last September stirred up every hater in existence. So what better place for the true U2 fans to finally celebrate the record—and to re-celebrate the band's storied career and stellar body of work—than in a giant arena, together, as a hater-free family? —Zach Dionne

What: HARD Fest's Go HARD Tour
When: March 25 – August 2
Why It's a Must See: The Go HARD touring festival is the Warped of rap and EDM. The all-star lineup—Bro Safari, A$AP Ferg, Dillon Francis, Rae Sremmund, tons more—is curated for no other reason than to facilitate unadulterated head banging, shmoney-dancing, and ignoring all of your problems. What's not to be excited about? —Andrew Poitras

What: The Endless Summer Tour
When: May 7 – June 16
Why It's a Must See: In support of the very sexy, very sad Ultraviolence, LDR is doing a run in the biggest stateside venues of her career. She'll play a slew of amphitheatres and large rooms around North America, including Los Angeles' famous Hollywood Bowl and Montreal's Bell Centre. Courtney Love, a rock chick as polarizing and badass as Lana herself, is joining for half the dates. —Zach Dionne

What: The Kindred Tour
When: March 14 – May 30
Why It's a Must See: Indie darlings turned electro-pop superstars Passion Pit are back on our radar in 2015, and we couldn't be more stoked. Their collaboration with French up-and-comer Madeon, "Pay No Mind" was one of the best dance songs we heard last month, if not of the whole year so far. Their live show is known for its club energy, so grab your best dress and get out there! —Maria Sherman

What: "Hideaway" singer Kieza's Sound of a Woman Tour feat. Australian newcomer Betty Who
When: March 30 – May 7
Why It's a Must See: As badass collaborations like "Fancy," "Bang Bang" and "Can't Remember to Forget You" proved, the more female power the better. After buzzy years for both Kieza ("Hideway" hit No. 1 in the U.K. and was a hit on the Billboard Hot 100) and Betty Who (who released her debut album Take Me When You Go after the late 2013 viral success of "Somebody Loves You"), the pair are hitting the road together. Make sure you're up on your cardio—you're going to do a lot of moving at this show. —Jeff Benjamin
