The 50 Best Concerts of 2022

Out: couch potatoes. In: Crowd Surfer… even if we define that as the music world’s first fully open-for-business year-round concert breaking wave of line-up fans. Our writers have been to Sophie Stadium, Forum and Troubadour on the West Coast, or Madison Square Garden, Kings Theater and Town Hall to the east… or even Las Vegas, Nashville, Tulsa, Philly, Paris and Medellin. Here, in no particular order, are 50 awesome ones that remind us how streaming is ultimately no match for living in the home. –Chris Willman
