With the new year comes new music, new artists, and new concerts. These concerts can serve as life-altering moments filled with flashing lights, screaming fans, and wonderful new memories. They can also, however, be hard to locate. Here is everything you need to know about where and when to find upcoming concerts around the Philadelphia area.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj is currently touring her new album, Pink Friday 2, which sold 25,000 copies on vinyl in its first week. At this rapper’s upbeat concerts fans can expect bright lights and flashy costumes. As a performer, Nicki Minaj loves connecting with her audiences, talking to them as she would a friend and bringing people up on stage. In March, Minaj will perform for three days in a row. On March 28th, she will be in the Prudential Center in Newark. Her concert is only in Philadelphia for one day, March 29th, at the Wells Fargo Center. Finally, her third performance will be at Madison Square Garden in New York City on March 30th. More information about her tour can be found at this link on Ticketmaster.
Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny will be making his way to the City of Brotherly Love for one night only. You can get tickets for his performance held at the Wells Fargo Center on April 19th here. He will also be in Brooklyn April 11th-13th, tickets for which can be found on Ticketmaster. He is currently on his Most Wanted Tour, promoting his fifth studio album: Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. This new album largely reflects his trap music roots, different from his pop-reggaeton music. Bad Bunny concerts attract high-energy crowds, so be ready to dance!
