Stadium tours for major artists are getting more popular every year, and in 2026, some big names are heading to both Soldier Field and Busch Stadium.

I’ve been to a few stadium shows, Billy Joel, Taylor Swift, Aerosmith, and Stevie Nicks, and every single one was amazing. It’s just a different experience being outside in a venue that’s usually used for football or baseball, surrounded by thousands of fans who all love the same artist. There is just something about hearing live music in a stadium compared to an indoor facility. It's an experience.

This summer, there are several big concerts coming to both Soldier Field and Busch Stadium. While there aren’t many country concerts at these venues, it’s still a great reason to consider grabbing tickets.

Soldier Field

So far, five concerts are scheduled for 2026 at Soldier Field. The weekend of May 16 and 17 will be taken over by Bruno Mars (both shows are already sold out). Ed Sheeran brings his LOOP Tour on June 27, followed by Foo Fighters on August 8 (Take Cover Tour). Things wrap up with one of the biggest bands in the world, BTS, on August 27 and 28.

Busch Stadium

While there are fewer concerts at Busch Stadium, there are still some major names coming to the iconic ballpark. The St. Louis Cardinals will host a few postgame concerts this summer, with Jordan Davis kicking things off on Friday, May 29, during the Cubs/Cardinals series.

If you’re not a fan of outdoor venues, there are still plenty of options. Zach Bryan brings “The Quittin Time Tour” to Enterprise Center in St. Louis on May 2 and 3, followed by Megan Moroney on her “Cloud 9 Tour” on June 13, and Zac Brown Band on September 11.

There are so many great options to catch incredible live music this summer.
