date night concert

Stay in tune as a couple with a date night concert. The best chart-topping artists are rocking concert venues nationwide this summer and beyond! So, score stadium seats to score date night points with your favorite music fan.

Billy Joel

The “Piano Man” has struck a chord with music lovers since the 1970s and still today. Hence, he remains the third best-selling solo artist in the country. Billy Joel maintains a steady touring schedule throughout 2017, including multiple stops at Madison Square Garden – as if you need an excuse for a couples getaway to NYC. Tickets are a bit steep since this icon is a bucket list concert. billyjoel.com

Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars kicks off his massive 85-date tour, 24K Magic, in July. He recently told Rolling Stone, “Sometimes I feel like I’m in the music business 10 years too late.” Um, we disagree Mr. Mars because you’re an out-of-this-world performer who arrived just at the right time (for date night). brunomars.com

The Chainsmokers

Thanks to help from Coldplay, the Chainsmokers fueled one of the hottest songs of the year with “Something Just Like This.” And their lighting up the stage at both standard concert venues and at tons of summer music festivals. thechainsmokers.com

Ed Sheeran

Maybe a red hot date night concert with the coolest red-headed musician is just what you need. You won’t be disappointed with Ed Sheeran’s tour in support of Divide, his third album blending upbeat tunes and romantic melodies. edsheeran.com

Enrique Iglesias & Pitbull

Pitbull, aka Mr. Worldwide, always brings the party! And with his latest album titled Sex and Love, Enrique Iglesias promises to bring the same with some sizzle. enriqueiglesias.com

Florida Georgia Line

This duo’s 2017 Smooth Stadium Tour is hitting the best venues, including Fenway Park in Boston, Target Field in Minneapolis and Wrigley Field in Chicago. Plus, Florida Georgia Line is adding to their country flair with collaborations with the Backstreet Boys, Nelly and Chris Lane. smoothstadiumtour.com
