There may be no season better for concerts than spring.

As the sun in the Northern Hemisphere stays out later, the hours for sunsets extend. And with more sunsets comes even better conditions for concert season. Across Los Angeles, open-air and indoor concert venues are preparing to welcome artists from genres including country, pop and alternative for career-spanning setlists.

Read on to get an idea from the Daily Bruin of the shows this spring that will keep Angelenos vibing to the music late into the night.

“COWBOY CARTER TOUR” (Beyoncé)

Looka there, Beyoncé is saddling up for her second act.

The “COWBOY CARTER TOUR” will kick off by performing five nights at SoFi Stadium between April 28 and May 9. The tour follows Beyoncé’s most recent studio album “COWBOY CARTER,” which was released in March 2024. Although Beyoncé said in an Instagram post last year, “This ain’t a Country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album,” the chart-topping, Grammy-winning album features southern influences intersected with pop-inspired rhythms across 27 tracks. Fans can purchase tickets for as low as around $42.

“COWBOY CARTER” transcends generations as artistic tributes emerge through song covers such as “BLACKBIIRD,” which was originally written by Paul McCartney, in an effort to emphasize the inequities Black women face in the United States. Beyoncé’s adaptation involves only Black women artists, including Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts. Other covers featured on the album include “JOLENE,” originally by Dolly Parton, which appears alongside fan favorites such as “16 CARRIAGES,” “TEXAS HOLD ’EM” and “YA YA.” With Beyoncé’s past concert runs like “The Formation World Tour” and the “RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR” breaking box office records and collecting massive acclaim, the “COWBOY CARTER TOUR” seems destined for the same glory.

For audiences looking to throw on their “LEVII’S JEANS” and cowboy hats, Beyoncé’s tour promises to transport fans into the world of “COWBOY CARTER.”

“Tension Tour” (Kylie Minogue)

Pop music can express feelings of tension, and this spring Kylie Minogue is bringing the “Tension Tour” to LA.

The pop icon’s ongoing concert series kicked off in Perth, Australia, in February and will run through August, including a stop to light up LA’s Crypto.com Arena on May 2. Tickets are available for around $74 to see performances from the Australian superstar and opener Rita Ora. Although Minogue headlined a six-month Las Vegas residency in 2023-2024, the “Tension Tour” marks her first North American concert trek since 2011’s “Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour.”

While the setlist for the “Tension Tour” pulls generously from Minogue’s three most recent LPs – 2020’s “Disco,” 2023’s “Tension” and 2024’s “Tension II” – it also features some of her biggest stateside hits, such as “Can’t Get You out of My Head” and “Love at First Sight” off her album “Fever.” As a showcase of catchy bangers from across the past five decades, the “Tension Tour” splits more than 30 of the 56-year-old musician’s songs into five acts.

As with her most popular album, the “Tension Tour” is allowing American fans of the disco diva to feel Minogue “Fever.”

“Forever Is A Feeling Tour” (Lucy Dacus)

Lucy Dacus is ready to take audiences on a rollercoaster of emotions.

Dacus will perform at LA’s Greek Theatre for the first time May 14 and 15. The “Forever Is A Feeling Tour” is an accompaniment to Dacus’ latest album of the same name. Released March 28, the project was developed while Dacus toured with Grammy-winning band boygenius two years ago. Dacus started promoting the album in February with small music sessions performing the body of work, including at a date in LA on Feb. 24. In recent interviews, the singer expressed excitement about the shows as she looks forward to unique elements, such as performing in new venues and incorporating a violin in the band. With special guests Katie Gavin from MUNA & jasmine.4.t, the tour is donating $1 per ticket to LA wildfire relief organization PLUS1 LA Fires Fund.

The Virginia-born singer said in an interview with Variety that this album, unlike her past projects, showcases her emotions in real time relating to different experiences, allowing her to process these situations now rather than retrospectively. Describing it as both a breakup and a romance album, Dacus said the collection of songs reflects a transition period in her life. Wearing her “heart on her sleeve,” the universality of these emotions is sure to attract a wide demographic to the shows, as it has in the past.

With two memorable nights to look forward to, Lucy Dacus is LA’s “best guess at the future.”

“On The Road” (Tyler Childers)

Tyler Childers and his band, The Food Stamps, are on the road.

The grassroots country artist is bringing his buoyant honky-tonk sound to the Hollywood Bowl on June 10 to kick off the summer. Riding on the bucking success of his 2023 LP, “Rustin’ In The Rain,” Childers has begun his extensive tour of the U.S. with a career-spanning setlist. The 33-year-old American singer-songwriter was described by the Associated Press as “one of country music’s most compelling and unpredictable artists” and is best known for his quintessential unruly tunes of cowboy love and rural living. Tickets for Childers’ LA show, which will feature Robert Earl Keen and SOMA, start as low as $82.

Childers’ “Rustin’ In The Rain” debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 album chart in 2023, gaining recognition from publications such as PopMatters, Pitchfork and AllMusic. The Kentucky-born singer is bringing his new music to the stage but will also pull from nearly all of his past releases, including his 2019 LP “Country Squire” and 2017’s “Purgatory.” So far, Childers’ set has a total of six tracks from the LP, exciting fans with his distinguished neotraditional twang and daring multifaceted tunes.

Tickets to see Tyler Childers live can be “All Your’n” if purchased soon.
