SAN JOSE, Calif. — It’s already shaping up to be a huge year for concerts in 2025.

So many biggie acts have announced shows in the Bay Area in the New Year. And these stadium/arena gigs collectively represent a wide array of musical genres — from Latin pop and hip-hop to hard rock and country.

Here is a look at the current list of top shows scheduled for 2025 in the Bay Area. (We plan to keep adding to this file as more big shows are announced.) Click on the associated links for more information about each show.

Shows are listed chronologically.

Tyler, the Creator

Having canceled his headlining set at the 2024 Outside Lands Music Festival, the hip-hop artist is set to make it up to local fans with three Northern California shows in early 2025. Tyler, the Creator brings his Chromakopia: The World Tour to Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on Feb. 23, Oakland Arena on Feb. 24 and Chase Center in San Francisco on March 5.

J Balvin

The Latin music icon’s Back to the Rayo Tour is set to stop in 27 cities across the U.S. and Canada in 2025. And, thankfully, two of those shows are in Northern California. J. Balvin performs concerts on May 10 at the SAP Center in San Jose and May 11 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.

Festival La Onda

Having made a successful debut in 2024, the two-day Latin music celebration returns to Napa for Year 2 on May 31 and June 1. Headliners for the 2025 Festival La Onda include Marco Antonio Solis, Banda MS, Pepe Aguilar, Carin León and Grupo Firme.

Stray Kids

Oh, it’s going to be fun when this massively successful K-pop act hits North America with its dominATE World Tour, which also currently includes stops in Asia, Latin America, Europe and the United Kingdom. Bay Area fans can plan to catch Stray Kids on May 28 at Oracle Park in San Francisco.

 

Coldplay

Where is the multiplatinum pop-rock act playing this time through the Bay Area? Shoreline? Levis? Oracle Park? Nope, nope and nope. Coldplay is actually set to become the first-ever major rock act to perform at the current Stanford Stadium (which was built in 2005). Coldplay visits the home of Stanford football May 31 and June 1.

Metallica

Local Metallica fans were definitely starting to get to worried, after watching these metal men announce two years worth of shows — and none of them were happening in the Bay Area. Oh, but James, Lars, Kirk and Robert weren’t about to forget their hometown fans and finally announced Metallica M72 Tour dates for June 20 and 22 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Shakira

Get ready for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, the global superstar’s 2025 North American jaunt that launches May 13 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte and include stops in Toronto, Boston, Miami, Las Vegas and a number of other cities. Bay Area fans get their turn when Shakira performs June 30 at Oracle Park in San Francisco.

Post Malone

The multi-talented pop star is set to launch his biggest headlining tour to date — the Post Malone Presents: The BIG ASS Stadium Tour — which will take the vocalist to 25 cities across North America. Touring in support of first full-length country music — “F-1 Trillion” — Post Malone performs July 1 at Oracle Park in San Francisco.

Linkin Park

The SoCal rap-rock outfit is set to perform its first Northern California dates in over a decade. So, fans definitely won’t want to miss when Linkin Park — which currently consists of Mike Shinoda, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain — performs Sept. 15 at SAP Center in San Jose and Sept. 17 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
