ROAD WARRIORS: PJ HARVEY, JT, USHER, P!NK

Today's tour news includes a rare North American visit from an alt-rock trailblazer and the pairing of two veteran indie outfits. First up, however, are itinerary expansions by several pop big-timers. Get your pencils ready because there will be a quiz later.

USHER's previously announced 2025 trip to Europe, his first in a decade, now includes a seventh London show at The O2 (4/11), a second at Paris' Accor Arena (4/16) and a fourth at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome (4/26). The first batch of 12 Live Nation-promoted international shows has already sold out, at 170,000 tickets. The North American leg of the Ron Laffitte-managed artist's Past Present Future Tour begins 8/20 in Washington, D.C., and is also doing boffo business with sellouts across the board.

Elsewhere, Hozier has tacked on six "final" shows to the North American portion of his Unreal Unearth Tour, which is by far the Irish singer-songwriter's biggest across the pond to date (nearly all of the 53 gigs on the Live Nation run are already sold out). Newly added are stops in Indianapolis (5/28), Grand Rapids, Michigan (5/29), Tucson, Arizona (9/13), Albuquerque (9/22), San Antonio, Texas (9/24) and Oklahoma City (9/26). Take us to church, indeed. (FUN FACT: In 2014 Hozier played at Koreatown’s Immanuel Presbyterian, cap: 1,750 congregants.)

After concluding the first of two North American legs of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour this summer, Justin Timberlake will bring the show to Europe starting 7/26 in Krakow, Poland, with dates on tap through 9/6 in Lyon, France. Per Live Nation, 22 North American shows have already gone clean and more than 550,000 tickets have been sold for the multihyphenate's first large-scale roadwork since 2018.

Here's one for you cool kids: PJ Harvey (below), which, as you cool kids know, is the name of Polly Jean Harvey's band, is heading to North America for the first time since 2017 for shows in support of I Inside the Old Year Dying, its acclaimed 2023 album. The U.K. ensemble will get things started 9/11 in Washington, D.C., and wind its way west before a 10/14 finale at the Greek.

Indie rock mainstays The National and The War on Drugs have both previously headlined at an arena level, so fans will get extra bang for their bucks when the longtime friends team up for the fall Zen Diagram Tour with special guest Lucius. Beginning 9/12 in Gilford, New Hampshire (Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion), the jaunt will visit such arenas as Chicago's United Center (9/24) and Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena (10/1) and concludes at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City (10/10). This is the National's first time partnering with Live Nation for a full tour.

Finally, P!NK has again augmented her LN-mounted P!NK LIVE 2024 Tour, this time with six fall gigs in such U.S. locales as Detroit, Milwaukee and Birmingham, Alabama. Beforehand, the artist will be out on her Summer Carnival stadium run, which opens 8/10 in St. Louis. Raise your glass, gangsta!
