Taylor Swift:
The most anticipated tour of the summer is Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. The Bay Area has long waited for her two nights at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on July 28 and 29. Tickets were quickly sold out, but many are being resold. Her performances so far have been going viral in the media with fans raving over her outfits, each planned to correspond with an era. She even includes unique surprise songs buried in the set list for each night.

Her fans never disappoint as they often plan outfits that correlate to her lyrics or are simply reflective of an era. Whether it is a sparkly cowboy hat or rhinestoned boots, “swifties” always look the part. The Eras Tour is the spotlight concert of the summer.

Luke Bryan:
Luke Bryan is returning to Shoreline Amphitheater on July 22. The “American Idol” host is one of the most-known country artists. His most popular “Country Girl (Shake It For Me),” is always the best at getting the audience on their feet. He is sure to include many well known country anthems mixed with some recent works. Shoreline is surely one of the liveliest concert hotspots, its lawn being popular for picnicking and the open skies that suit the summer weather.

Country concerts are always the best opportunity to go all out. Attendees typically wear cowboy boots and are sure to include denim in their outfits. Luke Bryan’s Country on Tour will be a night to remember.

Outside Lands:
San Francisco is the home to the biggest music festival in the Bay Area. Outside Lands is set for August 11-13 in Golden Gate Park. The festival includes three main stages that will hold the headliners Foo Fighters, Kendrick Lamar and Odesza as well as other minor artists. The festival will be held the weekend before the 2023-2024 school year begins, making it the perfect chance to celebrate the end of summer and the start of the new year.

Outside Lands supports local businesses by having tents with food from Bay Area restaurants. Be sure to bring essentials like sunscreen, a water bottle and layers. The festival’s variety of artists ensures the audience’s enjoyment.

Re:SET:
The Frost Amphitheater is located at Stanford University and is hosting the Re:SET concert series. It is smaller and more mild compared to the well-known and big festivals, but still has factors like food and multiple artists. The concerts are spread over three days from July 2-4. Each artist also performs on the same stage, ensuring that the audience has the chance to experience every headliner.

The headliners include LCD Soundsystem, Steve Lacy and Boygenius. Each day begins in the afternoon and consists of more than three artists daily. The handful of artists performing are a variety of alternative, indie and rock genres. This concert presents a less overwhelming music festival.
