Starting things off yesterday with our recap of who we thought to be the hottest 20 producers of last year, followed by today’s most slept on projects, we keep the ball rolling as we highlight some of the best tours that swept the planet over the course of 2016.

Being a logical guess, we can assume that most, if not all, fans of music have the dream of seeing their favorite artists in a live setting. An experience that is often times indescribable, there’s little to no better feeling than witnessing your favorite singer and/or rapper delivering their music in front of your eyes in the flesh.

As with every year, the touring circuit for 2016 was scorching hot and featured many of the music industry’s superstars hitting city after city. From Drake and Future bringing the heat with their “Summer Sixteen Tour,” to Beyonce setting the bar even higher on her “Formation World Tour,” the forthcoming tours of 2017 have high expectations to live up to.

Highlighting the best of the year, get into our top 15 tours, ranked in order, on the pages ahead.
