We all lives with regrets.
For some of us, not seeing your favorite musicians live in concert can be pretty painful.
Speaking from experience, missing Elton John on the North American leg of his 2022 ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Tour’ hurt us pretty badly.
It’s the ultimate kind of FOMO — we’ll never get another chance to hear “Rocket Man” live IRL and we just have to accept that.
To make up for it, we’ve gone ahead and done you a solid.
Our team combed through all the biggest tours taking place in 2023 and compiled a list of all the biggest stars who are hanging it up for good after their respective tours.
We just want to ensure that you don’t miss any of your favorite acts who are calling it quits after their upcoming runs.
We’re talking Dead and Company, KISS, Gladys Knight and many, many more.
That’s right; there’s no more Gene Simmons in KISS makeup after this year.
Plan accordingly.
Now, without further ado, we present to you the 13 biggest farewell tours in 2023 you won’t want to miss — because they’re not coming back.

*This might not be Explosion In The Sky’s final tour. The band has left the meaning of their tour name ambiguous.
Many acts that aren’t hanging it up (as far as we know) are out and about on the road this year.
Here are just five of our favorite groups you won’t want to miss live these next few months.
• Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
• Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band
