Explained simply
Touring is a way for musicians and comedians to perform live in different cities, often to support a new album or mark a milestone. Some tours bring several performers together, while a residency means an artist gives a series of shows in one place.
The acts named here span different styles and stages of their careers. Zach Bryan is a country singer-songwriter, Tinashe makes pop and R&B, and Iron Maiden are a long-running heavy metal band; Matchbox Twenty are marking three decades together, while Ben Folds Five are returning for dates after a long break.
These announcements matter to fans planning to see the performers, and to the artists and venues organising shows across multiple cities. Ticket availability and prices can vary by event, and a tour announcement does not mean every date is already on sale.
