Some of the hottest tours of the summer include Foo Fighters, U2 and Radiohead

Summer is a great time to see live music. It’s the busiest concert season by far, and when it comes to this summer’s shows, StubHub has put together the most in-demand concerts on tap. The ticketing platform has unveiled the artists that have the most in-demand concerts scheduled between Memorial Day and Labor Day, 2018, and the list ludes alternative rockers Foo Fighters, U2 and Radiohead.

Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters have the No. five tour on the list, with U2 hitting No. seven and Radiohead and No. nine.

So, who has the most in-demand tour of the summer? It’s no big surprise that pop star Taylor Swift tops the list. Other rock acts to score big this year include classic rockers the Eagles at No. two and ’80s favorites Def Leppard and Journey at No. eight. Harry Styles, Beyonce and Jay Z, Kenny Chesney and Sam Smith round out the top 10.

This is U2’s second consecutive year on the list, as Bono and the gang appeared on the 2017 tally of the most in-demand StubHub tickets. View this year’s top 10 below.
