We know asking St. Petians to cross the bridge for anything other than pro sports or a flight out of TPA can be a tough sell, but big concerts are one of the best perks about being so close to Tampa. Looking at the star-studded lineup in 2026, this may well be the Year of the Concert in Tampa, no offense to the Year of the Horse.
If you have a favorite pop star with a new album, they’re probably coming to Tampa this year. If you have a mid-2000s guilty pleasure that hasn’t released new music since you were wearing a pooka shell necklace, they’re probably coming, too. It’s a long and packed lineup, and it’s giving you plenty of excuses to visit downtown Tampa or stop by the Seminole Hard Rock before a concert.
This is a slimmed-down version of the list on our sister site That’s So Tampa, so you’ll get the biggest highlights here. However, if you want the full rundown, you’ll want to check out the full list of great Tampa concerts in 2026, as well as a few worth driving elsewhere in the state for.
