This year there's some mighty big tours coming our way, here's a few we're really looking forward to seeing live on stage.
ANNABEL ROSS
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: I'm thrilled to finally be checking out the Boss's legendary live show.
Justin Bieber: Haters will hate, but I can't wait to see the stadium erupt into Sorry.
Pitch Music Festival: The finest electronic music line-up ever seen in this country and the setting looks mint.
Adele: If any voice can fill Etihad Stadium, it's Adele's. Got tingles already.
Bluesfest: Despite some cancellations, the line-up, including Patti Smith and Mary J. Blige, is formidable.
MARTIN BOULTON
Patti Smith: Someone I've come to appreciate more over time, a fascinating artist who continues inspiring those who've come after her.
Guns N' Roses: Missed LA's legendary rockers in '93 at Calder Park, not making the same mistake this time.
Big Thief: Last year's Masterpiece album was welded on, now stoked to see the Brooklyn four-piece are making their first visit.
Nathaniel Rateliff: I challenge anybody to not dance when Rateliff and the Night Sweats crank up the soul, gospel and blues grooves.
Booker T: Live tracks from the Stax Records catalogue with the Hall of Fame inductee who was part of the legendary Memphis label.
ANDREW DREVER
Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band: We've been spoilt by Springsteen in recent years and who knows when The Boss will return after this.
Cyndi Lauper: Hot on the heels of Kinky Boots, expect wine-stained grins all round when Girls Just Want to Have Fun drops at these wineries dates.
Dixon at Pitch Music Festival: The world's number one DJ for each of the last four years. The German label boss (Innervisions) and producer is a house music expert.
Diplo: A rare solo DJ tour by the Major Lazer main man. Expect bangers, cultural mash-ups and unexpected pop drops.
Michael Kiwanuka: Kiwanuka's wonderful second album, Love & Hate, was slept-on upon its release, but rightfully received much love from critics in many 2016 end-of-year best-of lists. .
ANTHONY CAREW
Frankie Cosmos: Bedroom-confessional cult heroine brings her twee-pop miniatures here for the first time.
Margaret Glaspy: Glaspy's delicious debut album Emotions & Math matched warm Americana to salty lyricism.
Chain and the Gang: Ian Svenonius is the greatest rock'n'roll frontman in the world.
ABRA: The moody, minimalist outsider's R&B; is filled with negative space and feelings of isolation.
Sonny and the Sunsets: Oddball storyteller returns to Oz to play Boogie, and his hit jam Well But Strangely Hung Man.
JENNY VALENTISH
The Specials: Dance like there's nobody watching while there's a nine-piece band playing.
The Damned: Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible helm this line-up for some golden-age goth melodrama.
Andrew Bird: Bluesfest sideshows are a reverential setting for Bird's literary lyrical wranglings. He'd have put that better.
Blondie: Not done yet, Blondie released a new album this year, but get ready for some Lower East Side pop hits.
Patti Smith: Still on the legendary-artists-of-New-York theme, Patti does Horses; we all can die.
