Presales by Artist 2027: 150 Artists, Country by Country

Presales by artist profile: why the type of act changes the ladder

The ladder of windows in front of a general on-sale is built by the artist's team, the promoter and the ticket seller together, and it reflects who they want to reward and how much demand they expect. A band with a loyal older audience may reward its fan club. A pop act with a young audience may use verification to keep bots away. A festival headliner may leave everything to the festival. The size of the room matters too: the larger the building, the more windows it can hold. For a buyer, this means that the most important question is not "when does the presale start?" but "what kind of act is this?" Once you know the type, you know which accounts to hold, which lists to join and how far ahead to prepare. The sections below go through six types. They overlap, and many artists sit between two. But the framework is a quick way to understand the artist pages, and to predict what a new announcement is likely to involve.

Presales by artist: pop and R&B stadium and arena tours

Pop and R&B tours in big rooms tend to have the longest ladders. Look at Ayra Starr, whose October 2026 sale ran through a Verizon presale in the United States, an artist presale, Live Nation, Spotify, Mastercard, Telekom, PayPal, Supercard, Sunrise and TWINT windows in Europe, and a venue-members slot in Amsterdam before general sale on 16 October. Our page on Ayra Starr walks through each country. FLO, Olivia Rodrigo and Hilary Duff show the same idea at different scales, from theatres to residencies of many nights. The tactic for this type is breadth. Hold the ticket-seller account, the promoter account, the streaming account and the cards that matter in your country, and join the artist's list. You rarely need all of them, but you may need any one of them, and you will not know which until the announcement. Calvin Harris shows how a dance act used a Spotify window first, then an artist window at noon, then venue and Live Nation windows, so that a fan with several accounts had several tries. Our presale types guide lists the kinds of access in one place.

Presales by artist: K-pop and fan-club-first sales

K-pop tours in Europe and North America are built around the fan club. Membership is usually checked at a cut-off date, access details are sent through the club's platform, and the first window can be reserved for members only. The queue is heavy and the supply is limited, so preparation matters more than speed. ATEEZ is an example of a 2027 tour whose European sale has not been announced, and the page explains what to prepare. Other pages in this family include TXT, ENHYPEN, Stray Kids, BTS and BLACKPINK. The practical rule for this type is to check the club's terms before you pay for anything. Terms differ by tour, so a membership that gave access last time may not give access this time. Our guides to fan club presales and to Japan and South Korea, where ballots and fan-club lotteries are common, explain the underlying systems. For Europe, the pages on Germany and France describe the local platforms.

Presales by artist: rock, metal and the quiet general sale

Rock and metal tours often have shorter ladders. Nickelback used an artist presale on 13 October 2026, partner windows on 14 and 15 October and general sale on 16 October across North America and Europe. Iron Maiden sold its North American dates from 19 October with general sale on 23 October, and the band is on a break from touring elsewhere in 2027. AC/DC has been reported to release tickets to everyone at once, and our page explains what that means for preparation. Metallica, Slipknot and Megadeth have their own pages. For this type, the artist list is the most valuable account, because it usually feeds the first window. After that, venue lists and promoter accounts matter. When a band chooses a single release, the advantage goes to the buyer who is ready: a saved card, a verified account and a clear target. Bon Jovi shows how a stadium tour can be sold country by country over a fortnight, with Australia and the UK first and North America a week later. Read the page for the country where you live and the one where you might travel.

Presales by artist: Latin tours and bank-card windows

Latin pop and reggaeton tours often hinge on bank-card windows and virtual waiting rooms, especially in Mexico, Spain and Brazil. Bad Bunny, Karol G, Camilo, Shakira and Rosalía have pages, and each one says where the information comes from. The common features are early windows for cardholders of particular banks, a staged queue and, in some countries, discounted tickets for certain groups set by law. The practical advice is to hold the right card, test it for online payments and check whether the seller accepts foreign cards. Our guides to Mexico, Spain and Brazil explain the local systems. A fan who travels between countries should compare the rules, because the same artist can sell in very different ways in Madrid, Mexico City and São Paulo.

Presales by artist: country, hall and theatre acts

Not every tour is a stadium. Emeli Sandé, Madness, Arthur Hill, Holly Humberstone and Editors play halls, theatres and academies, where the presale often means a venue list or a mailing list and the general sale may be a plain release without any early window. Luke Combs shows the country-music version: a fan-club presale first, then Ticketmaster general sale, across a Saturday-only stadium run. For this type, the most useful account is the venue's own. A theatre's newsletter or a box office's priority booking can give you the first notice, and the box office may offer a better seat choice than the national platform. Accessible booking is usually separate, and it is worth asking early. The guide to venue presales explains how these lists work. Our page on Hans Zimmer covers a film-music arena tour, with a card-member window and an artist list, aimed at a very broad audience.

How to use the 150 artist pages on presales by artist

Start with the artist, then the country. Each page begins with a lead sentence that tells you whether a 2027 tour exists in our data. If it does, the text goes country by country, naming the real dates and sale windows from the records, and explaining the rules that apply in that market. If it does not, the page says "not announced yet" and explains how earlier sales worked and what to prepare. It never invents a date. Use the tables on each page for dates and times, and the text for the reasoning. If you want the sale calendar across many artists, use the calendar and the country calendars, such as the UK calendar and the US calendar. If you want the rules of a market, use the country pages. If you want the meaning of a term, use the glossary. And if you want to be told when something opens, use the alert form on each artist page or tap the bell next to a tour.

Presales by artist when no tour is announced yet

Some of the biggest names on the site have no 2027 tour in our data. Coldplay, The Weeknd, Rihanna and Chappell Roan are examples. For them, the page says plainly that nothing is announced, explains how their last sales were reported to work and sets out what to prepare in each region. This is deliberately cautious. Pages online that give a presale date for a tour that has not been announced are guessing, and we do not. The right use of these pages is as a preparation guide. Join the lists, hold the accounts and set a budget, then wait for the announcement. When it comes, our alerts will send the date, the local time and the platform. We do not publish presale codes, and we do not sell access. No one can sell you a place in a sale that does not yet exist, and offers of that kind should be ignored.

Reading the dates on presales by artist pages: local time, ladders and gaps

Every artist page contains tables of dates and sale times, and a few habits make them much easier to read. First, the time is local to the venue, so a 10am start in Cologne is not the same instant as a 10am start in Chicago. Second, the table usually shows the first window and general sale, but the text may mention additional windows in between, as in the three-day ladders that tours like Nickelback and FLO used in October 2026. Third, a blank cell does not mean there is no sale; it often means that the information was not announced. Gaps are common. A date may be listed with the venue "to be announced", as with several German dates for Emeli Sandé and the European dates for ATEEZ, and in that case the sale details are normally unknown. We do not fill such gaps with guesses. When the information is confirmed, the page is updated and the alert goes to anyone who asked for it. If you are planning travel, treat unconfirmed venues as a reason to wait before booking anything that cannot be cancelled. The last habit is to compare. If a tour has two or three dates near you, read the sale rows for each. One city may have a venue window that another lacks, or a sale hour an hour earlier. A fan who reads the table with care often finds the quietest route.

Mistakes to avoid across presales by artist pages

The most common mistake is to rely on a time from another country. A friend in London says "ten o'clock", but you are in Madrid, and the Spanish sale starts at ten Spanish time. The second is to join only one list. A fan who relies on one route has one chance, while a fan who holds several accounts has several. The third is to wait for a presale that never existed, as with tours that went straight to general sale. A fourth mistake is to pay for access. Real presale access is tied to an account, a list or a product, and cannot be bought from a stranger. A fifth is to ignore the small print, such as ticket limits, name rules and age limits. A sixth is to leave accounts unprepared until the morning of the sale. Passwords are forgotten, cards expire and addresses change, and a queue is a poor place to fix them. Finally, many fans forget the second chance. After a big sale, returns and released seats appear for weeks. Our pages describe what happened in each case and what remains, because the end of a presale is rarely the end of the chance to buy.

Presales by artist FAQ

Readers of the hub tend to ask how the pages are built, how much to trust them and what to do next. The answers below are short but complete. For rules that apply to every artist, such as queues, ticket limits and refunds, our general presale FAQ goes into more depth. If you have a question about a particular tour, go to the artist's page, where the sale details are set out by country. Each answer points to the page where the detail lives, so that you can move from the general to the particular without repeating yourself. If something is not covered, the alert form on any artist page is the quickest way to ask to be told about it.

How do presales by artist differ from one act to another?

The differences come from who runs the first window and how much demand the team expects. Pop acts use long ladders with card, streaming and promoter windows. K-pop acts start with the fan club. Rock acts often use an artist list and a short general sale. Latin acts use bank-card windows. Hall acts rely on venue lists. The artist pages say which applies, using the sale data we hold. In practice you can predict a lot from the genre and the room. A theatre show by a singer-songwriter will probably sell through a venue list and a general release, while a stadium pop tour will probably involve a staged ladder with several partners. The artist pages show the real details for each tour in the data. Where the same artist sells in several countries, the ladder can differ from one country to another, so the country tables matter.

Which presales by artist cover tours that are already on sale?

Many of them. Nickelback, Hilary Duff, Teddy Swims, Ayra Starr, Olivia Rodrigo, Tame Impala, FLO, Calvin Harris, Bon Jovi and Luke Combs are examples of 2027 tours whose sales have started. The page for each explains what has happened and what remains, such as returns and added dates. The page for each of these explains what has already happened and what remains, such as returned seats, added dates and the rules for resale in the country. Because the main windows are closed, the advice is mainly about second chances and preparation for the next announcement. The same applies to Bon Jovi, whose North American presale is only days away, and Luke Combs, whose stadium tour sold through a fan-club window.

Do presales by artist pages give presale codes?

No. We do not publish, sell or leak codes. Access comes from the channel that runs the window, and our alerts tell you when and where it opens. Be cautious about anyone who claims to offer one. Presale access depends on an account, a list or a customer relationship, so a code from a stranger is not useful, and an offer of that kind should be ignored. Our alerts give the date, the local time and the platform, and nothing else. Official invitations come from the artist, the venue or the seller. Genuine access arrives by email or app from the organiser.

What if my artist is missing from the presales by artist pages?

Use the country and type pages, which cover the systems that apply to any artist, and the calendar pages for sales that are open. They explain how presales work in each market and for each kind of access, from fan clubs and card programmes to venue lists and ballots. If your artist is announced later, the same logic applies, and our alert form can tell you when a window opens. You can also set up an alert and be told when your artist announces dates. These pages are built to answer the same questions for any artist. If your artist is announced later, the same logic applies, and our alert form can tell you when a window opens.
