Senior Eva Prendergast shares, “Yeah, she [Goulding] has a few great hits, but this tour goes to prove that sometimes the opening acts can be better than the headliner. If I were to go to her show in Tampa, I would be going for the openers, Years & Years.”

Justin Bieber

After going off the rails the past couple of years, and releasing new material here and there, Bieber will be performing 111 shows on his third world tour. The Purpose World Tour will be in support of his fourth album, Purpose. This tour, without a doubt, is the most anticipated tour of 2016. Although Bieber will not be playing Tampa this tour, he will be playing an hour and a half away in Orlando on June 30, 2016.

Junior Olivia Stevens shared, “I’m such a geek for boy bands and 5SOS isn’t an exception. After seeing them on their last tour in Tampa, I was angry to see that their only making one stop in Florida and its 4 hours away. Hoping and praying I’m able to go now since One Direction is on a break, I need my dose of a foreign boy band concert.”
