Top Picks For September 2026

These six shows and runs define the month across pop, R&B, indie, and rock.

  1. Majid Jordan Supporting Bryson Tiller (The Neo Trapsoul Tour) — Virginia Beach & Bristow, VA, September 9–10: The Canadian-Bahraini R&B duo steps into amphitheater-scale rooms as direct support on one of the fall’s key R&B tours. Because the two shows land on consecutive nights in the Mid-Atlantic, fans in the D.C.–Richmond corridor can treat them as a drivable double-header.

  2. Malcolm Todd (Do That Again Tour) — Philadelphia, PA, September 18–19: Two nights at The Met Presented by Highmark give Todd a strong, near-hometown showcase. The back-to-back format lets returning listeners hear how the set shifts from one night to the next.

  3. Phoebe Bridgers (The Lost Tour) — Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY, September 24–25: Her first full-band solo headlining run since The Reunion Tour ended in early 2023 reaches one of Brooklyn’s premier arenas. The show is phone-free, with phones and other electronic devices locked in Yondr pouches upon entry. Devices remain available in designated lobby areas for emergencies, and phones still handle mobile entry tickets.

  4. Charli xcx (Music, Fashion, Film Tour) — Philadelphia & Brooklyn, September 11 & 14: Two Northeast arena stops on her Music, Fashion, Film Tour concentrate the run for regional fans. The dates bookend the Northeast leg and highlight the tour’s full-scale production.

  5. Olivia Rodrigo (The Unraveled Tour) — PeoplesBank Arena, Hartford, CT, September 25–26: Two nights in Hartford anchor the New England leg of a major arena tour from one of the decade’s dominant pop artists.
