The hot weather of summer is officially upon us and with it comes an amazing lineup of show-stopping musicians. To embrace the intersection of music and fashion, Fashion Reverie has curated a list of musicians going on tour in the upcoming months that are known for both their talent and style.
As with most art, different mediums can be intersectional. Fashion and music, however, can be a balance that is extraordinarily hard to strike without a professional stylist’s help. While most of these musicians now have stylists that help them put together outfits for their performances, the image that they cast is quite obviously them.
What is the easiest way to tell that someone is being their authentic self? Look at their fashion.
Over the years, there has been a progression in how musical artists’ dress. Some of the artists picked for this round-up that have some of the hottest upcoming summer tours are still relatively new to the industry, but others have become akin to the deepest roots in music and fashion. Scroll down to see the musicians Fashion Reverie cannot help but admire for more than just their talent.
Taylor Swift
The Taylor Swift Eras tour needs no introduction, after plenty of hype on social media and then plenty of issues revolving around purchasing tickets few have been left unaware of the upcoming Taylor Swift concert. With ‘Swifties’ everywhere uniting to create the perfect ‘Eras Tour outfits and Swift herself stunning in modified versions of her favorite looks over the years this tour is sure to not only shake up the music industry, but also the fashion world’s thoughts on concert outfits.
Taylor Swift’s performances began in the U.S on March 18th and will end on August 5th of 2023.
Beyoncé
Queen Bey needs no introduction; her skills often extend outside of music and well into fashion. After dropping her “Renaissance” album, the next logical step was a tour. Performing in eleven different countries over the next few months, Beyonce is ready to serve up looks that will become cult classics. From custom items created by Alexander McQueen, Loewe, and Balmain, the ‘Beyhive’ is sure to follow her lead and add more metallic twists to their fashion choices this summer.
Beyoncé performs in the U.S. from July 12th to September 27th of 2023.
Harry Styles
Vogue’s first solo male cover star, Harry Styles has been shaking up fashion’s gender norms since he branched out post-One Direction. Often employing details and embellishments that are considered feminine, Styles uses this to create outfits that are not only stunning, but a way to make a statement about gender fluidity.
When it comes to dressing for a Harry Styles’ concert, most pay attention to the same fashion statements that Styles pays attention to, and that is fabrications and embellishments. So, whether you have a ticket for his upcoming tour or not, consider sequins, lace, frills, and plenty of sheer fabric.
Harry Styles performs in the U.S. on October 3 and October 15 of 2023, most of the Styles’ summer tour takes place in Europe.
Janet Jackson
This is the tenth tour by the American institution Janet Jackson. Long-time fans of this pop icon are certainly getting excited. Making her debut in ‘The Jacksons’ TV show in 1976, Janet would go on to appear in multiple other shows through the rest of the 1970s. By the early 1980s, Janet discovered the talent that she would become known for, her music and fashion taste. Signing with A&M Records in 1982, turning out albums and hit singles would prove to be her strength, just as much as her punk princess style.
The ‘Together Again’ tour is another chance for the world to see how her style has evolved over the years and given the all-black outfit and sheer top we saw her wear at Christian Siriano’s fashion show back in 2022. There is certainly reason to get excited.
Janet Jackson performs in the U.S. from June 9th to October 27th, 2023.

Lana del Rey
This is the first time that Lana del Rey has performed in years, while the upcoming shows are all performances at different music festivals throughout North America, fans are purchasing tickets simply to see her. The release of her new album “Did you know there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd” earlier in 2023 has reintroduced her to the spotlight, and with that we are seeing new and more mature versions of her previous fashion sense that was so popular a few years ago.
Well-known at the start of her career for calling upon style inspiration from the ‘60s and ‘70s, del Rey seems to now be invoking nostalgia from the 2010s with her fashion choices, With all that said, Lana del Rey still calls on ‘the freedom land of the 1970s’ for a bit of added support.
Lana del Rey performs in the U.S from July 9 to October 1, 2023.
