The Killers: confirmed

The Killers have announced a huge UK stadium tour for 2020, in support of their sixth studio album, 'Imploding The Mirage'.

The Las Vegas rockers will kick things off at The Falkirk Stadium on Thursday 28th May, rounding 'The Imploding Mirage Tour' off at Dublin's Malahide Castle on Tuesday 16th June.

Back in 2017, the band came to the North West to play two sold-out dates at Manchester Arena.

The Killers return to Manchester on Saturday 30th May, performing at Emirates Old Trafford. Support will come from Stockport indie band, Blossoms.

Adele

With Christmas just around the corner, Adele fans are preparing themselves for the rumoured December release of her fourth studio album.

While no official announcements have been made, fans are beginning to speculate over a Adele 2020 tour. Could the global megastar make her live return to UK stadiums next summer?

The global megstar last visited the North West in 2016, where she played four sold-out shows at Manchester MEN Arena. This leaves no doubt that she's ready to take on the dizzy heights of Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground.

Coldplay

Following Coldplay's double album announcement, there has been growing speculation over a 2020 UK tour.

The British pop rock band last visited Emirates Old Trafford in 2017, where they performed at the One Love Manchester benefit concert alongside: Ariana Grande, Liam Gallagher, Miley Cyrus, Little Mix and more.

Although they're an established stadium band, there's every chance Chris Martin and co could return for huge show next summer.

Beyoncé

US superstar Beyoncé has become a welcomed regular at the Principality Stadium. After her debut performance in 2016 on the 'Formation World Tour', she returned in 2018 with husband Jay Z as part of the 'On the Run II' world tour.

Queen Bey typically hits the road every two years. As 2020 will mark her two year live hiatus, the Beyhive are patiently anticipating a new tour.

After news broke that the 'Crazy in Love' singer is filming her new music video for 'Brown Skin Girl', rumours of a new album have surfaced.

If Beyoncé goes on the road next year, there's every chance she could make her third appearance at Wales's national stadium.

Rihanna

Barbadian superstar Rihanna officially announced her ninth studio album in her Vogue cover story, in June 2018. Ever since, Ri Ri has been teasing fans on social media and interviews, only confirming that the record is inspired by reggae.

Rihanna's army of fans have speculated that her ninth studio album will be called 'R9' - so much so Rihanna herself feels compelled to give it this name.

If the 'Umbrella' singer makes her live return next year, we expect she will book up stadiums across the UK, including a return show at Principality Stadium.

Bruce Springsteen

Earlier this year, Springsteen revealed that he will record a new album and tour with the E Street Band in 2020. Speaking to Italian news site Repubblica, he said, “I’ll record with the E Street Band in autumn, and when we’re done, we’ll go on tour.”

The Boss brought the 'Wrecking Ball Tour' to Principality Stadium in 2013, which mark his last performance in Wales.

Following the release of his 2019 solo album 'Western Star', no European tour dates have been announced. However, fans remain hopefully The Boss will make his third appearance soon.

Lady Gaga

Like many artists of late, Lady Gaga has been teasing her Little Monsters with tweets about her long awaited sixth studio album.

Throughout this year, the Grammy Award winning star has confirmed work on her new record is underway, while addressing pregnancy rumours.

Lady Gaga sent fans into meltdown, after claiming that she's going to call her new album ADELE, after the British singer songwriter.

After Gaga shared photos of herself and Adele, fans have been suspicious of a surprise collaboration.

The 'Born This Way' singer last toured the UK in 2017 with the 'Joanne World Tour'.

Although she only performed at Arena Birmingham and Genting Arena, she was forced to cancelled shows scheduled for Manchester Arena and London O2 Arena, due to pain from fibromyalgia.

If Lady Gaga comes back to the UK in 2020, out bets are on a stadium tour including Emirates Old Trafford.  

Tame Impala

In June 2019, psychedelic rockers Tame Impala, played their biggest-ever UK headline show at the O2 London Arena.

The Australian band performed their backcatlogue of melodic tunes to a sold-out crowd of 20,000, for two nights. They also headlined the 2019 Coachella Festival, Primavera Sound Festival and Pitchfork Festival.

Kevin Parker and co announced their fourth studio album, 'The Slow Rush' is due for released on 14th February 2020. With a 2020 tour looking more likely, we suspect the band will take on bigger venues across more cities, including Manchester's Old Trafford Cricket Ground.    

Kanye West

Kanye West released his ninth studio album, 'Jesus Is King' on 25th October 2019. The record adopts a Christian hip hop theme, with West describing it as "an expression of the gospel".

The Metro reported: 'the star insists he’ll tour ‘right away’ following the release of blockbuster new album Jesus Is King.'

The American rapper and fashion designer hasn't toured in three years. His last toured the UK in 2012, where he performed at London O2 Arena, Manchester Arena, Dublin O2 Arena and LG Arena, Birmingham.

While no official tour announcements have been made, we suspect Kanye to return to the UK for a stadium tour, including Emirates Old Trafford.  

Taylor Swift

Back in 2018, Taylor Swift brought her 'Repuation' tour to London, Manchester and Dublin for one night only.

Following the release of her seventh studio album 'Lover', Tay Tay's only confirmed UK concert date is the 2019 Jingle Bell Ball.

The 'Shake It Off' singer recently announced that she's scheduled to play a number of festivals 'for the first time in ages'. Taylor confirmed appearances at European festivals in 2020, but there has been no mention of UK festivals so far.

Could she treat Swifties with  a surprise UK stadium tour, stopping at Emirates Old Trafford?
