BEST OF 2021: TOURS

It’s been a crazy year for everyone in the music industry, so the team here at Square One share their list of their best tours from 2021.

#5 sad summer fest

No one’s quite had a year like Sad Summer Fest have with their controversies. From avoiding commenting on allegations surrounding All Time Low, to cancelling the Atlanta date the morning of, it’s been a hectic year for the alternative Warped Tour-style festival, and definitely not for all the right reasons. Though, who can argue with a lineup like that?

#4 neck deep’s r&l weekender

England natives Neck Deep had originally planned two shows to act as warm-ups ready for their appearances on the Main Stage at 2021 Reading and Leeds Festival. Due to venue complications, the band announced that they could no longer play their hometown of Wrexham, and simply played two back-to-back shows in Chester, instead!

#3 PURE NOISE RECORDS TOUR

Luckily not faced with as many issues as the previous tours combined, the team over at Pure Noise Records showcased their finest talent with this year’s label tour, hailing across the States with some of the strongest names in the music industry to date. I’m not gonna lie - I’m jealous that I couldn’t make a trip over the pond to go experience this tour myself!

#2 pvris summer

us tour

With the release of their 2020 album Use Me, fans had high expectations for the summer US tour from PVRIS. With venues being packed and the crowds dancing and singing along to every word, the tour was one to remember.

#1 twenty one pilots’ icy tour

Twenty One Pilots seem to be going nowhere but up. Their latest album, Scaled and Icy, has skyrocketed them into the stratosphere, their army of fans behind them all the way, and it’s no different with this tour.
