List: Every major concert and comedy show coming to Portland metro in 2026

PORTLAND, Oregon — From arena-filling pop stars to comedy heavyweights and classical legends, 2026 is shaping up to be a packed year for live entertainment in the Portland metro area.

Major tours will roll through venues ranging from the Moda Center and Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall to McMenamins Edgefield and the Crystal Ballroom, giving Oregonians and southwest Washingtonians a wide mix of music, comedy and live performance.

The year kicks off with comedians and rising acts, including Daniel Tosh in January and a busy February that features Ghost, Cardi B, Ricardo Arjona and Michelle Buteau. Cardi B’s stop at the Moda Center marks her first full arena headlining tour in six years, supporting her album “Am I the Drama?” while metal fans can catch Lamb of God later in March.

Spring brings a blend of Grammy winners, alternative favorites and classical icons. Brandi Carlile returns to Portland in March with The Head and The Heart, followed in April by Yo-Yo Ma at the Schnitz and a run of indie and rock acts including AFI and CMAT. Florence + The Machine headlines the Moda Center in May, one of several major pop and alternative shows slated for the month.

Summer and fall continue the momentum with outdoor concerts and blockbuster tours. Rainbow Kitten Surprise, CAKE and Jack Johnson are set for Edgefield, while arena shows from Megan Moroney, 5 Seconds of Summer, Tyler Childers and Doja Cat round out the year.
