Best Contemporary Pop in December 2024

Mariah Carey at Wells Fargo Center

Mariah Carey

It's that time of year! On November 1, 1994, Mariah Carey changed the holidays as we know them by dropping the super festive anthem 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' from her iconic Merry Christmas album. Immediately racing to the top of music charts the world over, the bop has since become as standard every December as twinkle lights and candy canes, selling over 16 million copies. Join the undisputed Queen of Christmas (sorry, Mrs Claus) for a very special tour, Mariah Carey's Christmas Time!

Aurora at The Fillmore

Aurora

Ethereal Nordic folk singer-songwriter Aurora is bringing her dazzling display of talent to the States this winter on the What Happened to the Earth tour.

Her live shows are well-known for their uplifting and heartfelt spirit, so what are you waiting for? Don't miss out on the magnificent Aurora!

Suki Waterhouse at Franklin Music Hall

Suki Waterhouse

While she may portray a musician in Amazon's upcoming adaptation of the bestselling novel 'Daisy Jones and The Six,' Suki Waterhouse is no impostor. The English actor and musician will be bringing her expansive and expressive pop sound to U.S. shores in fall 2024 on The Sparklemuffin Tour with Bully and Debbii Dawson as support on certain dates. Don't miss the 'Good Looking' singer when she takes the stage near you!

Postmodern Jukebox at Keswick Theater

Postmodern Jukebox

A pet project of jazz pianist Scott Bradlee, Postmodern Jukebox gained a loyal following through their Youtube channel. The collective cover modern pop tracks (and some old classics as well) in a big band style. Everyone from Miley Cyrus to TLC has got the Postmodern Jukebox treatment, and now they're bringing their retro stylings to you!

Don McLean at Lansdowne Theater

Don McLean

Singer-songwriter Don McLean has more than his fair share of great songs to his name, but one stands head and shoulder above the others. Released in 1971, the epic 'American Pie' remains one of the great tracks in popular music history. Expect to hear that and more on one of McLean's live dates this year.

Joy To The World at American Music Theatre
