There was no shortage of epic shows and tours in 2015, but some left concertgoers talking more than others. Fans have submitted more than 3 million concert reviews to Ticketmaster, so we decided to crunch the numbers and see which shows inspired the most fan reviews this year.
Major tours by pop royalty like Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift are no surprise here, but there are also some unexpecteds like Jay Z’s two super intimate shows at NYC’s Terminal 5.
Check out 2015’s most-reviewed shows below, and let us know if your favorite artist made the cut in the comments.
Rock & Pop
Paul McCartney had a huge year that included the final leg of his Out There! Tour, unforgettable performances at Lollapalooza and Firefly Music Festival, and an epic appearance on the SNL 40th Anniversary Special. The gushing fan reviews leave no doubt about it: Beatlemania is alive and well.
Other most reviewed acts: Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Sam Smith

Dance
Bassnectar lit up the festival circuit in 2015 with euphoric sets at Austin City Limits, Bumbershoot, Made in America, Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, and many more. Fans’ minds were blown, and their reviews are so vivid we can almost feel the bass.
