2027 On-Sale Calendar: U2, Matchbox Twenty, Tinashe, Tortuga and More

A busy week of announcements has left a stack of sale dates to track, and several overlap. The key ones: U2 opens to the general public on Oct. 22, Matchbox Twenty and Tortuga follow on Oct. 23, and Boardwalk Rock's presale also starts Oct. 22. This calendar runs in date order, starting with sales that have already opened and moving forward to the latest one in the batch. Every time listed is local to the venue unless noted, and every date comes from the reports linked in each entry. Two names on the original watch list, Calvin Harris and Ultra, are not covered below because the information available for this edition had no sale details for either. Check their official channels directly.

A quick orientation: presales usually come first and require a code, a fan account or a membership. General sales follow and are open to anyone. If you missed a presale, the general sale is still your main shot, so the dates below matter most.

Oct. 16 and 19: GoldenSky and Tortuga presales

GoldenSky returns to Discovery Park in Sacramento on Oct. 9-10, 2027, with Zach Bryan, Megan Moroney and Treaty Oak Revival headlining, according to CapRadio. Presales began Oct. 16 at 10 a.m., and the report lists a general sale at noon on the festival's website, so confirm there whether it has opened. The lineup has more than 20 artists across the two days, including Whiskey Myers and Wyatt Flores. The festival is produced by Danny Wimmer Presents and has a multi-year commitment to Sacramento through 2029.

Tortuga Music Festival 2027 runs April 2-4, with Florida Georgia Line, Eric Church and Megan Moroney headlining on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Holler reports. The alumni presale began Oct. 19 at 10 a.m. Newly introduced 1-day and 3-day passes will be available at presale. Supporting acts include Ne-Yo, Stephen Wilson Jr., Train, Tucker Wetmore and Goo Goo Dolls. General sale is covered below.

Oct. 20: Tinashe and Matchbox Twenty presales

These have started, but they show how each sale is staged. Tinashe's artist pre-sale (code POPSTAR) opened Oct. 20 at 10 a.m., followed by a Live Nation All Access pre-sale at noon, per Consequence. For Matchbox Twenty, a Reserved by Spotify presale opened Oct. 20 at 10 a.m. for eligible Premium top fans, and the artist presale opened at 5 p.m. with registration through the band's tour website, according to TicketNews.

Oct. 21 (today): Tinashe general on-sale

Tinashe's general on-sale is today, Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster, per Consequence. Her 'THE SHOW MUST GO ON' North American tour starts April 14 in Dallas and ends May 15 at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles. Separately, she is set to open for Harry Styles at Phoenix-area dates in early April 2027, so those shows are a different ticket from her headlining run.

Oct. 22: U2 general sale and Boardwalk Rock presale

U2's 'The Greatest Show On Earth' world tour goes on sale to the general public Thursday, Oct. 22, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster, according to iHeart. The first dates are stadium shows starting in February 2027: Feb. 23 and 26 in Mexico City, March 10 and 12 in São Paulo, and March 23 and 25 in Buenos Aires. More Europe and North America dates are expected in the coming week, and Beck is support. If you are waiting for a closer city, that week is worth watching before you commit to a trip.

The same day, Boardwalk Rock presale starts for the May 14-16, 2027 festival in Ocean City, Md., per WMDT. Korn, Bad Omens and Iron Maiden headline, and the bill also includes Bullet For My Valentine, Sleeping with Sirens and Slash. The festival returns after a one-year pause in 2026. The report did not give a general sale date, so check the festival's site.

Oct. 23: Matchbox Twenty and Tortuga general sales

Two general sales land on Friday, Oct. 23, both at 10 a.m. local time. Matchbox Twenty's 30th Anniversary Tour covers North American dates for 2027, from May 15 in Birmingham to Aug. 12 in Grand Rapids, and the band will also play the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, on April 25, TicketNews reports. Openers include The All-American Rejects, The Wallflowers, David Gray, O.A.R. and Matt Nathanson on different stretches, so the support act depends on your city.

Tortuga's general sale also opens that morning, according to Holler. If you want one of the new 1-day or 3-day passes, remember the report ties them to presale, so confirm on the festival's site what remains available at general sale.

Presale and buying checklist

Use this before each sale opens.

• Write down the exact time for your city. Most of these sales start at 10 a.m. local time, but Tinashe's All Access presale and GoldenSky's general sale were at noon.
• Register early where required. Matchbox Twenty's artist presale needed registration through the band's tour website.
• Check whether a code is involved. Tinashe's artist pre-sale used one, so look for it before the general sale rather than after.
• Check your memberships. Spotify Premium, Live Nation All Access and festival alumni status each opened an earlier window in this batch.
• Log in to the ticket seller (Ticketmaster for U2 and Tinashe) with payment details saved ahead of time.
• Compare dates before buying. Matchbox Twenty and Tortuga share a general sale day, and U2 may add dates near you within a week.
• Decide on festival pass type before the sale, since Tortuga added 1-day and 3-day options.
• Use the official links from the artist or festival site.
