What to expect: When singer/keyboardist Christine McVie returned to the band for the first time since 1998, fans welcomed her back with open arms. Because of its success, the rockers (rounded out by Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Lindsey Buckingham), who saw their biggest success in the 1970s and early \'80s, are embarking on more of their

Where and when: Kicks off Jan. 27 in Hampton, Va., and wraps March 8 in Inglewood, Calif.

What to expect: Each with new albums out — Brown\'s

X, released in September; Songz\'s Trigga, last July — the R&B all-stars are bound to get tongues wagging on their coast-to-coast jaunt, crooning recent hits such as Loyal and Na Na. Rapper Tyga, featured on Loyal, will also be along for the ride.

Who it\'s for: Groups of gal pals spending a night on the town and reluctant boyfriends who pretend not to know every song.

Where and when: Kicks off Feb. 11 in Vancouver, and wraps March 20 in Nashville

What to expect: After enjoying an eight-week run at No. 1 last year with body-positivity anthem

All About That Bass, the 21-year-old is out to prove she\'s more than just a doo-wop novelty song. And with debut album Title out this week, be prepared to hear many different shades of the pop princess on her coming-out tour.
