There are eight artist comebacks we’re keeping an eye on for 2019. Some artists or bands are so consistent we take them for granted and roll out albums and tours like clockwork (looking at you, Rolling Stones).
However, other bands are so mercurial that they can hardly get together long enough to cut a new album every decade. These are the bands and artists who leave us impatiently waiting for the day they decide to go back into the recording studio.
Here are eight comebacks that we cannot wait to see in 2019. Whether these musicians are sticking around or they’re returning for a one-time thing remains to be seen, but we’re excited to catch these albums and tours.

Hootie & The Blowfish
The '90s are never going out of style, as proven by the reunion of Hootie & the Blowfish. The band hasn't been a thing since singer Darius Rucker took time off to pursue an extremely successful career in country music.

Ciara
It's been close to five years since Ciara last released an album, but in late 2018 she gave us the first single to her newest album, which is due in 2019. If the album's anything like her past work, it'll be worth the wait.

The Strokes
Five years after their last album, Julian Casablancas casually revealed the Strokes' newest album could be here in 2019. It's a long wait for what was once the premiere upcoming band in the world.
