When To Use
Upcoming is used to describe something that is scheduled or expected to happen or to be presented or released in the near future. A close synonym is forthcoming.Upcoming is most often used to describe events that will happen soon, like a wedding or an election, or things that will be released soon, such as an album, movie, or new product.The term typically implies that the event will happen or the thing will arrive relatively soon, such as within a few weeks or months or within a year or so. The farther away something is, the less likely you’d be to describe it as upcoming. You also probably wouldn’t use the word for something happening tomorrow.Upcoming should not be confused with the similar-sounding term up-and-coming, which means successful and likely to become more successful.Example: There is a lot of buzz around the up-and-coming band’s upcoming album that will be released in the spring.
