Where do you fly back from? Milan?

Are you a soccer fan? Euros will be on in France in June.

My thoughts as well. You have to see soccer in Europe even if it isn't your favorite sport. It is interwoven into the culture.

Ditch the Kevin Gates concert for (what we'll call) "scheduling conflict"reasons.
His only other European appearances are three shows in Frauenfeld, Switzerland in early July. That doesn't work for you well either.
You can see him 15 May at a drag strip in Hattiesburg if you are intent on this version of his tour.
Obviously start in Italy and work your way to Switzerland then France then Spain then England then I'd do a week in Ireland and then Iceland and then back to Germany into Austria and back to Milan for the flight home.
If money is anything of an object, check RyanAir for flights between European cities, they're cheap but they're a pain-in-the-arse.
Good luck and have fun.

I could talk about my trip and recommendations all day, but I will keep it simple. Make sure Ireland/Scotland, Amsterdam, Cinque Terre, Czech Reublic, and Paris are all on your list. Those places were highlights of my 8 week trip. Wish I would have done Switzerand and Croatia. Skip Berlin, it sucks.

I'm gonna edit a few times bc there's a lot to reply to...
My return flight is also out of Milan.
Not a huge soccer fan, but would like to see the netherlands or PSG play. I'd also be down to watch Messi and Barcelona but idk how expensive it would be.
thanks soccerfüt. That was actually my exact plan, but austria instead of germany because I already did a long trip in Germany
thanks for the info. cinque terre a must-see? I was considering it. will be solo for that portion of the trip.

I did Cinque Terre and Paris with a GF, so that probably made it a little more special. Cinque Terre is just a neat place and pictures don't do it justice. I really enjoyed the hikes and wandering down side streets in each little town. Can't beat the red wine anywhere in Italy.
The others I mentioned I did with a good friend. We had a blast everywhere, but those were highlights. Of those, 2 places you will want to check out regardless of going solo or with someone is Dublin & Amsterdam. Just be personable and it's hard not to have a good time. Helped I had the World Cup literally every night of my trip also.

use rom2rio . com to help plan your trip and get an idea of how you want to travel between cities either planes, trains or busses.
even if you aren't a huge soccer fan being in france during the euros will be amazing, especially in a host city. You will see some crazy arse fans and have an amazing time. Buuut you could also get blown up by some jack arse terrorist.
Wimbledon would be cool as would the running of the bulls, but you need to decide if you want to see these thing and what dates then try to make them work.
like i said play with rome2rio to help plan the trip, it will give you an idea of travel cost and help decide a good route to take

Being single might be fun to go over to Mykonos as well. Of all the places I've been the Greek Isles (Crete & Santorini) have been our favorite. Since I was with my wife to enjoy this that's why I say Mykonos bc it's much more of a party scene.

Don't forget seat61.com. This site was a huge help for me in trying to figure out train routes and times. Helped tremendously.
