(something) is coming up (at a certain time)

Talk about something that is going to happen soon with the phrase "___ is coming up":

Sorry, I can't. Final exams are coming up in a couple of weeks.

Don't you have some vacation coming up soon?

The deadline is coming up at the end of this month.

Layoffs are likely to be announced next week.
