It’s shaping up to be an incredible year for music in 2025 so far with a number of tours having been announced for the New Year so far.
That’s not even considering some of next year’s high profile music festivals, many of which have already announced their headliners and first wave of artists. But festivals aside, there’s plenty on offer up and down the length of the United Kingdom…
… and believe it or not, some of the shows we’ve selected in our “25 for 2025” still have tickets available through Ticketmaster, See Tickets or ATG Tickets. But for those who missed out on, let’s say, Oasis tickets - there’s still a chance on the resale market be it Twickets (in the case of the Gallagher Brothers) or StubHub.
But with plenty more tours set to be announced in early 2025, here’s our picks for the year ahead, so far.
