2025 is just days away at this point, and while the beginning of any year is a slog, it does herald the start of a new era of live music. 2024 was monumental for British music fans as we had some incredible arrivals – including Linkin Park, Tate McRae, Paul McCartney, and Chappell Roan to name just a few.
Next year, however, is promising to have even more surprises, tours and exciting moments along the way, as well. There’s all sorts on this list, including pop stars Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish and a Taylor Swift tribute – but also something for the hard rock fans.
Guns N’ Roses and Oasis are top of the bill, with Linkin Park making their return to the country as well. Here are our top picks for British concerts and gigs kicking off in 2025 and where you can buy tickets right now, including official retailers, resale websites, and others.
What are Viagogo and Vivid Seats
Sites such as viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double-check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale – such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation – to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.
With that said, viagogo also commented: “viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the freedom to buy and sell tickets to their favourite live events, safely and securely, backed by a guarantee.”
Busted Vs McFly

Both Busted and McFly toured the UK across 2024, and they have always had a slightly over-egged rivalry. Well, next year, they’re taking it to the next level.
Earlier this year the bands confirmed the Busted Vs McFly tour will be kicking off next year, with each of them headlining across each date. Considering these two haven’t toured together since the McBusted revival, it could be one fans do not want to miss.

Speaking excitedly about this upcoming tour, Mike Shinoda said: “Getting back out on the road has been incredible. The fans’ support is overwhelming, and we’re ready to take this energy even further around the world.
