Christmas is – frighteningly – just over a week away. And if you haven’t bought all of your loved ones the perfect gift just yet, there is thankfully still some time. Music fans in the family are a little more difficult to purchase for, though.
CDs are basically a dead medium at this point, and unless your gift-ee is into vinyl records, you may feel a little stuck about what to shove in their stockings. Thankfully, buying tickets for live gigs does not have to be as expensive as you might expect.
With a number of ticket websites, resale sites, and second-hand sellers around, you could become a hero with some last-minute tickets on offer for events throughout 2025.
We’ve collected the best and brightest artists from ticket giants (like Ticketmaster) and resale sites (viagogo, Twickets, etc) to give you the best look at what’s coming up in the UK for 2025. From Taylor Swift to Guns N’ Roses, this is your ultimate gift guide for music lovers one and all.
Taylor Swift – Tribute Act

First up: Taylor Swift – well, sort of. The American icon was the talk of the town over summer as her Eras Tour took hold of the UK for (what felt like) months.
Sadly, her shows have now come to a definitive end, and she currently has no other shows planned anywhere in the world. Thankfully, there is a unique opportunity upcoming.
The Taylor Swift tribute act Miss Americana is hitting the UK in 2025 with a massive amount of events.
From Manchester to Leeds to London: Miss Americana is all over the country next year. Here’s the links you need:

Oasis

Oasis brought the music media to their knees earlier this year when they confirmed they would be reuniting – and that wasn’t all. The brothers Gallagher confirmed they’ll be going on a massive UK and USA tour titled Oasis Live ’25.
Across this journey, the iconic Champagne Supernova stars will be playing in stadiums around the country.
Tickets were some of the most sought-after products on the shelves, so they’re still a little tough to come by, but there are some websites you can look at.
Here’s two resale sites fans ought to check out if they want Oasis tickets – one official, one not – and may the digital queue ever be in your favour.

Coldplay

Coldplay’s massive 2025 tour has already set tongues wagging, and it’s only going to get more exciting as the months go on.
Much like Oasis, the incredible pop/rock band are hitting some of the country’s biggest and best stadiums next year, and they promise to bring some joy, as well. And with such tracks as Fix You, Yellow, Viva La Vida, and The Scientist, I think it’s going to be a hugely successful tour.
Tickets sold out in many places very quickly, but if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to grab some right now.
Here’s the links you might need to get your last-minute tickets now.

Guns N’ Roses

This list simply wouldn’t be complete without a mention for Guns N’ Roses. The Welcome To The Jungle singers recently announced their 2025 tour, and it’s an exciting one.
Guns N’ Roses’ 2025 shows will be the first time the band have toured British soil in many years, so it’s one you don’t want to miss. With more than 200,000 audience members set to watch the band play, this could be one for the books – especially if they are winding down their careers.
Axl Rose and Slash front the band, with Duff McKagan, Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus (since 2002), and Frank Ferrer joining the line-up as well.

Gary Barlow, best known for being in the wonderful pop band Take That, is going on a tour next year on his own.
The Rule The World singer will be hitting such arena stages as Newcastle’s O2 City Hall Leicester’s De Montfort Hall, Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall – to name just a few.
Tickets for the star’s tour did not sell out as soon as they were released, so Take That fans are encouraged to look at Ticketmaster for some of the final entries there.

If Gary Barlow isn’t your cup of tea, might we recommend Robbie Williams?
Another former member of Take That with a monumental repertoire of solo music, and another tour kicking off in 2025.
This adventure will also begin just after the star’s biopic, Better Man, hits cinemas, so it is expected to become quite popular in the coming months.

Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter has become one of the most powerful, most recognisable and most viral artists over the past year.
And 2025 is going to be even bigger for her. The American starlet will be hitting the UK with her Short N’ Sweet tour, which is hitting arenas up and down the UK.
She’s capping off her time on the road with shows at London’s O2 Arena, where she’ll play to more than 20,000 people per night.
Tickets went out the door fast when they were released, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still snap up a bargain.
