Oasis, Lewis Capaldi, Lady Gaga and more: 2025’s most anticipated upcoming tours

We’ve already been treated to an amazing first half of the year, concert-wise, but artists aren’t letting up yet; 2025 has some mammoth stadium and arena gigs still in store.

Last year was defined by Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour finally reaching the UK, the Co-op Live Arena’s disastrous opening, and, of course, the Oasis reunion announcement.

With Oasis Live ’25 now underway and seemingly every band imaginable announcing a return — from The Pogues to the Scissor Sisters — 2025 is going to be one for the ages.

Dua Lipa has become the highest-selling artist for Priority customers with her Radical Optimism Tour, according to O2 Virgin Media.

She was followed closely by Lana Del Rey, who announced her first-ever UK stadium tour earlier this year, and Usher with his 10-show residency at London’s O2 Arena.

There’s so much live music happening this year, from Lewis Capaldi’s comeback to Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Ball… so these are all the biggest UK tours in 2025.

After a two-year hiatus, Lewis Capaldi returned to the stage this year with a surprise slot at Glastonbury, walking out to cheers from thousands of adoring fans who certainly missed him.

The Someone You Loved hitmaker, 28, also dropped a new chart-topping single called Survive, featuring emotional lyrics about his time away from the spotlight.

Lewis initially embarked on a break due to struggling with Tourette’s and the impact it was having on his everyday life, having broken down in tears and struggled to finish his set at Glasto ’23.

But after some much-needed rest and recuperation for his physical and mental health, he’s heading back out on the road.

He’ll be playing 10 shows across the UK and Ireland, starting in Sheffield on September 7 and concluding on September 29 in Dublin.

When sharing the tour news, Lewis wrote on Instagram in his typical comedic style: ‘about time I got back to work… hope to see you out there’.

After fans quizzed him on the possibility of adding more dates, he confirmed that this will be a limited run of gigs; however, there appears to be every reason to hope for more in 2026.

You heard right, Little Monsters, Mother Gaga is touring again.

Lady Gaga will bring The Mayhem Ball to the UK in September, kicking things off at London’s O2 Arena for five nights before heading to Manchester’s Co-op Live for another two on October 7 and 8.

Announcing the tour – which follows 2022’s The Chromatica Ball – she confirmed 62 shows in total across the US, Europe, Australia, and Asia.

Gaga, 39, confessed at the time that she ‘wasn’t planning to tour this year’ but, following the release of her Mayhem album and the epic fan reaction, she changed her mind.

‘It came together super quickly thanks to Arthur Fogel and the amazing team at Live Nation, who planned a global tour in just a few weeks,’ she shared.

‘We chose arenas this time to give me the opportunity to control the details of the show in a way you simply can’t in stadiums—and honestly, I can’t wait.

‘This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings MAYHEM to life exactly how I envision it.’

‘The MAYHEM Ball Tour is officially coming your way. See you soon, monsters,’ she signed off.

Tickets are now thin on the ground but if you’re lucky, you might still be able to grab some.

It would be impossible to think about all the concerts without the epic Oasis Live ’25 World Tour. After nearly two decades, Noel and Liam Gallagher have buried the hatchet and are performing together once more, which is something we never expected to be saying.

The formerly feuding brothers are set to play 17 shows in the UK, 16 years after their dramatic split put an end to the Britpop era.

After much speculation, The Verve’s Richard Ashcroft and indie rockers Cast were announced as the openers — to a mixed response.

All shows are sold out, but fans should keep an eye on official resellers Twickets and Ticketmaster as last-minute tickets might still pop up.

Oasis’ long-awaited reunion is set to be the biggest concert of the year, so if you get the chance to go, take it; it might never happen again.

The iconic 70s group Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra will tour one last time after the death of bandmate Richard Tandy last year.

Their nearly sold-out tour will see the Mr Blue Sky legends play just three dates, including a headlining BST Hyde Park, which was announced in October.

Jeff, 77, said of the farewell BST gig: ‘My return to touring began at Hyde Park in 2014. It seems like the perfect place to do our final show.

‘We couldn’t be more excited to share this special night in London with our UK fans. As the song goes, “We’re gonna do it One More Time”.’

Roy Wood, 78, and Bev Bevan, 80, are not thought to be joining Jeff for these final shows, having left the band in 1986.
