If you’re still looking for the perfect gift for the music-lover in your life, why not treat them to some concert tickets for 2025?
Whatever music you’re into, there are plenty of great bands and artists heading out on tour in the coming months, from pop princesses like Sabrina Carpenter and Dua Lipa, to rock bands such as Stereophonics and Guns n’ Roses.
Many of these tours sold out in just minutes after they were announced this year, leaving plenty of fans empty-handed and broken-hearted. But you could be the hero this Christmas with a little help from resale sites like viagogo or VividSeats.
Sites like these 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 guarantee.”
So, if you’re wondering how to bag yourself some concert tickets for 2025, keep reading to find out who you could go and see, and how…
Snow Patrol
First up, indie rock band Snow Patrol are heading out on the road in February, touring their new album, The Forest Is The Path, in London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Hull, Glasgow, and Manchester, as well as in Belfast and Dublin.
The band, which has been going since 1994, are also set to return to the UK next summer, playing shows at Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire as part of the Forest Live festival, as well as on Plymouth Hoe in Devon as part of Plymouth Summer Sessions.
A limited number of tickets are still available on Ticketmaster, starting from just under £50 for a restricted-view ticket, or from £112 for a verified Ticketmaster resale ticket, offering a clear view of the stage.
And for the Westonbirt Arboretum show, tickets will set you back £75 each for standard entry, or £110 each for VIP entry, while Plymouth Summer Sessions tickets to see Snow Patrol will cost £65 each for general admission standing, or £112 for a VIP Garden Ticket.

Sabrina Carpenter
Pint-sized pop princess Sabrina Carpenter released tickets for her Short n’ Sweet tour in the UK and Europe back in July, a month before her sixth studio album was even released. But that didn’t stop fans from rushing to snap them up.
The 25-year-old will be performing in Birmingham, London, Glasgow, and Manchester, from March 6-14, 2025, before returning to headline at BST Hyde Park in London on July 5.
There is low availability on Ticketmaster across all of her UK tour dates at the moment, although you can opt to be put on a waiting list to hear if new tickets are released, or when Ticketmaster-verified resale tickets become available.
Alternatively, you can grab resale tickets starting from £220 on viagogo, or from £270 on VividSeats, at the time of writing.

Robbie Williams
Only last month, Robbie Williams, former star of 90s UK boyband Take That, announced a four-show tour across the UK, visiting Edinburgh, London, Manchester, and Bath.
The news was so well received that he quickly added a second date in each city except Edinburgh, and he will be performing across the UK between May 31 and June 14, before continuing his tour throughout Europe.
The 50-year-old is one of the world’s most decorated artists, having bagged a record-breaking 18 BRIT awards, and enjoyed 85 million album sales worldwide. He will also be just one of a handful of artists who has ever performed on the lawns of the historic, Grade I-listed Royal Crescent in Bath, which in turn will be celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2025.
Tickets are still up for grabs from Ticketmaster, starting from £82.50 for a seated ticket, or £104.50 for a standing tickets, for Robbie’s London shows at the Emirates Stadium.
Meanwhile, if you’re in the south-west and keen to go to the Bath show, this will set you back £125.50 for general admission tickets, or £266.20 for Gold Circle tickets.

Coldplay
Last but by no means least, Coldplay will return to the UK next summer, to finish off their Music of the Spheres world tour in London and Hull.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, tickets flew out on Ticketmaster after Coldplay announced their final UK dates back in September. However, there are still plenty up for grabs on resale sites, if you are prepared to shell out for them.
At the time of writing, the cheapest resale tickets available from viagogo start at £220 for Coldplay’s London shows, and at £315 for their shows at Craven Park in Hull. Meanwhile, on VividSeats, London prices start at £230, and Hull tickets cost a minimum of £340.
