The sun is shining, and while hay fever may be kicking in, the sunnier months of 2025 are officially upon us.
With that comes the urge to plan: whether it's attending one of the many music festivals across the United Kingdom this year, or pacing oneself for the imminent arrival of several high-profile concert tours.
From returning Britpop legends to some of the finest pop anthems emerging from the current scene, we've compiled some of our top picks for UK music events throughout the remainder of the year.
Many of these events still have tickets available through Ticketmaster or See Tickets, while for those already sold out, there's always the option to check StubHub or Twickets for potential resale tickets.
So, what's filling up our calendar for the rest of the year, outside of the festival circuit? Read on this Easter weekend and start planning your tour schedule!
