From Oasis's long-awaited return to the stage to Kneecap and Bob Vylan's scrapes with the law, 2025 has been one of the busiest years for live music in the modern era.

2025: A year of reunion and rebellion as politics and nostalgia rule

Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher put their differences aside after almost 15 years and reformed Oasis for their Live 25 tour.

Confirming their reunion at the end of 2024, the band said: "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."

After fans battled dynamic pricing and hefty ticket resales in 2024, the tour kicked off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4, continuing for more than 40 shows, which included seven dates at London's Wembley Stadium and five in Manchester's Heaton Park.
