Oasis Reunion Tour 

On the 27th August 2024, British band Oasis announced a highly anticipated reunion. Almost exactly 15 years since their split, the Gallagher brothers announced that they would be coming back together to tour the UK in 2025, with fans of the band struggling to hide their excitement. When tickets came on sale, they sold out in minutes as the public tussled with ticket-selling websites in order to see the Wonderwall singers live for the first time since 2009. 

Having announced seven dates for Wembley Stadium as well as more dates up and down the UK, Engage are offering hospitality for four of the Wembley shows. Join Engage on the 25th July, 3rd August and 27th & 28th September 2025 to witness history as one of the world’s biggest bands take centre stage. 

Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR 

Earlier this month, Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR announced that they would be returning to the UK and Europe this summer. It is Drake’s first UK tour since 2019 naming it ‘$ome $pecial $hows 4 UK’ in reference to his new album ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U’, in partnership with fellow Canadian star PARTYNEXTDOOR. 

The album debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 as Drake achieved his fourteenth chart-topper cementing his name in the conversation for the greatest rapper of all time. With shows at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham, the Co-Op Live in Manchester and more shows around Europe, you certainly do not want to miss the ‘God’s Plan’ hitmaker as he embarks on an eagerly awaited series of concerts. 

Coldplay  

Another iconic performer in this wonderful list of summer events is Chris Martin and Coldplay. With one of the most popular bands of all-time, experience an atmosphere like no other as you dance away to tracks including ‘A Sky Full of Stars’ and ‘Viva La Vida’ beneath a dazzling light production. 

Coldplay will take to the stage at Wembley Stadium once again this summer to celebrate their new album ‘Moon Music’. Join Engage between the 22nd August and 8th September 2025 for a stunning ten shows underneath the Wembley Arch, watching from the best seats in the house. Exclusive seating, complimentary drinks, a delicious buffet and more awaits, as you get lost in the music! 

Lana Del Rey 

Lana Del Rey is another superstar that will be performing in London’s most iconic stadium this summer. On the 3rd and 4th July 2025, join Engage Hospitality and witness one of the World’s biggest popstars at Wembley. The American singer-songwriter headlined music festival Coachella in 2024, as well as Reading and Leeds festival.

Other Events 

There are plenty of other music events this summer to get excited for. Dua Lipa will take to the Wembley Stadium stage this weekend as part of her Radical Optimism Tour, while Guns N’ Roses and Linkin Park also feature in the capital this June. 

Elsewhere, American Express presents BST Hyde Park with appearances from artists such as Sabrina Carpenter, Zach Bryan and Olivia Rodrigo whilst Hampton Court Palace Festival is brought to a close this week as Chaka Khan, Gary Barlow and Elbow all perform.

We’re currently in the midst of festival season and following Glastonbury, we’ve still got Reading and Leeds, BST Hyde Park and plenty more to look forward to this summer. 

And if you’re already looking ahead to next year, there’s still so much more to come. Whether you’ve already got tickets or you’re planning your next gig, we’ve got you covered, with the ultimate guide to all the confirmed and rumoured concerts taking place in 2026. 

Olivia Rodrigo 

The 22-year-old pop sensation is one of the biggest stars in the world and she recently gained even more popularity after an electrifying Pyramid Stage performance to close Glastonbury on the final night, where she dueted with The Cure’s Robert Smith. 

And while no tour is currently planned for 2026, there’s a good chance she’ll be back on the road. Rodrigo’s GUTS world tour came to a close last October and fans will be desperately hoping the ‘good 4 u’ icon announces an extension in the coming months. 

Bad Bunny

After bursting onto the scene back in 2018, rapper and singer Bad Bunny has established himself as one of the biggest stars on the planet. He was spotify’s most-streamed artist three years on the trot and he’s set to bring his Latin vibes to London next summer. 

The Puerto Rican artist will be performing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th June as part of his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour. And having done collaborations with superstars such as Dua Lipa, Drake and Cardi B, he may treat his London fans to a special guest or two. 

Metallica

Another confirmed act going on tour in 2026 is iconic American heavy metal band Metallica. The legends have been rocking out since the early ‘80s and they’re set to hit the road in Europe next summer. 

They’ll be doing one night only in various places, including Glasgow and Cardiff next June. Plus, they also have ‘No Repeat’ weekends planned in Dublin in London, where they’ll be playing two entirely different sets with different opening acts across two nights. 

Bruce Springsteen

Much like Olivia Rodrigo, Bruce Springsteen hasn’t yet confirmed his plans for 2026. However, the legendary performer has shown no signs of slowing down, having spent much of 2025 touring. 

The 75-year-old is known for his energetic, long-running gigs and he’s recently teased new music is on the horizon. So if you’re a fan of ‘the Boss’, keep your eyes peeled as you may get the chance to hear ‘Born To Run’ and a few new surprises at some point next year. 

Jason Derulo

If you’re looking to cure the January Blues at the start of the 2026 with some live music, why not go and see Jason Derulo on his world tour? The ‘Ridin’ Solo’ star is bringing his The Last Dance tour to the UK, with dates in Birmingham, The O2 in London, Cardiff, Brighton, Bournemouth, Leeds, Manchester and Dublin. 

Take That

Having last toured in 2024, there have been strong rumours that Take That will be back on the road next year, with a new album reportedly in the works. Their last record, This Life, which was released in 2023, came six years after their previous one but fans aren’t expected to wait as long this time around. 

Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen have been touring as a trio since Jason Orange quit the band in 2014. The iconic group started back in the ‘90s alongside Robbie Williams and fans will be hoping for new music as well as the chance to hear hits including ‘Back For Good’ and ‘Relight My Fire’ in 2026. 

Taylor Swift

One star that hasn’t announced plans for a 2026 world tour is Taylor Swift – but fans across the world will be crossing their fingers that she makes a swift return (pun intended!). The pop icon concluded her record-breaking The Eras Tour last October, playing 149 shows across 51 countries. 

It became the highest-grossing tour in history and was the first to ever gross more than $2 billion in revenue. The ‘Anti-Hero’ and ‘Blank Space’ singer is understandably enjoying a well-earned break, but there are hopes she’ll revive the famous tour in 2026, giving fans another chance to enjoy the spectacular show. 

Radiohead 

Another band that fans are hoping to see in 2026 is Radiohead. The ‘Creep’ band are celebrating their 40th year performing together and there are strong rumours that they’re preparing to hit the stage again soon. 

Their last album came out way back in 2016 and there have been whispers online that a comeback record is on the cards. If a new album were to be released, it’s inevitable that a world tour would follow. Watch this space! 

The Prodigy 

Among the highlights of Glastonbury was The Prodigy’s full-throttle set and if you enjoyed it, we’ve got some good news. The electronic English icons are back on stage in 2026, with dates across the UK. 

DJ Carl Cox is set to join them on tour as they visit Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bournemouth, Leeds, London, Belfast, Nottingham and Newcastle. 

Billy Joel 

The legendary Piano Man singer was due to perform in the UK, with rescheduled dates planned in Edinburgh and Liverpool. The 76-year-old has been a staple of the music scene for decades and finished a 104-concert residency at Madison Square Garden last summer. 

However, he’s sadly had to cancel all of his upcoming gigs for health reasons, having recently been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus. 

Anyone else? 

There are plenty more famous acts set to hit the road in 2026. The Feeling have announced a tour to celebrate their 20th anniversary, while fellow bands Franz Ferdinand, Gipsy Kings and Scouting For Girls all have 2026 dates scheduled. 

‘Tik Tok’ singer Kesha is set to perform in Glasgow, Manchester, London and Wolverhampton, while music fans will also have the chance to see the likes of James Arthur, Boyzlife and Yungblud in 2026.

10 Facts about Oasis

1. Formation: Oasis was formed in Manchester in 1991. The band originally consisted of Liam Gallagher (vocals), Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs (guitar), Paul McGuigan (bass), and Tony McCarroll (drums). Noel Gallagher, Liam’s older brother, joined shortly after as the lead guitarist and main songwriter.
2. Debut Album Success: Their debut album, Definitely Maybe (1994), became the fastest-selling debut album in British history at the time. It included hits like “Supersonic” and “Live Forever.”
3. Britpop Rivalry: Oasis had a famous rivalry with fellow Britpop band Blur in the mid-90s. Their singles “Roll with It” (Oasis) and “Country House” (Blur) were released on the same day in 1995, with Blur winning the chart battle. However, Oasis ultimately outlasted them in popularity.
4. Iconic Album: Their second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995), was a massive global success. It featured classic tracks like “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and “Champagne Supernova.” The album has sold over 22 million copies worldwide.
5. Gallagher Brothers’ Feud: Noel and Liam Gallagher’s volatile relationship was a defining feature of the band. Their frequent public arguments contributed to the band’s tension and eventual split in 2009.
6. Knebworth Concerts: In 1996, Oasis played two legendary concerts at Knebworth Park to over 250,000 people over two nights. Over 2.5 million people applied for tickets, making it one of the biggest outdoor concerts in British history.
7. Noel Gallagher’s Songwriting: Noel wrote the majority of the band’s songs and became known for his anthemic style and sharp lyrics. Songs like “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” became modern classics.
8. Rock and Roll Lifestyle: Oasis was known for their wild, rock-star lifestyles, including heavy drinking, drugs, and infamous outbursts. This added to their rebellious image in the 90s music scene.
9. Awards and Recognition: Over the years, Oasis won numerous awards, including Brit Awards for Best British Album (for (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?) and Best British Band. They are considered one of the most influential British bands of all time.
10. Breakup: The band finally split in 2009 after Noel left the band following a backstage fight with Liam. Noel went on to form Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, while Liam started Beady Eye, and later pursued a solo career.

Oasis’s legacy remains strong, with their music continuing to influence modern rock and indie bands.

The summer of 2024 is almost over and we’re already looking forward to the huge concerts taking place next year. With some of the world’s most exciting stars set to perform in London, we’ve taken a look at the biggest concerts coming up in 2025.

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa has firmly established herself as one of the biggest stars in the world and she stole the show at Glastonbury earlier this year, headlining the prestigious Pyramid stage on the Friday night.

And if you weren’t able to see that iconic performance in the flesh, you’re in luck because she’s doing two dates at Wembley Stadium in London next summer, with a second show added due to overwhelming public demand.

This year, Dua Lipa released her highly anticipated third studio album, Radical Optimism, and is set to wow London audiences with top hits from the record, including fan favourites ‘Training Season’ and ‘Houdini’. It follows a highly successful tour of the album, which is set to continue with shows in America, Asia and a one-off special night at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

She’ll then be back in London in June with her headline Wembley shows, which you can enjoy from the best seats in the house with Engage’s exclusive hospitality packages.

The album’s lead track ‘Espresso’ is very much a fan favourite and her loyal followers in London will have the chance to hear it in person when she takes to the O2 stage in two shows next spring.

Glastonbury

It feels as though this year’s festival has only just finished but attention has already turned to next year’s Glastonbury. The 2024 edition saw iconic performances from the likes of Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA, and rumours have already begun circling about who will headline in a year’s time.

Taylor Swift has long been rumoured having previously been set to perform in 2020 before the festival was cancelled due to the pandemic. She’s enjoyed remarkable success in recent years and would undoubtedly draw record crowds if she were to grace the Pyramid Stage.

Meanwhile, the likes of Rihanna and Eminem have been reported, with both stars yet to perform at the festival. There has been plenty of talk regarding other huge acts, including Green Day, The Killers, Ed Sheeran and Olivia Rodrigo. However, for now the organisers remain tight-lipped and we’re unlikely to hear any confirmed news until later in the autumn.
