It has been a bumper year for concerts in Scotland, with stars from Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo to bands such as the Foo Fighters and Girls Aloud all having played huge shows in the country.
While Swift’s three Eras Tour shows at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh were undoubtedly the biggest of 2024, a number of other artists also proved their popularity with huge volumes of ticket sales throughout the year.
With 2025 promising to be another exciting year for music fans in Scotland, ticketing marketplace Viagogo has instead taken a look back at which shows were most in demand by fans across the UK.
In Edinburgh, Taylor Swift was (unsurprisingly) the biggest ticket selling artist in 2024. Meanwhile, other acts among the ten best ticket selling artist of the year in Scotland’s capital include Liam Gallagher, Slipknot and pop sensation Chappell Roan.
Here are the biggest ticket selling artists among Edinburgh-based buyers in 2024, according to Viagogo’s data.
9. Slipknot
Slipknot fans in Scotland will very much be looking forward to seeing the band perform at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on December 15. Specifically they are the sixth most in demand act among Edinburgh ticket-buyers. | Getty Images
10. Liam Gallagher
Following Slipknot at number seven, and not including Oasis ticket sales, is Liam Gallagher. The Mancunian musician played two nights at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow in 2024, as well as headlining Trnsmt Festival. | Getty Images
11. Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan released her debut album in 2023, but it wasn’t until early 2024 that she exploded in popularity – after her cult following of fans had already sold out her small venue UK tour. Following the release of her single Good Luck, Babe! in April, Edinburgh fans were likely on the hunt to find any remaining tickets for her shows around the country, leaving her in joint eighth place. | Getty Images for MTV
12. Adele
Adele tickets were also highly in demand among Edinburgh fans, with the singer songwriter announcing that she would be taking a break from music following the final dates of her European tour earlier this year. | Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images f
