Already in 2025 Scotland has played host to stars from Sabrina Carpenter to Robbie Williams, with plenty more massive concerts still to come.
Set to play some of the biggest shows of the year in August, Oasis have a three night stint at Murrayfield in Edinburgh lined up. Classic rock legends AC/DC will also play the venue later that same month, with Sam Fender and Chappell Roan scheduled for the Royal Highland Showground shortly after.
And that’s without mentioning the many, many top acts set to perform at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow throughout the remainder of the year, from Billie Eilish in July to Amy Macdonald in December.
And then there are acts like Kneecap who, while playing a smaller venue, are still set to make their impact as one of the most talked about Scottish shows in 2025 after being axed from the TRNSMT line-up.
With so many concerts still on the horizon, here are all of the biggest gigs coming to Scotland in 2025.
