Live Music in Scotland: over 250 shows still to come in 2025 - from global superstars to homegrown heroes

With TRNSMT 2025 kicking off today at Glasgow Green, and the summer festival season drawing to a close by the end of August, now might be an ideal time to plan ahead and decide ‘what’s next’ when it comes to picking up tickets to your next show...

… and we’re not joking when we say there is plenty left to come to Scotland before the year comes to a close.

Be it huge global superstars performing at stadiums and arenas throughout the remaining months such as Oasis, Chappell Roan, and AC/DC, to homegrown heroes like Franz Ferdinand and Idlewild making the rounds, we’ve taken a look over at Ticketmaster, Bandsintown, and TicketWeb to bring you over 250 concerts across the region that might help fill out the rest of your 2025 diary.

Many shows still have tickets available – for now at least – and we’ve cast our net not just across Glasgow and Edinburgh but some noteworthy performances further afield.

So, with that in mind, what caught our eye when it comes to the hundreds of shows still to come to Scotland before the end of the year? Find out below!

What big concerts are still to come in Scotland before the end of 2025?
