Looking for your next live music fix in the capital city? These are the best upcoming concerts in London this year.

The Big Smoke is known globally for its live music scene. London has provided venues for (at the time) new artists to hone their talent, such as Amy Winehouse at KOKO in Camden, the Toby Jug pub in Tolworth, which saw David Bowie's first performance as Ziggy Stardust, and The Jam at the Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park.

London also has some of the biggest venues in the UK which global artists visit when they embark on their world tours. For example, Beyoncé came to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Billie Eilish came to The O2, and Oasis are about to perform again at Wembley Stadium.

At RadioTimes.com, we're in the business of making sure you don't miss out on experiences – like telling you how to see the best West End shows, such as Evita, before they disappear from the stage – and live music events are no different.

Katy Perry's The Lifetimes Tour has produced more viral moments on social media than we've seen in a long time, such as her props malfunctioning, interesting choreography and fighting a puppet on stage, and this has absolutely made us even more excited to see the singer live in concert! The American singer-songwriter has an impressive catalogue of music, including hits like Hot 'N' Cold, Roar, Teenage Dream, and I Kissed A Girl, and if you'd like to hear her hits live in London, here's how to get tickets today.

Wolf Alice

Ellie Rowsell and Joff Oddie of Wolf Alice perform on the Pyramid Stage during day three of Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 24, 2022 in Glastonbury, England. The 50th anniversary of Glastonbury’s inaugural event in 1970 was postponed twice after two cancelled events, in 2020 and 2021, due to the Covid pandemic. The festival, founded by farmer Michael Eavis, is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world.

  • London dates: 2nd and 3rd Dec

One of our favourite bands is touring later this year, and we couldn't be happier about it. This Digital Writer has seen Wolf Alice four times (and counting), the first being when they supported Swim Deep at Rescue Rooms (what a throwback!). The Silk singers are coming to The O2 in London this December for two nights only, and tickets are luckily still available at Ticketmaster.

Lady Gaga

If we weren't already excited to see Lady Gaga on her Mayhem Ball tour, witnessing Mayhem on the Beach via our smartphones certainly did! The Mayhem on the Beach show in Rio de Janeiro broke the record for the highest attended concert by a female artist, further solidifying Lady Gaga as the pop powerhouse she is.

The Just Dance singer will be touring the UK from next month, with four shows confirmed at London's The O2.

Lewis Capaldi

In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover.

After a well-deserved two-year break, Lewis Capaldi is back with a UK tour, which includes three nights at London's The O2. If Capaldi's surprise performance at this year's Glastonbury festival is anything to go by, his London shows won't leave a dry eye in the house as he performs his biggest hits such as Survive and Someone You Loved.

Which artists still have tickets for 2025 London concerts?

It's no secret that demand for live music shows has skyrocketed massively in the last few years. A lot of this is down to the COVID pandemic, with live music fans eager to get back into the music world after spending at least two years away from it.

This means that tickets sell out a lot quicker than they did pre-2020, especially if it's for a household name like Lady Gaga at popular venues like The O2.

There is a solution to beat the Ticketmaster queue and secure concert tickets: hospitality packages. In our 'Are hospitality tickets worth it?' guide, we write about how much easier it is to secure tickets for big-name artists as there is little to no queue, and you get a more special experience when you're there.

However, we appreciate that not everyone has the disposable income to spend on VIP packages – that's why we've included both Ticketmaster and Seat Unique links where tickets are still available.
