Oasis to Limp Bizkit: Biggest gigs in August and how to buy tickets for them now
August is the beginning of the end for summer 2025. And while we have enjoyed a huge amount of incredible music this year, we're beginning to wind down into the colder months of solo headline tours and album releases.
With that said, we're not down and out just yet. Over the next few weeks, British music fans still have a plethora of massive artists performing around the country.
From Oasis and Coldplay to Chappell Roan and Shawn Mendes... there's a huge array of tastes and styles. And that's before you look closely at festival line-ups.
Below, we've listed the biggest and best names and festivals with concerts and shows across the UK this August. Tickets are still available from either resale website viagogo or retailer Ticketmaster - both of which are linked below.
viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
Oasis
Oasis are very much the talk of the town, at the moment - and with good reason. The Gallagher brothers have reunited to play some of the biggest shows of their career, and they have some gigs this month in Scotland - over the next week - to continue their Oasis Live '25 tour.
Tickets for these are readily available on resale website viagogo, while Ticketmaster has had some tickets come and go over the past few weeks. Here's the links:
Coldplay
After months of anticipation, Coldplay will be bringing their Music of the Spheres tour to the UK this month. And once they arrive, they'll be playing 12 shows across the country.
With two shows in Hull and ten in London, there are plenty of opportunities for fans to get involved with the band's iconic live sound. Be warned, however: the Jumbotron kiss-cam will be making an appearance, as well. So if you've got something to hide, maybe grab the cheap seats at the back.
Blackpink
The monumental pop band who previously took hold of BST Hyde Park are back - and this time, for some shows that are bigger than ever. On August 15 and 16, Blackpink will be residing over Wembley Stadium for two enormous shows.
Tickets for these are available right now with plenty of options left. And, what's more, they're cheaper than ever, with some tickets dropping to around £90 each.

TICKETMASTER - Buy Blackpink tickets here.

Shawn Mendes
Shawn Mendes' tour has sprawled the entirety of the world. And the final stop on his journey is in the UK.
Mendes is an artist who likes to do things well, and because of that, he's only playing one show in Great Britain this year, and it's at London's O2 Arena. Thankfully, there are tickets floating about - but act fast if you're keen.
Reading & Leeds Festival
Finally, as summer begins to wane, there are precious few festival experiences left in this year. Reading & Leeds festival 2025 will cap off August, taking over the bank holiday, with some massive artists on the docket.
From Bring Me The Horizon and Chappell Roan to Limp Bizkit and Hozier - this is a hugely varied line-up with some massive names. Tickets are still available with some exclusions, so be quick if you want to attend.

Coronation Street to welcome new family who will run Rovers Return
Catherine Tyldesley's character Eva Price, who was last seen on the show in 2018, will return alongside her latest partner and his mother, who are both new to the cobbles. Shameless actor Aaron McCusker stars as Eva's partner Ben Driscoll, with Father Ted's Pauline McLynn playing his interfering mother Maggie. Ben's two sons and Eva's daughter Suzie will also be joining the cast. Residents will discover that Eva and Ben are the new landlords in October, more than seven years after Eva stopped pulling pints to start a new life in France with her daughter. Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks said: 'We are beyond thrilled that Eva is returning as the landlady of the Rovers, with her new blended family in tow. 'The Driscolls do not arrive quietly, so expect big drama, explosive secrets and raucous knees ups galore. To have actors of Catherine, Aaron and Pauline's considerable calibre at the beating heart of this family is absolutely wonderful, and we can't wait for you to get to know and fall in love with them as much as we have already done. 'Strap yourselves in, it's going to be an exciting and eventful ride.' A host of stars have left the British soap this year including Sue Cleaver, who spent 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw. Among the others who have left are Colson Smith, who played Craig Tinker on the ITV soap opera, and Luca Toolan, who played Mason Radcliffe.

'We welcomed incredible crowds to Llanelwedd, with perfect conditions setting the stage for what has been a truly memorable show. 'The standard of livestock exhibits was exceptional and it was fantastic to see new additions like the Heavy Horse Village proving so popular with visitors. 'Thousands of families joined us and it was especially encouraging to see so many young people enjoying the show – the zip wire at the Armed Forces stand was a real draw all week. 'We also saw a brilliant response on our social media platforms, with our video of the Welsh national anthem at Moliant y Maes reaching over 250,000 views. Our sincere thanks go to Caernarfon, this year's feature county, and to all our loyal supporters who make this show so special year after year.' The show was officially opened by broadcaster and journalist, Dei Tomos, in a ceremony that reflected the deep-rooted traditions of Welsh farming and culture. Later, The Princess Royal attended the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth's annual meeting, held at the showground, before meeting show exhibitors and volunteers, and witnessing the variety of competitions.

'While we were disappointed that some of our regular livestock exhibitors from England and Scotland were unable to join us this year, I'm incredibly proud of how our Welsh farming community stepped up to the challenge,' he said. 'The quality of livestock on display was exceptional, with Welsh exhibitors providing strong, competitive classes that truly showcased the excellence of Welsh breeding and husbandry. This demonstrates the resilience and quality that defines Welsh agriculture.'
