It’s no secret that the world of ticketing has changed a lot in the last few years. Prices for even the most basic tickets have risen astronomically, while increased demand for live music means that it’s harder than ever to get your hands on concert tickets.
One way to ensure you don’t miss out on the chance of seeing your favourite artists live is by opting for hospitality tickets. Not only do they include a range of benefits; they are also in less demand, meaning that you’re far more likely to actually ensure you’ll be there.
Hospitality retailer Seat Unique offers VIP ticket packages to a range of the biggest names coming to the UK this year. These tickets can include benefits, from VIP seating to food and drinks, and even entertainment after the concert. Not only will you get your hands on tickets to see your favourite artists, you’ll also take your concert experience to the next level.

Which artists still have tickets for 2025 UK tour dates?
Despite the recently skyrocketing demand for tickets, there are plenty of general access tickets remaining for artists touring the UK in 2025. All remaining tickets have been included alongside the artists in the list above.
It's no secret that the ticketing industry has changed greatly in the past few years, as demand for live shows has soared post-pandemic.
This means that nowadays it's often extremely difficult to get your hands on concert tickets for large venues like the O2, Wembley Stadium or the Eventim Apollo, especially if the artist is a household name.
As it becomes increasingly difficult to get tickets for tours and concerts, there is a major way to get around this: purchasing hospitality tickets.
Due to their increased price, hospitality tickets aren't an option for everyone. However, if you have the disposable income, you're more likely to get your hands on hospitality tickets rather than general access as there is lower demand.
Out of the artists listed above, those who have hospitality tickets still available are listed with ticketing sites like Seat Unique and Ticketmaster, where tickets are still available.
Who else is rumoured to tour the UK in 2025?
While nothing has been confirmed just yet, there are plenty of rumours circulating about who will be next to announce their UK tour dates.
Fresh off her residency in Munich, Adele has been mentioned in connection with Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, despite saying that she would be taking a step back from music for a while.
Meanwhile, Rihanna is rumoured to be headlining her own London Stadium residency, following in the footsteps of Beyoncé.
Additionally, Shakira has announced tour dates outside of Europe and the UK, for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour. We'll be spending 2025 awaiting further moves...
