- With Oasis announcing more tour dates for their big 2025 reunion, the question remains - who’s next?
- Through cross examining Spotify data with Google Trends information, it would appear we’re due a big pop reunion.
- Here’s the 10 musical acts that people are hoping reunite in 2025 - both living and dead.
It’s not enough that Oasis are reforming for a series of shows in 2025, including the announcement this afternoon that the band are set for a series of North American shows.
No, it would appear that research undertaken by Betting Lounge has managed to capture what other musicians and bands people would like to see hit the road in some capacity in 2025. The results at times have been somewhat amusing - we’re still thinking how Nirvana could possibly tour without the use of holograms.

Hide AdThe study from Betting Lounge cross referenced Spotify data regarding listening and playlist additions alongside Google search data surrounding keywords “reunion” and “tour” to refine the top ten.
While the monthly listeners for some artists might overshadow others further up the list, the key metric is the search around the artists and, most importantly, the band must not have performed as a group for a number of years.
So while many might have searched for both Taylor Swift or Oasis tickets that far outranked the keywords for some of the artists on the list, owing that they are a band or musician who has performed recently, they’re also stricken from the record.
So according to the research - who do people want to see reform and tour alongside Oasis in 2025?
