Though we may be at the tail end of 2025, that doesn’t mean that events are going to slow down suddenly before the festive period - far from it.
While there are a great many events set to take place in and around Leeds before the year comes to an end, we’ve picked out one of the shiniest beacons in the heart of the city, unmistakable to those around the West Yorkshire area - the First Direct Bank Arena.
Be it comedy from some of the maestros of the game, through to long-awaited reunion shows and a touch of kids’ entertainment to keep the young ones happy, we’ve pulled all the huge events that are to take place at the arena before the end of the year, with tickets still available for most of the shows through Ticketmaster.
So what’s left to come to the venue this year? Read on to find out!
