We’re well past the midway point of 2025, with the great Oasis reunion underway and Glastonbury Festival becoming more of a distant memory as it takes a fallow year in 2026.
But across Yorkshire, there are still plenty of incredible concerts to come before we wrap up another year and enter the Christmas season.
Be it Will Smith taking on Scarborough or a host of shows taking place at Leeds’ Millennium Square, we’ve taken a look at Ticketmaster to bring you 63 can’t-miss events that we’ve marked in our calendars. There’s also a little something for everyone; be it R&B with JLS or JADE, or seeing Queens of the Stone Age in Sheffield or Jools Holland in Sheffield and Leeds.
Here’s our pick of what’s still to come in the region before the end of the year – with tickets to many of them still available as of writing. But that may change very quickly as the dates draw nearer.
