Get your diaries and planners at the ready as there’s lots of big gigs, festivals and events to look forward to in Yorkshire in 2025.


As is tradition, we’ve been hard at work putting together a pretty packed list of many of the massive events which have caught our eye. Whether it is big stadium shows, touring West End


theatre productions or superstar festivals - we have you covered.


You can buy tickets for the vast majority of the events listed above by visiting Ticketmaster. ATG is a good place to source theatre tickets and you can also try the websites of the


respective venues.


Next year, highlights will include Leeds Festival and Sheffield’s Tramlines Festival. As well as the return of the fun at Scarborough Open Air Theatre and Halifax Piece Hall. There's


also the small matter of Bradford enjoying City of Culture status with lots of treats planned.


While some of the big theatre productions include visits from Only Fools and Horses - The Musical, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Six, Dear Evan Hansen and more. Take a scroll and see


what takes your fancy.


Don’t forget to visit our What’s On homepage throughout 2025 for the latest announcements.
