Whilst the ship has already sailed on tickets to Glastonbury, there are plenty of options open for festivalgoers in 2025, so here are my personal top 5 must-buy festival tickets that you should be saving up for.
Boomtown may be the most eye-catching of the UK festivals, with otherworldly set designs and lighting. The Hampshire festival will again highlight the absolute best drum and bass, house, techno and much more, but be aware, tickets are selling very quickly. With the Wednesday entry tickets coming in at £360, it is a pricey purchase, but the experience is once in a lifetime.
Standard tickets for this Glasgow-based festival are yet to go on sale, giving you plenty of time to prepare. TRNSMT often boasts fantastic lineups, and despite very little indication of next year's performers, it is safe to assume that there will be some must-see names yet again. Furthermore, with prices expected to be around the £300-mark, TRNSMT is not too pricey for a 3-day festival.
Much like TRSNMT, tickets for Creamfields are yet to go on general sale, so keep an eye out if you don’t want to miss out on one of the UK’s biggest dance music festivals. Whilst the lineup is yet to be announced, huge names such as Calvin Harris featured this year, so expect another star-studded lineup in Daresbury.
Whilst it is true Reading & Leeds may have one of the worst festival audiences, it continues to deliver with its stellar lineups. £325 for the weekend ticket is a lot of money, but this price is far from the worst value for money you’ll get for a UK festival, especially with rumoured performers such as Linkin Park, Central Cee and Chappell Roan.
2025 will see the inaugural Come Together Festival come as close to home as can be, with it taking place on Newcastle’s Town Moor, and it has been a long time coming. Headlined by Robbie Williams, with other star names such as the Kaiser Chiefs and Perrie already announced, this 1-day festival should definitely be on your radar.
