It’s hard to beat a bit of live music – whether its paying tribute to an icon, somebody in their prime or a band just starting out.
Hull and East Yorkshire has plenty of music venues to chose from, from the historic grassroots venue Adelphi to the A-list drawing Connexin Live stadium. All eyes were on Hull in 2024 after the city was just one of two UK tour dates for musical giants Coldplay in 2025, but they are not the only names performing in the city.
Here is a month by month rundown of hundreds of upcoming gigs and concerts happening in East Yorkshire in 2025 to look forward to.
