The highly anticipated reunion tour of Oasis, along with performances by other major artists like Coldplay and Beyoncé, has significantly boosted music tourism in the UK. A record 24.7 million "music tourists" attended concerts and festivals last year, marking a 4.8% increase from 2024.
This surge in visitors, including a notable rise in overseas attendees, has resulted in an unprecedented £11.2 billion in spending across the UK economy, according to a report from the industry body UK Music.
