All the biggest and best UK gigs you need to know about this summer

Gig-goers are in for a treat this summer as some of the world's biggest stars head to the UK.

After endless lockdowns pressed pause on the live event industry, they're officially back in full swing, selling out stadiums like they never left – and they're thriving.

Stars such as Harry Styles, Guns & Roses, Bruce Springsteen, Arctic Monkeys and Beyonce, who is seemingly a huge fan of Nando's, plan to take over cities across the UK. People are so ecstatic that some diehard fans are even wearing nappies to not miss a minute of their favourite star's performance.
