Live podcast tours are still all the rage, here's 12 you can see in the UK in 2025
Listen up! You can actually see your favourite podcasts being recorded live in 2025, so we've assembled a list of the best.
While podcasts certainly had their heyday in the wake of COVID-19, there's no doubt we're still living in a golden era for the new media.
Every comedian, influencer, actor and passionate person seems to have a podcast these days, using either their own lives, their specialist subject, or a winning show formula to hook in listeners.
In fact, it's reported that Spotify holds around five million podcasts, while Apple's own podcast platform has roughly 2.69million, but of course, only a few can rise to the top.
The very best tend to then go on live tours, bringing in real audiences to listen to their laughs and lamentations in person.
So, with that in mind, who is going on tour this year? Below we've assembled a list of the best live podcasts you can see in the UK and Ireland in 2025.
Top choices include Off Menu, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby and Two Pints, but whether you're a fan of celebrity gossip, history or heartbreak, here's the best live shows to see.
