No, it would appear that research undertaken by Betting Lounge has managed to capture what other musicians and bands people would like to see hit the road in some capacity in 2025. The results at times have been somewhat amusing - we’re still thinking how Nirvana could possibly tour without the use of holograms.

The study from Betting Lounge cross referenced Spotify data regarding listening and playlist additions alongside Google search data surrounding keywords “reunion” and “tour” to refine the top ten.

While the monthly listeners for some artists might overshadow others further up the list, the key metric is the search around the artists and, most importantly, the band must not have performed as a group for a number of years.

So while many might have searched for both Taylor Swift or Oasis tickets that far outranked the keywords for some of the artists on the list, owing that they are a band or musician who has performed recently, they’re also stricken from the record.

So according to the research - who do people want to see reform and tour alongside Oasis in 2025?

Second comes Fleetwood Mac, who have toured recently with Crowded House’s Neil Finn providing guitar work, but despite the loss of Christie McVie, searches around Fleetwood Mac totalled 148,500 per month.

Taking the final podium position is KISS, who have a monthly Spotify listenership of 14.1 million and search terms for both “reunion” and “tour” totalling 130,600. Could this interest in Gene Simmons and company provide a long-awaited reunion for the band who once were described as “never going disco?
