Cardiff hotel bookings nearing 90% for Oasis Tour
Cardiff leads hotel bookings for Oasis Live '25 tour with 89% occupancy, as smaller markets see strong concert-driven demand spikes. ARLINGTON, VA. – With less than a month until the Oasis Live '25 tour kicks off, Cardiff shows the highest hotel booking levels at nearly 90%, according to CoStar's latest forward booking data. CoStar is a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, and analytics in the property markets. The European leg of the tour runs from early July through mid-August. As of 2 June, Cardiff was reporting its highest occupancy on the books for concerts on 4 July (89.0%) and 5 July (77.8%) at Principality Stadium. At the same time last year, Cardiff's levels for those nights were at 51.2% and 47.1%, respectively. Manchester's highest occupancy on the books is on 19 July (67.0%), while in Edinburgh and Dublin, booking levels have climbed as high as 73.6% (8 August) and 74.5% (16 August), respectively. 'Oasis will play to sold-out venues all around the world in the coming months, and the hotel industries in most of the host markets will see compression nights,' said Alexander Robinson, STR's regional director. 'In the smaller markets especially, levels are pacing well ahead of the comparable time last year. As we often see around major concert tours like this, those levels will continue to rise through the night of the shows. 'The only exception right now is London, but that's to be expected given the size of the market as well as booking trends for comparable events in the past. Even Taylor Swift's tour last year did not produce massive demand spikes in London compared with other smaller markets.'
