Unlike the Grammys and Oscars and the Teen Choice Awards, when we list top setlists, it's not because of personal tastes, otherwise Mac Sabbath would rank extremely high.
No one can lobby to get nominated here.
It is very simple: the most amount of clicks gets you on the list.
So here, in reverse order, are the Top 14 most popular setlists of 2025.
14. Kendrick Lamar and SZA, April 19

When Kendrick and SZA kicked off their Grand National Tour in April, they played so many songs we needed a graphics program to display them in one image.
The 50,000 fans at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis soaked in a total of 52 jams, including 9 live debuts, over 9 acts.
So yes, it was a lot more than "Not Like Us."

13. Nine Inch Nails, June 15

In June, Trent Reznor and the lads performed their first show in Ireland since 2009 to kick off the Peel It Back World Tour
In the fourth act the singer announced, "We're going to play an increasingly relevant song," before breaking into "I'm Afraid of Americans," a tune he remixed for David Bowie in 1997 which was later released as a single.
As most opening nights go, there were a few hiccups, which were heard by very few. But Reznor not only heard them but called one out, refreshingly.
“It’s not a well‑oiled machine, it’s five guys trying to keep their shit together up here," he joked.

11. Lana Del Rey, June 23

Lana Del Rey may not perform a lot, but when she does, sometimes it gets emotional for not just her fans, but for her as well.
During the first gig of her six date UK and Ireland Tour, she got a little misty eyed. "They're good tears," she told the crowd of the Principality Stadium in Cardiff Wales.
At one point during "Stars Fell on Alabama," she cutely walked off stage to kiss her husband, which may have been the most adorable thing at a show this year.
8-10, Dead and Company, Aug 1-3

Over 180,000 tickets were sold for the three night run Dead & Co., performed at the beginning of August at Golden Gate Park for their 60th anniversary.
Street lights from the North Beach to the Sunset, from the Castro to Pac Heights proudly flew banners celebrating the long strange trip of the band that refuses to fade away.
Needless to say Bobby Weir, John Mayer et al got rave reviews by both the critics and the fans who took in Dead classics, covers, and special guests.
How special was the weekend? Sunday's grand finale had The Trey Anastasio Band open, a group that rarely opens for anyone.
7. Black Sabbath, July 5

It was just four songs but it meant everything as it was the last time Ozzy performed with the inventors of heavy metal, Black Sabbath, his old chums.
The tribute concert to honor the lovable singer sold out in just 16 minutes and went on for 10 hours as the likes of Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Tool and others paid their respects to Ozzy before he closed out the night with Tony, Geezer, and Bill.
Arguably the most important and most emotional concert of the year.
6. My Chemical Romance, June 11

My Chemical Romance had a lot of fun during the Long Live The Black Parade Tour which kicked off on July 11 in Seattle.
Not only did they perform The Black Parade album all the way through each night to honor its 20th anniversary, but they had special guests appear throughout the journey including Billy Corgan who arrived at their Chicago gig.
If you missed it, you'll have a second chance beginning next August when they return to North American by rocking NYC, Detroit, Denver, San Diego, and then doing multiple nights at the Hollywood Bowl including one on Halloween. Get tix here.
5. Bruce Springsteen, May 14

Bruce hadn't been to Manchester in a little while, and anyone who has seen him live knows he can be a wee bit chatty if something is on his mind. Even if the subject is of a touchy topic.
The 75-year-old had no problem getting into it which made headlines around the globe.
"The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll in dangerous times," he told the crowd of the first night of his sold out Land of Hopes and Dreams Tour.
"In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring," he said.
4. Lady Gaga, April 11

Of all the most popular setlists of 2025, only one came from Coachella: Mother Monster's from Weekend One.
And for good reason. Despite being an eye-opening theatrical gothic spectacle showcasing her latest album, Mayhem, she also live debuted a half dozen tracks.
Afterwards she did the most relatable thing: grabbed a double double at In N Out.
3. Iron Maiden, May 27

Every year there's a surprise to the Top 10 list. A band that received nominal press, didn't have any tabloid cover drama, and yet cracked the list when no one was looking.
Last year when Dream Theater made it to #4 it left some scratching their head. This year Bruce Dickinson and Eddie appeared at #3 with little fanfare, just a boatload of loyal fans who were curious what the Run For Your Lives Tour setlist would be.
It was such a delightful set that as each tune was performed at the tour kickoff in Hungary, the band's social media team tweeted out the songs one by one.
A habit we hope catches on.
Beginning in May the band gets back on the road on a World Tour that will run through October. Nab your tix on their website.
1 & 2. Oasis, July 4

It was no shocker that the most anticipated reunion tour of the year would also yield the most clicked setlists.
Fans called the shows of the Oasis Live '25 Tour transcendent, bucket list, and life changing. It had been 16 years of either one Gallagher brother or the other playing "Wonderwall" but on the fourth of July in Wales they did it together.
With so much negativity going on in the world, the fact that they feuding siblings reunited and then completed the whole tour without even the hint of discord, warmed the hearts of music fans everywhere.
There's hope for all of us. And for everything.
