Your support makes all the difference.Oasis have announced their long-awaited reunion tour, 15 years after the infamous backstage bust-up between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher.
The Manchester-formed group, one of the defining rock bands of the Nineties, split in 2009 after a fiery row in Paris and have not played together since.
In a highly anticipated message, the band announced a run of 14 shows in the UK and Ireland next summer.
“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” the band said.
The dates in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin will be Oasis’s “only shows in Europe next year”, it’s been confirmed. Find details on how to get tickets here.
There have been a number of hints in recent months, not least a surprise interview last week where Noel offered some rare praise of his younger brother. Both he and Liam have enjoyed successful solo careers since their split – Liam as a singer-songwriter and Noel with his band the High Flying Birds.

John Lennon once said The Beatles were “more popular than Jesus”. A controversial claim, perhaps, but can it really be true that the return of Oasis will be bigger than Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour mania? One music expert thinks so:
Oasis ticket demand will ‘absolutely dwarf’ that of Taylor Swift, says music expert
The demand for tickets to see the rumoured Oasis reunion will “absolutely dwarf” that seen for Taylor Swift’s tour, a music expert has said. Noel and Liam Gallagher seem poised to announce a shock, long-awaited reunion tour on Tuesday 27 August, 15 years after the notorious fallout between the two brothers put the band on hiatus. If they announce a comeback. former music journalist and DJ Kevin McManus believes the fight for seats will be bigger than what any artist has ever experienced. “Taylor Swift is obviously the big deal this summer, but I think it’s going to absolutely dwarf that,” he told ITV News.

Manchester promises ‘good party right across the city’ to celebrate Oasis reunion
Bev Craig, leader of Manchester City Council, who represents the Burnage ward, where the brothers grew up, said the news of the band’s reunion was “massive”.
She told the PA news agency: “I think Oasis is one of Manchester’s most iconic bands in the modern age, and obviously we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make sure that this could come off, and that they’d be able to play in Manchester in a fantastic homecoming gig.
“And I think it’s just really, really great. It’s great for the city, the city’s changed a lot since Oasis were last together, hopefully significantly for the better on the world stage, but we’ll still be really happy to be host to the two Burnage boys as they reunite and come together in (council-run) Heaton Park.”
She added: “I think the whole city will be excited next summer, and I think we’ll no doubt see lots of events and activities that will sit alongside this and really, I think, celebrate it for the moment that it is.
“So I think we’ll make sure that we put on a good party right across the city for people to enjoy.”
Fans concerned about Oasis ticket prices and whether reconciliation will last
Glaswegian David Walker, a leading member of the Oasis Collectors Group, told the PA news agency that he also remains worried about if Liam and Noel Gallagher will make it through their tour without another bust-up.
He said: “You wonder if they’ll make it through the tour, how are they going to rehearse? There’s been so many little infractions with them, you wonder, like, is the old stuff going to come up again?
“But no, ultimately, right now, very positive and yeah, it’s what the people want. It’s what, arguably, Britain might want right now, because, everyone’s fairly depressed and don’t have a lot of money.
“As long as the tickets are, you know, reasonably priced, I suppose, which they probably won’t be, because there’ll be so much demand, there’s talk of like, 10 nights at London, which that might only be the tip of the iceberg. There might even be more than that.”
