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.

Oasis are reforming and the signs are everywhere that it’s a return to 1997 all over again
Richard Benson writes:
People in the UK – not just London – had already felt something interesting was happening in the culture, you could tell that from the way newspapers and TV bulletins had begun covering fashion, house clubs and indie music. But up to that point, it had all been very instinctive and hedonistic. Once you knew serious-minded people overseas were studying it all, you wondered if it might, in the words of Jarvis Cocker, not just be 20,000 people standing in a field, but also about what The Future was meant to feel.

Oasis appear to address Glastonbury rumours in reunion announcement
Oasis has appeared to address Glastonbury rumours while announcing the band will embark on a reunion tour, 15 years after splitting up.
Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have buried the hatchet after an infamous backstage bust-up ahead of a 2009 festival date in Paris. Over the last 15 years, the pair have repeatedly fielded – and fuelled – reports of a reunion, and will now perform together for a run of 14 shows in the UK and Ireland next summer.
Music lovers are now speculating Oasis will headline Glastonbury due to the fact their confirmed tour dates arrive just after Glastonbury is due to take place, from 25 to 29 June 2025.
However, as “Glastonbury” became the top trend on social media in the UK in the wake of the band’s official announcement, Oasis’s post was updated to include the sentence: “These dates will be the bands exclusive European appearances”
This appears to shut down suggestion that Oasis will kick off their reunion tour with a Glastonbury headline slot.

Maybe, Definitely! Oasis reunion confirmed as Liam and Noel Gallagher mend rift 15 years after fallout
Stop crying your heart out, Oasis fans. The rock band have announced their long-awaited reunion and, with it, their first UK and Ireland shows in 16 years.
After more than a decade of rumours, brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have (seemingly) healed their longstanding rift and will join one another onstage for the Oasis Live 25 tour, where they will play a string of stadium shows in Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin across summer 2025.
“I never did like that word FORMER,” Liam, 51, had teased of his frontman status just hours earlier, while responding to fans pleading with him to confirm the news.
The tour will include four nights at Heaton Park in Manchester, the band’s hometown, between 11 to 20 July, along with four shows at Wembley Stadium in London from 25 July to 3 August. Gaps in the band’s touring schedule suggest that further shows could be added at a later date.
Their reunion announcement comes right before the 30-year anniversary of Definitely Maybe, the band’s record-breaking debut that includes hits “Supersonic”, “Shakermaker” and “Live Forever”. Next year, meanwhile, will mark the 30th anniversary of their second album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, one of the biggest-selling LPs by a British act of all time.
