Oasis have ended years of feverish speculation with the confirmation of a long-awaited run of UK and Ireland shows, forming the domestic leg of their OASIS LIVE 25 world tour.
The band will hit Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh’s Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin’s Croke Park in the summer of 2025.
Ticketholders can expect a set full of wall-to-wall classics and the crowd singing back every word – and of course, the charisma and intensity that only comes when Burnage brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher are on-stage together.
The brothers have flourished with their own projects since the band split in 2009, with ten UK number one albums between them as well as countless festival headline sets and stadium and arena shows.
There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion – just the gradual realisation that the time is right.
This Thursday represents thirty years to the day since their electrifying debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’ was released, while 2025 will see the equally essential second record ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ reach that same anniversary.
Oasis said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see.
It will not be televised.”
Plans are underway for OASIS LIVE ’25 to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year.
The classics that Liam and Noel have played in their solo shows have inspired phenomenal public demand for the band to make a long-awaited return, while the ‘Knebworth 1996’ film provided a taste of their exhilarating live performances to a whole new generation.
They remain a huge draw in the streaming era, with 21.5 million monthly listeners at Spotify alone and a total of 12 billion streams to date. This Friday will also see the release of the Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition of ‘Definitely Maybe’, which is available to pre-order here.
Tickets for the UK dates go on sale from 9am on Saturday, August 31, available at:www.ticketmaster.co.uk, www.gigsandtours.com and www.seetickets.com.
