This is happening: Oasis are indeed getting back together after 15 years of group separation and years of fan speculation.
Brothers Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher announced Tuesday that their band will embark on a reunion tour next year with 14 dates already confirmed.
“This is it, this is happening,” read a post on Oasis’ social media promoting Oasis Live ’25.
The “Wonderwall” and “Don't Look Back in Anger” musicians have seemingly resolved the bitter, acrimonious feud that led to their split in 2009. And they're reuniting in time for the 30th anniversary of Oasis' debut studio album, “Definitely Maybe.”
The reunited British rock group will play 14 shows in the UK and Ireland next year, the band announced. The Grammy-nominated group will play four shows in their hometown of Manchester and four at London's Wembley Stadium. They will kick off the tour in Cardiff, Wales, on July 4.
“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The long wait is over. Come and see it. It won’t be televised,” the band said on their website. They also said plans are afoot for Oasis Live ’25 to tour outside Europe later next year.
Tickets for the UK dates go on sale on Saturday and will be available from ticketmaster.co.uk, gigsandtours.com and seetickets.com. Tickets for Dublin will be available on Saturday from ticketmaster.ie
Over the weekend, frontman Liam Gallagher appeared to confirm reunion rumours on social media. Responding to a Sunday Times post reporting that the brothers and former bandmates had “resolved their differences” and would be returning to the stage as Oasis in London and Manchester next summer, he tweeted: “See you there.”
As Oasis, the brothers rose to prominence with their second album “(What's the Story) Morning Glory?” and are best known for the hits “Wonderwall,” “Don't Look Back in Anger,” “Stop Crying Your Heart Out” and “Champagne Supernova.” But their off-stage rivalry arguably attracted just as much attention.
They split professionally in 2009 and pursued solo projects. Meanwhile, many of their fans lost hope that they would reconcile and revive the group. While during that time the duo were commonly referred to as “former” bandmates, Liam said on Sunday in unknown that “he never liked that word EX”.
