British rock band Oasis has announced their highly anticipated comeback in a reunion tour set for 2025, as confirmed by the band’s website.
Kicking off on July 4 at Cardiff Principality Stadium in Wales, Oasis will be playing a total of 14 dates across the UK.
In a heartfelt post on X, frontmen Noel and Liam Gallagher expressed their excitement, stating, “This is it, this is happening.”
Tickets for the tour will go on sale at 9 a.m. local time in the UK (4 a.m. ET) on Saturday, August 31.
The band revealed that there was no specific moment that sparked the reunion, but rather a gradual realization that the time was right. They also hinted at plans to expand the tour internationally next year.
The announcement comes just two days before the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ debut studio album “Definitely, Maybe,” which included hits like “Live Forever,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star,” and “Supersonic,” marking the beginning of their meteoric rise to fame.
Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, who have had a famously tumultuous relationship since the band disbanded in 2009, have previously discussed the possibility of a reunion.
Noel had mentioned in a 2023 interview that his brother would need to make the first move for a reunion to happen, willing to listen to Liam’s ideas.
Before Liam embarked on a UK-based “Definitely, Maybe” anniversary tour earlier this year, he revealed that Noel had turned down an offer for a reunion tour, despite it being a lucrative opportunity.
With the upcoming 30th anniversary of their iconic 1995 album “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” next year, Oasis fans have more to look forward to. This album, featuring hits like “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and “Champagne Supernova,” solidified Oasis’ status as one of the most beloved bands of their era.
Just one year after the release of “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?,” Oasis made history by drawing 250,000 concertgoers over two nights at the Knebworth Festival, showcasing their immense popularity.
Their latest studio album, “Dig Out Your Soul,” was released in 2008, before Noel’s departure from the band during a Paris gig in 2009, citing irreconcilable differences with Liam.
Both brothers went on to have successful solo careers, with Liam releasing three solo albums and Noel forming Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in 2010, releasing four studio albums.
Reflecting on Oasis’ legacy, Noel Gallagher acknowledged in the documentary “Oasis: Supersonic” that the relationship between him and Liam was both the band’s greatest strength and ultimate downfall.
