British rock legends Oasis announced on Tuesday, August 27, that they will reunite for a worldwide tour as brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher end their infamous 15-year feud. The band behind hits including ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ and ‘Champagne Supernova’ will play an initial 14 gigs in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and the Irish capital Dublin in July next year.

They also plan to perform in “continents outside of Europe” late next year, according to a statement posted on Oasis’ website. The reunion tour by Oasis, who formed in Manchester, northwest England, in 1991 and are credited with helping create that decade’s Britpop era, will be the Gallagher brothers’ first performance together since 2009, when they split up.

Oasis announced the reunion with the first details of the tour, saying “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see it. It won’t be televised.” The announcement ended days of hints and speculation that the band were ready to play again.

However, no announcements have been made regarding the release of any new music, while Oasis will reportedly not perform at next year’s Glastonbury Festival despite widespread speculation.

“Oasis have today confirmed the long-awaited shows in the UK and Ireland as the domestic part of their Oasis Live ’25 world tour, ending years of speculation,” the online statement said.

The tour will begin on 4 July 2025 at the Principality Stadium in the Welsh capital Cardiff for two nights, followed a week later by four shows at Heaton Park in his hometown of Manchester.

Oasis will next play at Wembley Stadium in London – on July 25 and 26 and August 2 and 3 – followed by two nights at Murrayfield Stadium in the Scottish capital, Edinburgh.

The new tour will be Oasis’ first gigs since 2009, when the Gallagher brothers had a falling out. The U.K. and Ireland gigs will conclude with two performances at Dublin’s Croke Park in mid-August. “Their only shows in Europe next year, these will be one of the biggest live moments and hottest tickets of the decade,” the statement said.

The press release stated that “there was no big revelation that prompted the reunion – just a gradual realisation that the time was right”. It promised “a set full of wall-to-wall classics”, praising the “charisma, spark and intensity that only comes when Liam and Noel Gallagher are on stage together”.

Tickets for the U.K. dates go on sale from 9:00 a.m. (0800 GMT) on Saturday, while tickets for Dublin will be available from 8 a.m. (0700 GMT) the same day. The news sparked a buzz on social media, with the band’s post garnering millions of likes and fans sharing their excitement.

Manchester teaching assistant Michelle Lock, 45, told AFP she was “very excited” after hearing the “good news”. “We’ll be up early in the morning… trying to get tickets,” she said as she posed in front of a mural for the Gallaghers in south Manchester. Others in Camden, a north London area famous for live music and where Oasis was a hit in the mid-90s, were equally excited.

Pauline Weir, 50, manager of the Modfather clothing store, said: “It’s the best news in the world … we need it!” Oasis has long been synonymous with Britpop music during its fierce rivalry with London band Blur, co-founded by Damon Albarn.

The Manchester band were notorious for public feuds between brothers Liam and Noel. Tensions between the siblings reached a boiling point during a fight at the 2009 Paris festival, when Liam broke one of Noel’s guitars. The brothers have not played together since — but the two still regularly perform the band’s hits to packed crowds.

So far, they have only publicly communicated by taking digs at each other on social media. The brothers have previously talked about reconciliation, with Noel saying last year that “never say never”.

The hints recently became even stronger, when the brothers and Oasis’ social media accounts followed Tuesday’s much-anticipated announcement. It’s now confirmed that the reunion will take place 30 years after Oasis’ 1995 album “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?” received international critical and commercial acclaim.

Meanwhile, Britain’s Press Association (PA) news agency reported that tracks from the first recording sessions for its debut album “Definitely Maybe”, released a year ago, will be released on Friday, a day after its 30th birthday.
