- August 27, 2024
AceShowbiz - Hell has frozen over, and the iconic Britpop band Oasis, fronted by the famously feuding Gallagher brothers, Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher, are reuniting for a much-anticipated tour in 2025. For over a decade, fans have hoped for this day despite the constant media squabbles between the brothers. Now, it's official: Oasis is back.
The tour, titled "Oasis Live '25", was announced early on Tuesday, August 27, through the band's social media channels. "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised," read a statement from the band, encapsulating the excitement that has surrounded the news.
The "Live Forever" hitmakers will perform 14 dates across the British Isles, hitting stadiums in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin during July and August of 2025. Fans in the U.K. and Ireland will get the first glimpse of the reunion, with more shows outside Europe planned later next year.
Tickets for these highly sought-after shows will go on sale at 9 A.M. local time on Saturday, August 31, with details available on platforms such as Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours and See Tickets. For those planning to attend the Dublin concerts, tickets will be available from 8 A.M. local time the same day.
The reunion marks 16 years since Oasis split in 2009 after a notorious backstage bust-up in Paris. The tour also coincides with the 30th anniversary of their monumental album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?". However, the setlist for the 2025 shows will not solely focus on the celebrated album.
The lead-up to this announcement was filled with teasing tweets and speculation as Oasis hinted at the reunion during the 2024 Reading Festival, which they headlined back in 2000. The official announcement was foreshadowed by cryptic social media posts stating "27.08.24, 8am," leaving fans buzzing with anticipation.
Despite persistent rumors over the years, the reunion has now materialized, seemingly without a single dramatic catalyst but rather a gradual realization that the time was right. The band's official statement highlighted, "There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion - just the gradual realization that the time is right."
Both Gallagher brothers have achieved success in their solo endeavors since the band's split. Liam has performed with Beady Eye and released solo records, while Noel has been active with his band, High Flying Birds. Nonetheless, their combined legacy as Oasis continues to resonate, as evidenced by their 21.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
The reunion of the legendary band marks a historic moment for music lovers, showing that even the most tumultuous relationships can find harmony once more. Young fans of the Nineties Britpop era, mark your calendars for an unforgettable summer with Oasis in 2025.
