The legendary Britpop band will reform with a string of shows across the UK in 2025, after making a reunion announcement on Tuesday morning.
Liam and Noel Gallagher will reunite for Oasis’s long-awaited reunion with a worldwide tour in 2025, beginning in Cardiff, the band said.
The legendary Britpop outfit will play a series of shows in July and August 2025 in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
The band’s long-awaited reunion comes almost 15 years to the day since Liam reportedly threw a plum – followed by a guitar – at Noel, prompting the band’s break-up, shortly before a Paris show in 2009.
But the announcement on Tuesday morning will see the brothers take to the stage again next summer, with millions of fans now desperate to get their hands on tickets.
Reunion rumours had intensified recently amid an apparent thawing in the feud between the pair.
They escalated further on Sunday evening after the pair shared the same video on social media, written in the Oasis style, teasing an announcement on Tuesday at 8am.
A report in The Sunday Times also cited industry insiders who claimed the brothers were set to perform a string of gigs next year, including shows at London’s Wembley Stadium and Manchester’s Heaton Park.
Noel once said 2009 break-up cemented Oasis’s legacy
Speaking in 2021 on Sky Arts programme Noel Gallagher: Out Of The Now, the guitarist once admitted he felt the band’s bitter 2009 break-up helped cement its legacy as one of the greatest British bands of all time.
“I’d written every meaningful song that was ever recorded by Oasis. And it was my life, I directed it and creatively it was my thing. With the benefit of hindsight it was the best thing for me and for the band.
“Because the band now… Oasis back in 2009 were not lauded as one of the greats of all time. There was a kind of undercurrent of: ‘Well, they should really call it a day.’ That’s what I felt anyway.
“I felt that people had stopped listening to the records and were coming to see us trot out the hits, and it’s a position I never wanted the band to be in. But now, of course, we’re seen as up there with all the greats.”
