Exciting news for Oasis fans as the band has announced three extra concert dates in the UK for their highly anticipated reunion tour next year. The decision to add these extra gigs was made in response to the “unprecedented demand” that followed the registration for a ticket pre-sale. The new dates include a show on 16 July at Heaton Park in Manchester, 30 July at Wembley in London, and 12 August at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.
Noel and Liam Gallagher officially confirmed the band’s reunion on a Tuesday morning, putting an end to weeks of speculation. This comeback comes 15 years after Noel’s departure from the band, which marked the end of Oasis, until now. The addition of these new gigs means that the band will be performing five shows in Wembley, five in Manchester, and three in Scotland. Just like the initial gigs, tickets for these new dates will go on sale this Saturday.
In anticipation of the reunion tour, the band announced that some lucky fans would have the opportunity to purchase tickets a day early through a pre-sale ballot. This announcement led to a surge of entries, with fans excited about the possibility of seeing Oasis live once again. However, some fans have raised concerns about the skyrocketing prices of hotels in the gig areas. One hotel chain in Manchester faced accusations of canceling pre-existing bookings and relisting the rooms at higher prices.
Media reports leading up to the reunion announcement suggested that Oasis would be playing a record-breaking 10 dates at Wembley and headlining Glastonbury. However, the band quickly put these rumors to rest by confirming that they would not be performing at Glastonbury in 2025 or any other festivals next year. The only way to catch their performance is through their Oasis Live ’25 World Tour.
After weeks of speculation, both Gallagher brothers took to their social media platforms to share the exciting news of their reunion. They expressed their excitement by saying, “This is it, this is happening.” The band’s initial statement read: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.” The announcement was celebrated by fans around the world, marking a significant moment in music history.
Fifteen years after their breakup, fans were delighted to see a picture of the Gallagher brothers together for the first time in years to commemorate the announcement. While it is unclear whether they had met prior to this photo, the significance of their reunion cannot be understated. Details about the reunion revealed that there was no specific moment that led to their decision but rather a gradual realization that the time was right. The 30th anniversary of Oasis’s debut album, Definitely Maybe, played a subconscious role in influencing their decision.
Although the band has confirmed plans for more dates outside of Europe, details about other musicians joining the tour or the release of new music remain unconfirmed. Fans are eagerly anticipating further announcements and the opportunity to witness Oasis live once again. The excitement surrounding the reunion tour is palpable, and fans are counting down the days until they can experience the magic of Oasis on stage.
