A New Chapter for Oasis
After 15 years of acrimony and disunity, Oasis has confirmed that the band will reunite for a 14-date tour in the UK and Ireland in the summer of 2025. The tour, dubbed "Oasis Live 25," will feature the band’s original lineup, with dates scheduled from July 4 to August 15.
Ticket Information
Tickets for the tour will go on sale on Saturday, August 31, at 8 a.m. in Ireland and 9 a.m. in the UK. The full list of dates can be found below.
Why the Reunion?
In a joint statement, brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher expressed their excitement about the reunion, saying, "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised." The statement noted that there was no single "great revelatory moment" that led to the reunion, but rather a gradual realization that the time was right.
No New Music Ahead of the Tour
While the band will not be releasing new music ahead of the tour, they will be playing their iconic hits and fan favorites. The tour is billed as the "domestic leg" of Oasis Live 25, with plans to take the show to other continents outside of Europe later next year.
A Look Back at Oasis’ History
Oasis formed in 1991 and rose to fame with their debut album Definitely Maybe, released in 1994. The follow-up, What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, became a global phenomenon, featuring hits like "Wonderwall," "Don’t Look Back in Anger," and "Champagne Supernova." The band’s subsequent albums, Be Here Now (1997), Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000), Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don’t Believe the Truth (2005), and Dig Out Your Soul (2008), solidified their status as one of the most influential and successful rock bands of all time.
The Band’s Hiatus and Reunion Rumors
Oasis broke up in 2009 after tensions between the brothers reached an all-time high. In the years that followed, their public feud appeared to subside, and rumors of a reunion began to swirl. In 2023, Noel Gallagher told NME that a reunion was inevitable, but it would require all parties involved to "move on" and "get their own mental health." Liam Gallagher had expressed skepticism about a reunion in the past, but his son Gene, who has often been involved in his father’s social media activities, hinted that his dad might be open to the idea in an August interview.
