The highly-anticipated reunion tour will see the band play gigs in the UK and Ireland
UDATED: 29 August, 2025
After looking back in anger for the last 15 years, Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher are finally burying the hatchet. Fans have been yearning for a reunion for years, but there seemed to be no reconciliation in site until a few days ago. A report from The Sunday Times claimed that industry insiders had revealed that Oasis were quietly planning a reunion tour for next year, including shows at Wembley Stadium in London and Heaton Park in Manchester, and possibly a coveted headlining slot at Glastonbury. When the article was shared on X (formerly Twitter), Liam began responding to fans. One fan replied to the article, saying that Heaton Park is a “terrible venue for concerts,” to which Liam replied, “See you down the front.” Another X user straight-up asked when the reunion tour dates would be announced, and Liam replied, “Next Friday.”
Over the weekend, Liam played a headlining set at Reading Festival on Sunday (25 August). In the morning before his set, he shared on X that he “never did like that word FORMER.” During the performance later that evening, Liam dedicated the Oasis track “Half the World Away” to his brother and former bandmate, Noel. Later on, he performed “Cigarettes & Alcohol” for people he said hate Oasis.
Liam has been touring this summer on his Definitely Maybe 30th Anniversary Tour, celebrating the milestone of the seminal Oasis debut album. At a recent show in Cardiff, Liam once again dedicated “Half the World Away” to his “little brother” who is “still playing hard to get.”
In a surprising interview last week with music journalist John Robb at Sifters Records in Manchester, Noel paid Liam a string of compliments. When talking about Liam’s performances on some of the biggest hits in the Oasis catalog, Noel stated, “It’s the delivery or the tone of his voice and the attitude. I don’t have the same attitude as him.”
He added jokingly that Liam’s voice is like “Ten shots of tequila on a Friday night,” while his is more like “half a Guinness on a Tuesday.”
Now, it appears that all was genuine, and the rumors are true. It was announced Tuesday that Oasis are officially reuniting for a global stadium tour next summer. The trek will see the newly reformed band playing gigs across the UK and Ireland beginning next July. More dates around the globe, including a run across North America, are set to be announced in the very near future.
Check out the full tour itinerary below.
Due to overwhelming demand for pre-sale tickets, three additional shows have been added in Manchester, London, and Edinburgh respectively.
“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” Oasis said in a statement.
Next year also marks the 30th anniversary of the band’s watershed album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? Released on October 2, 1995, the band’s sophomore studio album is widely regarded as one of the defining albums of the Britpop movement. It not only cemented the band’s place in rock history, but also became a global phenomenon, with its influence still resonating nearly three decades later.
The album produced several iconic singles that have become timeless alt-rock anthems. “Some Might Say” was released as the album’s lead single on April 24, 1995, this track became Oasis’s first UK number one hit. Its success set the stage for the album’s monumental impact. The album’s second single, “Roll with It,” became part of the famous “Battle of Britpop” against Blur’s “Country House.” Although it peaked at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, it played a crucial role in the media frenzy surrounding the Britpop rivalry.
Arguably Oasis’s most famous song, “Wonderwall” was released on October 30, 1995. It reached number 2 in the UK and became a top-ten hit in several countries, including the US, where it peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song’s acoustic-driven sound and heartfelt lyrics made it an instant classic and a staple of 90s rock. “Don’t Look Back in Anger” became Oasis’s second UK number one hit. Sung by Noel Gallagher, the song is renowned for its memorable chorus and reflective lyrics, becoming one of the band’s signature tracks.
Though not released as a single in the UK, “Champagne Supernova” was issued as a single in the United States and Australia in May 1996. Featuring guitar work by Paul Weller, the track is known for its psychedelic feel and epic length, closing the album on a high note. It became a fan favorite and reached number one on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart.
“(What’s the Story) Morning Glory? debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and remained there for ten consecutive weeks. It also saw considerable success in the United States, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and earning a quadruple platinum certification by the RIAA.
The album’s commercial success was not limited to the UK and US. It topped the charts in several countries, including Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, and charted within the top ten in numerous other territories. Its enduring popularity has seen it re-enter the charts multiple times over the years, particularly during anniversary reissues.
(What’s the Story) Morning Glory? is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with estimated global sales exceeding 22 million copies. In the UK alone, it has sold over 4.9 million copies, making it the fifth best-selling album in British history. Its impact was so profound that it was certified 15× platinum by the BPI in 2018.
The album’s success was driven by its widespread appeal, with tracks that resonated with a broad audience. Its blend of catchy melodies, relatable lyrics, and rock ‘n’ roll swagger captured the zeitgeist of the 1990s, helping to define an era.
(What’s the Story) Morning Glory? is often cited as one of the greatest albums of all time. It won the Best British Album at the 1996 BRIT Awards and has been included in numerous “greatest albums” lists over the years. The album’s influence can be seen in the works of countless bands that followed, and its tracks continue to be celebrated by new generations of music fans.
Oasis may have disbanded in 2009, but the legacy of (What’s the Story) Morning Glory” endures, serving as a testament to the band’s remarkable impact on music and culture.
Oasis are one of the most iconic rock bands to emerge from the United Kingdom, profoundly influencing the sound and culture of the 1990s and beyond. Formed in Manchester in 1991, the band was led by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, whose turbulent relationship would become as famous as their music.
Oasis originated from the band The Rain, which included members Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs (guitar), Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan (bass), and Tony McCarroll (drums). The addition of Liam Gallagher as lead singer and, later, his older brother Noel as lead guitarist and chief songwriter, solidified the lineup and marked the band’s transition into Oasis. The Gallaghers’ working-class background and brash confidence resonated with many in the UK, setting the stage for their rapid rise.
Oasis released their debut album, Definitely Maybe, in 1994. The album was an immediate success, becoming the fastest-selling debut album in UK history at the time. It included hits like “Supersonic,” “Live Forever,” and “Cigarettes & Alcohol,” which became anthems of the Britpop era, a movement Oasis came to define.
Their second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995), catapulted them to global fame. The album featured chart-topping singles such as “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and “Champagne Supernova.” Morning Glory became one of the best-selling albums of all time, particularly in the UK, where it was a cultural phenomenon. Oasis became synonymous with Britpop, often compared to The Beatles, a band they unabashedly admired and whose influence was evident in their music.
At the height of their success, Oasis played two nights at Knebworth in 1996, performing to over 250,000 people. This concert is often cited as one of the defining moments of 90s rock music, reflecting the band’s massive popularity.
Despite their success, tensions between the Gallagher brothers were well-documented and often played out in public. Their third album, Be Here Now (1997), was highly anticipated but received mixed reviews despite its initial commercial success. It was criticized for its excessive length and overproduction, marking the beginning of the band’s gradual decline.
The band’s lineup also began to change during this period. Tony McCarroll was replaced by Alan White on drums in 1995, and both Bonehead and Guigsy left the band in 1999, leading to a less stable lineup in the following years.
Oasis continued to release albums, including Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000), Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don’t Believe the Truth (2005), and Dig Out Your Soul (2008). While these albums had moments of success, particularly with singles like “The Hindu Times,” “Lyla,” and “The Importance of Being Idle,” they did not reach the heights of their earlier work. The band’s live performances remained popular, but the brothers’ feuds, often involving physical altercations and public insults, overshadowed their music.
The culmination of these tensions occurred in August 2009, when Noel Gallagher announced his departure from the band after a backstage brawl with Liam before their performance at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Noel stated that he could no longer work with his brother. Oasis was effectively disbanded, though Liam continued with the remaining members under the name Beady Eye until 2014.
After the break-up, both Gallagher brothers pursued solo careers. Noel Gallagher formed Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in 2010. His debut self-titled album was released in 2011 to critical acclaim, showcasing a more mature and experimental side of his songwriting. He continued to release successful albums, including Chasing Yesterday (2015), Who Built the Moon? (2017), and Council Skies (2023). Noel’s solo work has been praised for its lyrical depth and musical innovation, further establishing his legacy as one of Britain’s finest songwriters.
Liam Gallagher initially fronted Beady Eye, which released two albums, Different Gear, Still Speeding (2011) and BE (2013). However, the band failed to achieve the success Oasis had, and they disbanded in 2014. Liam launched a solo career in 2017 with the album As You Were, which was well-received and marked a return to form. His follow-up albums, Why Me? Why Not. (2019) and C’mon You Know (2022), continued his success, cementing his status as a prominent figure in British rock.
Oasis’ impact on music and popular culture is immense. They defined the Britpop era, influencing a generation of bands and becoming a symbol of 90s British culture. Their music remains popular, with songs like “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” considered timeless classics.
The Gallagher brothers’ infamous rivalry and the dramatic ups and downs of their relationship have also become a significant part of their legacy, often overshadowing their musical achievements. Despite the band’s acrimonious split, there remains a persistent hope among fans for a reunion, though both brothers have expressed ambivalence about such an event.
Oasis’ story is one of extraordinary success, personal turmoil, and lasting influence, securing their place as one of the most important and enduring bands in the history of rock music.
