British rock band Oasis is reuniting after the group’s 15-year split and years of fan speculation.
Brothers Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher announced Tuesday that their band will set out on a reunion tour next year with 14 dates already planned.
The “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” musicians have apparently settled the bitter, barb-loaded feud that led to their disbanding in 2009. Despite the debacle, the band will get back together in time for the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ debut studio album, “Definitely Maybe.”
The reconstituted British rock back will play 14 shows in the U.K. and Ireland next year, according to the band’s announcement. The Grammy nominated act will play four dates in its native Manchester and four at London’s Wembley Stadium.
With Oasis kicking off the tour in Cardiff, Wales, on July 4, 2025 the band stated on its website that plans are underway for “Oasis Live ’25” to tour outside of Europe later next year.
“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” Oasis stated.
Tickets for the U.K. dates go on sale Aug. 31 and will be available from ticketmaster.co.uk, gigsandtours.com and seetickets.com.
Over the weekend, frontman Liam Gallagher appeared to confirm reunion rumors on social media. In response to a Sunday Times post reporting that the siblings and former bandmates had “settled their differences” and would return to the stage as Oasis in London and Manchester next summer, he tweeted, “See you down the front.”
As Oasis, the brothers broke through with their sophomore album “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” and are best known for the hit songs “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Stop Crying Your Heart Out” and “Champagne Supernova.” But their offstage rivalry arguably garnered just as much attention.
The duo split professionally in 2009 and pursued solo endeavors. Meanwhile, many of Oasis’s fans hoped that it would reconcile and revive the act. While the duo was commonly referred to as “former” bandmates during that time, Liam Gallagher said Sunday on X that he “never did like that word FORMER.”
