Oasis reunion is on, as British rock band announce 14-date tour in 2025

Oasis will play a total of 14 gigs in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin. The BBC reports there are plans are under way for Oasis to tour other continents outside of Europe later next year.

The British broadcaster quoted Oasis as saying of the tour: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”

A tour in 2025 will mark the 30th anniversary of the band’s second album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, which included the singles “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Wonderwall”.

Oasis split in 2009 after many years of infighting, with Noel Gallagher officially leaving the band just before a performance at a festival near Paris. Even before the dissolution, the brothers had long had an antagonistic relationship and reportedly did not speak to each other for years after the break-up.

“People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer,” Noel Gallagher, the band’s guitarist and songwriter, wrote in a statement at the time.

While the Gallagher brothers haven’t performed together since, both regularly perform Oasis songs at their solo gigs.

With the announcement, the Britpop progenitors ended a few days of fan speculation. A short video on the band’s social media accounts on August 25 had revealed the date “27.08.24,” and time “8 a.m.”, written in the same font as the well-known Oasis logo. The brothers shared the same to their individual accounts.
