Sales of rain macs and bucket hats just went up. Probably.
Yep, Oasis have actually confirmed they’re going to do a reunion tour – and the Gallagher brothers are reportedly set to earn a shedload for it.
After getting the rumour mill going with a song dedication at Reading Festival and then a mysterious image at the Blossoms’ Manchester gig and on social media.
Announcing several dates across the UK and Ireland next year, the band announced: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
Despite Liam and Noel’s famous feud splitting up the band almost 15 years ago, the brothers have seemingly put things aside enough to share the stage together.

It’s been reported that the brothers have been having some ‘late-night conversations’ and it allegedly led to Noel agreeing to reunite the band after being convinced by a £50 million initial payday.
A source told MailOnline: “Noel would only ever consider sharing the stage with Liam again if the money was astronomical and that’s what convinced him.
“They haven’t buried the hatchet and Noel will always have huge reservations about being in a band with Liam as he’s so unpredictable – both on and off stage.
“Certain conditions will have to be put in place in regards to safeguarding Noel’s presence in this comeback because he really can’t handle Liam’s form for being a liability.
“But the sums of money being offered will obviously help through any potential ordeals. It’s life changing cash – even for somebody already very rich.”
Well, if it does end up going ahead by the time we get to next summer, the lads are set to hit that ‘astronomical’ mark as music experts reckon it could gross a whopping £400 million.
Plus, there’s also rumours Oasis will take a headline slot at Glastonbury.
Although, that payday won’t be quite as sky high.

Fans pointed out that the tour dates announced ‘leaves a big gaping hole during Glastonbury week’.
The band last headlined Glastonbury in 2004, and since they’ve said their tour shows ‘will not be televised’, so them being on the Glasto broadcast would be the only way people not getting tickets could see them on the telly.
However, it’s probably best not to be relying on just that, as the Press Association understands that Oasis won’t be performing at the famous festival.
I mean, god knows how many thousands the pair will probably make from selling branded bucket hats alone.
Liam and Noel’s reps had no comment when approached by LADbible.

British music is set for a Biblical summer after Oasis confirmed their return following a long 15 years without the iconic rock band.
Noel and Liam Gallagher simultaneously announced the return of the Manchester band, with 14 stadium and field concerts announced across the UK and Ireland in 2025.
The two brothers have seemingly been at war ever since Noel quit the band in 2009, saying he could no longer work with Liam after the frontman reportedly swung a guitar that ‘nearly took Noel’s head off’ at the Rock en Seine Festival in Paris.
But after teasing the return of Oasis over the August bank holiday weekend, the rock ‘n’ roll stars confirmed they had reconciled as they announced on social media: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”

Where are Oasis playing and when will tickets be for sale?
So far, 14 dates have been announced for the Oasis reunion tour with rumour out there that more could be on the way, including a headline slot at Glastonbury.
But that seems to have been cooled by the band itself, which said: “These dates will be the bands exclusive European appearances.”
Eight concerts will take place in July 2025 and six in August 2025 across Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin.
The Cardiff gigs will take place at the Principality Stadium on 4 and 5 July, 2025 with the Manchester gigs taking place at Heaton Park on 11, 12, 19, and 20 July, 2025.

Oasis will then head to Wembley Stadium in London on 25 and 26 July as well as 2 and 3 August.
Two dates will be played at Edinburgh’s Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on 8 and 9 August, followed by two final concerts at Croke Park in Dublin on 16 and 17 August.
Tickets go on sale for the UK dates at 9.00am on Saturday, 31 August. Importantly for the concerts in Dublin, tickets will be available from 8.00am on the same day.
Is there an Oasis presale?
Oasis announced a presale will take place ahead of the general sale that takes place on Saturday.
Those wanting to try and secure tickets early will have to enter the presale ballot by 7pm on Wednesday (28 August) to get the chance to secure a spot in the ballot.
If you are successful, you’ll get an email confirming your presale code by Friday morning (30 August), with the presale taking place on Friday afternoon.
Access to the presale doesn’t guarantee tickets, the band has stressed.

When Liam Gallagher was performing ‘Half the World Away’ at Reading Festival last night (25 August) he told the crowd ‘I wanna dedicate this song to Noel Gallagher’.
It was the latest in a line of compliments the brothers have paid each other amidst reports that they’re getting the band back together.
Both Noel and Liam have teased the date ‘27.08.24’ on social media, and the same message appeared at the end of a Blossoms concert in Manchester.
Presumably that means something is happening tomorrow, one day before the date that would have marked 15 years since Oasis split up.
Reports claim that it’s going to be an Oasis reunion, with the band supposedly set to play at Wembley Stadium and Heaton Park next year.

According to The Sun, a ‘late night phone call’ between Noel and Liam had them ‘on the same page’ about bringing Oasis back, and if they do make that comeback, it’ll be welcomed by music fans across the country.
The band’s history is certainly a tumultuous one, with them splitting up in 2009 after it was announced that they wouldn’t be performing at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Throughout the lifespan of Oasis, there had been a number of incidents involving Noel and Liam, including the Wibbling Rivalry – an interview between the pair which ended up getting released on vinyl.
Someone even once auctioned off a cricket bat which they said Noel had used to hit Liam, and over the years there were lots of arguments.
In the months before the Rock en Seine festival on 28 August, 2009, Noel had called Liam ‘the angriest man you’ll ever meet’ and said that ‘life would be easier without Oasis’.
On 23 August of that year, the band dropped out of performing at V Festival as Liam was suffering from laryngitis, Noel would later claim it was actually due to a hangover and apologised for saying that after legal action from Liam.
“He’s got my number, he’s got my manager’s number. Call us,” said Noel Gallagher last year. (Gus Stewart/Redferns)
Five days later, the Rock en Seine festival was on and a backstage argument before Oasis was due to go out and perform meant the show did not go on.
A couple of hours later Noel released the following statement: “It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight.
“People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”
A couple of years later, he told Absolute Radio: “If I had my time again I would have gone back and done the gig.
“I’d have done that gig and I’d have done the next gig and we’d have all gone away and we could have probably discussed it. We may never have split up.”
Since then, both brothers pursued successful solo careers and there’s occasionally been talk of a reunion, with Liam tweeting ‘let’s get the big O back together’ in 2018.
At various times they’ve said a reunion is not happening or an offer to get the band back together has gone unanswered.

“The guns have fallen silent,” apparently anyway, as Oasis have confirmed a reunion tour.
Yep, Liam and Noel Gallagher have put their differences aside enough to announce a load of dates across the UK and Ireland next year.
It’s been nearly 15 years since Oasis split up, with the pair famously feuding ever since. So it’s fair to say fans were surprised to hear the brothers are actually going to share the stage again.
And at some point, before this morning’s (27 August) announcement, they secretly met in the same room to plot the comeback.
Liam and Noel have supposedly not spoken since the band split but miraculously seem to have buried the hatchet to some extent (even if it’s just a sprinkling rather than being six foot deep) as they were ‘laughing and joking’ at the photoshoot.

Fans thought the image that accompanied the big Oasis announcement wasn’t totally clear if the brothers had been photoshopped together or not.
But a source told the Daily Mirror: “I know it looks like it could be photoshopped but they were both there and they have met up. They were laughing and joking. It was great to see after all the years apart.”
And sources told The Sun that the atmosphere in the room was ‘electric’ after fans believed they’d never see them stood beside each other ever again.
“It was a pinch me moment to have Noel and Liam together. It has taken a lot to get them to this point but they’re thinking of the fans,” one said.
Apparently the atmosphere in the room ‘was fizzing’ at the ‘top secret’ photo shoot.

They added: “It is something so many people never thought would happen. But now the brakes have been taken off – and it’s going to be mad.”
Announcing the tour dates today, the band said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
It’s reported this long-awaited, almost unbelievable, reunion comes after some ‘late-night conversations’ between the brothers and Noel allegedly agreeing once he’d been convinced by a £50 million initial payday.
If the brothers do manage to keep up this ‘laughing and joking’ attitude with eachother, music experts reckon next year’s tour could gross a mega £400 million.
Plus, there’s some rumours Oasis will take one of the headline slots at Glastonbury with dates wide open for it to happen.

Fans will be able to buy tickets from 9am on Saturday 31st August from Ticketmaster, SEE Tickets and GIGSANDTOURS.

After about 15 years away, it looks like Noel and Liam Gallagher have managed to soothe their feud and get cracking with an Oasis reunion.
There were already some big clues pointing towards a comeback following various reports that the Gallagher brothers were putting the band back together.
And if you’re hoping for something a bit more official then the band have announced their reunion tour across the UK and Ireland for next year, with world tour dates set to come further down the line
Liam and Noel are on board with the tour, and have told their fans that tickets will go on sale at 9am on 31 August, or 8am if you’re buying in Ireland.
Oasis are really coming back, and their first reunion gig will be in Cardiff on 4 July next year.
The Sunday Times reported that Oasis were going to be getting back together and will play nights at Wembley Stadium as well as a number of gigs at Heaton Park in Manchester.
Not only are they doing that, with four dates at each venue, they’ve got two at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, two in Murrayfield in Edinburgh and another couple of dates in Dublin.
The Manchester Evening News reported that when tickets went on sale they’d be ‘priced over the £100 mark’, and you can bet there’ll be huge demand for it.
Given the reaction to all of those teasers about something happening with Oasis, people will be queueing round the door to pay that and see the band back on stage again.
Thanks to the band’s announcement there’ll be plenty of fans checking to see if their old Oasis t-shirt still fits them and loads are surely just waiting for 31 August when tickets go on sale with their fingers crossed that the website hasn’t crashed.

Oasis separated back in 2009 following a backstage spat between Noel and Liam at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
The band had been due to perform at set but the crowd was told that the show would not be going on, and shortly afterwards a statement from Noel was released.
He’d said: “It is with some sadness and great relief… I quit Oasis tonight.
“People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”
Both brothers continued with their music careers afterwards but Oasis fans always hoped they’d be able to patch things up and get back together.
“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” they have since said, so it seems as though their feud has been calmed and we’re going to be in for some amazing music as a result.
