"The time is right': Gallagher brothers to reunite for Oasis tour next year
The Guardian
|August 28, 2024
Rock's biggest will-they-won't-they finally has an answer: Oasis have announced that they will reunite for a 14-date tour of the UK and Ireland in 2025.
They will not, however, be headlining the Glastonbury festival as was rumoured over the weekend, nor playing 10 dates at both Wembley and the Etihad Stadium.
Instead, the concerts will take place next July and August, at stadiums in Cardiff, London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin. Tickets go on sale at 9am this Saturday, with prices to be revealed on the day.
A press release billed the dates as the "domestic leg" of the tour and said "plans are under way" for it to go beyond Europe later in 2025.
The band split in 2009 after years of feuds between the Gallagher brothers-songwriter Noel and singer Liam, the younger of the two.
Of the decision to reunite, the release stated: "There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion - just the gradual realisation that the time is right." In a joint statement, the band said: "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over.
