In a move that has electrified the music world, Oasis, the iconic British band that defined an era of rock and roll, has officially announced a reunion tour for 2025. The news comes after years of speculation and hope from fans, marking the first time since 2009 that the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, will perform together on stage.
The Return of a Britpop Legend
Oasis, known for their seminal albums Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, rose to global fame in the 1990s with hits like “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and “Champagne Supernova.” Their music, a defining element of the Britpop movement, captured the spirit of a generation. However, the band was equally famous for the tumultuous relationship between the Gallagher brothers, whose public spats often overshadowed their musical achievements.
The band’s unexpected breakup in 2009, following a backstage altercation between Noel and Liam, left fans devastated and led to the formation of separate musical projects by each brother. Despite the ongoing feuds, the demand for a reunion has never waned, with fans and fellow musicians alike frequently calling for the band to reconcile.
Tour Details
The 2025 tour will be a monumental event, with multiple dates scheduled at some of the most iconic stadiums in the UK and Ireland. The tour kicks off on July 4, 2025, at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and will continue through the summer, with performances in Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium, among others. The tour is expected to culminate with a massive two-night finale at Dublin’s Croke Park in mid-August.
Tickets for the tour are expected to sell out quickly, with pre-sales already generating significant buzz online. Fans are eager not only to hear Oasis’s classic hits live but also to witness the brothers’ reunion on stage—a moment that many thought might never happen.
Reactions and Expectations
The announcement has sparked a wave of excitement across social media, with fans expressing their joy and disbelief. Music critics are already speculating about the potential setlists, and whether the reunion will lead to new material from the band.
While both Noel and Liam have pursued successful solo careers, their reunion as Oasis is seen as a full-circle moment for the band and their followers. The tour not only offers a chance to relive the glory days of 90s Britpop but also raises the question of whether this reunion might be more than just a one-off event.
As anticipation builds, the 2025 Oasis tour is set to be one of the most significant musical events of the decade, bringing together generations of fans to celebrate the enduring legacy of one of Britain’s greatest bands.
