LONDON (AP) — Oasis will reunite for a tour, the Britpop band known for such timeless hits as “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” announced Tuesday, ending a 15-year hiatus and, expectedly, the long-standing feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.

The guitar band said tickets for the 14-date tour will go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday. The tour will kick off in Cardiff, Wales, on July 4-5, 2025, before moving on to four dates in Manchester, four at London’s Wembley Stadium, two in Edinburgh and two in Dublin, where the tour will conclude on Aug. 17, the band said in a social media post.

“This is it. This is happening,” the band said.

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 breakup, the brothers had long had an antagonistic relationship and reportedly did not speak to each other for years after the breakup.

“People write and say what they want, but I just couldn’t continue working with Liam one more day,” Noël Gallagher, the band’s guitarist and songwriter wrote in a statement at the time.

Although the Gallagher brothers have not performed together since, they both regularly play Oasis songs during their solo performances. They have also both criticized each other in the press.

Noel Gallagher accused his younger brother of being hungover, causing them to cancel a concert in 2009. The frontman disputed the accusation and filed a lawsuit, but later dropped the lawsuit.

In 2011, Noel Gallagher told The Associated Press in an interview that he left the band after an incident in which Liam Gallagher began wielding a guitar “like an axe… and he swung that guitar around and he kind of, you know, smashed my face in with it, you know?”

In 2019, Liam Gallagher told AP he was ready for reconciliation.

“The main thing is that he and I are brothers,” he said. “He thinks I’m desperate to get the band back together for money. But I didn’t join the band to make money. I joined the band to have fun and see the world.”

“I don’t know what his problem is,” he continued. “I think he just wanted to go away and start his solo career, make all the money and be surrounded by all the yes-men that you can fire and hire whenever you want. You can’t do that with me.”

With the announcement, the Britpop forerunners put an end to days of fan speculation. A short video posted to the band’s social media accounts on Sunday night revealed the date “27.08.24” and time “8 o’clock”, written in the same font as the familiar Oasis logo. The brothers shared the same on their individual accounts.

Of course, fans have long theorized that a reunion is in the offing: in the wake of the 2017 bombing that killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert In Oasis’ hometown of Manchester, Liam Gallagher performed at a benefit concert that fueled speculation of a reunion. He criticized his brother’s absence, but a spokesman said Noel Gallagher was unable to attend due to an extended family trip. The charity organizers said Noel Gallagher approved the use of Oasis’ music and donated the royalties from “Don’t Look Back In Anger” to the British Red Cross’ One Love Manchester fund.

Later that year, Liam Gallagher tweeted to his brother, leading some to believe they had made it up: “Just wanted to wish team NG a very Merry Christmas, it’s been an amazing year, thanks for everything, look forward to seeing you tomorrow, AS YOU WERE LG x”

Before Tuesday’s announcement, Oasis had already planned to release a new collection, “Definitely Maybe – Deluxe 30th Anniversary Editions,” in honor of the anniversary of their debut album.

Rumors of a possible reunion were fueled over the weekend when Liam Gallagher took to social media to respond to unconfirmed reports that the band would be playing Wembley Stadium in London and Heaton Park in Manchester. When one social media user criticized Heaton Park, the Manchester native wrote: “See you at the front,” and called the user a vulgarity. In another separate post on X, he teased: “I’ve never liked that word FORMERLY.”

“Just tell me man,” Liam Gallagher responded. He also responded to several negative tweets about the potential reunion with “Your attitude sucks” and “SHUTUP.” Noel Gallagher, on the other hand, remained silent, other than posting the teasers.
