British rock band Oasis have announced that they will be doing a reunion tour in 2025, according to the band’s website.

The tour kicks off on July 4 at Cardiff Principality Stadium in Wales and will see the band play a total of 14 shows across the UK.

In a message on X by Oasis frontmen Noel and Liam Gallagher, the brothers said: “This is it, this is happening.”

Tickets go on sale on Saturday, August 31 at 9am UK local time (4am ET).

“There was no big revealing moment that sparked the reunion – just the gradual realization that the time was right,” the band said in a statement, adding that they also plan to play more dates outside Europe later next year.

The announcement comes just two days before the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ 1994 debut studio album, “Definitely, Maybe.”

The album featured popular songs such as “Live Forever”, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star” and “Supersonic” and marked the beginning of Oasis’ remarkably meteoric rise to fame.

Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have had a notoriously tense relationship since they split from Oasis in 2009, with them often taking aim at each other in the media.

Both brothers have previously spoken about the possibility of a reunion.

Noel put the responsibility on his brother in an interview with KPNW 89.9 radio in 2023, saying his brother would have to call him first, but that he would be open to his ideas.

Before Liam kicked off his UK anniversary tour “Definitely, Maybe” in June, he said in an interview that Noel had turned down an offer for a reunion tour.

“We put an offer on the table for an Oasis thing – because it was offered to us – and he said no,” Liam told Mojo in an interview in February. “It was a big tour, a lot of money. He turned it down.”

Next year marks another milestone for Oasis with the 30th anniversary of their 1995 hit album “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” The album is Oasis’ second studio album and features some of their most popular sonic offerings such as “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Champagne Supernova.”

Just one year after the album’s release and three years into their Britpop career, Oasis drew 250,000 concertgoers over two nights at the Knebworth Festival at Knebworth House in England.

According to the BBC, more than 4% of the British population had requested tickets for the Knebworth shows, making the event one of the largest requests for concert tickets in British history.

Their most recent studio album was 2008’s “Dig Out Your Soul”. Noel left the band during a much-publicized performance in Paris in 2009.

“It is with some sadness and great relief that I tell you that I am leaving Oasis tonight,” Noel Gallagher said in a short statement on the band’s website at the time. “People write and say what they want, but I simply could not continue working with Liam one more day.”

Both Liam and Noel have had successful solo careers. Liam has released three solo albums and several other collaborative albums. Noel formed his new band Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in 2010 and has released four studio albums.

“The biggest strength of Oasis was the relationship between me and Liam,” Noel said in the 2016 documentary “Oasis: Supersonic.”

It was also, he said, “what ultimately did the band in.”
