The announcement was posted on the brothers’ social media accounts,, external and the official Oasis page.

The shows will be the group’s first live performances in 16 years. Organizers said tickets would go on sale on Saturday (August 31).

In a statement, Oasis said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come and see it. It won’t be televised.”

The band said these would be their only shows in Europe next year.

However, Oasis Live ’25 is being described as a ‘world tour’, suggesting more dates will be announced soon.

A rumour of a Glastonbury appearance was not confirmed by the band.

Oasis also confirmed the release of a 30th anniversary edition of their album Definitely Maybe.

Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham told BBC Breakfast that a reunion tour was “the news we’ve all been waiting for” and that it would be “a significant day for Manchester”.

Fans of the Manchester rock band have been begging the brothers to get back together since they split in 2009 following a brawl backstage at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

It’s been 30 years since the chart-topping album Definitely Maybe made the Gallagher brothers stars, ushering in the Britpop era and launching the hellish duo to mega-stardom.

The group’s mega hits include Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Stop Crying Your Heart Out.

In 1996, around 2.5 million people applied for tickets to their two concerts at Knebworth, which could indicate demand for the new concerts.

However, the brothers have always had a difficult relationship and a number of tours have failed over the years. In 2009, a backstage feud broke out, resulting in Noel leaving the band.

Liam Gallagher added fuel to the reunion rumours swirling on social media last weekend during his headline performance at Reading Festival on Sunday night, where he dedicated Oasis’ song Half The World Away to his brother.

Some wonder what the real motivation for a possible reunion could be after so many years of hostility.

Helen Brown, music critic at The Independent, told BBC News: “After decades of batting at each other with cricket bats and fire extinguishers, it’s remarkable that (the Gallagher brothers) seem to be getting along better – and perhaps money is a motivator here.”

She added: “Maybe they can put aside their differences to fill their coffers.”
