After days of speculation, the Gallagher brothers have finally confirmed that Oasis are getting back together.

Noel and Liam will hopefully put their differences aside to perform a series of concerts in the UK and Ireland, on a tour called Oasis Live ’25.

A statement from the band said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see it. It will not be televised.”

Here’s what you need to know about getting tickets to the popular comeback concerts.

So far, only dates for Oasis’ world tour in the UK and Ireland have been announced.

They will play four dates on Heaton Park in Manchesterand four at Wembley Stadium in London.

They will also play two nights in Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburghand two more Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

The final performances will be in Ireland, at Croke Park in Dublin.

The dates:

July 4, 5 – Cardiff, Principality Stadium

July 11, 12, 19, 20 – Manchester, Heaton Park

July 25, 26 and August 2, 3 – London, Wembley Stadium

August 8, 9 – Edinburgh, Murrayfield Stadium

August 16, 17 – Dublin, Croke Park

The band said that these dates would be their only dates in Europe next year. It is possible that more will be added if the initial dates sell out.

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

Ticket sales start on Saturday, August 31, 2024.

Tickets for the UK shows go on sale from 09:00 BST.

Tickets for Dublin are available one hour earlier, on the same day.

That’s the most important question, but it’s not yet certain how much the tickets will cost.

All ticket prices, including Platinum and VIP, will be announced on Thursday, August 29, two days before sales start.

Fans can purchase four tickets each.

Given the level of excitement surrounding the announcement and how long it has been since the band last played together, some fans will likely be willing to pay extremely high prices.

Prior to the reunion announcement on Tuesday, rumours had been circulating that Oasis would perform on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage for a third time as part of their return next summer, having previously performed in 1995 and 2004.

So, what’s the story? Well, the band have described the stadium gigs as their “only European shows”, effectively ruling out Glastonbury.

The Somerset music festival was not mentioned at all in the press release or social media posts about the tour.

An Oasis spokesperson confirmed to BBC News on Tuesday afternoon that the band will not be performing at Glastonbury.

However, that doesn’t stop fans from holding out hope.

Oasis’ schedule would allow it, after all. The festival falls in late June, before they begin the opening leg of their world tour in the UK in July.

The Glastonbury line-up has yet to be finalised and surprise appearances are not uncommon. The band may see it as a chance for redemption after their 2004 headline performance was poorly received.

Liam later admitted that he “hated” the performance and indicated that it was his use of in-ear monitors that disrupted his pace.

“I’ve always enjoyed Glastonbury. There’s only one I didn’t like and that was when I was wearing a white jacket,” he told BBC 6 Music’s Matt Everitt in 2019.

“I didn’t like that because that’s when I first started using in-ears (monitors to hear the music) and that put me out of the running for 15 years. I hated that gig, man.”

Oasis formed in Manchester in 1991. The original line-up consisted of Liam and Noel, guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, bassist Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan and drummer Tony McCarroll.

But the line-up changed over the years (scroll down for more information), until their last performance at the V Festival in 2009.

Bonehead and Liam are still friends and the guitarist accompanies Liam to some of his gigs.

It is currently unclear who fans will see on tour, besides the Gallagher brothers. BBC News has asked the promoter for clarification.

The band officially broke up in 2009 after an altercation backstage at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Noel explained two years later that Liam had tried to attack him with his guitar during an argument.

He claimed the feud broke out after he banned Liam from promoting his clothing brand on the programme for the V Festival, where the pair were due to perform.

Liam said in 2017 that he had been unfairly made a scapegoat by Noel and that he should take the blame for the band’s split.

But there were problems even before the festival incident: the two couldn’t agree on the artistic direction of Dig Out Your Soul, their last album, released in 2008.

Many fans are curious to see how the brothers’ relationship will develop 15 years after their split.

The group started in 1991 with five members.

This consisted of Paul Arthurs on guitar, Paul McGuigan on bass guitar and Tony McCarroll on drums, with Liam Gallagher on lead vocals and Noel on lead guitar and vocals.

McCarroll was replaced by Andy White in 1995 and Arthurs and McGuigan were replaced by Gem Archer and Andy Bell in 1999.

White left the band in 2004 and was replaced by Zac Starkey. In 2008 he was replaced by Chris Sharrock.

The remaining members of the band continued with Liam Gallagher and formed the new band Beady Eye, which split in 2014.

It is not yet known whether any former band members will be touring with Liam and Noel next year.

Only those who were in the room with Noel and Liam (aged 57 and 51 respectively) when they decided to get back together know the real reason for their reconciliation.

Many wrote them off, saying it was unlikely they would ever perform together again, especially after Noel refused to appear on stage with Liam at One Love Manchester after the city was rocked by the bombing of Ariana Grande’s concert.

The cynical answer, of course, is that 14 big shows (with more announced) will bring in a lot of income for the band.

If Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is anything to go by, they could be raking in around £14 million per concert.
