British rock band Oasis have announced that they will come back for a reunion tour in 2025, according to the band’s website.
The tour kicks off on July 4 at Cardiff Principality Stadium in Wales, with the band set to play a total of 14 dates across the UK and Ireland.
“This is it. This is happening,” Oasis frontmen Noel and Liam Gallagher said in a post on X.
Tickets will go on sale at 9am UK time (4am ET) on Saturday 31st August.
“There was no big revelatory moment that prompted us to reunite, it just gradually became clear that the time was right,” the band said in a statement, adding that they plan to play shows outside Europe later next year.
The announcement comes just two days before the 30th anniversary of the release of Oasis’ 1994 debut studio album, “Definitely, Maybe.”
The album included popular songs such as “Live Forever,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star” and “Supersonic” and launched Oasis into incredibly rapid fame.
Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have had a notoriously tense relationship since splitting Oasis in 2009, with many acrimonious exchanges in the media.
Both brothers have previously spoken about the possibility of a reunion.
In a 2023 interview with KPNW 89.9 radio, Noel said that initially “my brother would have to call me,” but that he was willing to listen to his brother’s ideas, emphasizing that the responsibility rested with his brother.
Before the band kicked off their Definitely, Maybe anniversary tour in the UK in June, Liam said in an interview that Noel had turned down an offer to do a reunion tour.
“I offered him the Oasis tour, because I was offered it, and he said no,” Liam told Mojo magazine in a February interview. “It’s a big tour, a lot of money, and he said no.”
Next year marks another milestone for Oasis, the 30th anniversary of the release of their 1995 hit album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?. The album was Oasis’ second studio album and featured some of their most popular songs, including “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Champagne Supernova.”

Just a year after the album’s release, and in their third year as a Britpop-era band, Oasis played two consecutive nights at Knebworth Festival at Knebworth House in England to a crowd of 250,000.
According to the BBC, over 4% of the UK population applied for tickets to the Knebworth show, making the event one of the biggest demands for concert tickets in UK history.
Their last studio album was 2008’s Dig Out Your Soul. Noel left the band during a much-talked about gig in Paris in 2009.
“It is with a bit of sadness, but also a great sense of relief, that I announce tonight that I am leaving Oasis,” Noel Gallagher said in a short statement on the band’s website at the time. “People can write and say what they like, but I just can’t continue working with Liam any longer.”
Both Liam and Noel have had successful solo careers: Liam has released three solo albums and several other collaborative albums, while Noel formed a new band, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, in 2010 and has released four studio albums.
“The greatest strength of Oasis was the relationship between me and Liam,” Noel said in the 2016 documentary Oasis: Supersonic.
He also said, “That’s what ultimately doomed the band.”
