It’s official: Oasis is back.

The beloved Britpop band have announced a handful of reunion concerts taking place in the summer of 2025. These shows will mark Oasis’ first performances since their 2009 headlining appearance at V Festival in England.

Dubbed “Oasis Live ’25,” the first reunion shows are slated for the UK and Ireland in July and August 2025. In particular, the band will play multiple nights at Principality Stadium in Cardiff; Heaton Park in Manchester; Wembley Stadium in London; Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh; and Croke Park in Dublin.

Tickets for Oasis’ newly announced reunion shows will go on sale beginning Saturday, August 31st. In the UK, they will be available starting at 9:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster, while they will go on sale in Dublin starting at 8:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.

Additional plans are underway for Oasis to play concerts in other “continents outside of Europe later next year,” according to a press release. A new tweet from Noel Gallagher, though, states that the announced shows “will be the band’s exclusive European appearances.” Check out the full list of confirmed upcoming dates below.

Along with the show announcement, Oasis provided the following “comment” in the press releases: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.” Additionally, they shared an official trailer for the “Oasis Live ’25” shows featuring archival footage of the band’s original run. Watch the video below.

An Oasis reunion has been highly anticipated for years, though it seemed unlikely until just last week. Formed by the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, in Manchester, Oasis became one of the defining bands of the Britpop era. Between 1994 and 2008, they released seven studio albums, including the critically acclaimed Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?. Despite a frequently changing rhythm section, the core of Oasis remained the Gallaghers, with Noel as the primary songwriter and Liam as the lead vocalist. However, their intense sibling rivalry, marked by public and private feuds, often overshadowed their musical achievements.

Oasis broke up definitively in 2009 after Noel and Liam reached an uncrossable impasse in their working relationship. “It is with some sadness and great relief…I quit Oasis tonight,” wrote Noel on Oasis’ website in 2009. “People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.” Liam went on to form Beady Eye with some of Oasis’ remaining members, while Noel began his solo project, Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds.

Liam disbanded Beady Eye in 2014 and has since released three solo albums; most recently, Liam joined forces with fellow Manchester musician John Squire of The Stone Roses for a collaborative album simply titled Liam Gallagher John Squire. Noel has released four albums under his High Flying Birds moniker, including last year’s Council Skies.

In the time since their 2009 breakup, Oasis released a singles compilation called Time Flies, a documentary film titled Oasis: Supersonic, and most recently, Oasis Knebworth 1996, a concert and documentary film that track’s the band’s historic performance at Knebworth during the peak of Britpop. They also unearthed “Don’t Stop…,” a demo recording from the mid 2000s, in 2020, marking the band’s first official release in 11 years.

Still, with the brothers constantly badgering each other, both in the press and on their respective Twitter accounts, the possibility of Liam and Noel reconciling seemed less likely with each passing year. They’d even get mad when other musicians pleaded with them to resolve their differences and get Oasis back together; Noel recently told Dave Grohl to “wind his fucking neck in about Oasis” for suggesting they reunite, and after The 1975’s Matty Healy said they should “grow up” and “headline Glastonbury,” Noel called him a “slack-jawed fuckwit.”

All that icy hatred that Noel and Liam harbored towards one other, however, is apparently thawing. This summer marked the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ debut Definitely Maybe, and Liam embarked on a UK and EU tour where he played the album in full. Liam apparently saved Noel a seat at each and every performance, writing on Twitter, “You never know. Hope is a powerful thing, I guess.”

Last week, the band released a special video commemorating Definitely Maybe, and Noel, shockingly, paid his brother a big compliment: “When I would sing a song, it would sound good. When he sung it, it sounded great,” said Noel in an interview. “I can’t sing “Cigarettes & Alcohol,” “Rock’n’Roll Star” and all that. I don’t have the same attitude as him. My voice is half a Guinness on a Tuesday — it’s all right. Liam’s is ten shots of tequila on a Friday.”

Ahead of Liam Gallagher’s headlining performances at Reading and Leeds Festival this weekend, The Sunday Times sparked excitement by reporting that an Oasis reunion was imminent. Liam seemingly confirmed the speculation on Twitter, replying to a comment about the article with a cheeky reply: “See you down the front you big fanny.” The band then posted an announcement timer, fueling more speculation of their reunion. Now, Oasis have confirmed that their first shows in 16 years are indeed happening. Definitely, maybe. Just as long as the brothers can keep it together for the 10 months until…
