On August 27, 2024, Oasis revealed their long-awaited reunion tour, titled the Oasis Live ’25 Reunion Tour, marking their first tour together in 15 years since going solo.
The news was shared by Liam and Noel on the band’s official website. Fans are eager to see how the brothers’ dynamic will unfold during the tour. However, there has been no mention of McGuigan, Bonehead, or Tony McCaroll joining, though many hope to see the original lineup reunited.
The tour initially features 17 dates, including five shows at Wembley Stadium and Heaton Park in Manchester, covering five cities across the UK and Ireland. Due to high demand, three additional dates were added to the Oasis Live ’25 Reunion Tour on August 29, 2024, including two more shows at Wembley Stadium.
The tour will begin at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium before heading to Manchester’s Heaton Park, the Gallagher brothers’ hometown. Oasis will also perform at Wembley Stadium in London, Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, and Dublin’s Croke Park. The tour will conclude at Wembley Stadium on September 28, 2025.
There are swirling rumours that Oasis may headline Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage as part of their comeback, which would mark their third appearance there, following performances in 1995 and 2004. Fans are excited to finally see the band after 15 years apart. However, Oasis clarified in a statement on X that they will not be performing at Glastonbury 2025, emphasizing that the only way to see them live will be during their UK, Ireland, and Scotland tour dates.
Overall, Oasis’ Live ’25 Reunion Tour promises to be a nostalgic experience after 15 years of feuding and silence. The tour also offers the band a chance to redeem themselves after their 2009 split, which left many fans disheartened. Oasis has vowed to deliver an unforgettable show and reclaim their status as one of the greatest rock bands ever.
Reunion
Speculation surrounds the reasons behind the band’s reunion, with some attributing it to Liam’s reported £20 million loss following his divorce, while others believe the brothers have finally reconciled. Regardless of the cause, fans are thrilled about the upcoming tour. The concerts will mark 16 years since the band’s bitter split, which occurred when Noel Gallagher left before a performance at a French festival. It also coincides with the 30th anniversary of their iconic 1995 album, “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?”
Unlike Liam’s ongoing 30th-anniversary tour celebrating the band’s debut “Definitely Maybe”, the 2025 reunion setlist won’t be centered solely on that album.
Economic innovation
From an economic perspective, the Oasis reunion tour is expected to generate substantial revenue, potentially rivalling the profits seen from Taylor Swift’s U.K. shows, although likely not matching the earnings of her entire tour. The band’s fanbase, skewing older, may have more disposable income, leading to increased spending on hotels, dining, and merchandise.
Touted as a “once in a generation” event, the tour is already making waves in local economies, with businesses anticipating a boost from next year’s concerts. Since the announcement on August 27th, HMV has experienced a notable surge in sales. HMV reported a dramatic 526 per cent increase in sales across Oasis’ entire catalogue compared to the previous week. Specifically, sales of “Definitely Maybe” surged by 443 per cent, while “What’s the Story” saw a staggering 684 per cent rise, and “Knebworth” experienced a 209 per cent boost.
Additionally, pre-orders for the 30th-anniversary edition of “Definitely Maybe” doubled since the tour announcement.
Tour Schedule
After opening the tour with a two-day concert at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, the legendary rock band will move to England to perform an electrifying five-day concert at Heaton Park in Manchester.
The highly anticipated concert in London will kickstart on July 25th at the 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium — Europe’s second-largest stadium. Oasis fans in London, as well as the travelling fans that will be attending the concert at Wembley from various parts of Europe and the world at large, will get the chance to witness yet another jaw-dropping performance from the band as they look to create a historic atmosphere.
The concert in London is scheduled to be held for five days starting on July 25 and ending on August 3 before they travel to Scotland and Ireland for an accumulated eight-day show before returning to London again for the finale of the Tour at Wembley on September 27 and 28.
The second leg of the London show comes after an already sold-out 17-date tour that left fans disappointed, having waited for hours online only to face a surge in prices. Oasis has announced that the new dates were due to ‘phenomenal demand’.
As fans in London gear up to attend the show, Xsnoize brings you an update on the list of banned items you should not bring to Wembley Stadium for the concert.
