It’s not even been 24 hours since the Gallagher brothers confirmed their epic comeback, but fans are already fretting about getting their hands on a ticket.
Liam and Noel are finally letting bygones be bygones and will be taking to the stage together next year, as the siblings announced a string of dates in the UK and Ireland.
Imagine how proud their beloved mum Peggy must be, eh?
After sending the entire country into a tizz over the weekend while teasing the announcement, the no-longer-warring duo officially confirmed the rumours that they were reuniting this morning (27 August).
The band let music lovers know what dates to get in their diaries for 2025 while announcing they had called a truce on their long-running feud.
“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” they said.
The band will get back together in a number of places that are close to their heart for the tour, titled Oasis Live ’25, including their hometown of Manchester, while they will also pay homage to their Irish roots too.

But Wales is the place where the brothers will be belting out tunes together for the first time since they split in 2009, as their tour will kick off with gigs at the Cardiff Principality Stadium on 4 and 5 July, 2025.
Following that, Liam, 51, and Noel, 57, will head up north to rock the stage for four nights at Heaton Park – which sits on more than 600-acres – on 11, 12, 19 and 20 July.
The Gallagher brothers are then set to head down to London to play Wembley Stadium on 25 and 26 July, and then again on 2 and 3 August.
After that, Oasis will play at Murrayfield in Edinburgh on 8 and 9 August, before their legendary comeback tour comes to an end after shows on 16 and 17 August in Dublin’s Croke Park.
Tickets go on sale this Saturday (31 August) – and the fear of not getting one has already set in for a lot of fans.
Even though the venues for Oasis Live ’25 are all massive, they sadly can’t squeeze all of us in, so there will no doubt be a few disappointed people who don’t manage to bag a ticket this weekend.
But still, you shouldn’t give up hope just yet, as there’s still a decent chance of you getting one.
Take Heaton Park, for example – according to Greater Manchester’s Night Time Economy Adviser, Sacha Lord, the beauty spot can fit a fair few parka-wearing music fans in it.
The entrepreneur, who was instrumental in the creation of The Warehouse Project, knows a thing or two about Heaton Park and it’s capacity, seen as though he has hosted Parklife in there every year for the last decade or so.

And today he explained that there will be a capacity of 80,000 people at each of the Oasis gigs next year.
So for those who can’t be bothered doing the maths, that means that 320,000 lucky buggers will get a chance to see Noel and Liam at their four gigs in Heaton Park.
In comparison, Wembley – which is the largest stadium in the country – has 90,000 seats, while 82,300 can cram into Dublin’s Croke Park.
On the smaller end of the scale, Cardiff’s Principality Stadium can accommodate 74,500 people and 67,144 can fit inside Scotland’s Murrayfield Stadium.
So, if you add all that up, it means that more than one million tickets will be going on sale for the Oasis tour.
Or, 1,127,888 to be exact.
Speaking what Oasis Live ’25 will bring to Manchester, night tsar Sacha said: “The Oasis reunion will create a hugely positive surge in hospitality.
“The impact of welcoming 80,000 people each night for the four planned gigs at Heaton Park cannot be underestimated and we are expecting an estimated benefit to the Greater Manchester economy of over £15 million across the four events.
“Events aren’t just about ticket sales, they have huge impacts on the local area and our hotels, pubs, bars, restaurants will all see the benefit, including extra hours for staff, as well as renewed global attention on the region and its cultural history.
“We are immensely proud of our music heritage here in Greater Manchester and we are excited to welcome the band home.”
So are we, Sacha. So are we.
