After 15 years of feuding, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have buried the hatchet and will play a handful of reunion concerts in the summer of 2025.
The Britpop band will play two nights apiece at Cardiff's Principality Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park, three nights at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium, and five nights at both Manchester's Heaton Park and Wembley Stadium in London in July and August.
Dubbed Oasis Live '25, the shows will mark the brothers' first performances together since their 2009 headline appearance at V Festival. The band's full line-up, though, is yet to be revealed. Tickets go on general sale this Saturday (August 31) at 9am for all UK dates and 8am for Dublin - Compare and buy tickets here.
A statement on the Oasis website has confirmed the shows will be their only in Europe next year, quashing rumours that the band will headline Glastonbury Festival in 2025. The post also states they intend to head "to other continents outside of Europe later next year."
Oasis formed back in 1991 and released their seminal debut album, 'Definitely Maybe', in 1994. A 30th anniversary deluxe reissue of the record will be released this Friday (August 30). They put out six more albums prior to their headline-making split in 2009, the last being 2008's 'Dig Out Your Soul'.
Since then, both Liam and Noel have pursued successful solo careers, with Liam's latest LP, 'C'Mon You Know', arriving in 2022. He also put out an album with former Stone Roses guitarist and songwriter John Squire this March, and the pair toured the record across the UK and Europe this spring.
Noel, meanwhile, has been recording and touring with the High Flying Birds, and they've put out four albums to date, the most recent being 2023's 'Council Skies'.
Faithless
With Sister Bliss leading a live seven-piece band, the legendary dance act will bring the Champion Sound Tour to Edinburgh, Belfast, Newcastle, Bristol, Brighton, London and Manchester between November 1 and 15, before shows across Europe.
The trek shares its name with the eighth studio album from Faithless, which was announced in July alongside the release of its first single, Find A Way featuring Suli Breaks. Thet track marks the group's first new music since the death of frontman Maxi Jazz in 2022.
A release date for the follow-up to 2020's 'All Blessed' is still to be revealed.
