The Press Release:
Oasis today end years of feverish speculation with the confirmation of a long awaited run of UK and Ireland shows forming the domestic leg of their OASIS LIVE ’25 world tour. Oasis will hit Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin in the summer of 2025. Their only shows in Europe next year, this will be one of the biggest live moments and hottest tickets of the decade.

The Oasis live experience is unlike anything else. The roar that greets them as they step on stage. A set full of wall-to-wall classics. The spine-tingling sensation of being in a crowd singing back every word. And especially the charisma, spark and intensity that only comes when Liam and Noel Gallagher are on-stage together.

The brothers have flourished with their own projects since the band split in 2009, with ten UK #1 albums between them as well as countless festival headline sets and stadium and arena shows. But Oasis is something else. There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion – just the gradual realization that the time is right. Yet the timing must be a subconscious influence. This Thursday represents 30 years to the day since their electrifying debut album Definitely Maybe was released, while 2025 will see the equally essential second record (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? reach that same anniversary.

Oasis commented,

“The guns have fallen silent.
The stars have aligned.
The great wait is over.
Come see.
It will not be televised.”

Plans are underway for OASIS LIVE ’25 to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year.

Oasis’ legend has only been amplified in their absence. The classics that Liam and Noel have played in their solo shows have inspired phenomenal public demand for the band to make a long-awaited return, while the Knebworth 1996 film provided a taste of their exhilarating live performances to a whole new generation. They remain a huge draw in the streaming era, with 21.5 million monthly listeners at Spotify alone and a total of 12 billion streams to date. This Friday will also see the release of the Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition of Definitely Maybe, which is available to pre-order here.

A quick recap of the Oasis UK story. Formed in Manchester, the band quickly became one of the biggest cultural phenomenons of the era as Definitely Maybe became the fastest-selling debut album in British history – and has since reached 17x Platinum in recognition of 5 million+ UK sales. All seven of their studio albums went straight to #1, as did their 2010 compilation Time Flies…. Their catalogue features eight #1 singles, from “Some Might Say” to “The Importance of Being Idle,” as well as another fifteen Top 10 hits.

That huge following translated to the live arena, most famously playing to 125,000 people each night during two shows at Knebworth. Other big moments included two headline sets at Glastonbury in 1995 and 2004; huge homecoming shows at Manchester City’s Maine Road stadium; and a run of Wembley Stadium gigs which were documented in the live album Familiar To Millions.

Their accolades have included six BRIT Awards, including the Outstanding Contribution to British Music, two Ivor Novellos, and seventeen NME Awards.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Now before you give me the business for bringing up a band like Oasis on a “mostly” Metal music site, let’s remember that its my job to share the big news whenever possible and truth be told, the reunion of a band like Oasis is really, really, really big news. Like most people in my vintage I owned the bands first two releases “Definitely Maybe” and “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory” and while I didn’t love every single track on them, I did have a handful of favorites from each. There were certainly a band that was hard to avoid since their melodies would be heard a few times an hour on the hottest Rock radio stations of the day. Let’s remember that there was no Internet to stream stuff on or even Satellite stations. I realize you might be wondering how one can live like that but hey we made it through and now back to the biggest news in music that should last a couple of months at least. I honestly never expected Oasis to reunite based on the overall animosity that the brothers had for each other but hey perhaps everyone has a price. Now while there are only fourteen dates announced for Europe, one has to imagine that more dates will be added for the region and perhaps an extensive North American tour will come to pass as well. I know if one happens here I’d be interested in checking it out to see what its like. I never caught Oasis back in their original heyday. Let’s hope the peace between the pair not only continues but also extends to more lands being conquered by the reunion. Especially for the sake of those fans who found them to be their very favorite band of all time. That’s going to wrap this up for me but its the kind of news that I will be looking to keep on sharing because its probably good web traffic and we love that. What do you think about the news? Psyched or couldn’t care less? Chime in down below in the comments so we know where you all stand. I’ll see you again soon, please count the moments until that time and do stay safe out there.
