What It’s About
After a 15-year hiatus, the British rock band Oasis has officially announced their reunion. Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are set to hit the stage together in a series of live performances starting in 2025.
Why It Matters
The significance of this reunion cannot be overstated for the music world. Oasis played a vital role in shaping British rock in the 1990s and their re-formation signals a highly anticipated event for a generation of fans.

The rumors were confirmed on Tuesday when the band announced on social media that tickets would be available starting Saturday for shows beginning in Cardiff, Wales on July 4, 2025. Following Cardiff, Oasis plans to perform 14 gigs including stops in Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin as part of the domestic leg of their world tour.
“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” the band emphatically stated on their website.
Fan Impact
Speculation about a potential reunion had already spiked fan interest over the weekend, leading to a significant 160% increase in Oasis streaming globally, as reported by Spotify.
Looking Forward
The 2025 tour will mark the 30th anniversary of Oasis’s second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, which includes legendary tracks like “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Wonderwall.” The album sold over 22 million copies globally, becoming not only their breakthrough in the United States but also the best-selling album of the 1990s in Britain.
