Citing “unprecedented demand,” Oasis announced on Thursday (August 29) that they are adding three more shows to their Oasis Live ’25 World Tour reunion run in the UK. In an X post, the band revealed that they have tacked on a July 16 date at Heaton Park, as well as another show at Wembley Stadium on July 30 and a third night at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on August 12.

Earlier this week, the band led by siblings singer Liam and guitarist/songwriter Noel Gallagher announced that after 15 years apart they will play a series of 14 gigs in the UK next summer, news that sent longtime fans who had all but given up on any rapprochement between the famously battling brothers into a frenzy. Though the show count is now up to 17, following online speculation, the band threw cold water on reports that the reunion would also include festival gigs.

“Despite media speculation, Oasis will not be playing Glastonbury 2025 or any other festivals next year,” read a post on X on Wednesday. “The only way to see the band perform will be on their Oasis Live ’25 World Tour.” At press time the lineup of the band for the reunion shows had not yet been announced and it was unclear if they planned to record new music to accompany the shows.

In other news, the band also announced on Thursday morning that the window for registration for a pre-sale ticket ballot had been extended due to “a last minute surge” in entries. Because the large number of confirmation emails are still being processed and sent out, the deadline to confirm entry has now been extended to 10 a.m. BST (5 a.m. ET) on Friday (August 30). Successful ballots holders will be contacted on Friday by 5 p.m. BST (noon ET) with pre-sale access information. At press time the ticket prices had not yet been announced.
