Hell has frozen over, pigs have flown. And the brothers Gallagher are reuniting Oasis.

In a development that, for a decade or more that bordered on fantasy, the “Live Forever” band has confirmed a tour in 2025.


“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” reads a statement on the Manchester indie rock juggernauts’ social media channels.

Announced early Tuesday, Aug. 27, Oasis will hit the road in 2025 for multiple dates across the British Isles, including Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin, for what will be their “only shows in Europe next year”.

There’s more to come. “Plans are underway for OASIS LIVE ’25 to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year,” reads an official statement.

Oasis is one of Britain’s most popular rock bands of them all, a border-crossing beast which somehow flew under the radar in the United States.

Discovered and signed by Alan McGee to the Scottish entrepreneur’s Creation label in the early ’90s, Oasis was the heavyweight of the Britpop scene, and the natural born enemy to Blur.

With the release of their 1994 debut Definitely Maybe, the band embarked on a glorious run, during which all seven of their studio albums went to No. 1 on the Official Chart (the 2010 hits collection Time Flies also flew to No. 1). The third of those, 1997’s Be Hear Now, sold more than 663,000 in just three days, a record that stands today.

All told, eight Oasis singles hit the summit in the U.K.

The Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, split the band in 2010, and became estranged. At one point, the relationship had turned legal, as their mother openly pleaded for the lads to heal that rift. Both artists formed successful musical careers away from the band that made them household names.

The rumor mill would regularly grind away, but fans were left wanting, waiting for a reunion that seemed either unlikely or impossible. Following reports in the British press, another teaser, this time with an outcome, appeared on the Gallagher brothers’ social pages and the official Oasis page this week with a clip, styled like the band’s logo, hinting that something would happen today at 8am.

Liam fanned the flames on social media of a possible reunion with his brother Noel, who he last performed with onstage in August 2009.
