If you attended one of the Oasis ’25 reunion shows this summer you will likely never forget the soul-stirring echo of 50,000+ fans shouting out the lyrics to “Wonderwall” along with singer Liam Gallagher as if the tune was the Oasis National Anthem.

Which it basically is.


That explains why on Thursday (Oct. 30) Oasis announced that they are marking the 30th anniversary of one of their most indelible hits, which has racked up more than three billion streams to date. The band’s biggest hit and an unmovable staple of their live shows will be celebrated with a limited-edition (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? 7″ singles box set due out on Dec. 12, a replica of a highly collectible 1996 cigarette-style CD box set.

The new box includes four 7″ singles — the 2014 remastered versions of “Wonderwall,” “Some Might Say,” “Roll With It” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” — along with their original b-sides, respectively, “Round Are Way,” “Talk Tonight,” “It’s Better People” and “Step Out.”

In addition to playing around the world on a reunion tour that nobody ever thought would happen, Oasis have spent the year looking back at some of their musical highlights. Last month, they released the 25th anniversary reissue of their Wembley Stadium live album, Familiar to Millions and the 25th anniversary reissue of their fourth album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, as well as an unplugged version of “Morning Glory.” To celebrate the launch of their first run of shows in 16 years in July, the group also issued a box set collecting all their studio albums.

This month they also announced a massive book chronicling the tour, Oasis Live ’25 OPUS.

Oasis will march on Friday night (Oct. 31) with the first of three shows at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, followed by two gigs in Sydney next weekend and a final run of shows in Argentina, Chile and Brazil to round out the month.

Though a Nov. 23 show at MorumBIS in São Paulo, Brazil is currently the final scheduled date, earlier this month Liam Gallagher answered a fan’s complaint about one of his favorite songs not make the set list by offering up a cryptic tease about future dates. “Chill Winston it’s not even HALF TIME yet it’s a tour of 2 half’s,” Gallagher wrote. To date, spokespeople for the band have not returned Billboard‘s request for comment on potential 2026 tour dates.

Here’s Why ‘Shake It to the Max’ Was Deemed Ineligible at the 2026 Grammys — And Why Its Label Calls the Decision ‘Devoid of Any Common Sense’

Representatives from the Recording Academy and gamma. CEO Larry Jackson comment on one of this year's most shocking Grammy snubs.

Few phrases define the year in music and culture like Moliy’s scintillating directive to “shake it to the max.” The Ghanaian singer’s sultry voice reverberated across the globe, blending her own Afropop inclinations with Jamaican dancehall-informed production, courtesy of Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil. Originally released in December 2024, Moliy’s breakthrough global crossover hit ascended to world domination, peaking at No. 6 on the Global 200, thanks to a remix featuring dancehall superstars Shenseea and Skillibeng. Simply put, “Max” soundtracked a seismic moment in African and Caribbean music in 2025.

Given its blockbuster success, “Shake It to the Max” was widely expected to be a frontrunner in several categories at the 2026 Grammys. In fact, had the song earned a nomination for either best African music performance or best global music performance, many forecasters anticipated a victory. So, when “Shake It to the Max” failed to appear on the final list of 2026 Grammy nominees in any category earlier this month (Nov. 7), listeners across the world were left scratching their heads — none more than gamma. CEO Larry Jackson.
