Rock band Oasis add UK dates to their worldwide reunion tour

Must read

British nineties band Oasis on Thursday announced three more dates to their worldwide reunion tour.

Noel Gallagher posted on X that “due to unprecedented demand” they would play the three additional concerts in July and August next year.

Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have put their infamous 15-year feud behind them for the tour.

The duo behind hit songs including ”Wonderwall”, “Don’t Look Back In Anger” and “Champagne Supernova” announced on Tuesday they would play an initial 14 gigs next year in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and the Irish capital, Dublin, starting in July 2025.

They also said they plan to play in “continents outside of Europe later next year”.

The extra shows will be in Manchester, London and Edinburgh.

Tickets have not yet gone on sale for the tour.

Fans have been invited to apply for a pre-sale ballot — now closed — before Saturday’s general release.

Formed in Manchester, northwest England in 1991, Oasis are credited with helping create the Britpop era of that decade that included bands such as Blur with which there was a fierce rivalry.

But the two brothers were notorious for their public fights which eventually came to a head during a spat at a 2009 Paris festival, when Liam broke one of Noel’s guitars. 

That was the last time the two brothers played together although each has regularly played the band’s hits to sold-out crowds.

The reunion will take place 30 years after Oasis’s 1995 album “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?”, which received international critical and commercial acclaim.
