Oasis fans, rejoice! The legendary Britpop band has officially announced their reunion, setting the stage for an epic stadium tour in 2025. The news comes after weeks of feverish speculation, which hit a crescendo when Liam Gallagher teased fans with a cryptic message during his headline set at Reading Festival last Sunday.
This morning, the band confirmed that the OASIS LIVE 25 world tour is happening, with 14 stadium dates across Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin next summer. According to a press release, this European leg is just the beginning, with plans already underway for a global tour that will take the band to other continents later in the year.
The anticipation surrounding the reunion has sparked a massive surge in Oasis streams on Spotify. The streaming giant reported a whopping 160% increase in global streams in the 48 hours leading up to yesterday’s (August 26) announcement. The hype shows no signs of slowing down, as fans continue to revisit the band’s iconic catalog.
Attention is now turning to the possibility of an Oasis headline set at Glastonbury 2025. The band’s tour schedule leaves the week of Glastonbury (June 25-29) wide open, fueling rumors that they could be set to make a triumphant return to Worthy Farm. With other potential headliners like Eminem, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift in the mix, it’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Glastonbury lineups in years.
As for the tour itself, speculation is rife about who will join Liam and Noel on stage. Reports suggest that none of the original members will be part of the reunion, with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds stepping in for the gigs. Support acts are also the subject of much debate, with names like Blossoms, Kasabian, and Manic Street Preachers being floated as possible contenders.
The tour news arrives just in time for the 30th anniversary reissue of Oasis’s groundbreaking debut album, Definitely Maybe, dropping this Friday. Liam has already been celebrating the milestone by performing the album in full during his solo tour, which has seen him headline major festivals like Reading & Leeds this summer.
This reunion marks a seismic moment for Oasis fans and the music world at large. With a potential £400 million tour on the horizon and the band’s legacy stronger than ever, 2025 is shaping up to be the year Oasis reclaims their throne.
