Oasis have confirmed this morning they are reuniting for a comeback tour in 2025, with four blockbuster gigs at Wembley.

The major announcement came at 8am after Noel and Liam Gallagher fuelled speculation about a reunion.

The Manchester brothers have not performed on stage with one another since breaking up in 2009 but are now reuniting for a string of gigs next year.

They will play at Manchester’s Heaton Park, Wembley, Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, and Dublin’s Croke Park.

In a statement, Oasis hinted the tour could go global with ‘plans underway for Oasis Live ’25 to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year’. 

They said: ‘The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.’

The Gallaghers both posted a short clip of the band’s logo on Sunday on their social media feeds teasing an announcement at 8am this morning along with the official Oasis account.

It was one night in Paris 15 years ago when it appeared Oasis would forever be consigned to the rock history books.

The date was August 28, 2009. The venue was the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

It was a night that brought a crashing end to the band before today’s sensational comeback announcement.

The backstage brawl saw Noel and Liam trade blows in a vicious fight which saw Liam smash Noel’s guitar after hearing he was quitting.

Ticket demand will ‘absolutely dwarf Taylor Swift’

A music journalist has suggested the demand for Oasis tickets will ‘absolutely dwarf’ that seen for Taylor Swift’s concerts in the UK.

DJ Kevin McManus told ITV that four per cent of the population was trying to get a ticket when Oasis twice performed at Knebworth in 1996.

‘They sold out 250,000 tickets, but it was a ridiculous amount of people who tried to buy tickets, they were that huge,’ he said.

‘But this, because people have been talking about it for the past decade, it’s going to be even bigger.

‘I think everybody is going to try and get a ticket.

‘Taylor Swift was obviously the big deal this summer, I think it’s going to absolutely dwarf that, just because it’s them and there’s that talk.

‘And there’s always going to be that ‘are they going to do it? Are they going to fall out before the first show, are they going to fall out after five shows? Will they do the rest?’

Abbey Road Studios describe Oasis reunion as ‘history’

Abbey Road Studios, the famous London recording studio where Oasis recorded multiple songs, described the band’s reunion as ‘history’.

The studio posted that single word as it joined tens of thousands who commented beneath the band’s announcement on Instagram, where BBC Radio 2 also commented: ‘They’re back!’

Alan McGee, the music executive who signed Oasis to his label Creation Records in 1993, posted to the platform: ‘Good for music. Good for them. Good for us.’

Oasis superfan: ‘No one can believe it!’

Oasis superfan David Walker, a leading member of the Oasis Collectors Group, says ‘nobody could quite believe it’.

The Glaswegian said there would be ‘an almighty party’ when the brothers rock up in Edinburgh next year – but he raised fears about Liam and Noel’s motives saying: ‘They [fans] won’t want to see the band’s legacy tarnished’

The bigger questions are perhaps around the brothers’ relationship – will it hold up throughout? And if so, will new music follow, or is it purely money-driven and then they’ll simply go their separate ways again? Fans 100% want to see the brothers performing together again, but if they’re just going through the motions, then they won’t want to see the band’s legacy tarnished. Nobody wants to see a sad end to it all. But right here, right now, all our dreams are made.

As Oasis prepare for their mammoth comeback, MailOnline has taken a look at the band’s best moments and how they made the history books – including THAT rivalry with Blur.

Oasis fans are ‘preparing for war’ when tickets go on sale on Saturday.

There is expected to be an almighty scramble for tickets at 9am as one of Britain’s most iconic rock bands heads back on the road in 2025 for a UK and Ireland tour.

Fans say they it will be the ‘ticket bloodbath of the century’ as one quipped: ‘Good luck folks.’

Oasis’ Wikipedia page has been changed

There has been a tiny tweak to Oasis’ Wikipedia page after the band’s huge announcement.

With a subtle change to the ‘years active’ to include ‘2024-present’.

According to music industry sources, Liam and Noel’s varied fortunes last year made the latter ‘realise just what he was missing’.

Ready Katie Hind’s exclusive below.

Millions of fans will be glued to their screens on Saturday morning hoping to get their hands on a ticket.

And it appears they will go to any length in order to get one, with some saying they would sell their house.

Liam Gallagher has slammed claims Oasis are reuniting just because they’re ‘skint’.

Fans are preparing to scramble for tickets this Saturday ahead of a tour tipped to rake in £400million for him and his brother Noel.

Noel once claimed it would take ‘half a billion pounds’ for him to reunite Oasis, but the demand for the band’s comeback appears to have become so financially lucrative that the 57-year-old rocker is finally coming to the table.

The Britpop icons’ return is now closer than ever after Liam, 51, teased an official reunion during his set at Reading Festival last night.

It is believed a series of late night phone calls between the warring brothers sealed the deal on what would be one of the music events of the decade.

Is this a sign that it is definitely (maybe) happening!

A holding page has appeared on Ticketmaster’s site this morning, although a message underneath reads: ‘Sorry… there are currently no upcoming concerts.’

‘Day Manchester has been waiting for’: Mayor speaks of excitement

Manchester Mayor and Oasis fan Andy Burnham has been doing the media rounds this morning, telling the BBC and Sky News that this is the ‘day that Manchester has been waiting for’.

But he said it would ‘be the most Noel and Liam thing ever if one of them woke up this morning and had a change of heart’.

But the person I am most pleased for is the one and only Peggy Gallagher. How brilliant is it going to be for her to see her sons on stage again?

We are just 18 minutes away from that expected HUGE announcement – nad some fans have been so excited they have ‘hardly slept’.

Fans of the Manchester rock band have pleaded with the brothers to regroup since they disbanded in 2009, prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Excited Oasis fans are hitting the refresh button as they eagerly await the 8am announcement.

Oasis in line for £50m payday

MailOnline’s Entertainment Editor Grant Tucker reported Oasis have been promised a payday of £50 million to reform and embark on a global tour.

The eye-watering sum is said to have convinced warring brothers Noel and Liam to bury the hatchet 15 years after they last appeared on stage together.

Their fractious relationship came to a head in 2009, after a backstage fight in Paris led to Noel, 57, leaving the band.

In recent years, Liam, 51, has been keen to make amends with his brother and reform the iconic Britpop band, but his older brother poured cold water on the idea.

Liam and Noel’s fractious relationship began to thaw during late night phone calls.

A source told The Sun: ‘Noel and Liam are never going to be the best of friends but they want to bring Oasis back for the fans.

‘They aren’t getting any younger and the demand is huge. They decided it was now or never. Noel dug his heels in for a long time but has finally caved and agreed to return.

‘He spoke to Liam on the phone and they are on the same page. They know this reunion will go down in music history.’

Liam gave the biggest hint that his relationship with Noel had healed by dedicating the Oasis track Half The World Away to his estranged brother during his headline set at the Reading Festival on Sunday evening.

Introducing the song – a 1994 B-side that also featured as the theme tune to sitcom The Royle Family – he told revellers: ‘I wanna dedicate this song to Noel f**king Gallagher.’

It’s not just fans who’ll be jumping for joy about Liam and Noel burying the hatchet to reunite the iconic Britpop band.

The siblings’ mother, Peggy, 81, has been pleading for years for the warring brothers to make up.

The doting Irish mother was bullish in Liam’s 2019 documentary As It Was as she

declared how they are all going to get along in the New Year and ‘that’s it’.

A source close to the Gallaghers told The Mirror that Peggy ‘would love to see them back playing together and has always urged them to stop arguing and put the past behind them’.

She will be thrilled too with what has happened

The hint of a reunion has got Oasis fans salivating – and they are happy to raid their savings to fork out a whopping £500 for a ticket.

However, plenty told MailOnline that they doubt the truce will last, as ‘anything could happen’ – and some even think the tour will get cancelled after Noel and Liam have yet another fallout.

Wesley, from Wrexham, North Wales, said: ‘I think they will probably reunite. I love Oasis, I’ve seen them loads of times, but it’s been on and off for so long.

‘I’m very excited – but I don’t think we’ll get tickets, is the trouble.

‘They’ll cost a lot of money. I’d probably spend £500 max, no more than that. It’s a lot of money.

‘I think the truce will last about two shows max, to be honest with you – I can see them going back to the old ways.’

Although one fan is hoping a reunion will mean travelling back to the ticket prices of the 1990s, too.

When Oasis played at Knebworth Park in 1996, tickets were priced at £22.50…

What’s the story…

Good morning and welcome to MailOnline’s live coverage as we await a major announcement from Oasis at 8am.

Fans will be eagerly anticipating the outcome after Noel and Liam Gallagher fuelled speculation of a comeback on their social media accounts.

It comes amid reports the Manchester brothers are pairing up for new shows next year with Wembley and Heaton Park chosen as venues for the reunion.
