Oasis Is Reuniting For 2025 Tour

Discovered and signed by Alan McGee to the Scottish entrepreneur’s iconic Creation label in the early ’90s, Oasis was the heavyweight of the Britpop scene, 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 696,000 copies 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 2009, 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; a clip which dropped over the weekend on the Gallagher brothers’ social pages and the official Oasis page, styled like the band’s logo and 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.

Noel had previously stated he was willing return to the band for £100 million ($135 million), to which Liam responded that he would reunite the band for free.

Oasis was nominated for the Rock Hall class of 2024, but missed out. Liam, the younger of the two siblings, didn’t seem phased. Earlier in the year, he summed up his dyspeptic feelings about the nod in a short, sharp tweet in which he wrote, “F–ck the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS.” The latter is a Jamaican slang term frequently employed by Gallagher on his socials when peeved to express his disdain in no uncertain terms.
