Oasis, the legendary British rock band, has expanded their highly anticipated 2025 reunion tour by adding three new UK dates. This announcement comes in response to overwhelming demand following their initial tour reveal earlier this week.
The additional concerts are scheduled for July 16, 2025, at Heaton Park in Manchester, July 30, 2025, at Wembley Stadium in London, and August 12, 2025, in Edinburgh. These dates complement the previously announced shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin.
Formed in Manchester in 1991, Oasis quickly rose to prominence with their debut album "Definitely Maybe" in 1994, which became the fastest-selling debut album in British history at the time. The band's influence on the British music scene cannot be overstated, with over 75 million records sold worldwide and numerous accolades, including 17 NME Awards, 6 BRIT Awards, and 9 Q Awards.
The reunion tour marks a significant milestone for Oasis fans, as it will be the first time brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have shared the stage in 15 years. The band's official statement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) simply stated, "This is it, this is happening," igniting excitement among their devoted fanbase.
Tickets for all shows, including the newly added dates, will be available for purchase starting August 31, 2024, at 9 am BST. Given the band's historical popularity, exemplified by their 1996 Knebworth Park concerts which drew 250,000 attendees over two nights, fans are advised to act quickly to secure their spots.
Oasis has also addressed speculation about a potential Glastonbury headline performance, confirming that "The only way to see the band will be on the Oasis Live 25' World Tour." This announcement puts to rest any rumors and emphasizes the exclusivity of their upcoming tour dates.
The reunion of Oasis is particularly noteworthy given the well-publicized rivalry between the Gallagher brothers, which led to the band's disbandment in 2009. Both Noel and Liam have since pursued successful solo careers, but their reunion has reignited interest in the band that helped define the Britpop era of the 1990s.
"Due to unprecedented demand, three new UK dates will be added to Oasis Live '25."
As anticipation builds for the tour, fans are reminded of Oasis's significant impact on British rock music. Their 1995 single "Wonderwall" became one of the most iconic tracks of the 1990s, while their album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" remains one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history. The band's influence continues to resonate with contemporary artists, cementing their legacy in the annals of rock music.
