After days of speculation, the Gallagher brothers have finally confirmed that Oasis will get back together.

Noel and Liam will – hopefully – put their differences aside to play a series of dates in the UK and Ireland as part of a tour called “Oasis Live ’25”.

Enthusiastic fans will try to maximize their chances of attending one of the shows.

Registration for the pre-sale ticket draw has already started and closes on Wednesday at 7pm (BST).

Here’s everything we know so far about tickets and the rest of the tour.

So far, only dates for Oasis’ world tour in Great Britain and Ireland have been announced.

They play four times in Heaton Park in Manchesterand four at London’s Wembley Stadium.

They also play two nights at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburghand two more at The Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

The last gigs will take place in Ireland, at Dublin’s Croke Park.

The dates:

4 and 5 July – Cardiff, Principality Stadium

11, 12, 19, 20 July – Manchester Region, Heaton Park

25, 26 July and 2, 3 August – London, Wembley Stadium

8 and 9 August – Edinburgh, Murrayfield Stadium

16 and 17 August – Dublin Region, Croke Park

The band said these dates will be their only ones in Europe next year. It is possible that more will be added if the first dates sell out.

However, Oasis Live ’25 has been described as a “world tour,” suggesting that more dates will be announced soon.

A pre-sale ticket raffle will take place on Friday, August 30, 2024 – before general sale.

Registration to vote is now open and closes at 7pm BST on Wednesday 28 August.

Winning the raffle does not necessarily guarantee tickets, as tickets are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

The band said the vote was designed to “ensure that as many fans as possible have a fair chance of getting tickets.” Oasis warned that registration confirmation emails may be slow to arrive due to the “extremely high volume of applications.”

Successful applicants will receive another email with access information on Friday morning.

General ticket sales for the UK shows will then begin on Saturday 31 August 2024 at 09:00 (BST).

Tickets for general sale in Dublin will be available one hour earlier on the same day.

This is the crucial question, but it is not yet clear how much the tickets will cost.

All ticket prices, including Platinum and VIP, will be announced on Thursday, August 29, two days before they go on sale.

Fans can purchase four tickets each.

Given the excitement this announcement has generated and the long time since the band last played together, some fans will likely be willing to pay extremely high prices.

Before the announcement of their reunion on Tuesday, rumors had been circulating that Oasis could headline the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury for the third time as part of their return next summer, having done so in 1995 and 2004.

So what’s going on? The band have described the stadium dates as their “only European shows,” effectively ruling out Glastonbury.

The Somerset Music Festival was not mentioned at all in the press release or social media posts about the tour.

An Oasis spokesman confirmed to BBC News on Tuesday afternoon that the band would not play at Glastonbury.

However, this has not stopped fans from having new hopes.

Oasis’ schedule finally allowed it. The festival will take place at the end of June before they embark on the first leg of their world tour of the UK in July.

The line-up for Glastonbury has not yet been finalised and surprise appearances are not unusual. The band may see it as a chance to make amends after their poorly received headline performance in 2004.

In later conversations, Liam admitted that he “hated” the gig and blamed the use of in-ear monitors for him not being in good shape.

“I’ve always enjoyed Glastonbury. The only time I didn’t like it was when I was wearing a white jacket,” he told BBC 6 Music’s Matt Everitt in 2019.

“I didn’t enjoy it because that was when I started using in-ears (monitors for listening to music) and that slowed me down for 15 years. I hated that job, man.”

Oasis were formed in Manchester in 1991 – their original line-up consisted of Liam and Noel, guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, bassist Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan and drummer Tony McCarroll.

However, the line-up changed over the years (scroll down for more details) before the band performed for the last time at the V Festival in 2009.

Bonehead and Liam remained friends and the guitarist accompanied Liam on some of his shows.

It is not yet clear who fans will see on the tour other than the Gallagher brothers. BBC News has asked the organizer for clarification.

The band officially split up in 2009 after an argument backstage at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Noel explained two years later that Liam had tried to attack him with his guitar during an argument.

He claimed the dispute began after he prevented Liam from promoting his clothing brand on the V Festival programme, where the two were due to perform.

Liam said in 2017 that he felt unfairly scapegoated by Noel and had to take the blame for the band’s breakup.

But problems had already begun to arise before the incident at the festival: the couple could not agree on the artistic direction of their last album “Dig Out Your Soul”, which was released in 2008.

Many fans will be curious to see how the relationship between the brothers will develop 15 years after their separation.

When it was founded in 1991, the group initially consisted of five members.

They included Paul Arthurs on guitar, Paul McGuigan on bass and Tony McCarroll on drums – with Liam Gallagher on lead vocals and Noel on lead guitar and vocals.

McCarroll was replaced by Alan White in 1995 and Arthurs and McGuigan were replaced by Gem Archer and Andy Bell in 1999.

White then left the band in 2004 and was replaced by Zac Starkey, making way for Chris Sharrock in 2008.

The remaining band members continued with Liam Gallagher and formed the new band Beady Eye, which disbanded in 2014.

It is not known which, if any, of the former band members will join Liam and Noel on tour next year.

A statement from the band read: “The guns are silent. The stars are aligned. The long wait is over. Come and see it. It won’t be televised.”

Only those who were in the same room with Noel and Liam – aged 57 and 51 respectively – when they decided to get back together will know the real reason for their reconciliation.

Many wrote them off and said it was unlikely they would ever play together again – especially after Noel refused to appear on stage with Liam at One Love Manchester after the city was rocked by the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert.

The cynical answer, of course, is that 14 big shows (more to be announced) will bring the band a lot of revenue.

Based on Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour,” they could earn around £14 million per concert.
