After a 15-year feud, Noel and Liam Gallagher have finally reconciled to reunite Oasis.
For years, Noel Gallagher seemed determined to keep Oasis in the past. After quitting the band in 2009, he often spoke of the difficult decision, explaining that ending the band was the best choice for everyone involved.
The split only added to Oasis’s legendary status, leaving fans wondering if the brothers would ever make amends.
Despite frequent rumors and Liam’s public desire to bring Oasis back, the reunion always seemed out of reach, with Noel content in his solo career.
In 2022, Liam’s solo performances at Knebworth—where Oasis once made history—fueled speculation, but Noel remained distant.
The brothers’ rivalry has always been central to Oasis’s dynamic. While Liam often teased a comeback on social media, Noel maintained that their separation was necessary, highlighting his role as the band’s primary songwriter.
However, whispers of a reunion grew louder, particularly after Noel’s separation from his wife in 2023. Liam’s hints on social media and Noel’s recent praise for his brother’s voice suggested that the long-awaited reconciliation might be near.
This week, the announcement came: Oasis is back. While details remain scarce, the news has sparked immense excitement among fans. The question now is whether this reunion will lead to new music or simply a series of electrifying live shows to remind fans of their hits and keep them in a reminiscing mood.
Oasis is an English rock band that was formed in Manchester in 1991. The original lineup featured Liam Gallagher as the lead vocalist, Paul Arthurs on guitar, Paul McGuigan on bass, and Tony McCarroll on drums. A few months later, Liam invited his older brother, Noel Gallagher, to join as the lead guitarist and vocalist, completing the band’s lineup. Noel quickly assumed the role of the band’s leader and took charge of songwriting for their first four albums.
Heavily influenced by the Beatles and other British Invasion bands from the 1960s, Oasis became one of the most iconic and globally successful groups of the 1990s Britpop movement. They defined an era of raw energy and optimism.
As they prepare to return, the stakes are high, but the potential for joy is even higher. Whether this will mark a new chapter in Oasis’s legacy or a final victory lap remains to be seen. What’s certain is that the music that shaped a generation is about to make a comeback, and fans—old and new—are ready.
They initially announced a run of 14 shows in the UK and Ireland next summer and recently announced three additional concert dates for their highly anticipated reunion tour in the UK next year, following overwhelming demand from fans.
The band revealed that the extra gigs were added due to “unprecedented demand” during ticket pre-sale registration.
To accommodate fans concerned about not receiving confirmation emails, the band has also extended the pre-sale entry deadline to 10 am UK time on Friday. Successful entrants will be notified by 5 pm the following day with information on how to access tickets.
This reunion marks the first time the band will perform together in 15 years.
The new concert dates include shows on July 16 at Heaton Park in Manchester, July 30 at Wembley Stadium in London, and August 12 at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.
These additions bring the total number of concerts to five at Wembley, five in Manchester, and three in Scotland, along with two shows each in Ireland and Wales.
