Oasis is reuniting, ending a 15-year feud between brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher.
The ‘90s rock band announced a reunion tour on Tuesday, the 30th anniversary of their debut album “Definitely Maybe,” that will include 14 concerts in the UK next summer. Tickets go on sale Aug. 31 via Ticketmaster.
“There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion – just the gradual realization that the time is right,” the band said in a press release. “Yet the timing must be a subconscious influence. This Thursday represents 30 years to the day since their electrifying debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’ was released, while 2025 will see the equally essential second record ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?’ reach that same anniversary.”
Oasis was one of the biggest bands of the 1990s and defined the era’s Britpop scene with songs like “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Champagne Supernova,” “Stop Crying Your Heart Out,” “Live Forever,” and “Stand By Me.” The 1996 album, “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” featuring the Grammy-nominated hit “Wonderwall,” was one of the best selling albums of all time with an estimated 22 million copies sold worldwide.
The group split in 2009 after a tumultuous decade that saw Liam and Noel Gallagher frequently clashing in public and founding members Paul Arthurs (guitar) and Paul McGuigan (bass) leaving in 2000. Liam Gallagher and several Oasis band members continued performing as Beady Eye, while Noel Gallagher formed his own project, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.
“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” Oasis said in a statement.
No U.S. tour dates have been announced, but Variety reports Oasis is planning to tour outside of Europe next year.
