The legendary band has already confirmed a series of stadium dates in the UK and Ireland next year, including four nights at Wembley and four nights in Manchester.
The announcement came after days of teasing from the pair, which saw a short clip of a sign in the style of the Oasis logo shared to both of their Instagram accounts on Sunday night, forecasting an announcement this morning at 8am.
The brothers will be joined by guitarist Bonehead, who was part of the band’s original 1991 lineup. Some members of Noel’s High Flying Birds will also be featured on the tour.
The band will play Cardiff Principality Stadium on July 4 and 5; Manchester Heaton Park on July 11, 12, 19 and 20; London Wembley Stadium on July 25, 26, August 2 and 3; Edinburgh Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on August 8 and 9, with the tour finishing at Dublin Croke Park on August 16 and 17.

Legendary guitarist joins line-up
Bonehead has been confirmed to join Noel and Liam Gallagher on their highly anticipated 14-date tour.
The guitarist featured in the 90-second teaser video on the bands socials and was described by a source as being "ecstatic" at the reunion.
Bonehead, real name Paul Arthurs, was part of the original 1991 line-up.
The 59-year-old is close pals with the brothers and played on Liam’s Definitely Maybe tour this summer after overcoming tonsil cancer in 2023.

Liz Ziegler, fraud prevention director at Lloyds Bank, said: “Hot on the heels of Taylor Swift’s record-breaking UK tour, fraudsters will be eagerly anticipating another run of sell-out shows next summer.
“Missing out on these landmark gigs would be devastating for Oasis fans who have waited so long for this reunion. But you can be sure that criminals are getting ready to ‘slide away’ with their hard-earned cash.
“Most of these scams begin on social media, where impostors create fake profiles to sell non-existent tickets. The simple rule for fans is always stick to official ticketing platforms and avoid deals which look too good to be true.”

- What if I decide to use an unauthorised platform to look for or sell tickets?
Selling tickets through unauthorised resale platforms will breach the terms and conditions and tickets may be cancelled. People can also run the risk of being scammed by going through unofficial routes.
Scammers will piggyback onto popular events and earlier this year, Lloyds Bank estimated that fans of Taylor Swift had lost more than £1 million to ticket scammers ahead of her UK tour.

- Will age restrictions be in place?
Restrictions will differ between venues, so concert-goers may want to check for restrictions at the location they are planning to attend. Some venues, for example, do not allow children aged under five in reserved seating. Venues may also have rules around younger people needing to be accompanied by an adult.
- What if I need to re-sell my ticket?
Fans who can no longer attend the shows will be able to resell their tickets via Twickets or Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan. Organisers say fans should only use official resale platforms. Ticket resales will be allowed at no more than the price that was paid – its face value plus booking fees.

- Is there any way to boost my chances of getting a ticket?
Organisers have suggested that fans should sign up to official ticket agents ahead of time as websites will be very busy when tickets go on sale.
- How many tickets can I buy?
There is a limit of four tickets per household, per show. Organisers say only tickets bought through approved agents will be valid.
Here are the full dates for next summer:
- Cardiff Principality Stadium on July 4 and 5
- Manchester Heaton Park on July 11, 12, 19 and 20
- London Wembley Stadium on July 25, 26, August 2 and 3
- Edinburgh Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on August 8 and 9

Tickets for the UK dates go on sale this Saturday, August 31, at 8am (IST) for the Dublin shows, and 9am (BST) for the UK shows, and are available from Ticketmaster, Ticketmaster.ie, SeatUnique and gigsandtours.com.
How to join the pre-sale ballot
Tickets go on sale this Saturday at 9am, but fans can register for a pre-sale happening on Friday.
The ballot to enter the pre-sale opened last night and will remain open until 7pm BST this evening.
A post on their official Instagram account said: "To ensure the maximum number of fans have a fair opportunity to access tickets, applicants will be selected for the pre-sale via a ballot.
"Ballot registration is open now and will close at 7pm BST, this Wednesday 28th August. Register via the link in bio.
"Successful applicants will receive an email with full access information the morning of Friday 30th August.
"Success in the ballot will not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis."
However, some fans have reported difficulties signing up, with the band warning of potential delays in receiving confirmation emails.
Who is likely to support Oasis on their UK shows next year?
Fans have started speculating who will appear with Oasis – and Sam Fender, Fontaines D.C., Blossoms and Kasabian are all on the wish list.
Kasabian would be a natural choice, with Bonehead sharing a pic backstage at Reading last weekend with Serge Pizzorno from the band.
Historic day for the Gallaghers
Following the weekend's tease of an Oasis reunion, Atlético Madrid joined in on the excitement, joking it was a "historic day for the Gallaghers" after England international Conor Gallagher made his La Liga debut.
Inside the Gallaghers' Secret Reunion
Liam and Noel Gallagher secretly reunited for the first time in years to plan an Oasis comeback.
On July 24th, fans noticed that Liam Gallagher hinted at something big in the works when he replied to a fan saying he had a photoshoot scheduled for the day.
"There's big things happening, but I can't tell you. It's so big, it's gonna blow your minds, and I've been sworn to secrecy. Sorry, hope you understand," Liam wrote.
Sources told The Sun that the atmosphere was "electric" when the siblings finally met in the same room.
Liam, 51, and Noel, 57, quietly came together for a historic photoshoot, which will accompany the posters for their upcoming tour next year.
“It has taken a lot to get them to this point, but they’re doing it for the fans,” the source added.

Here are the full dates for next summer:
- Cardiff Principality Stadium on July 4 and 5
- Manchester Heaton Park on July 11, 12, 19 and 20
- London Wembley Stadium on July 25, 26, August 2 and 3
- Edinburgh Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on August 8 and 9
- Dublin Croke Park on August 16 and 17
Insiders told The Sun that extra concerts will be announced once this run sells out.
Tickets for the UK dates go on sale this Saturday, August 31, at 8am (IST) for the Dublin shows, and 9am (BST) for the UK shows, and are available from Ticketmaster, Ticketmaster.ie and gigsandtours.com.
Will the band play Glastonbury?
It’s looking increasingly unlikely.
While music lovers are speculating Oasis will headline the Pilton festival due to the fact their confirmed tour dates arrive just after Glastonbury is due to take place – from 25 to 29 June 2025 – there was a surprise announcement.
Minutes after the dates in UK and Ireland were announced on the official site, Oasisnet – which fans crashed after trying to get information – it was updated to say: “These dates will be the band’s exclusive European appearances.”
This would appear to rule out a Glastonbury slot, with Bruce Springsteen, Rhianna and Eminem rumoured to be headlining.
More dates to come
Tickets for the highly anticipated Oasis reunion tour are set to go on sale this Saturday morning, with confirmed dates in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin.
Insiders have revealed to The Sun that additional concerts will be added once these initial dates sell out.
A total of 1,066,888 tickets will be available across 14 gigs, but demand is expected to be four times higher.

Buying tickets (5/final)
- What might happen in the event a gig is cancelled?
The general advice on Citizens Advice website about ticket sales is that, if someone has bought their ticket from an official seller, the organiser will tell consumers how to get a refund if an event is cancelled or rescheduled.
People can also check whether the seller is a member of the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers (Star).
Consumers may potentially have added protections depending on how they paid, for example if they paid by credit card they may be covered by Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act.
In general, when organising any concert, organisers may choose to have potential incidents written into their insurance policies that they could be covered for, if something did not go as planned.
