Facts
- Liam and Noel Gallagher announced on Tuesday that the band Oasis will reunite for a tour next summer, with dates confirmed in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin. Tickets go on sale on Saturday with a presale on Friday.[1][2]
- According to an official statement, these will be their only shows in Europe next year. Plans are said to be underway for the reunion tour to later go to other continents, including the Americas.[3][4]
- The Manchester rock band rose to fame with its debut, 'Definitely Maybe,' in 1994. The album kicked off the Britpop era, and included songs such as 'Wonderwall' and 'Don't Look Back in Anger.'[5][6]
- This comes after Liam and Noel parted ways in the wake of a reported fight backstage before playing the Rock en Seine festival in Paris on Aug. 28, 2009.[7][8]
- Oasis' comeback is estimated to generate over £400M ($529M) in ticket sales and other add-ons, with each of the Gallaghers set to earn £50M ($66M), as well as precipitating a multi-million pound boost for the hospitality industry in the British Isles.[9][10][11]
- News outlets have reported that the band's reunion may have been influenced by Noel Gallagher's £20M divorce from Sara MacDonald in 2023.[12][13]

Narratives
- Narrative A, as provided by Sky News and Independent. The much-anticipated Oasis reunion has finally been announced after years of a funny — and frustrating — brotherly feud that amplified their legend, as their songs stood the test of time and the Gallaghers proved to be great artists in their solo careers. It is joyous for fans that this comes just in time to mark the 30th anniversary of the band's debut album.
- Narrative B, as provided by Spectator (UK) and Manchester Evening News. Given that their Britpop rivals Blur played well-received concerts last year, it's no surprise that the Gallaghers have decided to regroup. Oasis is certainly overrated, but the tour is set to sell out as their loyal working-class fanbase will flock by the hundreds of thousands. That's if the band doesn't break up again in advance of the reunion tour.
