Telling the publication: ‘They will announce four shows at Wembley Stadium today, along with a load more dates across the whole of the UK, including in Manchester which will be incredibly poignant for them’. 

‘Once the announcement is made and their fans are rushing out to buy the tickets, the hard work will start as they get ready to start performing together again.

‘It is something so many people never thought would happen. But now the brakes have been taken off ­and it’s going to be mad.’

MailOnline have contacted Noel and Liam’s reps for comment. 

During his headline slot at Reading Liam performed a number of Oasis hits from their debut album Definitely Maybe to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

Introducing Half The World Away – a 1994 B-side that also featured as the theme tune to sitcom The Royle Family – he told revellers: ‘I wanna dedicate this song to Noel f**king Gallagher.’

Liam continued to keep fans guessing by dedicating his rendition of Cigarettes & Alcohol at the Reading Festival to people who hate Oasis.

The track, written by his older brother, was the final single on their 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe.

As he closed the set, Liam suggested an announcement could be made on Tuesday at 8:00am. A short clip of a sign in the style of Oasis logo was projected on a large screen above the stage and subsequently shared to Oasis, Noel and Liam’s official Instagram and X accounts.

The white rectangular box which a black block in the centre had the date “27.08.24” written in the middle where the band’s name is usually seen. It then flickered and changed to read “8am”.

Oasis has been promised a payday of £50 million to reform and embark on a global tour, with Liam appearing to confirm the reunion.

The eye-watering sum is said to have convinced warring brothers Noel, 57, and Liam to bury the hatchet 15 years after they last appeared on stage together.

A music industry source previously said that the band’s reported ten nights at Wembley Stadium next summer, surpassing the eight-gig record recently set by Taylor Swift, would be a ‘tough ask’ at this stage of the year with bookings at the iconic London venue already at a near maximum.

‘There will be a run of dates at Wembley if the Oasis tour goes ahead, but it’s a bit late to confirm a run of 10 dates now,’ said a music industry source.

‘Instead the tour is likely to take in other big stadiums in London, and in Manchester. Heaton Park is another possibility up there, as is a repeat of Liam Gallagher’s more recent gigs at Knebworth.’

10 gigs at Wembley in 2025 would break Taylor Swift‘s recent record at the venue. 

The Cruel Summer songstress, 34, played eight shows at the north London venue to delighted crowds in June and August – making her the first solo artist to play the stadium that many times.

She told the screaming audience: ‘You have made me the first solo artist to play Wembley eight times on a single tour!’

Their fractious relationship came to a head in 2009, after a backstage fight in Paris led to Noel leaving the band.

In recent years, Liam has been keen to make amends with his brother and reform the iconic Britpop band, but his older brother poured cold water on the idea.

But after Noel’s £20m divorce from ex-wife Sara MacDonald last year, the elder Gallagher is said to have been persuaded of the financial merits of getting the band together for dates at Glastonbury and Wembley Stadium.

It is expected to be the most popular tour in British concert history, with industry insiders saying the deal negotiated between the brothers will net them £50 million. 

It comes as Liam sent Oasis fans into frenzy, as he appeared to confirm the Don’t Look Back In Anger singers would next year tour the country.

Asked on X, formerly Twitter, about the planned Oasis shows, Liam wrote: ‘See you down the front’.

He later told his 3.6m followers on the platform: ‘I never did like that word FORMER’.

Despite the thawing in their relations, the younger Gallagher couldn’t resist a dig at his brother. When asked what he would say to Noel when they return to the stage, he said: ‘Keep up’.
