It comes as millions of people race to secure tickets to their highly anticipated reunion tour.
On Monday, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher announced they had settled their 15-year-long feud to reunite Oasis, with 14 dates including two nights in Dublin next summer.
Tickets are set to go on sale on Saturday, with the Irish dates going first at 8am and the UK tickets going on sale at 9am.
On Tuesday, the band announced a pre-sale ballot, which is running until 7pm on today, with devoted fans of the brothers able to sign up to hopefully gain access to tickets for the gigs early.
They also confirmed, despite massive speculation, they would not be playing Glastonbury or “any other festivals next year”.

The potential cost of the tickets — reportedly set to be around £80-100 — has raised eyebrows among Northern Ireland fans, who would also be forced to shell out further funds for accommodation and potential flights to GB shows.
Oasis diehard Nick McCay from Belfast revealed he is planning to spend up to £5,000 to see the pair, admitting he’s not missing the chance to see Liam and Noel on stage together again.
“I have a credit card that I am not afraid to use,” said Nick.
“If it’s £5,000, it’s £5,000.”

Nick, who performs in an Oasis cover band, said he will be getting tickets for as many gigs as possible on Saturday.
Some fans have reportedly had their pre-bookings cancelled at hotels in the wake of the tour announcement. At the time of writing, the cheapest hotel in the Croke Park area on the first night Oasis’ Dublin gig will set you back around £300.

The Maldron Hotel chain has faced criticism after they were accused of cancelling rooms to increase prices — including Co Meath’s David O’Gorman, whose room booking was cancelled.
On Tuesday, he booked a room at the Maldron Hotel Manchester City Centre for roughly £90 for July 20, 2025, with the hope he would also be able to secure a ticket to see Oasis perform in Manchester that night.
However, at 8.15pm on Tuesday he received an email from the hotel which said: “Due to a technical error, you have received a confirmation for a booking that was not successfully made. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate your booking at this time.”
The hotel later said a “technical error with our booking system” meant more rooms were booked than were available.
“As a result, we are unable to honour all bookings made on these dates, and we are actively engaging with customers regarding their bookings,” a spokesperson said.
“The hotels are currently not taking any bookings while we investigate the issue.
“This is not an attempt to resell rooms at inflated prices, rather an overbooking issue due to a technical error with our booking systems.
“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

Nick said he would be willing to take any “plane, train or automobile” to see the Gallaghers, but said he plans on avoiding extensive hotel costs by driving in between each gig.
“I don’t imagine hotels will be an issue, I’ll be driving about to make it work. I’ll be ensuring to get as many tickets as possible for all the gigs,” he said.
“I’m a super fan, I’ve seen Oasis 37 times in total, and they have always been my favourite band.
“I just want to be able to experience them again together, as many times as possible. I will.
“I can’t miss it, it’s just not a possibility, nothing is off limits for me, and quite simply, I will be doing anything that it takes to get to see them.”
Nick said he will attempt to get Dublin tickets when they go on sale first – and then will divert his attention to the England, Scotland and Wales gigs.

He is also particularly keen to get tickets to the Cardiff gig on July 5, which kicks off the reunion tour and marks the first time the pair will be on stage together for over 15 years.
Many people have speculated given the brothers’ fraught relationship that the entire tour may not go ahead, leading to many people putting Cardiff as their first preference.
The tickets have yet to go on sale, but are already courting controversy after an error with their presale ballot.
In a message to fans today, Oasis said: “We are aware that many of you are still waiting on a confirmation email.
“Rest assured they are on their way, as we process an unprecedented volume of entries.”
