Oasis reunion 2025: reports emerge over whether more UK and Ireland dates will be added after demand

Must read

Reports have emerged over whether Oasis fans in the UK and Ireland can look forward to additional dates. Spoiler alert: don’t hold your breath.

The Mirror shared today (September 1) that the band is confirmed to only perform 17 dates in the region, which have since sold out – all before flying off to continue the 2025 tour in other parts of the world.

The reunited duo, comprising brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, previously confirmed that plans are underway to add tour dates in other continents after completing the UK and Ireland leg.

With gigs scheduled for Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Dublin’s Croke Park, and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium (and extra dates announced mid-week due to “unprecedented demand”), fans clawed their way to get tickets on Ticketmaster yesterday morning (August 31) at 9am.

With Ticketmaster crashing shortly before tickets were due to go live and a giant queue to contend with, social media users were left wondering if they’d even get their tickets in the first place. Some that did eventually manage to get through the queue were then disappointed to see the cost of remaining tickets had increased due to Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing policy.

Elsewhere, some fans complained about being kicked out of the queue after being mistaken for bots, while those attempting to purchase accessible tickets reported being unable to get through to the phone lines, despite some fans calling the designated number over 400 times. Oasis announced tickets had officially sold out at 7pm the same day.

To ease concerns over buying tickets in the secondhand market, Oasis have partnered with resale platform Twickets where fans can buy unwanted tickets for no more than face value (plus booking fees).

The Britpop band announced their mighty return with a slew comeback gigs on Tuesday (August 27). Dubbed Oasis Live ’25, it will see the Gallagher brothers perform on stage together for the first time in 16 years.

The band have yet to reveal who’ll complete the line-up alongside Liam and Noel, but newspaper reports claim that “no other original Oasis member is expected to join the reunion” and that “the members of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will step in for the concerts”. However, reports have surfaced that former band member Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs will return to the band for the tour.

Former drummer Tony McCaroll revealed in a recent interview that he isn’t sure if he’ll be a part of the forthcoming tour, saying: “’They haven’t reached out yet and to be honest I’m not holding my breath.”
