Oasis, the iconic rock band that defined the Britpop era of the 1990s, is reportedly planning a reunion tour in 2025. Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, the band’s founding members, sparked excitement among fans by hinting at a major announcement on Tuesday. This comes after the pair posted cryptic messages featuring the date “27.08.24” and “8am” in the style of the band’s logo on their social media accounts.
The reunion would mark a significant moment in music history, as Oasis has been on hiatus since 2009 when Noel, the lead guitarist and primary songwriter, left the band due to ongoing tensions with his brother, Liam, the charismatic frontman. The split ended the band’s remarkable run that began with their 1994 debut album “Definitely Maybe,” a record that became an instant classic and catapulted them to global stardom.
According to reports from The Sunday Times, the reunion tour is expected to include major shows at Heaton Park in Manchester, where Oasis was formed in 1991, and at Wembley Stadium in London during the summer of 2025. There are also rumors of a headline performance at the Glastonbury Festival, further fueling anticipation among fans.
The timing of the tour is significant, as it coincides with the 30th anniversary of Oasis’s second album, “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” Released in 1995, the album features some of the band’s most iconic tracks, including “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” The release of the single “Roll with It” from this album led to a famous chart battle with rival Britpop band Blur, whose track “Country House” narrowly beat Oasis to the number one spot. Despite this, “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” went on to sell over 22 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album of the 1990s in the UK and establishing Oasis as a major force in the United States.
The potential reunion is especially intriguing given the long-standing rivalry between the Gallagher brothers. Known for their public spats and clashes, both on and off stage, the brothers have maintained a turbulent relationship over the years. Liam’s recent dedication of the Oasis track “Half the World Away” to Noel during his set at the Reading Festival has only added to the speculation that the duo may finally be ready to put their differences aside for the sake of the band’s legacy.
As fans eagerly await official confirmation of the reunion, the prospect of Oasis returning to the stage after more than a decade has reignited excitement for one of the most influential bands in modern rock history. If the rumors prove true, the 2025 tour could be a defining moment for a generation of music lovers.
