One of the most famous rock bands from the 1990s is reuniting and ending a sibling feud with Oasis announcing a 14-date 2025 tour for the U.K. and Ireland. The tour could be one of the most anticipated and help several entertainment-related companies.
What Happened: While the new Oasis tour may not eclipse the record-breaking tour success of Taylor Swift, for fans of a different genre it could be one of the most highly anticipated reunions of the last 20 years.
"There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion — just the gradual realization that the time is right," a press release from the band read, as reported by Variety.
The brothers (Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher) said the timing of the announcement coincides with the 30th anniversary of their debut album "Definitely Maybe," which celebrates the milestone on Thursday. The tour taking place in 2025 will coincide with the band's second album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" hitting the 30th anniversary milestone.
Both those records and the band's third album were released on Creation Records, now a unit of Sony Group Corp (NYSE:SONY). The albums and songs on the records could see a sharp uplift in sales and listens with the news of the reunion announcement.
"The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised," the band said of the tour.
Tickets go on sale Aug. 31 at 9 a.m. local time (BST). Tickets will be sold through Ticketmaster for U.K. and Ireland shows and through Gigsandtours.com and seetickets.com. Ticketmaster, a unit of Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE:LYV), could get a boost from being one of the prominent ticket sellers.
Here are the 14 tour dates for Oasis in 2025:
Why It's Important: While the 14 dates are in the U.K. and Ireland, the band said plans are underway for a tour outside of Europe next year, according to the press release.
The band broke up in 2009 after Noel Gallagher left the band ahead of a festival appearance. The brothers had a tense relationship since that time with many comments pointing to no chance of ever reconciling or touring again.
Oasis said they do not plan to go into the studio to make new music, but the tour of old songs should be more than enough for fans who have waited 15 years to see them.
Both brothers have toured outside the band and often play Oasis hits. Liam Gallagher recently kicked off a 30th anniversary tour for "Definitely Maybe" in June.
The band remains popular today with an average of 21.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify. While the band says the tour will not be televised, a live performance or docuseries on the tour could attract strong interest from media companies.
