Oasis Is Going On Tour – Here’s How To Get Tickets

A brief history of the tumultuous band
Back in 1996, Britpop band Oasis performed its biggest shows to date at Knebworth Park, performing to over 500,000 fans over two days (250,000 fans each night on 10 and 11 August 1996). Back then, the face value of tickets was £22.50, and more than two percent of the UK population attempted to get their hands on them. Twenty-eight years later, in August 2024, Oasis tickets will once again go on sale for performances one year later. Here’s how to get your hands on tickets, plus a look back on the band’s tumultuous journey up to now.
Is Oasis Going On Tour?
It’s official: Liam and Noel are officially reuniting Oasis and heading off on tour in summer 2025. The band commented an elusive, poetic series of sentences: ‘The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.’
The band confirmed they will be visiting Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin across 14 dates after much speculation over the August bank holiday weekend. On Sunday 25 August, Liam took to X to share ‘I never did like that word FORMER,’ referring to his status as a former member of the band Oasis.
The band has since added five more dates, but has emphasised that these UK&I dates would be ‘their only shows in Europe next year’, though there are plans to bring ‘OASIS LIVE ‘25’ to ‘other continents outside Europe later next year’.

How To Get Tickets
The initial run of Oasis ticket sales has now closed. However, following a colossal demand for tickets, Oasis have announced they are adding two extra shows at Wembley, which will take place on 27 and 28 September 2025. These will be available via a ‘staggered invitation-only ballot process’, and applications to join will be available first for the fans who were unsuccessful in the initial sale with Ticketmaster. There’s no word yet on when this sale will take place.
There has been a backlash over pricing for the tour, which saw some tickets costing more than double due to ‘in demand’ pricing. Oasis responded to this, saying it needed ‘to be made clear’ the band ‘leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used’.
Why Did Oasis Break Up?
Oasis officially broke up in 2009 as the long-standing rivalry between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher came to a head. On 28 August 2009, before a scheduled performance at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris, an argument broke out between the brothers backstage. Details have never been revealed as to what was said – though we know the altercation ended with a smashed guitar – but it led to Noel quitting the band entirely. The effect was immediate: Oasis did not take to the stage that night, and they have never performed together since. Noel expressed his exit publicly, calling Liam ‘intolerable’ and stating: ‘I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.’
This was, of course, a pivotal moment: Oasis had a tumultuous career up until 2009, with a rocky relationship between the brothers at the centre of the band due to rivalry, creative differences and mental strain leading to tension, frustration and physical and verbal spats. Way back in 1994, for example, Noel briefly quit the band after Liam changed the lyrics in a song, while in 1995, Noel reportedly hit Liam with a cricket bat during a recording session. In 1996, Noel walked out on Oasis mid-tour following a physical altercation with Liam, and a famously violent fight broke out between the brothers in 2000 after Liam alleged Noel wasn’t the legitimate father of his son. Noel and Liam frequently exchanged insults, both in public and private, and their brotherly conflict and rivalry became a large part of Oasis’s identity; a split never seemed final – or perhaps even real – until Noel’s departure in 2009.

What Was Oasis’s Last Performance?
While no one knew it at the time, Oasis’s final performance was their 2009 appearance at V Festival in Stafford. The performance took place a week before the band was scheduled to appear at Rock en Seine, which would later be cancelled minutes before the band was supposed to take to the stage due to the pivotal backstage brawl between the Gallagher brothers.
Will Oasis Headline Glastonbury?
No, Oasis has confirmed the band will not perform at Glastonbury in 2025 – or any other festivals for that matter. ‘The only way to see the band perform will be on their Oasis Live ’25 World Tour,’ the band confirmed in a statement.
