It turns out the Oasis reunion tour was a good idea, as the nearly 35-year-old act has added several new dates amid “unprecedented demand.”
Oasis took to social media to reveal those new 2025 shows: a July 16th performance at Heaton Park in the band’s native Manchester, a July 30th concert at Wembley Stadium in London, and an August 12th stop at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium.
The general onsale for these and other tickets is set to kick off on Saturday, and it’s unclear whether the UK reunion tour will gain different dates down the line. But as mentioned (and though it perhaps goes without saying given that the concert series was only announced days ago), the available evidence points to strong commercial demand.
However, as more than a few fans have found out the hard way, this demand naturally presents opportunities for profit-minded scalpers. Ticketmaster promptly implemented a seemingly strict limit of four tickets per customer, though it remains to be seen whether the move will prevent supporters from forking over massive sums for resale passes when all is said and done.
As things stand, many prospective attendees appear less than thrilled with the face-value prices behind the tour.
“If you can justify those Oasis prices then fair play to you,” weighed in one observer. “Just gone through my old ticket stubs and worked out I paid less than a ‘Premium Standing Package’ to see Oasis, Beady Eye, NGHFB, and Liam. Might be tempted by £100 if I’m not in Wembley car park, but probably a no.”
The fan’s uploaded ticket-stub photos do, in fact, appear to show that the four concerts – a 2009 show from Oasis proper, a 2011 concert from Liam Gallagher’s Beady Eye, a 2012 set from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, and a solo gig from Liam about three months ago – cost a bit less in total than one Premium Standing Package pass to the reunion tour.
In any event, different fans yet are making clear their eagerness to see the Gallagher brothers perform together, and this anticipation is also driving listenership spikes on streaming platforms including Spotify. At present, “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and “Live Forever” are all occupying top-10 spots on the UK’s daily Spotify chart.
Meanwhile, Apple Music is giving Definitely Maybe the spatial audio treatment; Oasis noted on Twitter/X today that the debut project, released 30 years ago to the day, had been “meticulously adapted for spatial audio by Grammy award-winning producer Ryan Hewitt.”
