Oasis Returns: The Brothers Gallagher Make History with Live '25 Tour
If you thought an Oasis reunion was just wishful thinking, think again. After more than a decade apart, Noel and Liam Gallagher are coming together for the Oasis reunion everyone thought would never happen. Fans around the globe have been scrambling for a chance to see the iconic band play again, with the much-hyped Live '25 tour launching July 4, 2025, at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. For longtime followers, it's the stuff of dreams. For newcomers, it's a history lesson unfolding in real time.
Oasis last performed together in 2009. The new tour not only reunites Noel and Liam on stage but drags most of the classic lineup back into the limelight. Gem Archer, Andy Bell, and Chris Sharrock are all signed up, with Joey Waronker stepping in on drums for Tony McCarroll. That’s about as authentic as it gets without a time machine.
The response has been explosive. Ticket sales set off something close to bedlam: 14 million hopeful fans swarmed the digital queues hoping to snag one of the 1.4 million available passes. Most music tours don’t see these numbers in their wildest dreams. That demand forced the band to extend the run far beyond the UK. Now, North America, South America, Australia, and Asia are all getting a taste. Those who missed out in the first round might just get another shot—if you’re quick on the refresh button.
But all the chaos didn’t come without hiccups. The scramble exposed some real frustrations. Dynamic pricing meant some tickets shot up well above face value in the UK, and tech glitches left plenty of people empty-handed. Add on sky-high reseller fees and you can imagine the complaints burning up online forums. Interestingly, international shows dodged the worst of that with more traditional pricing schemes.
Behind the Scenes: Oasis Remains Unpredictable
Fans hoping the brothers have buried the hatchet will hear a different tune backstage. The promotional trailer—the Outlaw Tour 2025 Official Trailer—gave everyone a big, glossy tease of Noel and Liam standing on the same stage. The reality is a little messier. Even with all this excitement, they’re being kept firmly apart out of the spotlight. Separate VIP zones, separate after-parties, and carefully plotted logistics are in place, all designed to keep their notorious feud from boiling over. It’s basically 1995 all over again, just with better security.
Oasis is leaning into nostalgia—in a big way. Manager Alec McKinlay has been clear there are no plans for new music, and there won’t be another tour after this. He’s not kidding around. This tour is being billed as the absolute ‘last chance’ to see the band together, playing hits from the albums that made them legends. Expect to hear anthems like "Wonderwall," "Champagne Supernova," and "Don’t Look Back in Anger," sitting right alongside deeper cuts that only die-hards remember.
The excitement isn’t limited to just Oasis. The tour is dragging along some serious support. Cast and Richard Ashcroft (the voice of The Verve) will be opening for the band at select shows. Cage the Elephant and Ball Park Music will join in on other dates, making sure every gig is packed with energy from start to finish. Since the announcement, Oasis’s music has charged back up the charts—songs like "Live Forever" are suddenly climbing the UK listings again, as if the whole country just remembered how much they loved them.
If you’re hoping to catch one final singalong before Oasis returns to the vault, this is it. The countdown to July 2025 is officially on. Time to dig out the bucket hats and parkas.
