LIAM and Noel Gallagher have announced that Oasis will reunite with a 14-date UK and Ireland tour next year – with two dates in Scotland.
The Britpop band, who split nearly 15 years ago and released their chart-topping album Definitely Maybe around three decades ago, announced the series of dates will kick off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
Oasis to play two Murrayfield dates
The Supersonic hitmakers will play Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on August 8 and 9, 2025.
They will also visit London and Manchester in the UK leg of the tour.
Tickets go on sale on Saturday, August 31 at 9am BST.
Confirming the Oasis Live 25 tour, they said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
Rumours escalated on Sunday evening after the pair shared the same video on social media, written in the Oasis style, teasing an announcement on Tuesday at 8am.

The same date and time appeared on big screens as Liam finished his headline slot at Reading Festival on Sunday.
Noel quit the Manchester rock group on August 28, 2009, saying he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer”.
Fans of the Manchester rock band have pleaded with the brothers to regroup since they disbanded in 2009, prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Liam has been touring the UK this summer on his Definitely Maybe tour to celebrate the 30 years since its release in 1994.
Noel has been absent from the concerts but during a show in Cardiff, Liam made a point of dedicating Half The World Away to his “little brother”, saying he is “still playing hard to get”.
Liam also played Oasis hits during his headline performance at Leeds Festival on Friday night.
Fans were also surprised to hear Noel pay Liam a string of compliments in an interview released last week with music journalist John Robb at Manchester’s Sifters Records in honour of the album’s 30th anniversary.
Reflecting on Liam’s performance on a number of their hits, Noel said: “It’s the delivery or the tone of his voice and the attitude.
“I don’t have the same attitude as him.”
He also jokingly compared Liam’s voice to “10 shots of tequila on a Friday night” and his own as “half a Guinness on a Tuesday”.
Formed in 1991, the Britpop group rose to fame with hits like Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Stop Crying Your Heart Out.
They went on to become one of the biggest bands in British music history before their break-up in 2009.
The brothers went on to have successful separate careers, with Noel fronting the group Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.
