Oasis fans have gone wild on social media after the legendary rock band announced a mammoth tour around the UK and Ireland this morning.
After weeks of growing speculation about a comeback, Noel and Liam Gallagher finally put their 15-year feud on ice to announce they will be performing together again, 34 years after their first gig.
Excitement reached fever pitch on Sunday after the pair shared the same video, written in the Oasis style, teasing an announcement for Tuesday 8am. The same poster appeared on big screens as Liam finished his headline slot at Reading Festival on Sunday.
And this morning, the iconic Britpop band ended all speculation by confirming a string of concerts – which will not be televised – in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin for next summer.
Upon hearing the news, fans have taken to X to express their desperation for tickets, with some claiming they would ‘sell their house’ in order to be at one of the shows.

One fan said: ‘Don’t think I’ve been as stressed about anything in my life. A part of me will die if I don’t get a ticket. My dad told me to get a grip and that it isn’t the ‘second coming’ but f**** me, it is. Means everything.’
Another said: ‘How has this actually happened, lost for words.’, while one simply posted: ‘Time to sell the house.’
The 14-concert tour will run from July 4 to August 17, kicking off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium before the brothers pack out Heaton Park in Manchester, Wembley in London, Murrayfield in Edinburgh and Croke Park in Dublin.
Announcing the Oasis Live 25 tour today, the legendary band said: ‘The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.’
Following the announcement, fans were seen going into a meltdown, with many posting that it was ‘the best day ever’.
The Oasis website crashed immediately after the announcement as fans were sent into a frenzy. Tickets for the UK dates will go on sale from 9am on August 31, while Dublin tickets will be available for fans from 8am on the same day.

It’s understood the brothers buried the hatchet during a late night phone call to embark on a £50million reunion tour.
Today’s announcement comes before tracks from the first recording session for Oasis’s debut album Definitely Maybe are released on Friday, marking its 30-year anniversary.
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.
Their last concert together was at V Festival at Weston Park, Staffordshire, in August 2009. Days later, they cancelled the headline gig at the Rock en Seine festival following the argument.
Noel explained at the time: ‘It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.’
