Oasis is reportedly on the verge of announcing a second major international tour, just days after Liam and Noel Gallagher are expected to begin teasing new dates. This follows the extraordinary success of their initial comeback shows, which saw tickets sell out rapidly and sparked renewed fan fervor.
The announcement will mark a significant new chapter for the band, which disbanded in 2009 after a notorious backstage argument between the Gallagher brothers at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Their reunion in August 2024 ended years of estrangement and generated unprecedented demand for live performances.
The initial run of 14 shows in Britain and Ireland was extended multiple times due to what the band described as "phenomenal" demand. However, the sale of tickets was met with fan complaints regarding long online queues and significant price increases for some tickets, prompting an investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority.
Despite ticketing controversies, the band's comeback concerts, which began in July last year at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, were met with an overwhelming reception. The tour spanned the globe, including multiple sold-out nights at Manchester's Heaton Park and London's Wembley Stadium, before concluding across North America, Asia, Australia, and South America.
Sources indicate that the planning for the new tour has been underway for some time. Unlike the initial reunion, there is reportedly less apprehension about inter-band dynamics, with the focus now on looking forward to performing. "Oasis-mania is coming back!" a source told the Daily Mail.
The impending tour announcement coincides with the release of the official trailer for the documentary "Oasis: Don't Look Back In Anger." Set to premiere in cinemas worldwide on September 11, the film chronicles the lead-up to the Oasis Live '25 reunion tour. The documentary features the Gallagher brothers' first joint interview in over two decades, with Noel Gallagher expressing initial doubts about performing with Liam again due to past tensions. Liam Gallagher stated in the trailer that "We have a chance to change the narrative of the band."
The documentary, produced by Steven Knight, will also be available on Hulu and Disney+ in the U.S. later this year. Oasis originally split after years of public feuds, walk-outs, and arguments between the brothers, culminating in Noel Gallagher's departure in 2009, citing "verbal and violent intimidation" and a lack of support from management and bandmates as reasons for his exit.
