The music world is officially rocking its way back to the 90s, as the most iconic and notoriously feuding brothers in Britpop history have finally buried the hatchet. Oasis, the seminal Manchester band, has announced a full-scale reunion tour for 2025, sending shockwaves through the industry and thrilling millions of fans worldwide.
The monumental news was broken not with a whisper, but with the band's characteristic swagger, via a cryptic social media post that sent the internet into a frenzy. The upcoming tour will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their era-defining debut album, Definitely Maybe, promising a setlist packed with anthems that defined a generation.
From Bitter Feud to Brotherly Harmony?
For over a decade, the prospect of a Gallagher brothers reconciliation seemed more unlikely than a sunny day at a British festival. The pair's public spat has been the stuff of music legend, filled with vicious insults, cancelled tours, and a seemingly permanent rift.
Yet, sources close to the band suggest that time has indeed healed some wounds. The lure of commemorating three decades of their iconic music, coupled with the undeniable roar of fan demand, ultimately proved too powerful to ignore. While no one expects them to be sharing a pint backstage, a professional truce has clearly been called for the sake of the music.
The Tour: What We Know So Far
The global tour will kick off in a suitably massive fashion with a show at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This is just the beginning, with a string of stadium dates across North America and Europe to be announced imminently.
All eyes are now firmly fixed on the UK, with speculation running rampant that a homecoming performance at Knebworth – the scene of their legendary 1996 gigs – is a certainty. The announcement is expected to trigger a ticket scramble of historic proportions, reminiscent of their heyday.
A Setlist of Pure Nostalgia
Fans can expect a night of pure, unadulterated nostalgia. The tour is set to feature a powerhouse setlist dominated by classics from their first three albums. Imagine hearing the opening chords of 'Live Forever', screaming along to 'Cigarettes & Alcohol', and losing your voice during the chorus of 'Don't Look Back In Anger'.
This is more than just a tour; it's a cultural event. It’s a chance for those who were there the first time around to relive their youth, and for a new generation to witness the raw power and arrogance of one of Britain's greatest ever rock 'n' roll bands live on stage.
The message is simple: start saving your pennies, prepare your parka, and get ready. Oasis are back.
