After much speculation, Liam and Noel Gallagher have confirmed that Oasis are set to reunite with a worldwide tour in 2025.
The Manchester-formed group, 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.

Tickets for UK dates go on sale from 9am on Saturday, with Dublin tickets available from 8am the same day. There are also plans for dates outside Europe.

Noel, 57, quit the group back in August 2009, saying he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer". It's thought that their disbandment was prompted by a disagreement during the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

During their career, they famously played to 125,000 people each night during two shows at Knebworth, whilst in 1995 and 2004, they performed headline sets at Glastonbury. Beyond this, they've performed a string of shows at Manchester City's Maine Road stadium and Wembley Stadium which were documented in the live album 'Familiar To Millions'.

Since their split, Noel and Liam have enjoyed successful solo careers. Liam has performed as a singer-songwriter, whilst Noel has performed with his band, the High Flying Birds.

The clip was also shown at the end of Liam's headline set at Reading festival this weekend, where he dedicated their 1994 B-side Half the World Away to Noel, and 1994's Cigarettes & Alcohol to people who he said hate Oasis. It was also shown after Blossoms played Wythenshawe park in Manchester this weekend.
