The highly anticipated Oasis reunion tour is well underway, with bassist Andy Bell confirming his involvement. Bell, who previously played with Oasis from 1999 to 2009 and later with Liam Gallagher’s post-Oasis project Beady Eye, brings extensive experience to the live band. He confirmed his participation in an interview with Austrian newspaper Oe24, stating, “I’m in and I’m really looking forward to it. We’ll see each other on tour.” Bell is expected to be joined by his Beady Eye bandmate and longtime collaborator Gem Archer, along with Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs on guitar and drummer Joey Waronker, forming a formidable lineup for the comeback.

The tour is set for 41 dates in 2025, commencing with stadium shows across the UK and Ireland in July before extending to multiple continents. Esteemed support acts accompanying the band include Cast, Richard Ashcroft, Cage The Elephant, and Ball Park Music. A highlight of the tour includes three sold-out performances at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9, and 12. Tickets for these shows sold out in record time, with a staggering 10 million people from over 100 countries attempting to secure them, underscoring the immense global demand for the band's return.

Despite the overwhelming success and fan enthusiasm, Oasis’s manager, Alec McKinlay, has firmly addressed speculation regarding the band’s future. McKinlay, who also directs Ignition and Big Brother Recordings, has ruled out the release of any new material and dismissed rumors of additional tour dates. He unequivocally stated that this tour is “very much the last time around,” as Noel Gallagher has also indicated in the press, emphasizing it as a unique opportunity for fans, particularly those who have not seen the band before, to experience them live. McKinlay detailed the stringent measures taken to keep the comeback tour a secret during its planning stages, working with a limited, trusted group, and described the public’s “phenomenal” reaction to the announcement as a welcome source of “good news after all the nonsense that’s been going on in the world.” This directly contrasts with earlier social media posts from Liam Gallagher, who had teased fans about a “finished” new album and expressed being “blown away” by new material Noel had supposedly written.

Following the initial success of the tour’s launch, Noel and Liam Gallagher have been inundated with offers for future performances. These proposals include four substantial shows at Knebworth House next year, intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of their historic 1996 concerts at the venue. Additionally, a possible residency at the Etihad Stadium, home to their beloved Manchester City, has been rumored. International interest has also surfaced, with private bidders and major festivals like Coachella in the US and Benicassim in Spain reportedly extending offers. However, sources close to the band indicate that all such offers have been “stonewalled” so far. Noel and Liam are reportedly not considering any plans for 2026, opting instead for a “well-earned holiday” once the current tour concludes. The decision of whether to “draw a line in the sand and close the door on this chapter” or to “strike it up again and keep the magic going” ultimately rests with the brothers, acknowledging the profound cultural movement their reunion has sparked.

During the Scottish leg of the tour, Liam Gallagher revealed he had been banned from throwing his tambourine and maracas into the crowd at the end of gigs. This prohibition followed incidents at previous Wembley shows where “mindless blokes mobbed a female fan” to steal his maracas. Liam publicly addressed the ban during a performance at Murrayfield, attributing it to unruly fan behavior. He also used his stage time in Scotland to openly criticize Edinburgh Council Chiefs, branding them “f****** slags” after leaked documents reportedly called Oasis fans “fat, drunk, and rowdy.” Furthermore, Liam took a swipe at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, disparaging its acts, and claimed the band would inject “two billion pounds” into the city over a few days, an amount he implied the council would not see.
