The highly anticipated Oasis reunion tour has been officially confirmed with bassist Andy Bell, who previously played with the band from 1999 to 2009 and later with Liam Gallagher’s post-Oasis project Beady Eye, announcing his involvement. Bell expressed his enthusiasm in an interview with Austrian newspaper Oe24, stating, “I’m in and I’m really looking forward to it.” He is expected to be joined by fellow Beady Eye bandmate Gem Archer, guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, and drummer Joey Waronker, forming the live band.

The reunion tour is set to include 41 dates in 2025, commencing in the UK and Ireland in July before expanding across multiple continents. Support acts confirmed for the tour include Cast, Richard Ashcroft, Cage The Elephant, and Ball Park Music. The band, led by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, has already sold out three shows at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on August 8, 9, and 12. The demand for tickets was immense, with 10 million people from over 100 countries attempting to purchase them, leading to a record-time sell-out.

Despite earlier social media posts from Liam Gallagher teasing the completion of a new album and expressing his awe for Noel’s new material, the band’s manager, Alec McKinlay, has firmly shut down such speculation. McKinlay unequivocally stated, “No, there’s no plan for any new music,” and clarified that this reunion is “very much the last time around,” serving primarily as an opportunity for fans to see the band live once more. He also ruled out the possibility of additional tour dates. McKinlay highlighted the meticulous secrecy surrounding the comeback announcement, noting the “phenomenal” global reaction when it was finally revealed. However, more recent whispers from the band’s official photographer, Kevin Cummins, have suggested a potential new studio album after a 17-year hiatus, citing Noel's continuous songwriting and Liam's vocal suitability for his brother's compositions.

The tour has not been without controversy, particularly concerning ticket sales. The UK competition watchdog, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), has threatened Ticketmaster with legal action over alleged “misleading” sales methods. Concerns include the sale of ‘platinum’ tickets at significantly inflated prices (up to 2.5 times the face value, with some reaching over £350 for a £150 ticket) without providing any additional benefits or being located in superior areas. Furthermore, Ticketmaster is accused of failing to inform consumers about two distinct price categories for standing tickets, reportedly selling cheaper tickets first before releasing more expensive ones.
