It was one of the best kept secrets in the music industry. Over a year ago, I first started to hear rumblings that Noel and Liam Gallagher would be getting their band back together for a long-awaited reunion tour. Then, on Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. UK time, the news officially broke: Oasis will reunite for a world tour dubbed Oasis Live ‘25 beginning with an initial 14 shows across the UK and Ireland next summer. Plans are also reportedly underway to add additional shows outside Europe later next year.
Not since the shock release of new music from David Bowie in 2013, after nearly a decade of creative silence, has a major artist kept such massive news a secret. Keenly orchestrated, the timing could not have been more perfect.
It’s 30 years this week since Oasis’ debut album Definitely Maybe hit record store shelves, and 15 years since the bust-up between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher in a Paris dressing room led to Noel quitting the band he’d steered to world domination and record sales in excess of 41 million in the U.S. alone.
