Oasis Reunites for a Series of Lucrative Gigs
Oasis, the rock band at the heart of the 1990s Britpop scene, will reform for a series of lucrative gigs in the UK next year, ending a 16-year feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.
The pair announced on Tuesday that they would appear on stage for the first time since 2009 in a 14-date tour of the UK and Ireland in 2025. This announcement followed a weekend of fevered speculation among fans eager for the band's return.
Financial Windfall for the Brothers
The reunion is expected to be a financial windfall for the two brothers, whose solo music careers have struggled to match the popularity of Oasis. Despite regularly featuring old hits in their solo sets, nothing has compared to the band's footprint.
- Oasis has more than 21mn monthly listeners on Spotify.
- Hit songs remain popular with both original fans and younger generations.
- The timing of the reunion coincides with a nostalgic return of Britpop.
The Reunion Hype
The long-held antipathy between the brothers makes this reunion incredibly exciting. Fans are just as eager to see their relationship on stage as they are to hear the classic tunes.
- Successful comeback of Blur last year heightened anticipation.
- Oasis is among the last major Britpop bands to reform.
- Nostalgia is fueled by a recent Labour government win.
In a statement, the band acknowledged that it was 30 years to the day since their debut album Definitely Maybe was released, suggesting the timing must be a subconscious influence.
As excitement builds, fans eagerly await more news regarding ticket sales and further details of the band’s comeback tour.
