Oasis announce more dates ‘due to unprecedented demand’

Oasis have announced three more dates in Manchester, London and Edinburgh for the Britpop band’s reunion tour.

Noel Gallagher posted on X, formerly Twitter, saying that “due to unprecedented demand” shows in Heaton Park, on July 16, Wembley on July 30 and Murrayfield Stadium on August 12 had been added.

Tickets have not yet gone on sale, but the Manchester rockers invited fans to apply for a pre-sale ballot – which has now closed – before Saturday’s general release.

Noel and his brother Liam put their acrimonious split behind them, confirming the band’s long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying: “The great wait is over.”

Ticket prices for the Oasis Live 25 tour are expected to be announced on Thursday, before lucky fans are notified by email that they have secured the opportunity of getting pre-sale tickets.

The UK and Ireland shows, which are the only European dates, will also visit Dublin’s Croke Park.

The dates already released are as follows: Principality Stadium July 4 and 5; Heaton Park July 11, 12, 19 and 20; Wembley Stadium July 25 and 26 and August 2 and 3; Murrayfield Stadium August 8 and 9; and Croke Park August 16 and 17.

It has not been announced who will be performing with Liam and Noel as part of Oasis.

Fans have been pleading with the brothers to regroup since they disbanded, prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Noel, 57, quit the Manchester rock group on August 28 2009, saying he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer”, and the brothers have made negative comments about each other for more than a decade.

Though fans have been positive about a reunion, concerns have been raised about high ticket prices and accommodation, and the prospect of Liam and Noel having another falling out.
