Oasis Tour 2026

Inside Oasis

Oasis are the Manchester band that defined Britpop in the mid-1990s and, by sheer scale of catalogue and crowd, sit alongside the Stone Roses and the Smiths in the city's modern musical lineage. Formed in 1991 around brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, the group spent a decade dragging guitar music back into the charts with three diamond-shifting albums — Definitely Maybe, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, and Be Here Now — before fracturing in slow motion across the 2000s and finally splitting in August 2009 after a backstage fight in Paris.

For fifteen years the reunion question was the most asked, most denied question in British rock; the two brothers traded insults through interviews, solo records, and Twitter while a parade of festival headliners offered increasingly absurd sums to get the band back together, and a generation that had never seen the band live grew up on the records anyway. In August 2024 the answer finally came: Oasis Live '25, a stadium-tier reunion tour beginning in the UK and Ireland summer 2025, expanding into North America late 2025 and through 2026, with further continents added as the run continues.

The scale of demand cleared eleven million Ticketmaster queue positions in the UK alone on the first on-sale, made global front-page news, and made the reunion the most-anticipated rock tour of the decade by some distance. The current touring incarnation pairs the two Gallaghers with longtime collaborators and original-lineup rhythm guitarist Bonehead across a 90- to 100-minute headliner set built almost entirely from the first three records — a deliberate, catalogue-heavy show pitched squarely at the audience that grew up with the songs and the younger crowd that inherited them through their parents' record collections.

About Oasis

Oasis came together in Manchester in 1991 when Liam Gallagher joined a local band called The Rain and rebranded it, then handed the songwriting keys to his older brother Noel — a former roadie for Inspiral Carpets — on the condition Noel could run the project. The Gallaghers, drummer Tony McCarroll, bassist Paul 'Guigsy' McGuigan, and guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs cut a demo, played a King Tut's Wah Wah Hut show in Glasgow that Creation Records boss Alan McGee happened to walk into, and signed almost on the spot.

Definitely Maybe arrived in August 1994 and became, at the time, the fastest-selling debut album in British chart history. (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

followed in October 1995 with Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova, and Some Might Say — a record that has now sold more than 22 million copies worldwide and effectively defined what a guitar-band crossover album could look like in the streaming era's prehistory. In August 1996 Oasis played two nights at Knebworth Park to 250,000 people across the weekend, drawn from 2.6 million ticket applications — the largest concert demand in UK history at the time and a number the reunion tour is the first to seriously test.

Be Here Now (1997), Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000), Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don't Believe the Truth (2005), and Dig Out Your Soul (2008) kept the band at arena and festival-headliner scale even as critical reception cooled. The lineup churned across the 2000s, with Gem Archer, Andy Bell, Zak Starkey, and Chris Sharrock cycling through as Bonehead, Guigsy, and McCarroll departed.

On 28 August 2009, twenty minutes before stage time at Rock en Seine in Paris, a backstage altercation between Liam and Noel ended with Noel walking out and posting a statement that he could no longer work with his brother. The break held for almost exactly fifteen years through Beady Eye, Liam's solo career, Noel's High Flying Birds, occasional thaws, and one extremely public bucket-hat-era nostalgia cycle — before the reunion was announced on 27 August 2024 for a 2025 tour.

The Oasis reunion tour

Oasis Live '25 is structured as a rolling, multi-continent stadium run rather than a one-off victory lap. The opening UK and Ireland leg in summer 2025 booked multi-night residencies at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield, and Dublin's Croke Park — a circuit chosen explicitly to absorb the scale of demand without resorting to a single mega-show.

From there the tour expands across North America in late 2025 and through 2026, with confirmed and rumoured dates at Toronto's purpose-built Rogers Stadium at Downsview, MetLife Stadium in the New York metro, Soldier Field in Chicago, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, and additional NFL- and MLS-scale venues yet to be announced as the routing fills in. South American, Australian, and Asian legs are slated to follow into the back half of 2026.

Each show is built around a 90- to 100-minute headliner set with no opening band on some dates and a hand-picked supporting act on others — typically a heritage Britpop-era name or a current UK indie band. The staging is straightforward by 2020s pop standards: a wide stadium-spanning video wall, deep b-stage where appropriate, and a lighting rig that leans into the Knebworth-era visual vocabulary rather than reinventing it.

Doors typically open two hours before showtime at stadium dates, with the headline set landing around 8:45 p.m. local time after the support slot. Setlist construction is intentionally catalogue-heavy and rotates only at the margins from night to night — see the setlist block below for what to expect.

Oasis tickets

Oasis tickets are sold primarily through Ticketmaster as the official global partner, with secondary inventory on StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, and Twickets linked from each individual date on this page. Demand at the original UK on-sale set Ticketmaster records — eleven million queue positions for around 1.4 million tickets — and the use of dynamic 'In Demand' pricing on those sales drew significant public backlash and a UK Competition and Markets Authority review, the outcome of which has shaped how subsequent on-sales for North American and other legs have been structured.

For the current tour, the cleanest path is to register interest through the official Oasis site ahead of each leg's on-sale window, use a single browser session and a single account in the queue, and treat anything sold through unverified resale platforms as high-risk. Ticketmaster's Verified Resale and AXS Official Resale are the only secondary marketplaces the band's promoters endorse, and tickets on those platforms are capped at the original face value plus fees in most jurisdictions.

Stadium prices for the reunion run have ranged roughly from the equivalent of $80–$100 USD for upper-tier general admission to several hundred for lower-bowl seated and pitch standing, with VIP hospitality packages — including pre-show food and beverage and dedicated entry — sitting at the top of the range.

Oasis setlist — what they play

The Oasis reunion setlist is, by deliberate design, a greatest-hits show drawn almost entirely from the first three albums and the singles era around them. Expect the opening to land hard on Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory cuts — Hello, Rock 'n' Roll Star, Morning Glory itself, Some Might Say, and Cigarettes & Alcohol typically appear in the first half of the set.

The middle of the show pulls in deeper cuts like Slide Away, Whatever, Half the World Away (sung by Noel), and selections from Be Here Now such as D'You Know What I Mean? and Stand by Me.

The closing run is built around the singalong canon every audience came for: Live Forever, Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, and Champagne Supernova, with the encore typically anchored by a cover of The Beatles' I Am the Walrus, a long-standing Oasis live tradition going back to the Knebworth era. Total runtime sits in the 90- to 100-minute range across roughly 22–24 songs.

Night-by-night variation is modest — typically one or two swaps in the middle of the set — and the best place to confirm the exact setlist for a specific show is setlist.fm, which fans update in near real time from the floor.
