OASIS HAVE CONFIRMED they will reunite and play their first gigs in 15 years.
On the band’s website this morning, Oasis announced a spate of gigs for next summer – with two nights in Dublin’s Croke Park among the schedule.

They will go on sale at 8am for the Dublin concerts and from 9am for the UK gigs.

Edinburgh’s Murrayfield is their next stop before they conclude the tour with Croke Park.
Anyone who grabs tickets meanwhile will be able to resell their tickets from Monday 2 September through Ticketmaster or Twickets.
The public feud between the Gallaghers has been well-documented over the years, but it seems that they’ve put all that behind them after a number of hints over the weekend suggesting they would reunite.
Rumours began to swirl last week about Liam and Noel Gallagher getting back together, with the official Oasis website and one of its social media accounts displaying a gold logo with today’s date since Sunday.
Formed in 1991, the band quickly became a cultural phenomenons. Their debut album Definitely Maybe became the fastest-selling debut album in British history and all seven of their studio albums went straight to number one in the charts.
This Friday also marks 30 years since the release of their debut album, Definitely Maybe, which included classic like ‘Supersonic’, ‘Live Forever’ and ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’.

@William Rymer: money talks. The Eagles toured for years while hating each other. It was called the Hell Freezes Over Tour, as that’s what they said when in broke up in acrimony. We’ll never play together again till Hell freezes over. Mind you, I’m not sure how many original members were still in the band
@Dermot Blaine: they played the 3 arena about 10yrs ago with the full line up – they were terrific& I was delighted to see Glen Frey as he was my favourite who sadly is no longer with us.
@Machine Learning IRE: You know you can chose what to listen to right? There isn’t just “solo female stuff”, whatever that means, and a “live band”. Give me strength
@Machine Learning IRE: 100%…heard that the top 50 billboard in America recently didn’t have one band in it…Oasis could be the kick up the ass music needs at the moment.
@Machine Learning IRE: It’s infuriating the way they invented solo female singers in recent years! Equally annoying that there’s no bands with blokes in them anymore except for the hundreds of thousands releasing albums every year. All those gigs are clearly fake tours too. Argh the injustice!
@Philip Casserly: I was there, lovely sunny day. Bootleg beatles to start. Prodigy then blew everyone’s head off and then oasis at the peak of their powers. Magical day.
There’s going to be a lot of disappointed fans before these gigs even happen as the two will have another falling out. I wonder will Paddy Power have odds on this.
@Ken Fallon: I’d say there are good odds Bonehead will partake, he was on the Definitely Maybe tour. Let’s be honest though, having different musicians changes the sound far less than having different singers.
“Formed in 1991, the band quickly became a cultural phenomenons” – whatever about the poor grammar and misspelling in that sentence, but the truth here is that no one had a clue who Oasis were until 1994.
@Conrad Stapletwin: Still though, three years to success. I’ve known bands strive 15 years to launch a one hit wonder, but failed even that. Liam a born frontman.
@Keth Tgi: Any band that sets out to “launch a one hit wonder”, whatever that means, deserves to fail hard.
Liam Gallagher is a terrible front man. He remains stationary in one spot, arms behind his back sneering through his nose into the mic. Painful stuff.
He’s a coward too according to many in the music business. Making threats and being aggressive towards others while hiding behind his bodyguards.
@Conrad Stapletwin: ahh now lol. He’s got his own style going on, and he’s a manchunian too. I can’t imagine him being all Iron maiden shouting out ‘this side… Now this side, I can’t hear yuuuu!’. As for being a coward.. who gives a toss what happens in the studio. End product counts. Laughing though.
@Keth Tgi: Not sure what Iron Maiden or being a manchunian has to do with it and who said anything about what he’s like in the studio?! A one trick pony and it’s not a very good trick.
He’s a coward 24/7. A mouthy hard man that hides behind his bodyguards when the s**t hits the fan. A pathetic individual.
As for the “end product” – Oasis have made one decent album and the rest is mostly forgettable trash.
@Conrad Stapletwin: You not a fan Conrad, or did Liam threaten to beat you up one time while trembling behind his security people. Ome of the great bands of our time, you might not like them, but ticket sales will state otherwise.
@Conrad Stapletwin: So…you will be going or you won’t be going? Iron maiden a metaphor. Re: His behavior: he’s a pressured rockstar tantamount to genius who exists within a higher dimension than we can ever imagine. One only has to look at Noel to see who Liam may have been in an alternate life….boring. Even Noels face is boring beta. Liam totally Alpha. But also, if you can afford to be a coward in success, some do.
@The Firestarter: He’s without doubt the worst ‘front man’ of all time. He thinks he’s Ian Brown.. but lacks the proper Manc attitude, swagger and charisma on stage. Stands behind the mic like a mannequin for the whole show.. In fact the whole band remain static.. its like watching the Wolfe Tones in concert .
Sorry to be cynical, but I suspect that somebody is in need of cash!!! Besides, Oasis were always overrated. In musical terms, they were derivative, especially of the Beatles, who were far superior.
So EP can wait, they know it’s too late
Some proper stuff coming at last.
P.S. advice to the plonkers who bought next year’s EP tickets already – don’t look back in anger!
I think we can all agree that the general consensus is this: Oasis a great band from a great era, and EP ticket buyers who cannot now afford Oasis tickets will have to sit through Kylie (or stale Blondie) and The dull, if comfortable ‘shopping Mall’ laments of Vampire Weekend.
@Keth Tgi: Oasis are a good pub band, that’s about it. Those of us old enough had heard it all before, nothing new or original about them. Beatles, Slade, Punk influenced band, in each case the original source is better. Of course, everyone thinks their era is the best for music!
What’s the point in having body guards if you can’t retire behind them. Liam’s got a million dollar face…. No fool he. Noel on the other hand looks like a common or garden plumber who won 50 quid on the horses and is happy with his new patio. The gulf is astounding.
