All Around the World: Oasis Again Add Dates to Reunion Tour
by Best Classic Bands StaffOasis has again added a new continent to their 2025 world tour. In this case, it’s Asia where on Nov. 21-22, the band added a concert in South Korea and a pair of shows in Tokyo, Japan. In many markets, they’ve added second dates even before the on-sale date for the general public began. Such was the case for Oasis’ North American dates of their LIVE ’25 world tour that sold-out within minutes. They’ve now got plenty of stadium concerts in Ireland and the U.K. (where the band now have five shows in Manchester and a whopping seven performances scheduled at London’s Wembley Stadium due to “phenomenal demand”). They’ll also be in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, including two shows each in Toronto, East Rutherford (NJ), Los Angeles and Mexico City, and one in Chicago.
They’ve got five concerts in Australia including three in Melbourne and a pair in Sydney. The South American shows now bring the total to 41. While all of the previously announced dates are technically sold-out, tickets may be available here. Tickets are also occasionally made available via the band’s website.
Oasis ended years of speculation with the August 27 confirmation of a long awaited run of U.K. and Ireland shows forming the domestic leg of their Oasis LIVE ’25 world tour. Oasis will also hit Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin in the summer of 2025. Their only shows in Europe next year, this has already proven to be one of the biggest live moments and hottest tickets of the decade.
That original Australia announcement quoted a Men at Work lyric.
“People of the land down under.
‘You better run-you better take cover…’
We are coming.
You are most welcome.”
The news of the North American shows came 16 years since their last performance there. Oasis stated,
“America.
Oasis is coming.
You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”
Brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher have occupied themselves with their own projects since the band split in 2009, with ten U.K. #1 albums between them as well as countless festival headline sets and stadium and arena shows. But Oasis is something else. There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion – just the gradual realization that the time is right. It’s been 30 years since their electrifying debut album Definitely Maybe was released, while 2025 will see their second LP (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? reach that same anniversary.
When the U.K. and Ireland dates were announced, Oasis commented,
“The guns have fallen silent.
The stars have aligned.
The great wait is over.
Come see.
It will not be televised.”
On October 21, the band revealed that the opening act for their U.K. and Ireland dates would be Richard Ashcroft, founder of the alternative rock band The Verve.
Oasis’ legend has only been amplified in their absence. The classics that Liam and Noel have played in their solo shows have inspired phenomenal public demand for the band to make a long-awaited return, while the Knebworth 1996 film provided a taste of their exhilarating live performances to a whole new generation. They remain a huge draw in the streaming era, with 21.5 million monthly listeners at Spotify alone and a total of 12 billion streams to date. August 30 saw the release of the Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition of Definitely Maybe. The new edition is available in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here.

A quick recap of the Oasis UK story. Formed in Manchester, the band quickly became one of the biggest cultural phenomenons of the era as Definitely Maybe became the fastest-selling debut album in British history – and has since reached 17x Platinum in recognition of 5 million+ UK sales. All seven of their studio albums went straight to #1, as did their 2010 compilation Time Flies…. Their catalogue features eight #1 singles, from “Some Might Say” to “The Importance of Being Idle,” as well as another fifteen Top 10 hits.
That huge following translated to the live arena, most famously playing to 125,000 people each night during two shows at Knebworth. Other big moments included two headline sets at Glastonbury in 1995 and 2004; huge homecoming shows at Manchester City’s Maine Road stadium; and a run of Wembley Stadium gigs which were documented in the live album Familiar To Millions.
Their accolades have included six BRIT Awards, including the Outstanding Contribution to British Music, two Ivor Novellos, and seventeen NME Awards.
