Oasis has added two more 2025 dates at Wembley Stadium due to “phenomenal demand.” The September 4 announcement brings the total number of concerts to the London venue to seven since they 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 hit Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin in the summer of 2025. Their only shows in Europe next year, this will be one of the biggest live moments and hottest tickets of the decade.
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. Yet the timing must be a subconscious influence. This Thursday represents 30 years to the day since their electrifying debut album Definitely Maybe was released, while 2025 will see the equally essential second record (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? reach that same anniversary.
Oasis commented,
“The guns have fallen silent.
The stars have aligned.
The great wait is over.
Come see.
It will not be televised.”
Plans are underway for Oasis Live ’25 to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year.
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. This Friday will also see the release of the Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition of Definitely Maybe. The new edition is available to pre-order in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here.
Tickets for the September 27-28 Wembley Stadium concerts will be sold by a staggered, invitation-only ballot process. Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many U.K. fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on-sale with Ticketmaster when they went on sale here. (More details to follow.)

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.
