Oasis announce extra UK dates for reunion concert tour | Ents & Arts News
Oasis have announced three extra concert dates in the UK for their reunion tour next year.
The band said they were adding the extra gigs due to “unprecedented demand” following registration for a ticket pre-sale.
The new dates are: 16 July at Heaton Park, Manchester; 30 July, Wembley, London; 12 August, Edinburgh.
Noel and Liam Gallagher confirmed the band’s reunion on Tuesday morning, following weeks of speculation. The comeback comes 15 years after Noel quit the band, spelling the end of Oasis, until now.
The additional gigs mean the band will play five Wembley concerts, five in Manchester, and three in Scotland.
As with the initial gigs, tickets for the new dates go on sale on Saturday morning.
The new shows come after the band announced that some fans would be able to get their hands on tickets a day early through a pre-sale ballot – cue thousands of people rushing to register to be in with a chance.
A post on the Oasis social media channels said there had been an “unprecedented volume of entries”.
Ahead of the reunion announcement, some media reports suggested the band would be playing a record 10 dates at Wembley, as well as a headline performance at Glastonbury.
However, the band ended speculation about the festival slot, saying in a statement: “Despite media speculation, Oasis will not be playing Glastonbury 2025 or any other festivals next year. The only way to see the band perform will be on their Oasis Live ’25 World Tour.”
Plans are in place for further dates outside Europe, the band confirmed in the original announcement.
