Noel and Liam Gallagher announced last year they had put their acrimonious split behind them, confirming Oasis’ long-awaited reunion after 15 years.
Making the announcement, the brothers said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
The band will be bringing its Live ’25 tour to venues across the UK during July, August and September, including in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Manchester and London.
The Oasis tour will begin in Cardiff, at Principality Stadium, on Friday (July 4).

While this person posted: “Amazingggggg!!!”
But some fans are convinced the soundcheck was merely a recording of the band, not Liam and Noel performing in person.
One person, commenting on a video of the soundcheck on X, said: “It’s strange you don’t hear Noel’s voice.
“I believe this audio is from the definitely maybe tour rehearsals from last year.”
Another posted: “This is a pre recording to test sound levels i would assume. Not sure the band are actually there.”

While a third person added: “Noel was on talk sport in the last couple of days saying all their work was done and it was a few days off before getting going on Friday.
“They aren’t there. It’s a recording.”
