The
band, whose debut album "Definitely Maybe" was released 30 years
ago, split in 2009 when lead guitarist and main songwriter Noel
said he could no longer work with Liam, the band's charismatic
frontman.
Hinting at imminent news, the brothers posted the date
"27.08.24" and "8am" in the style of the band's logo on social
media late on Sunday.
Liam also dedicated the Oasis track "Half the World Away" to his
brother during his set at the Reading Festival on Sunday.
The Sunday Times, citing industry insiders, said shows were
planned at Heaton Park in Manchester, where the band was formed
in 1991, and at Wembley Stadium in London in summer 2025.
A headline performance at the Glastonbury Festival was also
rumored, according to the newspaper.
A tour in 2025 would mark the 30th anniversary of second album
"(What's the Story) Morning Glory?", which including the singles
"Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Wonderwall".
The release of "Roll with It" from the album in August 1995 put
Oasis head-to-head with rival Blur's "Country House" in a chart
battle that was seized upon by the media. Blur won the coveted
number one spot.
"(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" went on to sell more than 22
million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album of the
1990s in Britain and the band's breakthrough in the United
States.
The brothers were often at loggerheads when the band toured in
the 1990s and their hostility continued afterwards.
"He thinks he's the man and I think I'm the man, do you know
what I mean?" Liam said in 2017.
