Oasis Reunion Tour Ignites Stadiums After Feud
Britpop legends launch highly anticipated world tour, playing hits and stirring fan frenzy
After years of anticipation, **Oasis** has officially reunited, launching their world tour in Cardiff, Wales, on Friday night—marking the end of a long-standing feud between brothers **Liam** and **Noel Gallagher**, who last performed together in 2009.
Opening Night Spectacle
The inaugural show at Principality Stadium featured **Richard Ashcroft** of the Verve, plus Liverpool’s Cast, as opening acts. Fans were eager to hear classic hits from the Manchester band’s discography.
While their last studio album, “Dig Out Your Soul,” dropped in 2008, it is not yet known if **Oasis** plans to present any new songs during the tour. The band is celebrating the 30th anniversaries of “Definitely Maybe” and “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?”—the latter catapulted them to international fame with anthems like “Wonderwall,”
“Don’t Look Back in Anger,”
and “Champagne Supernova.”
Tour Schedule
Following the Cardiff launch, **Oasis** is slated to perform in Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin. A North American leg in August includes stops in Toronto, East Rutherford, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Mexico City, followed by additional London dates and shows in South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil.
Ticketmaster Controversy
The reunion tour’s tickets sold out rapidly, triggering a wave of complaints against Ticketmaster due to dynamic pricing and scalpers. According to a 2024 report by the Government Accountability Office, these practices disproportionately affect lower-income consumers (GAO Report). As a result, the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority launched an investigation, and 50,000 resold tickets were voided.
