Oasis Live 2025 tour was announced last summer
And while it may be one of the hottest gigs of the summer, fans can still make a last minute grab for tickets.
Twicket, a verified reselling site, has spaces left for fans keen to get a glimpse of the Gallagher brothers live.
When we checked there were tickets on sale, with one flogging their seat for the band's July 5 concert in Cardiff for £150.
Meanwhile, there are two tickets left for Liam and Noel's Wembley gig on July 30 for £240 each.
However, the tickets sell very fast - so you need to be poised to snap them up.
Ticketmaster also has a small number of tickets available to buy on its website, with tickets still available for the pair's Heaton Park, Manchester show for £148 each.
There is also one 'in demand' standing ticket left for the Oasis gig in Manchester on July 11 for £381.
Both sites allow you to set up alerts so that you can be notified when tickets are added - but you may have to refresh the app and move quickly to snap them up.
Ticketmaster threatened with legal action
When the gig was announced last summer, fans were stuck in Ticketmaster queues for up to 12 hours, unaware of what price they would pay at checkout.
The firm was accused of labelling seats at Platinum and selling them for £350 instead of £150.
This was despite being in the same area of the stadium as equivalent tickets with no extra benefits.
Ticketmaster has since been threatened with legal action from the consumer watchdog over claims fans may have been misled over the pricing of tickets.

Crack down on unfair pricing
The firm had been accused of using dynamic or surge pricing, but no evidence of this was found.
Ticketmaster made some changes to its ticket sale process but the CMA said it 'does not currently consider these changes are sufficient'.
The watchdog said it had been trying to work with them to change their pricing and ticket information.
However, the CMA said this week it wasn't happy and it is seeking legal action.
It said: 'Having carefully considered Ticketmaster's response, the CMA's view is that there is a fundamental disagreement between the CMA and Ticketmaster about whether Ticketmaster's practices infringed consumer law.
Hayley Fletcher, interim senior director of consumer protection at the CMA, added: 'All ticketing websites should check they are complying with the law and treating their customers fairly.
'When businesses get it right, consumers benefit – and that's the best outcome for everyone.'
Ruthless criminals also fleeced fans out of more than £2million by making false advertisements for tickets.

‘Without a parka, I'll look like an idiot': Oasis fans' fashion at the reunion tour
In the weeks leading up to their first gig for 16 years, Oasis have been busy when it comes to merch. They opened pop-up shops and announced collabs with Levi's, Adidas and Next. The results are plain to see on the streets of Cardiff the afternoon before the long-awaited gig. If they say you are never more than six feet away from a rat in a city, here you are never more than six inches away from that famous Oasis Helvetica Black Oblique logo. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. It's on bucket hats, football shirts, tracksuit tops, T-shirts and, every so often, someone's face. The fanbase goes across generations and demographics. There are those who were there the first time, and teenagers who grew up on their music. Some have travelled for miles – from Italy, Spain, Portugal and the US. If the crowd is largely white, there's a contingent of fans from east Asia. Put together, the hordes marauding on the streets of Cardiff before the 74,500-capacity sell-out gig at the Principality stadium are united by their love for the five Mancunians who will take to the stage. As one fan described, it's like going to a football match where everyone supports the same team. Diversity in the fanbase reveals itself in different ways through what they wear. There are the merch fans, who have bought T-shirts on the day. That's true of Ash Park, Marcus Long and the fortuitously named Joe Gallagher, three friends who have long talked about a potential Oasis reunion. From left: Ash Parker, Marcus Long and Joe Gallagher in their brand new T-shirts Gallagher – who paid £600 for his ticket – says he won't wear the T-shirt beyond the gig but he'll frame it instead. 'It's historic,' he says. Long, meanwhile, is contemplating a tattoo – 'it would probably be something like that,' he says, pointing to the logo with the date of the gig on his T-shirt. Helen Durbin, who is wearing a matching T-shirt to her friend Nicky Thomas, says it will likely have the same fate as a lot of music merch – something to wear to bed. From left: Helen Durbin, Paul Durbin and Nicky Thomas Helen's husband Paul, meanwhile, is in a different design, with the Gallagher brothers looking moody on the front. 'I prefer this one,' referring to the logo'd one his wife has. '[But] I thought it would be a little bit too sweet [to match].' Oasis's own look – or that of the Gallaghers, anyway – has remained set for decades. Part football terrace classics, part Mod, part 90s, its simplicity – and roots in familiar tropes of British menswear – is why it's so influential. It has familiar components that are easy to put together: parkas, shirts, anoraks, Adidas track tops, baggy jeans, football shirts and – of course – the bucket hat. There's a sector of the fanbase that endeavours to bring something of the Gallagher look into their own. 'Cool' is a word mentioned a lot, along with – to quote the band – 'biblical,' as Ricardo Riquier puts it. With his mop of hair and parka from Liam Gallagher's fashion label Pretty Green, Riquier, who travelled from Lisbon, says his style was formed in the 90s. Ricardo Riquier from Portugual 'I never had another hairstyle since I was 15,' he laughs. 'I'll die with this hair.' The parka was a non-negotiable. 'I didn't know how hot or how cold it was going to be, but I'm like 'I'm taking my parka, otherwise I'll look like an idiot.'' Chris Taylor has travelled from Falkirk. He also loves a parka – he says it is 'the best way to cut about'. Chris Taylor from Scotland Today, he signals his long-term fandom with a 'Who the fuck is Liam Gallagher?' T-shirt, from a solo tour around 14 years ago. 'It's vintage, and I keep it in my collector's box,' he says. Taylor appreciates the Gallagher style for its 'arrogance. They do it and others follow.' They certainly do. Sergio Cid and Jairo Velas have travelled from Madrid, and wear the outfits of those who have followed a band for decades – Cid's first gig was Oasis in 1997, when he was 12. He wears a vintage Manchester City shirt similar to one the Gallaghers were photographed wearing in 1994, a bucket hat and – crucially – a denim jacket fastened with a single button at the neck, as worn by Liam for the Familiar to Millions gig in 2000. Sergio Cid, left, and Jairo Velas 'He knows more than me about the details,' says Velas (Cid speaks little English). 'That's why we are really disappointed about the hair. Liam has a shaved head. We're like 'No, you need to bring 2002 back.'' Ethan Besant is also keen on the classic style – he's showing that through an outfit which is dominated by Pretty Green, from the logoed polo shirt to the green parka and the badges on the bucket hat. What does he like about Liam's style? 'He's just cool, isn't he?' he says. Besant appreciates the fact that what the singer wears has not differed hugely for years. 'It's all pretty consistent,' he says. 'I guess when you find your style, you stick to it.' Ethan Besant With the Oasis tour one of the events of the summer, their look is something of a fashion moment too – TikTok is full of videos of users showcasing their outfits. Sportswear retailer JD says searches for 'oasis fashion' were up 913% in June, while Depop says searches for bucket hats are up 61% since last year and – perhaps improbably in a heatwave – searches for parkas are up 1,850%. This take on Oasis style is very much present in Cardiff too – on those who take their style as a jump-off point to make their own look. Tamara Sims bought her denim jacket on Vinted for £20 – with copies of 90s Oasis patches covering it. 'You say what patches you want and they make it for you,' she says. Did Sims want a 'look' to come to the concert? 'I wanted a bit of Adidas,' she says, pointing to her socks, 'and I just bought my bucket hat now.' Jae In Yoo, who has travelled from South Korea, wears her zip-up merch track jacket oversized – 'I like it big' – with a long gingham skirt. She'll add a bucket hat when she goes into the gig. Tamara Sims; and Jae In Yoo Julia Bussi, seen in the main image, has travelled from Italy with three friends. She cut her tour T-shirt into a crop top ('I prefer,' she says) while her friend Eduardo Pane finishes his look with sunglasses that are 'part Matrix, part young Liam'. Lucy Barnett and Ellie Thomas both wear T-shirts from Next, tied at the waist, with lace bubble skirts. 'We wanted it to be feminine but comfy at the same time,' says Barnett. Are Oasis cashing in with all these collabs? '100%,' she says. Lucy Barnett, left, and Ellie Thomas Football shirts – whether real ones, mostly Man City or Oasis merch styled to look like football shirts – are everywhere. Which makes sense: the fact that the football shirt is now an established part of young people's wardrobe is the ripple effect of Oasis style. An image of the brothers in striped Man City shirts in 1994 is familiar to anyone who looks at Britpop style accounts on Instagram. The connection has even gone full circle – as well as the football shirt in the Adidas collaboration, Man City's fourth kit for 24/25 was designed with Noel Gallagher. Those wearing them today appreciate the connection between football and music. Brandon Woodman and Jamie Winter have travelled from Edinburgh – with Woodman wearing the busy Scotland away kit from the 1990 World Cup, and Winter in the 90s Man City shirt. 'We like the way they bring football into a rock'n'roll setting,' says Winter. Brandon Woodman, left, with Jamie White; and Jennie Connely Or sometimes it's just a look. Jennie Connely wears a football-like shirt, with Supersonic written across it in Oasis's font, from Mama Established, a brand that makes unofficial merch for everyone from Sam Fender to Pedro Pascal. Although she supports Middlesbrough, she 'wouldn't dare' wear a Boro shirt today. 'I wanted to feel comfortable, but I wanted to feel part of this. It's 16 years in the making, but it feels like it's brand new,' she says. Kent Garrison, who travelled from Dallas, committed to a look – he wore that Man City fourth kit complete with the socks. 'I came with a plan to wear the full kit,' he says. 'I was a little nervous, but I said, 'You know what? This once in a lifetime opportunity, and I'm going to support.'' Kent Garrison from Dallas, Texas Although Garrison is not totally familiar with the Premier League, he appreciates that the Gallaghers were City fans even when the team were finishing close to the relegation places. 'They're not bandwagoners,' he said. 'They've been Man City since the beginning.' If Garrison and Connely remember the first time – Connelly has seen the band five times – there are plenty of fans that don't. This sector of the crowd, in their teens and early 20s, are perhaps the most creative with the Oasis look. Jeongsee Park and Seohyeon Shin have mixed it with Y3K style – Shin wears reflective contact lenses – and Park's prized piece is a genuine 1994 City shirt ('Very expensive,' she winces) which she wears with an oversized track top from the latest merch. Seohyeon Shin, left, and Jeongsee Park The friends say it's only young women who like Oasis in South Korea – they are surprised by how many older people are in Cardiff. Shin is influenced by Liam's all-white outfit from Knebworth in 1997. 'I thought he was an angel,' she says. Iwan Strong; Charlie Jenkins; and Taylerann Gilder Iwan Strong, 18, also loves all things 90s – he's inspired by bands but also his dad 'in old-fashioned Adidas'. He plays in a band and says he would dress like 'a mixture of Oasis and Manic Street Preachers' when he plays a gig. Seventeen-year-old Charlie Jenkins, with a blond crop and bright blue braces, likes the Gallaghers' look as 'football hooliganism, masculine, real life. It's loud.' Taylerann Gilder, 19, wins for her look: an oversized shell suit jacket top bought on Vinted, 90s-style skate jeans and an XXXL Liam T-shirt customised to fit by her mum, with bows along the sides. 'I like to rearrange my clothes – I cut a lot of my T-shirts, cropped and stuff like that,' she says. If she has learned about Oasis and their style from her parents, Gilder says the next generation aren't far behind. 'My nephew, he's seven, he walks around with the sunglasses, the Adidas tracksuits. We all call him little Liam Gallagher.'

Liam Gallagher fans are only just finding out his real name
Liam and Noel Gallagher brought Oasis back to life in Cardiff after 16 years - but some fans were more shocked learning the star's real name than the long-awaited reunion. Liam Gallagher's real name has shocked fans as the Oasis stars finally reunited after 16 years. The Gallagher brothers returned to the stage at the weekend for their long-awaited reunion tour - but many fans were stunned to learn the Oasis legend's real name isn't even Liam. But as thousands chanted their names inside the sold-out Principality Stadium, many didn't realise 'Liam' is actually just a nickname. His real name is William John Paul Gallagher. Their Irish parents, Thomas and Peggy, reportedly raised him as ' Liam ' - the Irish shortening of William. Meanwhile, his middle names, John and Paul, are a clear nod to The Beatles, who inspired the Gallagher brothers' iconic sound. Liam and Noel made history as they walked on stage holding hands, to deafening cheers from more than 75,000 fans, who'd waited over a decade to see them back together and fans couldn't contain their love and excitement. As they took to the stage on night two, Liam let go of Noel's hand and even bowed to him in front of the crowd who erupted with chants and showers of pints as they launched into Hello. The pair kept up the united front all weekend, but behind the scenes they're reportedly living apart to avoid clashing. A source said: 'They don't want to over-expose themselves to each other having ving separate residences is the best option so they can relax in their own space. They stayed in separate locations outside the city around half an hour away from each other.' The brothers are 'happy families at the moment' and reportedly want to keep it that way. Both brothers are said to have overhauled their lifestyles to make the tour work, with Liam ditching the booze and insisting on eight hours' sleep a night. On Friday, Liam kicked off the set by shouting: 'Manchester vibes in the area!' before tearing into Hello, followed by Acquiesce and Morning Glory. At one point he cheekily told the crowd: 'I see you're all on the glue still down there!' Later, he had everyone link arms and 'bounce' along to Cigarettes & Alcohol. As the brothers performed, touching family photos of Peggy, Tommy and the Gallaghers' Manchester childhood flashed on the big screens while Stand By Me played. Liam later said 'Are you having a good time? Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for the ticket?' - a dig at the chaos over soaring prices, which started at £74.25 and went up to £506.25 for pre-show parties. Throughout their various sets, poignant pictures of the family's home in Manchester flashed up on the screen along with baby pictures of both brothers and old black and white pictures of their mum Peggy and dad Tommy were also flashed on the screen from time to time as Stand By Me played. The brothers closed their 16-year comeback with an encore of Wonderwall, before thanking fans for sticking with them through the years. 'Thanks for putting up with us over the years. We're hard work. We get it,' Liam told the crowd. They finished on an emotional high with the legendary Champagne Supernova, bringing the house down.
