Who's actually in the band?
The line-up consists of Liam and Noel Gallagher, Andy Bell on bass, Gem Archer and Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs on guitar with session players on drums and keyboard.
Who is supporting?
The band has been criticised for choosing well-established acts over less well-known up-and-comers, with some fans suggesting Oasis's tour could have provided a much-needed leg-up for fresh new talent.
But the artists Oasis have selected should get the crowd fired up regardless: former The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft will perform solo, as well as indie rock band Cast. Support on the US leg of the tour will come from Cage the Elephant.
The dates at Manchester's Heaton Park are expected to start earlier than the ones in stadiums, leading to rumours the event could fling open its doors from earlier in the day and offer other, additional support acts. However, this has not yet been confirmed.
Where to buy merch
Yet to sort out your bucket hat, Adidas sweatshirt or band tee? Don't fear – to capitalise on demand, there will be numerous official pop-up shops across the country selling Oasis merchandise ahead of the tour.
Pop-up stores can be found in Manchester (on The Avenue, Spinningfields), London (Carnaby Street), Cardiff, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Dublin, plus there are official merchandise stands outside and inside the gigs.
Fans visiting the pop-up stores will be able to buy exclusive clothing, home accessories (everything from mugs, pint glasses and baby grows to Zippo lighters) and vinyl records. To gain entry, fans can either book an (advised) timed entry slot or queue.

The Gallagher brothers have also recently announced an exclusive partnership with clothing brand Adidas, consisting of jackets, shirts, T-shirts, sweatshirts, tracksuit bottoms and trainers. These can be purchased (by pre-order) on the official Adidas website as well as online retailer ASOS, plus from an official store in Manchester city centre. Be quick, though: many items have already sold out.
Manchester has truly embraced the celebratory atmosphere, with a local Aldi supermarket transforming into 'Aldeh' in a riff on the Gallagher's accents.
Our tips – from those who've been
The shows are guaranteed to be rowdy, but just try to embrace it. Nobody knows exactly what the performance will entail, but you can count on a fair few pints of beer (and other fluids) being chucked over the crowd, so don't wear your fanciest clothes – comfortable walking shoes, a raincoat and a protective bucket hat are gig/festival staples for a reason. Plus, pack those earplugs: even if the music and speakers aren't too deafening, the screams from the excited crowd are bound to be.
Get there early if you're standing and want to source a good spot and not-so-early if you're seated. Oasis will take to the stage in Cardiff at 20:15 with a strict curfew of 22:30.
Exact timings for the other shows are yet to be confirmed, but gigs at Wembley Stadium and other similar-sized venues generally finish by 11pm, to conform to noise pollution rules, so expect a kick off of around 8.30pm from Oasis; support acts will start much earlier. The Manchester date, which is taking place outside in Heaton Park, looks set to be more of a day festival-style set-up.
Ticket information
Tickets for the UK tour sold out in minutes, but it is worth keeping an eye on sites such as Ticketmaster, See Tickets and Twickets for returns and resale tickets.
Be careful of scams: unregulated websites purporting to have tickets will probably rip you off, and if you see an amazing bargain on social media, remember – if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Using PayPal to purchase tickets also adds another layer of protection: remember to mark the payment as 'Goods and Services' so the transaction is protected by the company's Buyer Protection Programme.

Oasis fans say gig-goer 'didn't deserve' ticket as they spot what she's doing
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Oasis fans worldwide who missed out on tickets for their Live '25 tour watched with envy as the highly anticipated reunion gigs kicked off in Cardiff on Friday (July 4). However, one fan who was present at the concert faced criticism for not recognising one of the biggest hits of the 90s. Liam and Noel Gallagher delighted Oasis fans at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on both Friday and Saturday (July 5) with a setlist packed with smash hits including Wonderwall, Supersonic, and Don't Look Back in Anger. They were supported by Cast and Richard Ashcroft, who warmed up the audience before the brothers took to the stage for the first time in 16 years. However, one fan in the crowd was caught on camera using the app Shazam to identify a hugely popular hit from the 90s - leading to some irate comments on social media questioning why she had bought a ticket. READ MORE - Oasis fans spot Liam Gallagher's heartwarming tribute to 'newest family member' READ MORE - Oasis fans 'devastated' over major omission from reunion tour setlist A TikTok account dedicated to both Oasis and Richard Ashcroft posted a video of The Verve frontman performing the band's biggest hit, Bitter Sweet Symphony, during the opening night of the tour on Friday. The video then sweeps across the crowd, most of whom were singing along to the well-known track, before focusing on one woman who had the Shazam app open on her phone. Shazam can identify a song just by listening to it and is widely used by people to find details about tracks playing in shops or even on adverts, reports the Mirror. Social media was abuzz with bafflement over a woman's apparent cluelessness regarding the 1997 anthem 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' at an Oasis gig, with some calling for the iconic tune to be hailed as the UK's "national anthem". The TikTok account quipped on the video: "Did they just Shazam the national anthem?". And further jibed in the caption: "Imagine not knowing the greatest song of all time." Many commenters chimed in, airing their disgruntlement that fans more worthy and knowledgeable did not nab tickets to the sold-out shows, arguing that some gig-goers were undeserving for not being word-perfect on major Britpop hits. (Image: PA) (Image: AFP via Getty Images) (Image: AFP via Getty Images) One irked fan vented: "There's no way I lost tickets to someone Shazaming one of the most popular songs of the Britpop era." Another incredulously remarked: "How are you going to an Oasis gig not knowing Bitter Sweet Symphony?". Even Jedward's official account plunged into the debate, stating unequivocally: "If you don't know Bitter Sweet Symphony, we can't be friends." Nonetheless, some defended the woman's position, underscoring that she was there for Oasis, not necessarily versed in the repertoire of supporting acts, however famous they might be considered. A sympathiser put forth: "Concerts were originally made for people to discover new music, not for die-hard fans who know every song; this is actually really valid of her." One person advocated for a more laid-back approach: "Going to a concert and not knowing all of the songs is normal, calm down." Meanwhile, Oasis enthusiasts were left "heartbroken" following the band's 23-song setlist in Cardiff this weekend, with one fan-favourite track notably absent from the running order.

I partied with Noel Gallagher in the 1990s and met him numerous times over 28 years - here's what he's REALLY like, and how fame changed him
A woman who partied with Noel Gallagher in the 1990s and met him numerous times over 28 years has revealed what he's really like - as Oasis returns for the first time in 16 years. Lily Moayeri, from California has been a music journalist since 1992, interviewing some of the world's most influential musicians at the start of their careers, including Oasis. She first met Noel during a night out in 1992, after she was invited to an after party by Manchester rock band Inspiral Carpets, who Noel was a roadie for. Since then, she has interviewed him many times over the course of his career. They developed a strong rapport, she wasn't afraid to ask the tough questions, and she could both take his banter and dish it right back. She described him as 'a show off' with a 'witty sense of humour', but she noticed a change in Noel around 1997. She claimed things were starting to feel 'different' as she noticed that Noel had stopped 'making eye contact with people' and by 2000 he was already talking about leaving the band. Speaking on the Pictures of Lily Podcast, she said: 'I first met Noel in 1992 when he was a roadie for the Inspiral Carpets, the Inspirals were apart of the Manchester craze which was happening at the start of that decade. 'My interview with their guitarist Graham Lambert was my second ever interview and they were my second favourite band at the time, so I was very excited. 'After the Inspiral's show Graham and the band invited me and my friends to hang out at a nearby bar, it was here that we were first exposed to the entity that is Noel Gallagher. 'Noel was so loud, so talkative and such a show off, he was dominating the whole place, he was very very funny and he had us in stitches the whole time. 'He kept on saying loads of negative stuff about the Inspiral Carpets and he said he was going to have a band "a hundred times better" and he kept on telling us how much they were paying him to be a roadie.' The next time she met Noel was two years later at the Chemical Brothers Heavenly Sunday social, after the Oasis album Definitely Maybe had been released. She recalled: 'I hadn't listened to it, and I had made my mind up without hearing it that I was over it. 'I didn't realise at the time but they were playing Oasis's Live Forever and the whole place was singing at the top of their lungs and the whole place was soaking it up. 'I didn't place him but I knew I had met him before, and I was going over to ask him "where do I know you from?" but I decided against it because I was having a really good time and I didn't want to start a conversation with some random dude.' 'Later that year I was watching MTV News and they were doing a segment on Oasis and they mentioned that Noel used to be the Inspiral Carpets roadie and everything fell into place.' A year later, after the release of What's the Story, Morning Glory, Lily got to meet Noel again, but this time for an interview. In 1995, they at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, Oasis were there to film the music video for Don't look Back in Anger. She said: 'I reminded Noel that we had met before and we had a super fun time during the interview. 'I was recording on cassette tape, I had another interview that week and I was running out of tape so I stopped the recording and Noel thought it was insane that I would stop just to save tape for someone else - in retrospect I see him point.' She said during the interview he went to buy cigarettes and she said they were cheaper down the road and he said "I don't care because I'm f***ing rich!" Noel said: 'I never thought we would get to this stage, I needed the money, well I made good money as a roadie but then I quit that.' In the interview, he claimed the songs Liam wrote were 's***', but he found it to be a 'a lot of pressure' as the main songwriter of the group. Noel wrote the vast majority of the band's songs, including many of their most iconic hits up until 2000. While Liam also wrote some songs for the band, such as Songbird and I'm Outta Time, Noel's songwriting was the foundation of Oasis's success. During Lily's 1995 interview with Noel he also opened up about his drug taking. He said: 'If we don't have an album or a single coming out the article is going to be about drug. I've never told a lie, if someone asks me a question, I give them a straight answer. 'It's not big and clever to take drugs, I'd rather be a healthy person but the culture I was brought up on in Manchester was about drugs and gangs, there is no getting away from it. 'I'd love to give up smoking, drinking and drugs but I'm not going to be a hypocritical, up my own a**, righteous f*****, telling people not to do it when I do it myself. 'Every does it anyway, and there is people who deny it and they lie to themselves, but I can't for the life of me see what the f**** it has to do with the music.' Elsewhere in the interview Noel said 'Oasis won't last forever' he added: 'It will last as it as it lasts, the next album might be the last one, but then we could go for another 10 albums, its as long as I feel comfortable.' The next time Lily saw Oasis was when they were opening up for U2 at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California in 1997. She claimed things were starting to feel 'different' as she noticed that Noel had stopped 'making eye contact with people'. In 2000, when she interviewed him again, Lily revealed it felt rushed and not as relaxed as it did in her earlier interviewers. Noel told her he had planned to leave the band because he 'had enough' and he 'didn't like the people' he had to work with. He said: 'I felt like we weren't going anywhere, it was useless. I felt my time would be better served as a solo artist so I gave up drug, rediscovered the writing bug, it was brilliant.' Nine years after that interview, Oasis officially announced their split days after their V Festival show on August 28, 2009. In her podcast, Lily said: 'The thing that I found with Noel is, he doesn't have deep seated loyalties, he has people who are loyal to him but he could drop his end of it without any explanation or reason instantly. 'There is always that fear surrounding him, I wasn't surprised when they other members of Oasis didn't follow him when the band broke up.' In another interview years later, Lily asked Noel if he wanted to have the same impact as Oasis had as a solo artist. He said: 'I didn't realise what had happened until it was all over, to be honest it' never going to happen again, it's never going to happen for me, it might not ever happen again in rock and roll. 'The music keeps on regenerating, it couldn't happen to me now what happened to Oasis then. I wouldn't be able to deal with that. Well, I would be able to deal with it but I wouldn't be able to enjoy it.' Lisa revealed that Noel has a 'witty sense of humour' and said you can always count on him for a laugh. However she did find it 'a little weird' that he used to always bring up money, how much things cost, how much he was getting paid, how much people should be paying him for things.

Colin Brazier: The day I discovered my millionaire grandfather
Five years ago, while explaining his conversion to Catholicism, America's vice-president, JD Vance, wrote that coincidences were evidence of 'the touch of God'. But how improbable need events be before rational explanations falter? I ask this, not for a friend, but myself. Last month, on Friday the 13th no less, something happened which stretches statistical credulity. And since I am already a Catholic, I am not minded to dismiss it as happenstance. I was sitting with my daughter at Lord's Cricket Ground when a message landed in my LinkedIn inbox. It was from a stranger, a woman claiming to be my aunt. A recent DNA test had apparently revealed the link. Without going into details, her story checked out. She also included two pictures of a man, bearing an unmistakable likeness to me, standing in front of a very grand house. This, she said, was my paternal grandfather, James JJ Doyle. Her disclosure was, to put it mildly, a surprise. I was raised knowing nothing about my father's side of the family (indeed, I had only learnt my father's true identity as a young man). Now, out-of-blue, came my grandfather's story. James 'Jimmy' Doyle was born in 1930 into extreme poverty in Hastings, where – coincidentally – I spent half a year training to be a journalist. He was a poor boy made good, up to a point. A spell in prison for handling stolen antiques (he was exposed by Esther Rantzen on That's Life) did not prevent a social ascent of Becky Sharp velocity. He became a property developer and in 1971 pulled off the biggest coup of his career. After 20 years of trying, he finally bought Wykehurst Place, a 105-room country house set in 180-acres of Sussex countryside. Doyle spent millions in today's money on a huge restoration project. Nikolaus Pevsner and Ian Nairn, in their influential series The Buildings Of England, described it as the 'epitome of high Victorian showiness and licence'. The house became the setting for films like The Eagle Has Landed starring Michael Caine. According to my newly-discovered aunt, her father was a man of strong dynastic instincts. His yearning for a male heir to inherit the family pile was never requited (he had seven daughters). The reality, unknown to him, was that he had fathered a boy as a teenager in Brighton. That baby, adopted by a couple far away in Yorkshire, became my father. Neither knew of the other's existence. Sadly, Doyle's life ultimately ended in ruin and despair. After divorce and bankruptcy, he killed himself in 1995. Learning of all this made me reflect that in a world where DNA home-testing kits are cheap and widely available, the discovery of hidden branches of family trees must be increasingly commonplace. Doyle's story was simply more colourful, and ultimately tragic, than many. But the genetic science that has made this possible is about more than ancestry tests. In the eternal debate about what makes people who they are, DNA now dominates the argument. Geneticists talk of characteristics as something we are born with, innate – not bred into us or learnt. When I look at the parallels between my life and that of my grandfather, do I see coincidence or genetic predisposition? Doyle had seven daughters and a son. I had a son and five daughters. Does that suggest a biological sex-bias in our DNA, something in our genes which made us both more likely to beget girls? Or, is it broader than that? There is evidence to suggest a genetic predisposition towards the decision to have children at all. What might feel like an act of free-will may actually have more to do with what lurks in our double-helix. Some scientists even believe that personality-traits like an openness to religion are genetically encoded. God-botherers like me are just born that way, it seems. But how to explain the other stuff? As anyone who has followed my 35-year-long career in television will testify (BBC, Sky, GB News), over the decades I have moved sharply and publicly to the Right. On X, I post regularly about immigration issues, motivated to a great extent by my upbringing in Bradford, a city used (disastrously in my view) as a giant laboratory for multiculturalism. Doyle, though ostensibly a businessman, was also of the Right. He founded the Racial Preservation Society, which campaigned in the 1960s and 1970s for an end to mass immigration. Until Friday the 13th, I had never heard of the Racial Preservation Society, nor of The British Independent, a newspaper founded and funded by Doyle. When I discovered Doyle's politics I was half-way through proof-reading a book about anti-Semitism for a Jewish friend. I have no time for racists. But I am also part of a growing cohort of commentators online and elsewhere who refuse to be shutdown by ideological enemies who use that slur to limit legitimate debate. I think Britain faces tough questions about its demographic future, and I am trying to explore them in the pages of The Salisbury Review, a conservative quarterly founded by the philosopher Roger Scruton and where I am now assistant editor. I have no idea how it compares to Doyle's British Independent. Yet it is odd that we should both be involved in Right-wing writing. If family formation and religiosity can be attributed to DNA, what about politics? But where does genetics stop and coincidence begin? And, indeed, where does a coincidence become so improbable that it veers beyond the bounds of reasonable likelihood? It is odd that I should call my only son John Joseph, even though I never knew James JJ (John Joseph) Doyle. It is strange that my grandfather, when he sold Wykehurst Park in 1981, should buy a slightly lesser mansion, now apparently inhabited by a famous English journalist and media personality (Piers Morgan). Yet these are everyday coincidences. How, though, to account for Bolney? I had never heard of Bolney, a village in Sussex, until a friend gave me a Virgin voucher as a wedding present last year. It was for a tour around a vineyard located there. We forgot all about it until, while my wife was organising her desk six weeks ago, she stumbled upon the card and noticed that the gift was about to expire. We decided to book a room there and spend a day walking on the South Downs. That was a few days before Friday the 13th. There are more than 6,000 villages in Britain and yet the one that had come to our attention was the very village in which Wykehurst Place sits. The home, not just of a vineyard, but of my paternal grandfather. What are the odds? The dictionary defines a coincidence as 'a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection'. I prefer the definition given by the late Alistair Cooke, long-time and much-loved host of BBC radio's Letter From America. Extreme coincidence was, he said in a letter about the subject in 2001, a potential gift of grace. 'Somebody,' he said, 'is saying 'stay the course' … reminding you that they have you in mind.'
