Oasis heard performing soundcheck in Cardiff ahead of tour
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).
However, fans got a sneak peek of the band in action on Monday (June 30), with Oasis performing a soundcheck at Principality Stadium.
Videos of the soundcheck have flooded social media, much to the delight of fans.
Most videos, recorded by people passing by Principality Stadium, show the band performing their hit song Cigarettes and Alcohol.

Oasis fans have commented on the videos, excited to be hearing the band live for the first time in more than 15 years.
One person, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said: "Epic! Cannot wait for Friday!!"
Another added: "I know this is just a sound check, but the bumps are goosing."
A third fan commented: "I've been chilled about not getting tickets but that is cool as f**k. Shivers."

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."
I've been in my pool 🏊 all day doing under water 💦 farts 💨 so it's defo a recording from rehearsals unless there's 2 of me which I'm absolutely 1 million per cent here for well there for as well
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."

Love Island fans baffled as latest episode 'cut short' amid bombshell drama
The Love Island villa was graced with the arrival of two more bombshells tonight, as Billykiss and Ryan wasted no time in taking some of the Islanders on a date The Love Island villa was rocked with even more drama tonight, as bombshells Billykiss and Ryan made their shock entrance into the villa. However, fans were left baffled when tonight's episode was seemingly cut short just as the drama started to heat up. The new arrivals wasted no time in getting to know their fellow Islanders, as they headed out on dates straight away. Ryan chose Shakira and Toni to take out on a date, while Billykiss decided to date both Dejon and Conor. After the dates, Billykiss and Ryan entered the regular villa where they met the rest of the Islanders. Billykiss gathered around the fire pit with the girls while Ryan updated the boys on his dates with Shakira and Toni. However, fans didn't see much after that, as the show finished 7 minutes earlier than scheduled. The ITV2 schedule said the episode would be running until 10.05 - but fans' trip to the villa ended at 9.58 - just as Meg was heard worrying about Dejon's attraction towards the new bombshell. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: "THERES ANOTHER 7 MINUTES LEFT." A second penned: "No tomorrow night and finishes 6 mins early!" A third confused fan penned: "Weird part to end it on it ended a few minutes early." It seems Dejon is popular amongst the new bombshells, having been chosen for several dates. However, this didn't go down well with Meg, who was visibly fed up with the number of tests she and Dejon were having to undergo. As Billykiss walked through the main villa, Dejon gushed over her figure with the other guys, as a worried Meg said she thinks the new bombshell would be the one to turn heads. However, fans were left fuming when the episode came to an end on the abrupt cliffhanger. Fans weren't shown a snippet of tomorrow night either, which has been a reoccurring theme in this series. Although there have been some episodes where they're shown snippets of the next day - most of the time they wait for the first look the following afternoon to see what's in store. Elsewhere, sparks could be flying for Shakira and Ryan as she informed him that she had broken things off with Harry before the date. It came after she became aware of Harry and Helena's X-rated comments towards each other during last night's heart rate challenge. It came at a sensitive time for Shakira, just one day after Harry chose to snog his ex, Helena, in the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge. Enough was enough for Shakira, as earlier in the episode, she was completely over their relationship as she couldn't be bothered to be involved in the love triangle. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

One fan now makes his living impersonating Liam LOVE FOREVER We're proper Oasis superfans who fell in love over iconic group & got married – we even named our son after band member Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN Oasis announced they were reforming last year, most of the nation gasped in shock, got super- excited . . . and then went back to their daily lives. But for some, the reunion was what they had spent years of their lives discussing, analysing and hoping, wishing and praying for. 12 Emily Cleary met future husband Jamie as a teenager on a bus to her first Oasis gig Credit: Emily Cleary Because when original members Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Guigsy and Tony McCarroll burst on to the scene in 1994, Oasis changed their lives for ever. Here, we speak to five superfans who met their partners or found their calling through the band. "I always loved bumping into this guy who had been on the journey with me from the start" - Emily Cleary MUM-OF-TWO Emily, 47, from Gerrards Cross, Bucks, met future husband Jamie as a teenager at her first Oasis gig. She says: "I first set eyes on Jamie when I sat next to him on an eight-hour coach trip to Paris in 1995. 12 Emily and Jamie are now married with two children Credit: Emily Cleary 12 Emily at age 16, the year she met Jamie Credit: Supplied 12 And After All: A Fan History Of Oasis tells the story of the band's superfans Credit: Melissa Locker I was 16 and had somehow convinced my mum I would be perfectly safe travelling with a group of four boys to the French capital to watch a rock 'n' roll band play at the Bataclan. While my girl friends were into Take That, I was obsessed with Oasis. And as we boarded the 5am bus from London's Victoria, I sat down next to Jamie, who I only knew through mutual friends. Liam Gallagher reveals new details about Oasis tour – before quickly deleting post We travelled to Paris, watched Oasis bring the house down, and I returned a lifelong fan. The gig was amazing, so we decided to go to Glastonbury to watch them a few months later. That appearance at Glasto was the first time we heard Don't Look Back In Anger, and I remember my spine tingling as I looked at Jamie. This was something special. Time passed and over the next ten years I saw Oasis at Knebworth, Earls Court, Wembley and more. Sometimes I'd bump into Jamie and I'd always love seeing this guy who had been on the Oasis journey with me from the beginning – and I rather fancied him. 12 Emily and Jamie's inscribed wedding rings Credit: Supplied As I approached 30, Facebook was invented and Jamie and I got back in touch properly. We started to plan a Glastonbury trip and book gigs to go to, including Oasis at the Eden Project. Friendship developed into more, and soon we were a couple. So in July 2009 and newly engaged, off we traipsed to Cornwall to watch what was to be one of their last gigs. Shortly after failing to catch Liam's tambourine, we got married, and now have two kids. The first song played when we were married was Live Forever, and our wedding rings are both inscribed with 'Live Forever'. On Friday, Jamie and I, plus two of the original Paris group, will travel to Cardiff to see Oasis's first reunion gig. A month later we will take our kids to Wembley to watch them. Everything has come full circle." "After I met Justin briefly at a concert, the universe just kept throwing us back together" - Lisa Marks LISA, 41, from Canada, met her husband Justin through their love of Oasis – and named her children after them. She says: "My son Liam, 13, was named after, well, Liam, and my 11-year-old daughter Jill is named after one of the band's most legendary photographers, Jill Furmanovsky. 12 Canadian Lisa met her husband Justin through their love of Oasis – and named her children after them Credit: Supplied 12 Lisa with her hero Noel Credit: Supplied 12 Lisa with Liam, who she named her son after Credit: Supplied But it didn't just inspire my parenting, it shaped my entire life.

The song I love the most is Whatever. I had a hard time in school. I was bullied and ended up changing schools. It made me feel, 'F*** you all. I'm going to be whatever I want to be'. While my classmates went mad for the Spice Girls, I launched The Liam Lover's Club, sold Oasis bootlegs on eBay and had the email address 'timeforliam'. Then on June 17, 2005, I met Justin briefly at an Oasis gig. 12 Lisa reconnected with Justin at a Noel solo gig Credit: Supplied I was in a relationship at the time, but we stayed in touch through MSN Messenger, swapping messages about Oasis news and ticket sales. Later, when I was single in 2006, I reconnected with him while buying a gift at HMV – after spotting a Liam Gallagher photo taped to the till and discovering from the cashier that Noel would be playing locally. When I messaged Justin about it he revealed that he was working at HMV, it was his picture of Liam taped to the till that I'd seen and it was his tip – from a music industry pal – that I'd heard about. The universe just kept throwing us back together. We reunited at a Noel acoustic gig in November 2006 and got together not long after. It was so corny but our first kiss was while Wonderwall was playing. We married in September 2010, with matching rings engraved with 'I U OASISGRL' and 'And7 we can slide away'.
