Last week The Sun On Sunday revealed the look for the ads was based on
Oasis shot to fame with their 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe.
They sold more than 70 million records worldwide and clocked up eight UK No1 singles and just as many UK No1 albums.
But the brothers' relationship became increasingly fraught and they split up before they were due to play a gig in Paris in August 2009.
The brothers then traded insults for years - with Liam comparing Noel to a 'potato' and branding his new ban High Flying
Birds
the 'high flying turds'.
Meanwhile, Noel called his younger brother 'a fat man in an anorak'.
However rumours of a reunion started in early 2024 — and The Sun revealed last August that
They will play 19 shows in the UK and Ireland this summer, all of which sold out in minutes, before touring the US, Australia and South America across September, October and November.
A source said of rehearsals for the tour: 'The sessions are looking to start around mid-May.
'It's going to be short but sweet.
"The band haven't all played together in a long time but when it comes to performing Oasis tracks, it's like riding a bike.
'It's just a question of making sure that everyone is up to speed and that they have the set-list tracks nailed down.'
Richard Ashcroft and Cast have been confirmed as the support acts.

Mayo property owned by Liam and Noel Gallagher's grandmother put up for sale
A property once owned by Liam and Noel Gallagher's maternal grandmother in Co Mayo has been put up for sale. The recently-renovated two-bedroom cottage is located in Sonnagh, Charlestown, where the brothers' mother, Peggy, and their grandmother, Margret, originally hail from. The Oasis front man and guitarist, who often speak fondly of their Mayo roots, would have spent many childhood summers at the cottage, having journeyed back across the Irish sea from Manchester. Such is their connection to the town, during last weekend's sellout Saturday gig at Croke Park, Liam Gallagher asked the crowd: "Anyone here from Mayo, Charlestown?" When the 80,000 strong audience cheered in reply, Liam said: "There's only about five people there, you can't all be f*****g from there." Liam Gallagher whips up the crowd at Croke Park last weekend. Picture: Chani Anderson He then dedicated the track Roll With It to the town. Later in the same show, he dedicated the track Stand By Me to his mother. Liam and Noel's maternal grandmother, Margeret Sweeney, died in September, 2000, just a few weeks short of her 80th birthday. Her former home is set on six acres of land on which there is a natural spring and the ruins of a former corn mill. The Sonnagh River also runs through the site. The internal accommodation extends to approximately 83.6 sqm/900 sq ft and comprises entrance hall, a large open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, two double bedrooms and two shower rooms. The home, situated just 10km from Knock Airport, is now on the market for €350,000. The sale is being handled by DNG Country Homes & Estates in Ranelagh, Dublin, an affiliate of Hamptons International, and DNG Cyril Burke, in Castlebar. The cottage is located in Sonnagh, Charlestown, Co Mayo. Picture: According to the property listing, the Gallagher family would have spent "many childhood summers in this house, enjoying the freedom of the countryside setting and soaking up the musical traditions of the Charlestown locality". "Having just played two sold out gigs in Dublin, the residents of Charlestown may be expecting a visit from the famous Gallaghers as they are very proud of their Mayo heritage, and many fans are making the pilgrimage to Co Mayo in the hope of having a chance encounter with their idols". Indeed, while many locals in Charlestown had hoped the siblings might have visited the town in the wake of their shows in Croke Park last Saturday and Sunday there have not been any confirmed sightings of the brothers in the area over recent days. Oasis's next gig takes place in Toronto this weekend. You can view the full sale listing for the house here.

Oasis at Croke Park: How much were the concerts worth to the GAA
Last weekend's unforgettable sold-out Oasis gigs at Croke Park will net the GAA a multi-million euro bonanza. It is estimated that the Manchester band's two nights at GAA HQ were worth around €10m to the local economy, with Digital bank Revolut reporting a 9pc jump in spending by its customers in Dublin compared to the previous weekend. And, for the rental of Croke Park for last Saturday and Sunday, the GAA is in line for €2m plus in revenue. READ MORE: All-Ireland winner's team granted replay in GAA county final after new rules blunder READ MORE: Exclusive: Davy Fitzgerald makes up his mind on his Antrim future While there were six concerts at the venue last year - making it the 10th busiest stadium venue worldwide for concert attendances - there are only three this year, the Oasis extravaganzas and this Saturday's Robbie Williams gig. It is estimated that Croke Park earned around €4.5m for Coldplay's four sold-out nights at the stadium in Dublin 1, and Croke Park took in nearly €60m in 2024 between sports and events rental and ancillary income, producing a dividend of €16m for the GAA. Meanwhile, it has been revealed today that Croke Park has undergone a major LED floodlight upgrade by Musco Lighting and McSherry Electrical. The new LED system will debut at the NFL Global Series game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings at the Jones's Road venue - the first-ever NFL game to be held in Ireland.

Previous Musco projects include Aviva Stadium, Wembley Stadium, Etihad Stadium, Principality Stadium, Chadwicks Wexford Park, and Galway's Pearse Stadium. "Upgrading our floodlights to a state-of-the-art LED system is a major milestone in our drive for sustainability and innovation," said Peter McKenna, the Stadium Director at Croke Park. "This system enhances playing conditions, improves energy efficiency, and ensures Croke Park continues to deliver world-class events while reducing our carbon footprint. We are excited to be working with Musco on this important project for the stadium." Chris Limpach, Director of Europe, Middle East & Africa Business at Musco Lighting, added: "Croke Park is a place where the history speaks for itself. "It's hosted unforgettable events and is a source of pride for the entire nation. We're honoured to help usher in a new era of performance and sustainability with our LED technology."

Charlestown cottage where Oasis spent their childhood summers is up for sale
The Gallagher brothers are said to have spent many childhood summers there and have often spoken fondly of their Mayo roots. Even after finding fame, they continued visiting their grandmother until her passing in 2000. The recently renovated cottage, in Sonnagh, Charlestown, has gone on the market with an asking price of €350,000. Set on six acres with the Sonnagh River running through the grounds, the property features c. 900 sq ft of living space, including an entrance hall that leads into an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, two double bedrooms and two shower rooms. The master bedroom includes an ensuite. The property is described as ideal for 'anyone looking for a link to the musical legend that is Oasis'. Alternatively it is said to be an ideal holiday home, as the property description put it: 'imagine the guests' excitement to stay where the Gallagher brothers spent their childhood summers.' The cottage is located roughly 10km from Knock Airport and is within walking distance of the centre of Charlestown. Oasis recently played two sold-out nights at Croke Park. During one of the shows, Liam paid tribute to Charlestown, dedicating the band's hit single 'Roll With It' to the Mayo town. 'Is anyone here from Charlestown?' he asked the 80,000-strong crowd, before joking, 'There's only about five people there, you can't all be from there.' He also dedicated the song 'Stand By Me' to his mother Peggy, who was in the crowd. 'I wanna play this one to me mam,' he told the cheering fans. Peggy Gallagher herself grew up in Sonnagh, living there for 18 years before emigrating to Manchester in search of better opportunities during Ireland's economically difficult years. News of the sale has stirred excitement in the town, with residents hoping the famous brothers might return to Charlestown. Some fans have already made their way to Mayo this week, eager for a glimpse of the brothers. On Tuesday, the Irish Independent reported that a private plane coming from Dublin had landed at Ireland West Knock airport, fuelling speculation that the Gallaghers had touched down in Mayo. While the pair have yet to be spotted, fans are hopeful they will make an appearance before heading to Toronto, where Oasis are due to perform on Sunday, August 24. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more The sale is being handled by Castlebar-based auctioneers DNG Cyril Burke, along with DNG Country Homes & Estates, and Hamptons International. Local auctioneer Cyril Burke said the company is delighted that the owner came to them to market the property. 'We certainly are making every effort to give it the exposure it deserves as it's a fabulous property and has a wonderful history where the Gallagher brothers of Oasis fame enjoyed a welcoming childhood with their family in the past, which they have never failed to highlight.' Rumours are spreading that the brothers might already be in the West of Ireland. Charlestown is waiting eagerly for their return. Whether Noel and Liam will be spotted walking down the street, or venturing into a local pub for a pint remains to be seen. Residents and fans are watching closely, hoping Mayo might once again welcome home its favourite Manchester pair. This article has been funded by the Local Democracy Reporting Scheme.
