Meanwhile, it comes as Oasis's co-manager has said the band has no intentions of releasing new music, with their 2025 reunion tour being their last.
'This is very much the last time around, as Noel's made clear in the press,' Alec McKinlay told Music Week. 'It's a chance for fans who haven't seen the band to see them, or at least for some of them to. But no, there's no plan for any new music.'
The 41-date tour will kick off on July 4 in Cardiff, and stretch across the UK, Ireland, North America, Asia, Australia and South America. McKinlay is the co-director of Ignition, the company managing Oasis since 1993. He's also the director of their label, Big Brother. Liam Gallagher of Oasis performing at Slane Castle in 2009.

'Probably the biggest and most pleasing surprise of the reunion announcement is how huge it was internationally,' McKinlay added. 'Honestly, we knew it would be big here, and that doesn't take much intuition. But looking outside the UK, we knew they had a strong fanbase; we did all the stats. We were quite cautious about what that would mean when it came to people actually buying tickets but we were just bowled over by how huge it was. We could have sold out half a dozen Rose Bowls in Pasadena and probably eight MetLife stadiums in New York in a day.'
Oasis recently reissued their single 'Some Might Say' in a vinyl edition. Their 30th anniversary Definitely Maybe reissue brought them back to a No. 1 placement in September of 2024, with their 2010 best-of compilation Time Flies never leaving the UK Top 100 since 2017.

Oasis calling on fans to share 'deep meaning' stories for tour film
Oasis fans are being invited to share their stories about "a particular song" that holds "deep meaning" to them for the Oasis Live '25 Tour film. Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is producing the reuniting Britpop legends' documentary, with renowned filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace on board to direct - the duo behind LCD Soundsystem's concert film Shut Up And Play The Hits. Magna Studios - whose credits include Beastie Boys Story, Gangs Of London, 20000 Days On Earth, and Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now - are heading up the production and are asking fans to send in their special memories associated with the Live Forever hitmakers' songs for potential inclusion in the film. A post on the website read: "Now, in the year of Oasis' sell out reunion tour, Magna Studios and Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, A Thousand Blows) - in association with Oasis - are making a film exploring how this band's music has become so important to so many. "We are asking people all over the world if there is a particular Oasis song that has deep meaning for you. A song that tells the story of a life changing moment, a love, a loss, a heartbreak, or a break for freedom. "Whatever the Oasis song, whatever the story – tell us…" Oasis' UK and Ireland shows - their first in 16 years - will kick off in Cardiff on July 4 and see them joined by special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast. The Supersonic band will also play USA, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil. Meanwhile, frontman Liam Gallagher recently dismissed fan concerns over his vocal health ahead of the long-awaited reunion tour. The 52-year-old frontman - who has Hashimoto's disease, which can cause a hoarse voice - sparked a frenzy online after posting about taking throat lozenges, sour candies and cough syrup, prompting speculation from fans that his voice might not hold up during his and older brother Noel's upcoming stadium comeback shows this summer. One fan messaged him on X after his admission: "@liamgallagher If you need that many throat stuff does that mean anytime your voice can still go? We don't want cancellations." Liam replied: "Shut up you melt." Another user asked the singer: "@liamgallagher Did you eat all your sour throat candies yesterday?" – to which Liam responded: "@adele_liam I did 2 pacs." The Oasis reunion marks the first time the band have performed together since 2009, when they split after a backstage altercation between the siblings at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events of the decade. Rehearsals kicked off in London, with Liam joining his bandmates — including his brother Noel, 58 — for rehearsals this week.

Picture This frontman can't wait to see Oasis live as the Irish band hit the road
Back with a new EP and set to tour Ireland, Picture This star Ryan Hennessy is also bracing himself for the Oasis live experience. He was too young to see his idols the first time around, so Picture This star Ryan Hennessy is bracing himself for the experience of his life when Oasis come to town in August. Back with a new EP and set to tour Ireland, the Picture This frontman tells Magazine+ that he understands his own band's appeal to fans because he's a 'superfan' himself. 'For us it's always just naturally been about the fans, I think because we're such big fans of music ourselves,' Ryan says. 'I love being a fan of things, I'm a huge Man United fan, I'm a huge Oasis fan, I'm super passionate about Leonard Cohen… people like that get me so excited.' Ryan, Jimmy, Owen and Cliff are releasing a new EP News in 90 Seconds - 6th June 2025 'I'm a super fan and I don't find it embarrassing. 'I'm sorted for a ticket for Oasis in Croke Park and it will be a huge moment for me because I've never seen them live. I was just too young to catch them and they mean everything to me and have meant everything to me since I can remember, and have informed so much of my life. 'It's going to be a crazy moment for me to see them on stage. I don't know how I'm going to feel, actually, seeing them. I've seen Liam and Noel separately playing their solo stuff and that alone is just so amazing to see. But the two of them standing on stage together is going to be an incredible moment.' Picture This lead singer Ryan Hennessy on stage at Belsonic I've been interviewing Picture This since the start of their career and have seen them navigate the often shark-infested waters of the music business… and live to tell the tale. Nearly 10 years down the line, frontman Hennessy, Jimmy Rainsford (drums), Owen Cardiff (guitar) and Cliff Dean (bass) are enjoying the self-assurance that comes with experience. 'We're leading an extraordinary life, but we're ordinary people and I used to be afraid of saying that. I think it was maybe an ego thing,' Ryan says. 'I didn't want people to think I was ordinary. I wanted people to think I was extraordinary, but the older I get and the more mature I get I realise that I'm just as ordinary as anybody else. 'I'm just very lucky that I lead an extraordinary life and very, very grateful that that's the case. But I like being grounded and on earth with the boys and not being away with the fairies.' Rainsford acknowledges how their wealth of experience has shaped the band. 'It's true that we're very experienced now, we know what we're doing, we have great trust in our team and our fans and we've never been happier creating music than we are today,' Jimmy says. Picture This 'We're always trying to up the stakes a little bit because that's what the fans expect. That's what I would expect from my favourite band anyway. 'I want to be challenged as a fan. I want to be told what to listen to and like and I want to be inspired.' Picture This have weathered many a storm throughout their career. 'Oh we have!' Jimmy says. 'We've had some big storms, the biggest one being the coronavirus. It was just a terrible time and our career was hanging in the balance. 'But in a way I feel kind of thankful for that happening because it really made us stop and realise what we have and how lucky we are. I probably subconsciously still think about that. 'To weather those storms and come back stronger was really important because this is all we do. We don't have any other hobbies.' Picture This will play all over Ireland this summer, coming to a town and city near you. 'It's that old-school approach,' Ryan says. 'We're from Kildare so we know how it feels to forgotten about or overlooked or passed through while people are on the way to Dublin. 'So instead of people travelling to see us, we're coming to see them in their home area.' Releasing today, their new EP, Let The Light In, which includes Let's Try Love and A Thousand Times, is a set of stripped down songs with their unique storytelling. 'It was just the four of us hanging out and playing songs together and they just ended up coming out in that more acoustic stripped style,' Jimmy reveals. 'There are no bells and whistles… just pure storytelling and pure heart and pure craic between four friends.' THE LOWDOWN: Picture This released their new EP, Let The Light In on Friday.

30 years ago this week: Van Morrison released Days Like This
In 1995, Britpop was in full flow thanks to the Blur-Oasis feud, as well as Supergrass's memorable hit 'Alright' and Pulp's classic album Different Class. Meanwhile, following on from Massive Attack's international success, the Bristol trip-hop scene threw up another genius in the shape of Tricky, whose debut Maxinquaye was an innovative and daring masterwork. In Ireland, one of our greatest ever artists offered a stunning reminder of his enduring brilliance. Van Morrison's place in the rock pantheon had long been assured thanks to the Them classic 'Gloria' and his '60s opus Astral Weeks, the lyrical depth of which drew comparisons to Bob Dylan. With the title track of his 1995 LP Days Like This, Van hit another creative high point: a sublime soul effort underpinned by a moving sense of hard-earned celebration. Adopted as an anthem of the peace movement in Northern Ireland, in a symbolic moment Van would perform the track before a massive Belfast audience during Bill Clinton's Presidential visit in November '95. – Paul Nolan Praying to his higher self, mentioning Belfast and the town called Paradise. Another meditation in the line that stretches from as far back as 'T.B. Sheets' up through Astral Weeks, 'Listen To The Lion', side one of Veedon Fleece, 'In The Garden', and all his other hymns to enlightenment. Morrison Moment: When Van goes beyond language for the last minute, growling, then singing at the top of his range, then blowing into the harmonica, then stabbing at the Hammond organ, all at the same time. Probably. – Pat Carthy Back in 2020, Hot Press celebrated Van Morrison's 75th birthday with a special YouTube series 'Rave On, Van Morrison' – featuring some of Ireland's most acclaimed artists performing songs from across Van's career. Watch Eleanor McEvoy perform 'Songwriter' from Days Like This: And watch Brian Kennedy, who contributed backing vocals to the original recording, performing 'Days Like This':
