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.

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.
