LONDON (Reuters) – Oasis announced three extra concert dates on Thursday for their comeback tour of the UK and Ireland due to unprecedented demand from fans desperate to see the band live for the first time in 15 years.
The group, whose debut album “Definitely Maybe” was released 30 years ago, split in 2009 when lead guitarist and main songwriter Noel Gallagher said he could no longer work with singer Liam after a string of public spats between the brothers.
The band initially announced 14 shows, with the first due to take place in Cardiff in July 2025, followed by nights in Manchester – where the band was formed in 1991 – London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
A pre-sale ballot opened on Tuesday to ensure the maximum number of fans had a chance to access tickets ahead of general sale on Saturday.
As a result of unprecedented demand, Oasis added three UK dates to the tour with extra concerts in Manchester, London and Edinburgh, the band said on X.
