After 16 years spent languishing in the memory as Britain’s biggest band, to perform in stadiums and parks across the country next summer. Liam and Noel Gallagher have apparently resolved their , buried the hatchet and decided to treat millions of music-lovers to a show they’ll never forget. We’re yet to find out who else will definitely join the Gallagher’s next summer, but rumours suggest that bassist Gem Archer, drummer Chris Sharrock and lead guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs will return to playing with the band.

The reunion has seemingly excited the entire country, meaning tickets will also be in huge demand. From where to buy them to how much they cost, here’s everything you need to know about buying tickets – and securing your spot in the front row to scream along with Live Forever or Rock ‘n’ Roll Star with Manchester’s favourite warring brothers. The tour kicks off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on July 4 – just one week after Glastonbury, which sent the rumour mill into overdrive before the band’s official account on the Pyramid Stage – for two nights, with the band then set to perform at Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh’s Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin’s Croke Park.



International dates will follow later in the year. On August 29, three more dates were added at Heaton Park on July 16, Wembley on July 30 and Edinburgh on August 12. 4 – Cardiff, Principality Stadium 5 – Cardiff, Principality Stadium 11 – Manchester, Heaton Park 12 – Manchester, Heaton Park 16 – Manchester, Heaton Park 19 – Manchester, Heaton Park 20 – Manchester, Heaton Park 25 – London, Wembley Stadium 26 – London, Wembley Stadium 30 – London, Wembley Stadium 2 – London, Wembley Stadium 3 – London, Wembley Stadium 8 – Edinburgh, Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium 9 – Edinburgh, Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium 12 – Edinburgh, Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium 16 – Dublin, Croke Park 17 – Dublin, Croke Park 'This is it, this is happening' Tickets on sale this Saturday 31st August (🇮🇪8AM IST / 🇬🇧9AM BST) Dates: Cardiff Principality Stadium - 4th/5th July Manchester Heaton Park - 11th/12th/19th/20th July London Wembley Stadium - 25th/26th July & 2nd/3rd August Edinburgh Scottish Gas.

— Oasis (@oasis) If successful in the ballot, Tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis – entry in the ballot doesn’t guarantee you a ticket. If successful, you’ll receive an email granting you access to tomorrow’s pre-sale. Good luck.

Did you know the answer straight away? If so, you might have better luck getting through Oasis’s pre-sale ballot (detailed above), as this is the question automatically asked of fans when they sign up. Fans are given three possible answers – Chris Sharrock, Tony McCarroll and Alan White – and asked to select one. The correct answer, of course, is Tony McCarroll, who was in the band until he left in 1995.

Fans who have signed up to the pre-sale are also asked how many times they have seen Oasis live and their age demographic. These answers aren’t likely to impact the chance of securing a pre-sale link, but could be used to track which demographics are buying tickets. Hyper-loyal Oasis fans needn’t bother with the stress of the general pre-sale, apparently – social media users have been busy sharing pictures of a special link sent to those who have supported the band’s website regularly over the years, whether that be buying merchandise or albums.

As yet, we don’t know for certain. But everyone will want a piece of this tour; nabbing a support slot could make any new band or artist coming up in Britain at the moment. So who are the contenders? Indie bands Fontaines D.

C. and Catfish and the Bottlemen have been dealt the unfortunate hand of having their own outdoor (in Finsbury Park) and stadium gigs (at Tottenham Hotspur) clash with Oasis, so they’re out; but Stockport outfit Blossoms – whose gig this weekend at Wythenshawe Park had one of the teasing dates pop up on screen – are surely nailed on. Elsewhere, rumours range from Kasabian, Richard Ashcroft and Cast to Liam’s son Gene’s band, Villanelle.

Social media users have also suggested that Noel’s professed admiration for Irish hip hop outfit Kneecap could secure them a spot at Croke Park. Again, we don’t yet know who’ll definitely be joining the Gallaghers on stage. But our critic, Neil McCormick, has some thoughts.

“It is not going to be the lineup that first rocked Britain,” , “though perhaps rhythm guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs (who frequently appears onstage with Liam) might find a role. Drummers Tony McCarroll and Alan White both fell out of favour, whilst original bassist Paul McGuigan has stayed out of the music business since quitting Oasis in 2002. “Most likely replacement guitarist Gem Archer and session drummer Chris Sharrock will reappear, who both currently play in Noel’s High Flying Birds but also played in Liam’s post-Oasis band Beady Eye.

Will Noel’s long serving sideman Russell Pritchard be recruited on bass, or will Andy Bell (currently back leading his own admired Britpop era band Ride) return?” The Sun reports that Bonehead will indeed join Liam and Noel on stage – and also that organisers are preparing to announce even more dates, once the first run has sold out..
