Oasis have added brand new dates to their 2025 reunion tour due to ‘unprecedented demand’.
The group announced their shock comeback earlier this week with 14 shows across the UK and Ireland.
Those included four nights on home turf at Heaton Park as well as gigs at Wembley Stadium and Murrayfield Stadium. As Liam Gallagher would say – biblical.
Oasis have now announced that they’re adding three more dates to their run of shows.
Registrations for pre-sale tickets ended last night, and it looks like the demand has been high.

Given that fans have waited 15 long years to see Liam and Noel Gallagher put aside their differences and get back on the road, this is no great surprise.
They wrote today: “Due to unprecedented demand, three new UK dates will be added to Oasis Live ‘25.”

The huge Oasis tour will now include five nights at Heaton Park, with the group adding a show on 16 July to their tour dates.
Another night at Wembley Stadium on 30 July, and one in Edinburgh on 12 August, have also been announced today.
Yesterday, Oasis also dropped a hint that a world tour might be on the way…

Fans fume as Ticketmaster sells ‘In Demand’ Oasis tickets for £355Daisy Jackson
A new ‘In Demand’ ticket type has suddenly appeared in the ongoing scramble for the Oasis reunion tour.
Fans are voicing their frustrations after making it through almost four-hour-long queues to find that tickets are HUNDREDS of pounds more expensive than advertised.
Oasis tickets were supposed to cost £148.50 for their Manchester shows, but the new ‘In Demand’ tickets are £355.20.
This is what Ticketmaster says about In Demand tickets: “Promoters and artists set ticket prices. Prices can be either fixed or market-based. Market-based tickets are labelled as ‘Platinum’ or ‘In Demand’.”
It basically means that the huge demand for Oasis tickets has lead to some of them being sold at higher, dynamic prices, much like the way flights and hotels get more expensive when demand is higher.
These In Demand tickets for Oasis do not include any extra package details – they are the same general admission tickets as all the others.
Fans are absolutely stunned at the development after Oasis made a huge point of not allowing tickets to be listed on resale platforms for anything more than face value.
One person posted: “How the f*ck is this even allowed??? You said standing was £150 and upped them to £356 and called them ‘in demand’ you bunch of robbing f*ckers”

Another wrote: “‘In demand standing ticket’ is just a standard standing ticket except double the price. No difference between Ticketmaster and touts.”
Someone else said: “That feeling when you wait in a queue for four hours only to be told the price of the ticket has risen from £148 to… £355??? Because they’re ‘in demand’. How is this not illegal?”
One person posted: “putting prices up from £148 to £350 for Heaton park as “in demand standing”… as opposed to what?!? There’s no other choice it’s a f*cking field”
Another said: “Well there’s 4 hours of my life I’ll never get back! Get to the front of the queue to find “In Demand standing tickets” are only available at £355. For that price I’d want to be on stage playing guitar and singing Wonderwall myself.”

Tributes pour in for much-loved Manchester DJ Luke Leadbelly after his deathDaisy Jackson
Local DJ and producer Luke Leadbelly has died after a short illness, with tributes pouring in.
The young DJ was a familiar face behind the decks at clubs, festivals and events right across Manchester.
Luke had been diagnosed with AML cancer, a type of blood cancer, and ‘fought many rough months’ before passing away on Sunday 25 August.
A GoFundMe has now been set up to help his family and to give him ‘the send off he deserved’.
Several event organisers and clubs around Manchester are now paying moving tributes to Luke.
Hit and Run, a local club night, shared: “Just wanted to take a moment to big up our dear departed friend @lukeleadbelly – who recently left this world after a brief illness
“He was a key figure – especially in the first decade of the night. He played several of the @hitandrunuk takeovers and boat parties at @outlookfestival, as well as our first 2 room takeovers at @fabriclondonofficial – plus countless HIT & RUN’s, especially the Grime takeovers, whether we were doing a joint event with his crew @p13_mcr or not.
“He was a wicked DJ, dedicated producer for nearly 20 years, and one of the sweetest spirits you could ever hope to meet.
“We are truly shocked by the news, and send love to his family and loved ones at this most difficult of times.
“He will always be remembered with the utmost affection by all of us here at @hitandrunuk”
The GoFundMe page said: “Sadly on the Sunday 25 August 2024 Luke lost his fight to AML cancer. After his diagnosis, Luke fought through many rough months till his body gave in and he finally passed away.
“Luke truly was one of a kind and we’re hoping to raise some funds towards the funeral; to help the family and give him the send off he deserved. Any donation will be greatly appreciated.”
DJ Rich Reason shared: “Really gutted to hear that our friend @lukeleadbelly has just died – all happened so quickly, it’s difficult to get your head around it at all.
“Such a sweet and kind soul, with the cheekiest and widest smile; had mad love for the guy, and his fashion sense too! Always so happy to see him when out & about.
“He was a key presence in so many milestone moments for @hitandrunuk and will never be forgotten; also for his tunes with @tumarnigresham & @skittlesuk, his residency at @p13_mcr, countless sets with @mcrchunky & @strategyyeah
“So sorry that so many people I know & love will be hurting a lot right now. Seems so cruel when he was really on the up and was obviously so happy in life and in love. This one hurts. Big Love Luke, Rest easy.”
DJ Katie Cooper wrote: “LJ, Luke, Beeb. I could write a million words to describe our lives growing up together over the last 17 years, but there isn’t any words to describe how proud I am to have been your friend.
“@lukeleadbellymy heart is truly broken and its hurting to imagine a world without you in it. thank you for being a brother, a best friend and for the most incredibly ridiculous memories anyone could ask for. I love you so so so much, forever and eve”
And fellow DJ and sound engineer Jonny Opo wrote: “This one hurts bad. Gonna miss you our Luke. You were there through all the early rave days, your energy and mischievous grin were infectious. I’ll never forget the b2bs in dirty warehouses and fields – you lived for it with me and the rest of the crew.
“I’ll never forget the outfits – there were always belters. You pioneered some crazy pants and animal prints!

“Until we meet again at the big rave in the sky love you always and rest easy”
