They will get on way better this time. Nevermind the tabloid nonsense I cant decide whether im angry or happy that the tabloids are already spreading shit at breakneck speed. On one hand, it feels like the old days where you used to get it on the front page every day. But on the other, this time you get the impression theyre gonna be 100% professional with each other and dont want it ruined by those rags.

What’s The Story? A Look At Oasis’ Touring History Thursday, 08/29/2024News Home News What’s The Story? A Look At Oasis’ Touring History
It’s been 15 years since the famous backstage dust-up at Rock en Seine finally shattered the uneasy, contentious relationship between rock’s most famously belligerent brothers, Liam and Noel Gallagher. Oasis, it seemed on that hot August night outside Paris, was forever finished.
But the Gallaghers, with the passage of time, have come to some kind of understanding and made enough peace to announce what is now a 17-show stadium tour of the U.K. and Ireland for 2025 with plans allegedly in the works for a longer tour that will take them around the world.
The Oasis reunion shows will be promoted globally by Arthur Fogel and Denis Desmond for Live Nation, and UK promoter SJM Concert’s Managing Director Simon Moran. As chairman of Live Nation Global Touring, Fogel has helmed many global blockbusters, including serving as Live Nation’s worldwide promoter for U2, Madonna, Beyonce and Lady Gaga, among others. Fogel also helmed the hugely successful Police reunion tour for Live Nation in 2007—2008 that grossed $352 million from 140 shows, according to Pollstar Boxoffice reports.
In many ways, the routing parallels Oasis’ last proper tour in 2009, which squeezed in headlining shows around festival appearances. They’ll again play Heaton Park in their hometown of Manchester where, in 2009, the first night of a three-night stand at Heaton Park — the largest municipal park in Europe — was delayed multiple times due to electrical problems and eventually declared a free show. Those shows drew 70,000 each night, according to contemporaneous local news reports. Manchester’s night mayor announced the capacity for the 2025 run will be 80,000.
That capacity matches with the most recent reported total for an Oasis show in the Pollstar Boxoffice: 80,241 tickets for a gross of $8.12 million at Slane Castle in Dublin June 20, 2009. Oasis led a bill that included The Prodigy, Kasabian, Glasvegas and The Blizzards.
Shows at Murrayfield in Edinburgh, Principality Stadium in Cardiff (then known as Millennium Stadium) and a run at Wembley Stadium were not reported. All are included with Heaton Park on the latest routing, as is Croke Park in Dublin.
Those looking for hints at the potential for success outside the UK and Ireland can look to an early set of South American shows in 2009. Though largely in arenas — many of which were under 10,000-cap — the band did play a few stadiums. Oasis drew 36,216 to Estadio Monumental — better known as River Plate Stadium — in Buenos Aires, Argentina, May 3, 2009, grossing $1.4 million. That followed an April 30 show at the National Stadium in Lima, Peru, which grossed $1.6 million on 41,729 tickets, according to Pollstar Boxoffice reports.
The band toured the U.S. arenas the year before, selling out Madison Square Garden for a $777,050 gross on 15,200 tickets.
It’s most successful American tour was likely 2005’s “Don’t Believe The Truth Tour,” which included a 19,900-ticket sellout at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts — that’s the highest-reported ticket total for an American Oasis show — on June 24, grossing $502,942; that’s a now-quaint average price of $26. The band had a near sell-out of the Hollywood Bowl that year as well, grossing $846,688 on 16,574 tickets; that’s the band highest reported gross stateside.
All told, Oasis has sold 959,791 tickets on 105 headline reports submitted to the Pollstar Boxoffice (noting, of course, the stadium shows from 2009 went unreported), grossing more than $46 million.

Looking at who theyve got for Live Nation, it seems they are looking at global-scale stuff. As that Police reunion tour is, for years, exactly what Ive said an Oasis reunion would be like. I hadnt got into their stuff back then but i remember that tour was massive, especially in the States.
I see no reason why they wont be able to at least slot back into the 15k-20k venues they were doing in their later years over there.

The Oasis reunion has generated a surge in searches for flights from Italy to the cities on the tour, with Manchester at the top of the list.

The hints of social commentary in Definitely Maybe are just window dressing to an already great album, because it boils down to life affirming sentiments aligned with top class melodies that give it conviction. It's extroverted showmanship by Liam from an introverted soul in Noel. It's euphoric, it's also melancholic. The music treads a line perfectly between the two qualities, often in the same song, same melody and same lyric. No other act on earth comes close to so perfectly balancing euphoria and melancholy. It's why their optimism and happiness is not the forced theatrical fantasy of most acts (hello Queen, latter Coldplay, most popstars) because the melancholy gives it a grounding in reality. It recognises that reality but makes you believe in better things. It's not art, it's not intellectual, it's sincerely emotional. It's a primal thing, and tapping into that and bottling it up in a simple song is genius. No wonder they're still huge. That might be the most beautiful and concise summation I've seen of the dynamic at the heart of Oasis, and why it works. Someone should show that to Noel. Cheers man, I love my Oasis!

It's the same old shit with the press though isn't it, anything to generate clicks and headlines and they love to suggest that the brothers are gonna walk out in Cardiff, realise the bottled water isn't room temp and the towels are magnolia instead of cream and have a full on fist fight. I guess the brothers won't interact a great deal between shows and that there is likely break clauses alongside the penalty clauses mentioned in another thread. I hope they warm to each other as the tour goes on and that it remains respectful, be great if they actually became friends but then again that's not gonna fill column inches is it... "Nobody knows, the way it's gonna be".

If the lads aren’t mates, what’s the point? 😔 I wouldn't be so quick to believe the sun, I'm more inclined to believe the photographer who said the atmosphere was great! They were both laughing in the photoshoot outtakes so that's good enough for me going forward

But I think you can only fake it so much, and looking at those outtakes, they seem perfectly comfortable in one anothers company. At the end of the day, they shared a bedroom growing up…. Those shitrags only print what they think will sell more…

If the lads aren’t mates, what’s the point? 😔 It's The Sc*m remember. They may very well have separate travel/accommodation arrangements. But they are two massive imposing figures with their own team of people and families to deal with, more so in the 15 years since with their solo careers and the people they've worked with along the way. It's most likely a practical arrangement, and probably not without some acknowledgement of giving each other space given you're cooped up together for weeks and months. Touring tests the patience of any saint towards even their closest pal, let alone sparring brothers. That's the reality, but that news doesn't sell. Who knows what happens next week, if its rumoured both are in the south of France. Standing on the Shoulders 25th anniversary?! Or better still, going back to that recording studio to begin their eighth album!

How I'd love to have been a fly on the wall during that photoshoot, observing the dynamics and interactions between the two.

One million tickets available against a demand of around 40 million. In the best case scenario, if I did the math correctly, there is a 4% chance of success taking into account that a person could take a maximum of four coupons. Crazy Where did you get that 40 million number from ? Looking for a reliable source for the size of the demand.

1.7 million tickets available and 14 million applications. Crazy times.
2.9 million applied for Taylor Swift's UK dates (obviously there was a lot more chances to see her across more dates around the world). And 2.5 million applied for Knebworth which was only 2 nights. It's an insane amount of applications.

They were both laughing in the photoshoot outtakes so that's good enough for me going forward I think people should realise you just don't run it back after 15 years of bad (very bad) blood and pretend nothing happened Their relationship was extremely complex and volatile even when they got on I'm sure if they decided to reunite the band they're willing to be at least civil to each other, the rest is family business
