Oasis have officially announced a HUGE reunion tour, with 14 shows across the UK and Ireland.
Liam and Noel Gallagher have finally put aside their differences and will be performing back on home turf in Manchester in July 2025.
It’s the news music fans have waited 15 long years for, ever since the brothers’ feud began.
Oasis have teased the reunion for the last couple of days with hints dropped on screens at Blossoms’ show and at Reading Festival, as well as on their socials.
And now it’s official – Oasis will be heading back to the fields of Heaton Park (as well as stadiums across the UK and Ireland) in 2025.

“Come see. It will not be televised.”

The brothers have also been photographed together for the first time since the band’s split in 2009.
The black-and-white photo of them standing together has had many questioning if it’s a Photoshop job and they actually haven’t been in the same room yet.
But based on the below Tweet – this is for real.

“When we both come together, you have greatness.”
The video, filled with clips of their performances over the years, then continues: “We make people feel something that’s indefinable.

You can watch The Holiday on a big screen with a live orchestra playing the soundtrack in Manchester this Christmas.
The Holiday is one of the best-loved Christmas films of all time.
In case you haven’t got around to watching it before, the 2006 romcom directed and produced by Nancy Meyers stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black, and tells the story of how two women, who have never met and live 6,000 miles apart, find themselves in the same exact place in life.
They meet online through a home exchange website, and impulsively switch homes for the holiday.
Shortly after arriving at their destinations, both women find the last thing either wants or expects – a new romance.

New Haçienda book to be launched with event featuring all-star guest speaker lineup

A launch party is taking place for an exciting new collaborative book about an iconic Manchester nightclub venue.
New Century Hall is going to be hosting a one-of-a-kind event for a book written exclusively about Manchester’s clubbing epicentre, The Haçienda.
This new publication by Rebecca Hook will explain what the atmosphere of the famous nightclub was like from the perspective of everyone who was there at the time.
From performers and staff, to clubgoers themselves, The Haçienda: Threads features excerpts from well-known musicians like Happy Mondays’ Bez, and The Stone Roses’Mani, as well as a foreword from New Order bassist, Peter Hook.
In its heyday, the legendary nightclub – which was founded Factory Records’ Tony Wilson, music manager Rob Gretton, and new-wave band New Order – saw performances from a long list of music giants, as well as being the venue for Madonna’s first UK performance, and three-time performers, Manchester band The Smiths.

The Haçienda also became a pioneer with the growth of the ‘Madchester‘ movement, thanks to its Ibiza Nights which ran in the late 80s.
Oasis played this revolutionary venue in 1984 to celebrate the release of their debut album Definitely Maybe – with Noel Gallagher becoming a frequent visitor to the club when he wasn’t performing, hence why he’s set to be one of the guest speakers at the book launch event next month.
The launch party is taking place on Wednesday 9 October, and has an exciting timetable planned for the evening once doors open at 6pm.
Programming for the night includes welcome cocktails upon entry, an ‘In Conversation’ segment, a book signing, and then it’s all up to the DJ’s to soundtrack the rest of your night from 9pm until closing.
Throughout the night, there will be guest speakers reminiscing the legacy of The Haçienda – with the likes of Graeme Park, Peter Hook, Mani, Greg Wilson, as well as Noel.
If you want to relive the good old days of the legendary nightclub, you can get your hands on tickets to the launch event here.
