Oasis has shared a new statement today updating fans on the pre-sale ballot that was announced last night, as thousands are still waiting for confirmation emails.
The group have said that they have been hit with ‘an unprecedented volume of entries’ for their hotly-anticipated reunion shows.
Fans have waited 15 long years for Liam and Noel Gallagher (as well as the rest of the band) to get back together.
And they’re finally doing it, in spectacular fashion, with 14 shows across the UK and Ireland that are bound to sell out at light speed.
The Oasis reunion shows will include four nights at Heaton Park in July 2025, as well as gigs at Wembley Stadium, Croke Park in Dublin, and Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.

While the general sale on tickets doesn’t go live until 9am on Saturday 31 August, the band have announced a pre-sale that will take place on Friday.
Fans will have to pre-register for the pre-sale by supplying some personal information as well as answering a general knowledge question about Oasis.

People will then be chosen through a ballot to have a chance to buy pre-sale tickets on Friday.
Pre-sale registrations for the Oasis gigs went live at 7pm on Tuesday 27 August and will close at 7pm on Wednesday 28 August.
So many fans flocked to register last night that the website did briefly go down.

And many people today have been panicking that they still haven’t received a confirmation email, leading Oasis to issue the following statement:
“We are aware that many of you are still waiting on a confirmation email.
“Rest assured they are on their way, as we process an unprecedented volume of entries.
“Everyone who has filled out the ballot form by 7pm BST today, Wednesday 28th August, will receive an email where they can confirm their entry in the ballot.”
Those who are successful will then receive an email containing a code from oasismynet on Friday 30 August 2024 by 12pm BST. If you do not receive an email, your application has not been successful.

The codes are non-transferrable and ticket sales are limited to four per person.
Oasis 2027 tour announcement is imminent, as drone show lights up Manchester
Daisy Jackson
An Oasis tour announcement appears to be officially on the way, with a huge drone display lighting up the skies above Manchester.
The Manchester band sent up drones above their beloved Manchester City’s home ground, the Etihad Stadium, which just so happens to be the venue that rumours are tipping for their 2027 tour dates.
And after weeks of teasing and cryptic videos, hints on X, and leaked dates, we finally know when Oasis will be announcing their 2027 tour for real.
The drones above Manchester late last night spelled out ‘Oasis. 4pm BST. 14.09.26’.
The display took place around 11pm, just as thousands of music fans were leaving an Evanescence gig as the nearby Co-op Live.
Liam and Noel Gallagher finally put aside their differences back in 2024, announcing an Oasis reunion tour for the summer of 2025.
Oasis Live ’25 set the world alight, and included five massive nights at Heaton Park in their native Manchester.
And it’s looking like their 2027 tour will be even bigger, with rumours suggesting a whopping 12 night residency at the Etihad Stadium next summer.
Appeal launched to find the owner of live chickens found at Creamfields festival

The hunt is on to find the owner of a pair of chickens who were discovered at Creamfields festival.
The two birds were spotted on the grounds of the huge electronic music festival by bewildered festival-goers.
The cockerel and hen were trapped in a hedge, after it appears they wandered onto the festival campsite before the security barriers were installed.
The birds then found themselves trapped inside as around 70,000 music fans poured into Cheshire for a line-up that included Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Disclosure, and Tiësto.
The chickens have been safely rescued from the Creamfields festival site and are recovering at a wildlife centre, and now the RSPCA is on a mission to find their owner.
Festival-goers first called the RSPCA on Saturday 29 August to alert them to the cockerel and hen trapped inside the festival, one of whom assisted in the rescue mission.
RSPCA Inspector Leanne Cooper: “I was surprised that they were inside the festival site and I needed to get through the road blocks and security before reaching them on foot through muddy fields. I met the caller who helped me as they were just running up and down the hedge line where there was a wire fence blocking access.

“We managed to guide them out and I caught both of them with my rescue net which was a bit of a sight for the festival campers.
“I don’t think they were abandoned and they’re more likely to be stray because it’s farmland all around the festival site. They don’t have any health issues, apart from being quite underweight.
“With the fences going up a week before the festival starts they’d probably been unable to get out for some time and had been left foraging in the hedge. Someone mentioned that a third bird was also trapped, although we couldn’t find any others.
“I am really grateful to the festival-goer who found them and alerted us to their plight.”
