Oasis has just announced details of pre-sale tickets for their extremely anticipated reunion shows next summer.
The rock legends, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, today shocked the world with news of a run of comeback gigs in 2025.
The group split way back in 2009 and the feuding Gallagher brothers haven’t appeared together ever since.
So after 15 years of longing, fans will be scrambling over one another to bag tickets for this one.
Their 14 gigs include four massive nights at Heaton Park in Manchester, as well as shows in Cardiff, London, Edinburgh and Dublin.

The general sale for Oasis tickets will go live at 9am on Saturday 31 August, but they’ve now announced there will be a pre-sale before then.
The pre-sale on Oasis tickets will be held on Friday 30 August, and fans will be selected via a ballot to make sure as many people as possible have ‘a fair opportunity’.

To register for the pre-sale, fans have to answer a series of questions, including age, location, and how many times you’ve seen Oasis, as well as a general knowledge question about the band’s history.
Oasis wrote: “A ticket pre-sale will be held on Friday 30th August, ahead of Saturday’s general sale. To ensure the maximum number of fans have a fair opportunity to access tickets, applicants will be selected for the pre-sale via a ballot.
“Ballot registration is open now and will close at 7pm BST, this Wednesday 28th August.

“Successful applicants will receive an email with full access information the morning of Friday 30th August.
“Success in the ballot will not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis.”
Many people have panicked that they haven’t received their registration confirmation yet, so Oasis has now issued a further statement reassuring fans.
They wrote: “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.”

Oasis will be hitting the road (and hopefully not each other) from 4 July, arriving in Manchester on 11, 12, 19, 20 July.
General sale tickets will be available through See Tickets here.

‘A new kind of night out’ – new competitive social games venue opens in Manchester city centre
Emily Sergeant
A brand-new competitive social games venue is opening in Manchester city centre this week, bringing a completely original format to the city’s nightlife scene.
Gameface has made itself at home inside Manchester‘s Printworks complex.
Built around 10 games designed and developed from scratch, Gameface turns a standard night out into a fast-paced, shared experience.
The 5,400 sq ft venue has capacity for 120 players and has been created by CONDUCTR, the creative innovation studio powered by technology, meaning every game has been built in-house – with bespoke mechanics and technology developed specifically for the experience.
Having been in development for over a year now, and becoming the first venue for the brand – with further expansion planned in the future – Gameface joins an already-competitive socialising scene at Printworks, alongside venues like Boom Battle Bar, Tenpin, and Treetop Golf.
However, unlike existing concepts, all games at Gameface are completely original and do not exist anywhere else.
So, how does it work then? Well, groups move between games in a 60-minute session, competing for points across physical, reactive, and problem-solving challenges, before heading straight to the bar.
Rather than putting technology front and centre, Gameface uses it to ‘quietly power’ the experience.
Score tracking, reactive gameplay, and dynamic challenges all sit behind the scenes, designed to make each game feel intuitive, fast and competitive from the first round.

There are no long instructions or complicated rules. Players arrive, tap in, and start competing within seconds, so the result is apparently something ‘closer to a house party than a traditional activity venue’.
“It’s a night out where you’re actually doing something,” explained Leanne Casey, who is the General Manager at Gameface. “You’re moving, competing, laughing, and it gets competitive almost instantly. People care about the score quicker than they expect.”
Alongside gameplay, Gameface also features a fully stocked bar and is designed for group occasions including birthdays, team socials, and nights out.
Bookings are now open at gamefacebar.com, so what are you waiting for? Get playing.

AO Arena are hosting an ‘Evening 4’ Ricky Hatton in memory of the legendary Manchester boxer
Danny Jones
Manchester is set to host a night of remembrance and celebration in honour of the late, great, local boxer, Ricky Hatton.
Coming this summer, the AO Arena – where Hatton enjoyed so many of his iconic moments – will be holding the first-ever ‘Evening4Ricky’ later this year.
Held at the legendary sports and live entertainment venue just in time for summer, we still know very little about what the actual event will entail.
Sharing the news on social media, AO Arena said: “Join us for an unforgettable night of entertainment as Manchester comes together for Evening4Ricky.
“This will be a spectacular, unique celebration of the life, spirit and legacy of one of the city’s most beloved icons – Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton.”
With seats priced at £25, fans are being encouraged to join the early bird sign-up to secure access to discounted tickets.
They go on to add: “Hosted at the legendary AO Arena, home to so many of Ricky’s big fights, featuring a superstar cast of legends from the worlds of boxing, music, comedy and entertainment.”
So, we do at least know there’ll be some famous faces coming along to help make it a memorable Manc moment, just a few months on from the city and beyond uniting for his public funeral procession.
Ricky was beloved not only by the Greater Manchester community but was a popular figure and friend to many in the sporting and showbiz industries.
The homegrown ‘Pride of Hyde‘ tragically left us on 14 September 2025 at the age of just 46, but his passing has once again helped reassert the importance of having more conversations around wellbeing, suicide prevention, and most specifically, men’s mental health.
You can find more information and see how to grab tickets right HERE.
This isn’t the only charitable in memoriam event happening across the region in the coming weeks, either, as Mancs will be gathering to pay tribute to another fellow inspiring sportsman.
