Tickets go on sale on Saturday with a presale on Friday.
According to an official statement, these will be their only shows in Europe next year. Plans are said to be underway for the reunion tour to go to other continents later, including the Americas.
This comes as Liam and Noel parted ways in the wake of a reported fight backstage before playing the Rock in Seine festival in Paris on Aug. 28, 2009, and have been estranged ever since.The Manchester rock band rose to fame with its debut, "Definitely Maybe," in 1994, beginning the Britpop era including songs such as "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger."
The longmuch-dreamed-ofanticipated Oasis reunion has finally been announced after years of a funny — and frustrating — brotherly feud that amplified their legend, as their songs stood the test of time and the Gallaghers proved to be great artists in their solo careers. And that comes just in time to mark the 30th anniversary of Oasis debut album.
Given that their Britpop rivals Blur played well-received concerts last year, it's no surprise that the Gallaghers have decided to regroup. Oasis is certainly overrated, but the tour is set to sold out as their loyal working-class fanbase will flock by the hundreds of thousands. That's if the band doesn't break up again before its reunion tour.
