Oasis fans eagerly anticipate tour announcement

Oasis fans are eagerly anticipating a tour announcement later, following their drone light show in Manchester on Thursday.

The display over the Joie Stadium, home to Manchester City Women, at the Etihad Campus saw the band’s logo illuminate before being replaced with the date 14/09/26, and the time 4pm BST.

The announcement sparked excitement on social media from fans, all hoping they would be able to get tickets.

The band also shared a video on their Instagram account on Sunday, further teasing the announcement on Monday.

Oasis have been dropping hints about tour venues on social media recently, including the Etihad Stadium, Celtic Park and Knebworth – where they played to 250,000 people in 1996 during their Britpop heyday.

The band reunited for the first time since splitting in 2009 for their successful Live ’25 tour last year.

The tour sold out within minutes of going on sale and was estimated by Forbes to have generated more than £293m in revenue.

Brothers Liam and Noe Gallagher both appeared on The Sunday Times Rich List this year, with a combined net worth of £375m.

The reunion came following a long-standing feud between Liam and Noel after the band split in 2009, prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France.

The band have had eight UK number one singles and eight UK number one albums, with Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Roll With It among their best-known hits.
