The Oasis reunion tour is quickly gaining momentum, and there’s fresh excitement for fans in Asia. On November 19, the band’s official Instagram account shared images of billboards in Tokyo, Japan, and Seoul, South Korea, teasing a major announcement on Friday, November 22. The black-and-white images of brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have become iconic, resembling the campaign used for the band’s recently announced shows in other regions. The announcement could signal Oasis’ return to the stage in Asia for the first time since their 2009 concerts in Japan and South Korea.
The Oasis Live ‘25 tour, which is already set to run through 2025, has been a global affair. With 38 shows booked so far, the tour will kick off on July 4, 2024, at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. After the European leg, the band will head to North America, South America, and Australia, culminating with a grand finale in Brazil on November 22-23, 2025. Dates for the Asia shows are expected to align with the band’s Australian performances later in 2025.
Though Oasis has not released new material since 2008’s Dig Out Your Soul, the prospect of new music has been hinted at. Liam Gallagher responded to a fan’s question about a new record by claiming it was already finished, though he later retracted that statement, calling it a joke. While Oasis fans eagerly await official news of new music, the focus for now is on the upcoming reunion tour, with all the announced shows selling out quickly.
The band’s live performances are expected to be special events. The tour will feature Richard Ashcroft of The Verve as an opener for the U.K. and Ireland shows, while Cage the Elephant will join as the supporting act for North America. Special guests for other regions are still to be revealed. Given Oasis' legacy and the charged energy of the Gallagher brothers, fans across the globe are eagerly awaiting what is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated tours of the decade.
