Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher announced last week that they would join one another onstage for the first time in 16 years, for a string of stadium shows taking place in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Dublin in 2025.
The tour will coincide with the 30th anniversary of the band’s record-breaking second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, and was announced shortly before the band marked three decades since their seminal debut, Definitely Maybe.
It was a morning of mixed emotions yesterday as tickets were released first for Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, at 8am, then in the UK for London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Cardiff at 9am.
Fans who set their alarms found themselves waiting in lengthy queues, as they shared screenshots informing them they were 352,856th or 430,720th in line. Some complained they were being forced to wait in a queue simply to get on the websites for Ticketmaster, SeeTickets and Gigs and Tours.
“Ticketmaster just put me in a queue TO VIEW ITS WEBSITE, and at that point, I'm just like, I actually don't want to see Oasis enough to withstand this abuse,” one disgruntled fan wrote on X/Twitter.
As tickets went on sale, fans reported the websites crashing altogether as demand surged and the band issued a further warning that any being resold at inflated prices could be “cancelled”.
