After 15 years, Oasis, the iconic band formed by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, has announced that they will be reuniting for a tour next year. The band will play 14 shows in the U.K. and Ireland, including dates in Manchester and London’s Wembley Stadium. Shows outside of Europe are hinted at as well. Formed in the early 90s, Oasis quickly rose to fame with hit albums like “Definitely Maybe” and “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” Their distinct sound and off-stage antics made them a figurehead of the Britpop movement. Despite their success, the brothers had a turbulent relationship which led to their split in 2009 after a backstage fight. Since then, both brothers have pursued successful solo careers, but the magic of Oasis has been missing for fans. The decision to reunite may have been prompted by the success of other 90s band reunions. Income from live shows for big-name acts is booming, leading to potential earnings of £400 million for Oasis. The announcement of the reunion tour has been met with excitement from fans who have been eagerly waiting for this moment.
