Oasis issue statement over Glastonbury 2025 hopes as reunion tour confirmed | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV




Oasis has officially ruled out a monumental return to Glastonbury Festival by confirming they won’t be headlining the Pyramid Stage in 2025.

The testimony comes after heightened media speculation following their reformation announcement earlier this week.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday (August 28), the band stated: “Despite media speculation, Oasis will not be playing Glastonbury 2025 or any other festivals next year.

"The only way to see the band perform will be on their Oasis Live '25 World Tour."

On Tuesday (August 27), Noel Gallagher, 57, and his younger brother Liam Gallagher, 51, officially buried the hatchet after their infamous backstage bust-up at a festival just outside of Paris in 2009.

The pair revealed they were reforming their seminal Manchester band—whose original line-up included Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, Paul ‘Guigsy’ McGuigan and Tony McCarroll—and were embarking on a plethora of tour dates.

The 2025 tour will kick off with a two-night residency at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on July 4 and 5 before the band take over Heaton Park in Manchester on July 11, 12, 19 and 20.

The month’s run of gigs will be brought to a close at London’s Wembley Stadium (July 25 and 26) before the Gallagher brothers return to the capital for a second run on August 2 and 3.

The ‘Hello’ hitmakers will then head to the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on August 8 and 9 before closing the tour at Dublin’s Croke Park (August 16 and 17).

Oasis has since confirmed that this exclusive string of dates will be the only European performances to take place in 2025, thus ruling them out of headlining any other festival next summer.

Tickets for the highly anticipated reunion tour—which comes more than a decade after Oasis initially split—will go on sale on Saturday, August 31 2024.

A special ticket pre-sale is also taking place on Friday, August 30 for those who have registered.

As it stands, the headliners for Glastonbury Festival 2025 have yet to be announced but bookmakers are already making bets on who will top the bill.

Moreover, festival co-organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed she’s “already in talks with some acts” to take on the Pyramid.

“The festival before a fallow year is always a fun one to plan, because you almost have to fit two years into one,” Eavis, 45, told The Sun.

The daughter of Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis, 88, also confirmed that the prestigious event will not go ahead in the summer of 2026.

She claims a fallow year is being taken to “give the land a rest”, with Glasto returning in 2027 after next year’s edition.
