Liam and Noel Gallagher confirmed today (Tuesday, August 27) that Oasis is back together.

The band split up back in 2009 and saw the brothers speak openly about the breakup and their dislikes of each other, but now Oasis is back and is going on tour next summer.

Oasis's reunion will see the band perform in Cardiff, London, Manchester, Edinburgh and in Dublin.

There is also speculation that a Glastonbury headline slot could be in the works.

Rumours of the band's reunion began to escalate on the evening of Sunday, August 25, after the pair shared the same video on social media, written in the Oasis style, teasing an announcement on Tuesday at 8am.

The same date and time appeared on big screens as Liam finished his headline slot at the Reading Festival on Sunday.

Oasis are back together and confirm UK shows

Oasis's announcement comes before tracks from the first recording session for Oasis’s debut album Definitely Maybe are released on Friday, August 30 marking its 30th anniversary.

Unheard versions of songs including Live Forever, Cigarettes & Alcohol and Rock ‘N’ Roll Star were taken from their first recording session as a signed band, at Monnow Valley Studio in Rockfield, Monmouthshire.

The recordings were scrapped before the band re-recorded the album at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall.

Fans of the Manchester rock band have pleaded with the brothers to regroup since they disbanded in 2009, prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Liam fueled rumours of Oasis's return after he took to X, formerly Twitter, to tell fans he "never like that word FORMER".

The 51-year-old has been touring the UK this summer on his Definitely Maybe tour to celebrate the 30 years since its release in 1994.

Noel has been absent from the concerts but during a show in Cardiff, Liam made a point of dedicating Half The World Away to his “little brother”, saying he is “still playing hard to get”.

Liam also played Oasis hits during his headline performance at Leeds Festival on Friday night.

Fans were also surprised to hear Noel pay Liam a string of compliments in an interview released last week with music journalist John Robb at Manchester’s Sifters Records in honour of the album’s 30th anniversary.
