After dropping several hints about a potential Oasis reunion, Liam and Noel Gallagher finally made things official. They’re coming back together for the first time in 15 years, and they’ve already announced a series of tour dates across the UK and Ireland next year.

The rivalry between the Gallaghers has been making headlines for years, but they revealed they’re finally ready to bury the hatchet by releasing a cryptic statement, “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”

Shortly after this post went viral on social media, Oasis officially confirmed their reunion, explaining it wasn’t caused by a great revelatory moment, but the gradual realization that the time is right. This announcement comes shortly before the 30th anniversary of the band’s debut album Definitely Maybe, which went down in history as one of the defining Britpop records.

Oasis will celebrate their reunion with a tour across the UK and Ireland next summer, which will feature 14 dates, including four at London’s Wembley Stadium and four at Manchester’s Heaton Park. The tickets will go on sale on August 31, and plans are underway for the band to also announce tour dates outside of Europe.
