I’d be absolutely amazed if they play Glastonbury tbf. All the gigs start a month after Glastonbury and someone would have paid them absolutely millions and millions to play them, why would they let them do Glastonbury for basically free?! 

 

Could also be a train wreck being their first gig too
 

Also, the fallow year has probably come at a bad time as I’m sure 2026 would have been a much easier year to get them to play 

Unless they don't televise it?

Bet you'd sneakily try and pull the plug on the mixing desk like this guy 😅 "Oh, sorry, sorry..."

 

 

Now that's an idea... 🤣

Could we even get a Britpop headline trio:

 

Fri  Blur

Say Oasis

Sun Pulp

 

A sell out festival in 1996.

If the rumour is that these Manchester and London dates are for August, I would have thought Glastonbury would be too early too.

 

Though I will consider that if they've agreed to do a raft of European dates alongside them at festivals or arenas out there in June and July, it may still bring them back into the equation.

 

I'm still not that convinced they'd do Glastonbury, both for the historic nature of bombing in 2004 when it was meant to be a big comeback show and the fact that it's a bold gambit for one of your first things back being there. But the chances aren't zero.

All their shows will have been sold out long before glastonbury. Even if they are a total sh*t show people won't care. All about the atmosphere and the sing a long and having it laaarge.

25 UK return
26 Euprope and US
27 Festivals but more likely IOW

Don't see that this will be them back together for a long stretch. More likely that they do this run of gigs and go their own ways again stat.

Recent precedent is split on that tbf. Blur played a lot of mainland Europe shows along with their main two big Wembley dates, whereas Pulp were UK only last year and are now playing everywhere but the UK this year.

I guess it depends what they announce tomorrow but yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if it's 2025 only for now.

[CaledonianGonzo]

There's close to zero chance of them boarding a tour bus and schlepping out round the US.

I didn't think Oasis every really cracked the US? Not sure they'd play warm up gigs there

Pulp never really broke America but are playing there next month.

 

In their last tour in 2008, Oasis were playing large theatres or small arenas in America, which I think was about the level they got to.

[M42]

Fred Again.. / Oasis / Olivia Rodrigo 

 

Would be a pretty solid trio. I reckon if they have got Oasis the other two headliners will be greener.

Tend to agree. Unlikely to have both Oasis and the Boss.

Would sell out any festival in 2025 as well quite easily.

No they made tits of themselves a few times and their general laddish amateur hour behaviour and performances didn't wash with the US market.

Who gives a toss about cracking the US market? 

 

When did the US become the yardstick for rock n roll bands? Most of the best ones are from England. 

 

US kids listen to RnB and hip hop mostly. They have abysmal taste in music and I know that as I used to live there.

Who gives a toss about cracking a music mad country of 300 million people where you can charge 3 or 4 times the price of a ticket in Europe? 

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

In this interview he doesn't sound like he really gives a sh*t about conquering America tbf. It's about 4:15 in when the question is asked.

 

I suppose there must be enough fans in the US to at least fill a few arenas

As someone who is due a month paid sabbatical from work from Feb '26 onwards, God I hope this is right

[CaledonianGonzo]

Will they also do the meet and greet option as part of their US tour?

You've bought your Lego people already? A Lego Fred or a Lego Oasis?

 

Lego Fred … can’t be assed with Oasis brothers tbh although I might see them if nothing else takes my fancy . Won’t bother making a hat for bottles of piss to be launched at it though . Lego Fred has been commissioned along with eavi … so can be sent together

Noone seems to be talking about the huge down-side of all this - no High Flying Birds shows next year.

Or even worse: no Liam doing another tour purely basted on nostal.. oh wait.
