Legendary Britpop band Oasis is set for a reunion tour in 2025, brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher announced this morning.
The band will play gigs in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin with tickets going on sale Saturday.
“This is it, this is happening,” the Manchester group wrote on X.
"The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised," the band added.

Tickets will go on sale this Saturday at 8am in Ireland and 9am in the UK.
Exact prices are yet to be announced but they are sure to be in demand so it's safe to expect they will cost around £100.
Noel and Liam Gallagher teased today's announcement in a series of cryptic social media posts last week.
The band's official social media account, as well as Liam and Noel's own accounts, posted a message on social media with the date 27.8.24 in the Britpop outfit's iconic font - with the time of 8am.
The same message was shown on big screens at a Blossoms gig in Manchester.
Oasis split up in 2009, after a backstage fight in Paris between Liam and brother Noel, 57, led to the elder Gallagher leaving the band.
"It is with some sadness and great relief... I quit Oasis tonight," Noel said in a statement at the time.
"People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."
But after Noel's bitter £20m divorce from ex-wife Sara MacDonald last year, he became more amenable to a reunion which industry insiders say could net them £50m.
Industry sources also said that the pair are being lined up to headline Glastonbury Festival next summer as part of a mega-return for the once-warring brothers.
In the frosty exchanges over the year, Liam has called Noel a “sad little dwarf."Noel quipped back: “I liked my Mum until she gave birth to Liam”.
Their relationship seemed to have thawed when each complimented the other during the recent release of the anniversary version of their hit debut album Definitely, Maybe.
“When I would sing a song, it would sound good. When he sung it, it sounded great,” said Noel of Liam.
