Oasis have announced a major reunion tour 15 years after the Gallagher brothers split.

Oasis were one of the most successful bands of the 1990s, selling an estimated 75 million records and playing to stadiums around the world.

Both Gallagher brothers The ad caused a stir. On Monday, he posted a short video on X showing the date “27.08. 24” glowing in the band’s famous logo. On Sunday morning, Liam Gallagher posted: “I never liked the word FORMER.”

And at 8am UK time (3am ET) on Tuesday, the news came that legions of fans had been waiting for: a major tour that would finally bring the warring brothers together.

The brothers were responsible for a string of hit albums and songs but were arguably also known for their off-stage pranks, celebrity marriages and violent feuds.

The band formed in Manchester, North West England, in 1991 and I got a recording contract. Thanks to a single concert in Glasgow, Scotland two years later, they reached number three on the charts.

The band's 1994 debut album, Definitely Maybe, is still considered one of the greatest British guitar records, propelling them to stardom and making them icons of the guitar music renaissance dubbed “Britpop” by the British press.

The subsequent album, “(What's the Story) Morning Glory?”, cemented their status as stars with songs such as “Wonderwall” and “Don't Look Back in Anger”, leading to success and extensive touring throughout Europe and North America.

The Gallagher duo have built successful solo careers since the Oasis album. Liam recently performed a series of concerts to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of “Definitely Maybe,” while Noel has been performing with his band High Flying Birds since 2010 and has released four albums.

But while the Gallaghers routinely play old Oasis songs at shows, many fans don't realize the magic of the brothers appearing together.

The Gallagher duo have not performed together since a backstage brawl at a Paris music festival in 2009.

Their closeness often seemed unlikely, with the two men trading insults and mockery on social media and in interviews.

But the past few weeks have seen a clear improvement in relations. Noel praised his younger brother in an interview last week, praising his raspy voice. “It’s the way he delivers or the tone of his voice and his attitude,” he said. He likened Liam’s voice to “ten shots of tequila on a Friday night,” while his was like “half a bottle of Guinness on a Tuesday.”

Perhaps the reason for the band's reunion was another successful reunion in the 1990s. Blur, Oasis' rivals in a battle for the UK charts in 1995, regrouped for two concerts last year at Wembley Stadium. Blur's first 90,000 tickets sold out in minutes.

The Stone Roses, another Manchester band and long-time inspiration for the Gallaghers, resurfaced with a series of concerts in 2012 after a 16-year hiatus.

Revenue from recorded music has declined since the advent of streaming services, but live music by celebrity acts is booming. According to One industrial estimate The Oasis reunion could generate £400m ($528m).
