Congratulations U.K. people, Oasis are giving you a second chance to win the Ticketmaster war after losing the chaotic battle for tickets when the band’s U.K. reunion shows went on sale last week. Liam and Noel Gallagher have extended the Live ’25 tour to include two additional dates at London’s Wembley Stadium in September 2025. Tickets for the concerts will be sold in batches to selected applicants.
“Two extra Wembley Stadium shows have been added due to phenomenal demand,” Oasis shared in a statement. “Tickets will be sold by a staggered, invitation-only ballot process. Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many UK fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on sale with Ticketmaster. More details to follow.”
The two shows are scheduled for Sept. 27 and 28, bringing the band’s total Wembley Stadium concert count for the tour to seven. The tour will begin on July 4 in Cardiff and will make stops in Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin.
Oasis have been hoping to learn from the errors of other artists’ recent concert sales for major tours as Ticketmaster has tried, and usually completely failed, to handle the accompanying demand. The Gallagher brothers attempted to block scalpers from gouging fans in the secondary market, but were blocked by official ticketing and fan-to-fan exchange services.
Fans also criticized both Oasis and Ticketmaster for opting into dynamic platinum pricing, which increases ticket prices during on-sale based on demand. These complaints arrived on top of criticisms of the ticket giant’s generally poor user interface. A number of fans reported that after they finally made it through the tedious queue to buy tickets online, the site accused them of being bots and kicked them out of the line.
According to a press release, these are the only shows Oasis will perform in Europe in 2025. The band reportedly has plans to perform outside of the continent later that year, though no international dates have been announced as of yet.
