Oasis Announces Reunion Tour for 2024

Oasis has announced a major reunion tour across the UK and Ireland next summer, marking their first live performances since 2009. Original drummer Tony McCarroll expressed happiness for the Gallagher brothers and fans but does not foresee returning to the band, acknowledging the long-standing feud with them. Industry experts estimate that the band could earn up to £400 million from the tour, which is being hailed as one of the biggest rock reunions. The excitement is tempered by nostalgia for the 34 grassroots venues that once hosted Oasis, many of which have closed due to gentrification, reflecting a loss of cultural spaces. Fans share mixed emotions, recalling the band's tumultuous history and the significance of their music in shaping a generation. The reunion is seen as both a celebration and a reminder of the challenges facing live music today.
