Oasis Reunites for Five Sold-Out Manchester Gigs

Oasis has reunited for their first Manchester gig in nearly 16 years, kicking off a five-night sold-out stint at Heaton Park, their only UK shows outside stadiums during the Oasis Live '25 world tour. The band, led by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, had a famously bitter fallout in 2009, but reunited on stage hand-in-hand at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff before returning to their hometown for this highly anticipated homecoming. Despite the public display of unity, reports reveal a frosty atmosphere behind the scenes, with the brothers staying at different hotels and barely speaking during the show, raising concerns about the tour's longevity. The city of Manchester has embraced the reunion, with local nods such as Liam's voice on tram announcements and playful store sign changes reflecting local culture. Oasis' homecoming concerts feature support from acts like Cast and Richard Ashcroft, adding to the celebratory vibe, though fans have expressed frustration over high ticket prices prompting government scrutiny. The reunion tour is also accompanied by a movie produced by Steven Knight, highlighting the band's enduring cultural impact since their formation in 1991.
