Oasis has revealed whether there will be any further dates released ahead of their 2025 UK and Ireland tour.
Noel and Liam Gallagher announced last month they had put their acrimonious split behind them, confirming Oasis' long-awaited reunion after 15 years.
Making the announcement, the brothers said: “The great wait is over" before revealing a 2025 UK and Ireland tour which will include dates in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
Extra dates have already been added since tickets sold out within a day of going on sale earlier this month.
Oasis rules out further UK dates
Oasis, this afternoon (September 11), took to social media to rule out any further UK dates while also confirming they would not be returning to Knebworth Park.
The band performed two concerts in the grounds of the stately home in Hertfordshire in 1996 in what were among their best and biggest gigs, and they later released a live album from the shows and the 2021 documentary Oasis Knebworth 1996.
There had been reports in The Sun that Oasis were open to the idea of adding to the 19-date run at the venue, situated near Stevenage.
But Oasis in a statement on X (formerly Twitter) said: “Contrary to reports in some UK tabloid media today, Oasis will not be playing Knebworth Park in the future.
“There are no plans for any further UK dates beyond the currently announced UK stadium tour.”

There are no plans for any further UK dates beyond the currently announced UK stadium tour.
The group has already finalised dates for the Live 25 tour to include two more London shows at Wembley Stadium on September 27 and 28 following the furore over fans unable to get tickets due to technical issues.
Those who are successful in the private invite-only ballot are set to be told by this Friday (September 13) at 9pm.
Investigation underway following initial release of Oasis tickets
The original release of tickets has led to an investigation by the UK’s competition watchdog after surging demand led to the price of standard tickets for the reunion tour more than doubling from £148 to £355 on Ticketmaster.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said its probe will include how so-called “dynamic pricing” may have been used and it will scrutinise whether the sale of Oasis tickets by Ticketmaster may have breached consumer protection law.
Ticketmaster has said it does not set concert prices and its website states this is down to the “event organiser” who “has priced these tickets according to their market value”.

Oasis has also distanced themselves from the pricing changes, saying the band was not involved with the decision.
Promoters are believed to have been responsible for the dynamic pricing decision, but they have not responded to the PA news agency’s multiple attempts for a comment.
A Ticketmaster spokeswoman previously said: “Fans can resell their Oasis tickets at the full price they paid through Ticketmaster or Twickets.”
