The statement read: ‘Despite media speculation, Oasis will not be playing Glastonbury 2025 or any other festivals next year.
‘The only way to see the band perform will be on their Oasis Live ’25 world tour.’
The 14-show tour will run from July 4 to August 17, kicking off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium before the brothers fill Heaton Park in Manchester, Wembley in London, Murrayfield in Edinburgh and Croke Park in Dublin.
Noel left the Manchester rock group on 28 August 2009, saying he “simply couldn’t continue working with Liam for another day”.
Fans have been calling for the brothers to reunite since they split, prompted by a backstage fight at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Confirming the Oasis Live 25 tour, they said: ‘The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The long wait is over. Come and see it. It won’t be televised.’
