Oasis reunion tour: is London ready? - The Standard podcast

Listen here on your chosen podcast platform.

After a 15-year hiatus the Gallagher brothers are finally getting the band back together.

Social media was set alight by the news on Tuesday morning as the band released the dates for their UK and Ireland tour, with further worldwide gigs being planned as well.

Starting in July 2025, the Britpop icons return to the stage with a tour that includes four dates at London’s Wembley stadium, a venue that’s been lit up by Taylor Swift this summer.

And with a fanbase chomping at the bit for a reunion for so long, it’s set to be another huge moment for the capital, and UK music on the whole.

On social media, rumours that Oasis could headline Glastonbury 2025 are rife, as fans discovered that the tour dates don’t clash with the Somerset festival.

But why have Noel and Liam chosen now to make their Oasis comeback? And is London ready for such an epic reunion?

In this episode of The Standard podcast, our Celebrity Correspondent Lisa McLoughlin and Executive News Editor Mark Wilkinson discuss the huge announcement, what it means for London and the UK music scene, and why the pair have decided to reunite now.
