Oasis fans are begging for extra dates to be added to their Live 2025 tour after tickets for all 17 UK and Ireland dates sold out amid chaos on Saturday.
Liam and Noel Gallagher are yet to confirm exactly who will join them on their victory lap - which will come 16 years after their split following a fight at Rock en Seine in 2009.
Demand for tickets has been almost Swift-esque, with millions bidding to get their hands on a pair for the dates.
And with the hype leading to Oasis’s mid-90s Britpop anthems climbing back into the British charts, there is even talk of hope for new music from the brothers (plus three / four?).
As loose-lipped as the Gallaghers are known to be, there are some details as to what will follow that we do not yet know - but here is the best of our knowledge.

Could Oasis announce more dates?
Fans will be hoping more live dates are added after a chaotic experience on Saturday that saw many wait in a virtual queue for hours before being kicked off. Others saw prices for the tickets go up as the wait went along.
There is still a resale to come.
Oasis have once already extended their tour from 14 to 17 dates after the initial reunion announcement on August 27 was met with ‘unprecedented demand’ for the presale.
Beyond those dates, no extra dates have been announced.
While the Live 2025 tour is already pretty jam-packed, there are gaps in the schedule that could be filled - five days between Manchester and London, for instance. There is also the best part of a week between London and Edinburgh gigs.
Oasis have already confirmed they will not play any festivals next year.
Fans saw hundreds of thousands of people in a queue for each date, with venue capacity being capped at around 80,000.
It means fans such as Claire might get their wish if the band feel they can manage it.
She tweeted: “For the love of god @oasis announce the extra dates! This is the most painful ticket experience ever!”
Will Oasis release a new album?
No plans have been confirmed for a follow-up to 2008’s Dig Out Your Soul, and judging by Liam Gallagher’s recent Leeds setlist, the fans are after Oasis’s earlier material.
However, both Gallaghers have been prolific since the 2009 band split, with Noel’s High Flying Birds releasing four and Liam also putting out four under his own name and another two with Oasis spin-off Beady Eye.
Liam tweeted in April that work on a new Oasis album would start in “November”, although this was taken at the time to be a joke. But the tweet is now being reevaluated, with rumours circulating that the band’s activity is hiding in plain sight.
Liam was asked by a fan on July 24 what his plan for the day was and he said “photo shoot” - which may actually have been the truth, but few suspected it would have been with Noel.
With the resulting photo, he tweeted: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
However, Liam is not known for always being dead straight on social media, even calling himself a “Godlike ratsa icon legend Biblical omnipresent prophet” in his Twitter bio.
So, to answer the question - it’s hard to say, but does it even matter?
Richard Bee tweeted: “It would be the funniest thing ever if Oasis released a brand new album and only played songs from it on their upcoming tour.”
It’s fair to say fans, including the Standard’s own Ped Millichamp, wouldn’t see the funny side.
