Oasis heard performing soundcheck in Cardiff ahead of tour
Making the announcement, the brothers said: 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."
The band will be bringing its Live '25 tour to venues across the UK during July, August and September, including in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Manchester and London.
The Oasis tour will begin in Cardiff, at Principality Stadium, on Friday (July 4).
However, fans got a sneak peek of the band in action on Monday (June 30), with Oasis performing a soundcheck at Principality Stadium.
Videos of the soundcheck have flooded social media, much to the delight of fans.
Most videos, recorded by people passing by Principality Stadium, show the band performing their hit song Cigarettes and Alcohol.

Oasis fans have commented on the videos, excited to be hearing the band live for the first time in more than 15 years.
One person, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said: "Epic! Cannot wait for Friday!!"
Another added: "I know this is just a sound check, but the bumps are goosing."
A third fan commented: "I've been chilled about not getting tickets but that is cool as f**k. Shivers."

But some fans are convinced the soundcheck was merely a recording of the band, not Liam and Noel performing in person.
One person, commenting on a video of the soundcheck on X, said: "It's strange you don't hear Noel's voice.
"I believe this audio is from the definitely maybe tour rehearsals from last year."
Another posted: "This is a pre recording to test sound levels i would assume. Not sure the band are actually there."
I've been in my pool 🏊 all day doing under water 💦 farts 💨 so it's defo a recording from rehearsals unless there's 2 of me which I'm absolutely 1 million per cent here for well there for as well
While a third person added: "Noel was on talk sport in the last couple of days saying all their work was done and it was a few days off before getting going on Friday.
"They aren't there. It's a recording."

Noel Gallagher give candid verdict on Oasis massive success ahead of reunion
Oasis star Noel Gallagher has opened up about the iconic band's secret to their massive success just days before they're finally set to reunite after 16 years apart Noel Gallagher has spoken in the Oasis tour programme - explaining why they are loved by music fans young and old. The first fans have been queuing up at the Principality stadium and Cardiff pop up shop to get their hands on the tour programme. In it Noel Gallagher spoke at younger fans and why so many people tried to get tickets for the Oasis Live 25 tour. Noel said: 'A new generation recognises how Oasis wasn't manufactured. It was chaotic, and flawed, and not technically brilliant. We were rough and ready guys from a rehearsal room, and people recognised it.' Noel's comments come just a couple of days after brother Liam gave an interview to Burberry, in what could be his final on screen chat before he takes to the stage in Cardiff. Asked what makes a great frontman, Liam said: 'I mean being able to sing is good. Just getting on with your job and doing it, and trying to get a vibe going and looking cool.' He has previously credited Ian Brown as an influence on him as a youngster and asked for the music money that changed his life as he explained: 'When I went to see the Stone Roses in 1989 in Manchester, and that was it, I thought 'I'm helping a bit of that'.' Liam was also asked about the things he couldn't live without, and some of these things he will undoubtedly miss whilst on tour, especially his pet. He said: ' Football, my family, my missus, my kids, my dog. In no particular order by the way. My dog's called Buttons.' Oasis have arrived in Cardiff ahead of the the start of their sensational reunion tour - which will finally see Noel and Liam Gallagher on stage together for the first time in 16 years. The countdown is now on for the first show of the world tour on Friday, with the band having got back together several months ago to begin jamming. The first photos of the band leaving rehearsals in London were published in May. They showed Noel Gallagher, Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Gem Archer and Andy Bell who will play guitars in the massive sold out gigs, with Andy on bass. Liam, who was initially on vocal rest, then joined on June 3. The band also has new members in keyboard player Christian Madden and drummer Joey Waronker on drums. He has played with Liam before on a tour but never in Oasis. Noel and Liam will walk on stage for the first time together in public, since the band split nearly two decades ago, on July 4 as their first tour date will take place in Cardiff. There will also be dates in Manchester, London and Dublin as part of the tour. Noel, 57, quit the Manchester rock group on August 28 2009, saying he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer", and the brothers had made negative comments about each other for more than a decade. That all changed with the announcement of the tour in August last year. The pair posed for several photos together confirming the band's long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying: "The great wait is over."

Ticketmaster threatened with legal action over Oasis gig ticket sales by UK watchdog
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TICKETMASTER is being threatened with legal action over Oasis gig ticket sales by the UK watchdog. More than 900,000 tickets went on sale in August last year via Ticketmaster for the tour, which reunites Noel and Liam Gallagher, and is set to kick off on Friday in Cardiff.

It said it was concerned that it had broken consumer protection law by labelling seats at Platinum despite being in the same area of the stadium and selling them for £350 instead of £150 face value. The CMA also said that Oasis fans were not told about two categories of standing tickets, with cheaper ones sold first before more expensive standing tickets were sold. It means Oasis fans waited in a queue, some for more than 12 hours, for tickets without knowing the price, then having to decide whether to pay a higher amount than expected. It did not find evidence of a 'dynamic pricing' model being used during the sale. Ticketmaster made some changes to its ticket sale process but the CMA said it'does not currently consider these changes are sufficient'. It had been trying to work with them to change their pricing and ticket information - but today in a letter to the business and trade select committee published today, the CMA it wasn't happy and it is seeking legal action. It said: 'Having carefully considered Ticketmaster's response, the CMA's view is that there is a fundamental disagreement between the CMA and Ticketmaster about whether Ticketmaster's practices infringed consumer law.' The CMA will continue to try and resolve the issue with Ticketmaster while it starts legal action. Hayley Fletcher, interim senior director of consumer protection at the CMA, said: 'All ticketing websites should check they are complying with the law and treating their customers fairly. 'When businesses get it right, consumers benefit – and that's the best outcome for everyone.' Last week, Oasis announced that they were releasing more tickets for the summer tour. Fans have been scammed out of more than £2million by fraudsters, according to Lloyds bank.
