Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher sent their fans completely wild this week by announcing their long-awaited reunion tour.
The Manchester siblings have finally put their world-famous 15-year feud on ice to announce they will be performing together once again, 34 years after their first gig.
The rock band infamously disbanded in 2009 after a backstage brawl, but will be back on stage next year at a string of venues around the UK and Ireland.
In their statement, Oasis also teased that plans are ‘underway’ for a world tour, but have remained tight-lipped on the countries they plan to visit, leaving Aussie fans in suspense.
However, one showbiz expert has revealed why he has no doubt that Oasis will be paying a visit to Australia on their hotly-anticipated comeback tour.
Speaking on 3AW Melbourne, radio star Peter Ford insisted the rock stars will ‘absolutely’ be heading Down Under at the end of 2025.
‘[Their statement] to me is as good as confirmation that they will be touring Australia and I do think that they will probably do America as well, maybe some dates in Asia,’ he theorised.
‘But certainly I reckon you’ll see them here at the end of next year. It is amazing that it’s happening, the rift between the two of them seemed so deep.’

‘You can look at the dates they’ve set, they’ve clearly got room to add a lot of extra dates in the UK before they announce anything else,’ he added.
His comments come after Aussie fans have sent social media into overdrive in recent days, calling on Oasis to add a string of tour dates Down Under.
‘Your biggest fans are in Australia, we are waiting for Oasis in Sydney in Melbourne,’ one excited fan wrote on X – formerly known as Twitter.
‘You gonna come to Australia the big fellas?’ another keen Oasis admirer asked while a third said: ‘I really hope you guys record a new album and come to Australia for a tour.’
A fourth gushed: ‘Australia!!!! Please, please come to Australia!!!’ and another begged: ‘Please come back to Australia.’
During their 90s heyday, Oasis were no stranger to performing in Oceania as they visited in 1998 for the Be Here Now Tour after their chart-topping global success.
They delighted fans by returning Down Under for the 2001 Heathen Chemistry Tour and again came back in late 2005 for the Don’t Believe the Truth Tour.

On their 2025 tour, the Oasis brothers and their original guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs will perform at 14 shows around the UK and Ireland, with demand for tickets expected to be sky-high in a ‘blood-bath’.
They will kick things off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium before packing out Heaton Park in Manchester, Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh’s Murrayfield and Croke Park in Dublin.
Despite speculation that Oasis will be on the bill at Glastonbury 2025, the band later shut down the rumours and confirmed they will not be performing at Worthy Farm.
Announcing the Oasis Live 25 tour on Tuesday, the legendary band said: ‘The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.’
The Oasis website crashed immediately after the announcement as fans were sent into a frenzy, with music insiders predicting the tour will ‘sell out in less than three minutes’.
Select fans who have signed up for the pre-sale ballot are in with a chance of nabbing early access before tickets go on general sale on Saturday at 9am BST.
More than four million fans are expected to be vying for the 1,066,888 tickets available across the 14 gigs, with sources telling The Sun that once they sell out ‘extra dates will be added for sure’.
Noel and Liam poignantly announced the reunion just one day before the 15th anniversary of their highly-publicised split on August 28, 2009.
Their last concert together was at V Festival in Staffordshire, and days later, they cancelled their headlining gig at the Rock en Seine festival following a backstage brawl.

Noel said at the time: ‘It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.’
In recent years, Liam, 51, has been keen to make amends with his brother and reform the iconic Britpop band, but his older brother Noel, 57, poured cold water on the idea.
But after Noel’s £20m divorce from his ex-wife Sara MacDonald last year, he is said to have finally been persuaded of the financial merits of getting the band back together.
According to The Sun, the pair reunited for a ‘top secret’ photoshoot to promote the comeback shows.
