5484 days after walked unhappily offstage after a badly-received show at the V Festival in Staffordshire, England, the Gallagher brothers appear to have buried the hatchet – at least for now – and rock's most talked-about reunion is officially on. In an announcement, Oasis confirmed that they'll play 14 shows next summer, including gigs in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin. Tickets will go on sale this Saturday at 8am in Ireland and 9am in the UK.

" The news comes after a weekend in which rumours regarding a possible reunion swirled with the kind of intensity that suggested that this morning's announcement – which was prefaced by a synchronised video teaser campaign – wasn't merely going to be about yet another deluxe edition box set. The announcement brings an end to 15 years of often delightful bickering, which included Liam calling Noel a "sad little dwarf," "tofu boy", "an angry squirt", and a "horrible little man", while the elder Gallagher famously described Liam as "a man with a fork in a world of soup." Meanwhile, clearly keen to get in on the action, Noel Gallagher's second wife Sarah McDonald tweeted that Liam's headline set at Glastonbury in 2019 was akin to “a fat twat doing his tribute act, balancing a tambourine on his head.
" The couple divorced last year, and reports have put the cost of settlement at £20 million. The brothers' inability to get along was there from the very beginning. Famously, 14 minutes of drunken bickering, recorded by journalist John Harris before the band's commercial breakthrough, came out as the bootleg 7" single in 1995.
The release, which climbed to number 52 on the UK singles chart, was described by as "easily one of the best Oasis records."
