Story

Oasis has officially announced that they will not be adding any more UK tour dates, including a return to the historic Knebworth Park, where they performed two iconic concerts in 1996. The band recently revealed their reunion plans, which include a series of concerts starting in Cardiff, but have confirmed that the current lineup of shows will be the only ones in the UK. This decision comes after speculation arose from reports suggesting the Gallagher brothers were considering additional dates due to high demand. The band’s statement on social media emphasized that there are no future plans for Knebworth Park performances, quelling rumors and fan hopes for a return to the venue. The current tour consists of 19 dates, including two newly added shows at Wembley Stadium in September, following technical issues that prevented some fans from securing tickets. In light of the ticketing challenges, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating Ticketmaster for potential breaches of consumer protection laws, particularly regarding the pricing strategies employed during the ticket sales. Reports indicated that ticket prices had significantly increased, raising concerns among fans and consumer advocacy groups. Despite the ongoing investigation and the controversy surrounding ticket sales, Oasis has not announced any plans for international tour dates beyond Europe. Fans are left to await further updates as the band prepares for their upcoming concerts, which are highly anticipated following their long hiatus.
