Oasis have announced additional shows at London’s Wembley Stadium, but tickets will be made available through a staggered, invitation-only ballot process.
The additional shows will take place on September 27 and 28 next year, and applications to join the ballot will be opened first to UK fans that were unsuccessful in the initial onsale with Ticketmaster.
According to an announcement, the tour was the biggest concert launch to date in the UK and Ireland, with more than 10 million fans from 158 countries attempting to purchase tickets.
Oasis also used the opportunity to distance itself from Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing strategy, where prices of tickets increase with demand. The use of dynamic pricing in the original onsale prompted backlash from fans and a response from UK Ministers, who said they would look into the practice as part of its ticketing consultation this autumn.

“As for the well-reported complaints many buyers had over the operation of Ticketmaster’s dynamic ticketing: it needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used,” the band said in a statement.
“While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations.
“All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience, but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve.”
Oasis first announced their 2025 reunion at the end of last month. Two shows are scheduled for Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on July 4 and 5; five shows at Manchester’s Heaton Park between July 11-20; seven concerts at Wembley between July 25 and August 3, and again on September 27-28; three performances at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium from August 8-12; and two at Dublin’s Croke Park on August 16 and 17.
