The announcement of the Oasis Reunion Tour 2025 has sparked significant excitement among fans, particularly regarding the highly anticipated Dublin gig. This resurgence of interest in the iconic Britpop band, known for their anthemic sound and cultural impact in the 1990s, reflects not only nostalgia but also a broader trend in music where legacy acts are reuniting to capitalize on their enduring popularity. The demand for tickets has been staggering, with thousands of fans vying for a chance to witness what many consider a once-in-a-lifetime event.
The overwhelming response to ticket sales highlights several key factors influencing contemporary concert culture. Firstly, the emotional connection that fans have with Oasis's music plays a crucial role; songs such as "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger" resonate deeply across generations. This deep-seated affinity drives an urgency among fans to secure their attendance at live performances. Secondly, the scarcity of opportunities to see such legendary bands live contributes significantly to ticket demand. With many original members having pursued solo careers or other ventures over the years, this reunion signifies a rare opportunity for fans who may have missed previous tours.
A limited number of fans were able to buy the first batch of tickets during a three-hour window on Friday evening.
Shortly after, tickets were being listed online for more than £6,000 - around 40 times the face value of a standing ticket.
Oasis urged people not to resell tickets at higher prices on websites not linked to their promoter, and said they would be "cancelled".
A statement from the band said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
“Oasis today end years of feverish speculation with the confirmation of a long awaited run of UK and Ireland shows forming the domestic leg of their OASIS LIVE 25 world tour,” a press release about the reunion said.
Ticketmaster outages reported in the last 24 hours spiked around 8am as the first fans logged on.
Reports shot past 4,000 just after the hour, having sat at around zero through Friday into Saturday.
The site started adding users to a queue to get into the website, citing the 'many fans currently using our site'.
Responding to complaints on Twitter/X, Ticketmaster advised fans on how to limit the likelihood of a crash.
