Oasis expand reunion tour to Australia

-

Oasis have expanded their phenomenally successful reunion tour to Australia, with a pair of gigs in Melbourne and Sydney.

The band will play Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on 31 October 2025, followed by Sydney’s Accor Stadium on 7 November. Tickets go on sale on Tuesday 15 October, with hopeful fans now able to register for presale access.

It’s the third continent to be added to the tour, after the initial announcement of gigs in the UK and Ireland, and a leg in North America.

The UK tour dates were hugely oversubscribed, with more than 10 million fans queueing online to buy tickets.

The band and Ticketmaster deployed dynamic pricing during the initial sales period, trebling the price of some tickets due to their popularity. After outrage from fans, the UK watchdog Competition and Markets Authority is investigating whether the sales were unfair, while Oasis distanced themselves from the issue, saying: “Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management.”

UK culture secretary Lisa Nandy said: “It’s depressing to see vastly inflated prices excluding ordinary fans from having a chance of enjoying their favourite band,” and said dynamic pricing would be looked at in a broader consultation on the controversial ticket resales market.

Dynamic pricing was not used for the US tour sales. After the first wave of stadium dates there quickly sold out, the band added four more, which sold out too. It underlines the enduring popularity of a band who did better than most in breaking North America: they reached the Top Five of the US album chart three times, and twice topped the equivalent chart in Canada.

Australia also embraced the band, with the album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory and Be Here Now both reaching No 1 there.

Oasis are also rumoured to be planning dates in South Korea, Japan, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
