British rock band Oasis announced on Wednesday two additional London dates in September due to “phenomenal demand” for their comeback tour and will change the way they sell tickets after a controversy over the weekend. “Two additional shows at Wembley Stadium have been added due to phenomenal demand,” the Manchester duo said on X. They will take place on September 27 and 28, 2025, more than a month after the 17 concerts scheduled for July and August in the UK and Ireland.
The Gallagher brothers announced last week that they were reuniting with iconic Britpop band Oasis for the series of concerts, which has sparked huge excitement 15 years after their split. But the chaotic ticket sales on Saturday for the Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin dates – all of which sold out within the day – have sparked anger and frustration among fans.
1.4 million tickets were sold on Saturday
They faced numerous outages on saturated sales platforms and had the unpleasant surprise of discovering at the last moment that “dynamic pricing” had caused prices to soar. This time, tickets will be sold according to a “staggered” process and with “an invitation-only draw,” the group stressed on X.
British fans who failed to secure tickets on Saturday through Ticketmaster UK, the main ticketing site, will be given priority access to the draw, Oasis has promised, with more details on the process to follow. In the face of the controversy, the British government has promised to look into the controversial methods of selling concert tickets, including the practice of “dynamic pricing” which has seen some Oasis tour tickets soar from £150 to more than £350.
On Monday, hundreds of fans filed complaints with the British advertising regulator. In total, more than 1.4 million tickets were sold on Saturday, the BBC estimated. Wembley Stadium, where these two dates were added, has a capacity of 90,000.
