Richard Madeley halted Good Morning Britain on Tuesday to announce the ‘biggest showbiz news of the year.’
Admitting he had been ‘counting down to this moment’ the presenter, 68, paused the show in line with Liam and Noel Gallagher‘s 8am announcement.
After weeks of growing speculation about an Oasis comeback, the Manchester brothers have finally put their long-standing feud to one side to return to the stage.
Confirming the news during the ITV programme, presenter Charlotte Hawkins, then explained they had reformed for a mammoth tour around the UK and Ireland.
‘That is the breaking news,’ she said.

‘We’ve been counting down to the moment, haven’t we, at 8 o’clock, when we knew Oasis were going to announce something. They’ve revealed news of a huge UK tour, the news is that Oasis are reuniting for 2025.’
Charlotte then read the band’s statement: ‘Oasis said, “The guns have fallen silent, the stars have aligned, the great wait is over. Come see – it will not be televised.'”
Excitement reached fever pitch on Sunday after the pair shared the same video, written in the Oasis style, teasing an announcement for Tuesday 8am.
The same poster appeared on big screens as Liam finished his headline slot at Reading Festival on Sunday.
And this morning, the iconic Britpop band ended all speculation by confirming a string of gigs – which will not be televised – in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin for next summer.
The 14-show tour will run from July 4 to August 17, kicking off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium before the brothers pack out Heaton Park in Manchester, Wembley in London, Murrayfield in Edinburgh and Croke Park in Dublin.
Despite speculation that Oasis will be on the bill at Glastonbury 2025, it’s understood the band will not be performing at Worthy Farm.
However, plans are underway for Oasis to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year.

The Oasis website crashed immediately after the announcement as fans were sent into a frenzy. The reunion comes a day before the date the band split on August 28 2009.
Tickets to see the Don’t Look Back In Anger hitmakers will go on sale in the UK from 9am on August 31, while Dublin tickets will be available from 8am on the same day.
It’s understood the brothers buried the hatchet during a late night phone call to embark on a £50million reunion tour.
Today’s announcement comes before tracks from the first recording session for Oasis’s debut album Definitely Maybe are released on Friday, marking its 30-year anniversary.
