Starting a thread for 2025 gigs as they'll likely start rolling in.
I'll arbitrarily throw in Rob Beckett playing the Olympia on the 26th September 2025 which went on sale today.
Bingo.
Loved Sleeper or Loved Louise? I think that was an unresolved conundrum for my pals and I back in 1995.
Same! Don't think I've ever seen them live
Loved Sleeper back in the day. Will be down the front at the Academy 😎
Sleeper and Self Esteem gigs announced today 😁
Tivoli in 2017 was last Dublin show in 2017, academy before that. Stadium a stretch I think. Don’t think fan base has grown in the years since
Are they big enough for the NS these days?
Tbf they're whole Irish tour during the summer are smaller shows like Galway arts festival etc so probably do these intimate ones before a bigger tour
genuinely could be, would be a great little homecoming gig, although idk if they’ve gotten to big to want to bother with here anymore
the horrors
Picture This?
Something happening on the 8th and 28th of June in Dreamland Ballroom, same venue as Johnny Marr last year and Bob Geldof this year
yet another LATM show
I’m not plucking numbers out of the air. These are the standard commission rates for agents and managers in the music business. Managers get 20% of an artist gross income and agencies get 10-15% of artists live show fees. These are similar rates across all such fields from sports to film.
Spot on.
And once people have experienced Oasis greatest hits once, there's little reason to shell out mega money to see it again.
Especially if the performances are as dogshit as they were throughout most of the 2000s up until they broke up.
"Hello /checks notes/ Springfield. Are ya mad fer it?"
Another round of stadiums in 2026 to cash in on the demand is possible, assuming they can be arsed, keep it together on this tour, and really want the money.
Agent gets 15%, management 20%.
Rubbish, absolute rubbish.
Why would Oasis spend 35% of the tour gross on admin. 140-200m.
Just plucking numbers out of thin air.
it’s about money in sense that time was ripe for reunion, make a ton of money in 2025 and possibly 2026. Noel makes another boatload selling his rights which has appreciated in value with reunion hype. Maybe a new oasis album will be released in next year. But do I think noel/Liam will still be touring the oasis greatest hits show in 2027/2028 probably not. I’m sure both are happy to reconvene for a while and then back and do new music for themselves.
of course there will be
Without new music it’s the same show over and over again
It’ll be one tour, maybe 2, and cheers for the cash bye
I think it's pretty obvious the Oasis reunion is just about the money, Liam was doing fairly well with Oasis lite, Noel Gallagher was fairly stagnant let's be honest and the divorce has come and the band has gotten back together, he's been pretty open that if the money is of a certain amount the bands getting back on the road and it has,
Same with GnR, Slash has a big divorce band gets back together make a tonne of money and they tour indefinitely, any big reunion is about the money end of, it's not for the love of the music or that, it's strictly about the money and can you put up with being beside these lads for 1.5-2hrs a night and get paid,
At the end of the day, aren't all tours at that level just about maximizing as much money as possible out of people/fans, I mean price of tickets have gone up exponentially, residencies to reduce travel costs, merch being limited edition and overpriced, more or less same setlists every night, cheap support, dynamic pricing,
You just have to decide do you want to partake, there's plenty of smaller acts out there
Liams Definitely Maybe gig was better than any Oasis gig I ever saw.
You can't have it both ways, if its all about money then their solo careers are over (Liams solo career was just Oasis lite anyway & unless Gallagher Squire tickets are much cheaper than in 2024 and the music much better, that's not going anywhere fast) and Oasis will be touring every so often.
My Chemical Romance got back together in 2019 and with regards to press it was similar in that they did none. Everybody assumed new material was a certainty then but lo and behold 6 years later and nothing substantial has happened. The point being while you may assume what will happen, in reality you have no idea what the plans are beyond this year and some likely gigs next year. It being about money does not make it a fact that they won't be recording new material etc. which we just saw both Red Hot Chill Peppers and blink 182 do.
diminishing returns as in they can’t keep do stadiums every year, especially at the prices they were charging. Too popular for arena shows and that capacity doesn’t make sense financially for them. Only so much money they can extract from people. And no chance of Glastonbury, they want money. They aren’t going to play shows for peanuts.
there is a 35% discount offer for it, so that’s a discount offer
Haha that's me and my oh !
Mortified by his snoring beside me at various events so I get standing wherever I can !
Some gigs you can pretty much get free tickets the day of or day before. Bon Jovi in the RDS a couple of years ago was the highest profile one I can remember.
Diminishing returns for Oasis 😂😂😂 I want what you’re on lol Has Glastonbury not been a fallow year in 26 it could well have lined up that they would have headlined then as they will almost definitely be touring Europe and doing more UK shows then.
that’s wrong. The guarantee for oasis is in the millions per show, that’s already been paid over by the promoters to oasis agent/manager who uses it fund the tour costs. within the contracts there is clawback of oasis don’t show up. a week after the concert the ticketing company IE Ticketmaster pays over the ticket revenue to promoter. Promoter does settlement with agent outlining the costs/profit for the show and the agreed % to promoter. Difference between guarantee and oasis profit will be then paid over to settle it all.
They discussed this on an old episode of the rest is entertainment podcast. They said that for tours like that a company is set up and generally speaking the promoter will pay an advance to the artists, and then as they play each gig they get paid for that gig more or less immediately. The company then pays out to all hired staff (roadies, caterers, transport, the artists themselves, etc) on whatever agreed rates.
They suggested that for Oasis and with their history the advance they get will be tiny due to the risk. So they'll get paid as they do the gigs, if they pull out they don't get paid. The promoter would likely be on the hook for any extra payments needed if a gig was cancelled.
I know all the memes are about them fighting on stage at the first concert but I genuinely couldn’t see them not going through
I don’t know if I believe they’ve actually made up but there is no greater motivator for these men than the almighty dollar (or pound in their case)
But they both have to complete the tour. Wonder what happens if they don’t?
