Just rumours. No way are they doing any sort of reunion in the way that article suggests.
I’ll believe it when Noel says it, but I can’t see it

Money talks

[CEB2ElectricBoogaloo]

Gonna stick my neck out and say it’s not happening

[Dunners]

"One rumour suggests the latter venue [Wembley Stadium] is booked for ten nights...."

No way is Oasis able to sell out Wembley for ten nights. They weren't that big.

Britpop absolutely passed me by. Zero interest in this but I’m sure it will be fun for those attending (and the brothers bank balances).

Oasis as a brand is probably much more popular now than it was at its peak - scarcity increases demand.

I agree that there’s no way that ten nights at Wembley happens though - it’s been pulled out of someone’s arse.

I’m still sticking with it’s not happening, I’d be amazed if Noel hasn’t poured cold water on it within a week.

If it does happen, it’d be a big tour, not ten nights at Wembley

I really don’t appreciate the pessimism mate

Can you just f*** off and let me live in my pipe dream for one day please?

Cheers

Reminds me of when I saw Noel having lunch in a cafe in Soho. He had soup and the waitress asked if he wanted a roll with it.

I would love to see them on stage again.

Please no, didn't like them first time around, Wonderwall makes Mull of Kintyre sound tuneful.
As for ten nights at Wembley, they ain't no Ms Swift

Me too.

I'm also firmly in the "not a fan" camp when it comes to Oasis. But, that's as okay as it is for other people, who are fans, to enjoy their music and attend any gigs.

[RBMarshall]

I've just read the book by Alan Edwards, I was there.
When he was doing PR for Prince and he said he wanted to do a 21 night residency at the O2, he and everybody else thought no way.
It worked because the event was massive so everyone wanted to say they had been and Prince varied the show each night, so hard-core fans bought multiple tickets and were completely satisfied.

[Beradogs]

The people like me who went to Knebworth should get priority… as we didn’t actually see them first time around.

[Dunners]

I wouldn't say the two are comparable. Prince was a much bigger name than Oasis with an incredible body of work in terms of quantity and quality, plus the O2 is considerably smaller than Wembley. So a 21 night residency there was easily feasible IMO.

Keef may be right and the passage of time and desire for consumers ro be part of the experience could surprise me. But I'll remain skeptical until I'm proven wrong.

[oriboy]

It's definitely maybe happening

[Currywurst and Chips]

Hmmm

[Adz]

Those of us that saw them at the island should get priority

[Dunners]

That will be almost 30 years to the day that Definitely Maybe was released. The inclusion of 8.00am in the gif suggests a re-release. But interesting to see that all the hotels near the stadium are selling out.

[CEB2ElectricBoogaloo]

Oh it’s happening then.

Book up those premier inn rooms in Wembley to sell on for profit

I'll start by saying I was never into Oasis but bought a couple of albums as part of the overall collection back in the day. I've seen them both individually in the past year - and both were very good for differing reasons. Liam is a "must see" as his aura is something else. The bloke is so edgy I'm surprised he don't cut himself. Noel is clearly the brains behind the music and his music is very good. If I were scoring them then they'd both get 9/10 but for different reasons. Seeing them together would be a no brainer for me.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

I think they could do ten nights at Wembley. Knowing how chaotic they are it’s very much a possibility that it’s the last time they’ll play together. Their previous big live shows have got a mental level of mystic around then, even for casual fans.

[Dunners]

When configured for concerts the capacity at Wembley is 90,000. 10 nights equals 900,000 punters. Assuming the average ticket costs £150 (which I reckon is a low estimate), that would generate gross income of £135,000,000.

And that's before you factor in Heaton Park, merchandise, album re-issues etc. I guess that could go some way to help the brothers overcome their differences.
