Ahead of today's reunion announcement, rumours swirled that Oasis could headline Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage for a third time as part of their return next summer, having previously done so in 1995 and 2004.

So what's the story?

Well, while the band have so far only officially confirmed the stadium dates as their sole "European shows", they haven't explicitly ruled out a festival appearance.

Were they to rock up at Worthy Farm, it would fall in late June, before they set off on the opening UK leg of their world tour in July.

Glastonbury's line-up is yet to be finalised and surprise appearances are not unusual. The band may see it as a chance at redemption after their 2004 headline slot was poorly received.

Speaking since, Liam Gallagher admitted he "hated" the performance, blaming his use of in-ear monitors for ruining his stride.

"I’ve always enjoyed Glastonbury. There’s only one that I didn’t and that was when I wore a white jacket," he told BBC 6 Music’s Matt Everitt in 2019.

"I didn’t enjoy that because that was when I’d first started using in ears [monitors to hear the music] and it’s spun me out for 15 years. I hated that gig, man.”

Let's return to the question that will be top of mind for most Oasis fans this morning: how much will it cost?

In 1996, an incredible 2.5 million people applied for tickets to their two dates at Knebworth – which could hint at the demand any new gigs might see.

And given how long fans have had to wait to see them together, it’s possible some will be prepared to cough up a lot.

For Taylor Swift’s Eras tour in the UK, general admission was priced at £110.

There were also VIP packages, which come with bonus merchandise and other perks - including early entry - that ranged in price from £196 to £662.

The Oasis ticket prices will be released this Thursday, two days before they go on sale – so we’ll find out soon enough.

Staying in Manchester, the BBC caught up with Jasmine Wall who says she's still reeling from this morning's announcement.

"I'm in shock," she says. "I never thought they'd get back together."

Since moving to Manchester a couple of years ago, the 26-year-old Oasis fan says she feels "a part of them a little bit".

"That sounds really cheesy," she adds.

"Whenever their songs come on and you're on a night out, you just feel part of the hub.

"They represent Manchester as a whole, that's the class they came from, how they grew up. When you look at them, they do just look like average blokes don't they?" she says.

"It's just so easy to relate to them."

If you saw Oasis in 2009, a ticket would have set you back about £40.

Fast forward 15 years and fans are used to paying a lot more than that.

Back then - the last time Oasis performed together - Holly Smail, Kym Macaulay and Lucy Byers who stop to chat in Manchester were just five years old.

“They’re the iconic British band that everyone knows,” Holly, from the Scottish borders, says.

"They're such a cult classic," adds Kym. "There's nobody like them and there never will be again."

With tickets to see stars like Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift setting fans back hundreds of pounds, this group of friends isn't expecting to see Oasis for £40 any time soon.

Holly says she'd pay £150, while Lucy says she'd be willing to fork out up to £200.

"They're so nostalgic," she says. "We grew up with their music - it's so good."

We can now bring you some more details about Oasis' UK and Ireland shows, as the countdown for the ticket sale on 31 August has already begun.

Despite being just under four days away, Ticketmaster has released some of the rules and restrictions around who will and won't be able to attend the much-anticipated reunion tour. These include:

• A maximum of four tickets per person and per household applies. Tickets in excess of this will be cancelled
• No under 14s will be admitted in general admission. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult over 18
• Under 12s will be admitted in reserved seating if they are accompanied by an adult over 18
• No children aged 5 or under

Oasis fans have spent the weekend asking: Is it definitely, or is it maybe?

Rumours were spreading like wildfire about the potential reunion of the band, and on Tuesday morning, it was confirmed: It’s definite.

Now fans in Burnage, the Manchester suburb where the Gallaghers grew up, cannot wait.

"They're a big part of my life growing up," says one woman, who has an Oasis tattoo on her back. "I am so excited."

"We've grown up around the corner from Noel and Liam," says another.

"You can't put a price on a band such as Oasis, can you?" she adds. "Burnage people will pay [to see them], and so will everyone else."

It’s not just us normal Oasis fans who are excited.

Plenty of celebrities have also begun sharing their thoughts this morning on the band's reunion.

On Instagram, English singer-songwriter Tom Grennan described it as “massive”.

Presenter and television personality Jamie Laing simply wrote: “Yikes.”

And on X, formerly Twitter, the football pundit and former player Stan Collymore said Oasis were “part of what reinvented British cool” in the 90s.

Quite a lot.

Both have been pursuing successful solo careers. Liam achieved five number one albums including As You Were, and C'mon You Know.

He’s also been seen performing at numerous festivals - including Glastonbury in 2017.

On Sunday night, he headlined Reading and Leeds festival, where he played the Oasis banger Half the World Away. He dedicated that to his brother Noel, which helped send the rumour mill into overdrive.

Not to be outdone, Noel also was quick to set up his own band - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - a year after Oasis split up.

That band has also had chart-topping albums – and played Glastonbury in 2022.

Day one of V Festival 2009 at Weston Park, Shropshire and there was a big headline act to end the day: Oasis.

I'd never seen them before and as a child of the 90s, with all their albums, I couldn't wait.

They played all the hits and at times the crowd were singing so loud, you couldn't hear the band. Everyone there knew every word.

You could tell there was tension on stage, and it seemed to us the show ended quite abruptly. What we didn't know at the time was that would be the last time they would perform.

There were due to play the next night at the Chelmsford leg of V, but they never did.

Who knew we were witnessing a bit of music history.

Some fans woke up to this morning's news of an Oasis reunion by circling dates in their calendar, but the same cannot be said for everyone.

BBC Radio 5 Live listeners have been sharing their reactions, with some asking, "why don't they call it a day?" and others saying "this will be unmatched by anything else".

It's clear that the band are continuing to divide opinion even after the Gallagher brothers seemed to have resolved their own rift.

But for Amanda in Edinburgh "seeing Oasis is all about the memories - singing along to all the old hits wearing Fred Perry polo shirts".

However, Trudi offers a more ominous warning: "if ever there was a gig you should take cancellation insurance for..."

Liv tells 5 Live that she believes "Oasis are tapping into the huge audience of empty nesters trying to relive their youth" while Nick in Nottingham says he's also not convinced that "fans will get to see the so called 'electricity' of Liam and Noel both on stage".

For many people, it was the hedonism, the don’t care attitude, that summed up Oasis best.

Music journalist John Robb, who recently interviewed Noel Gallagher, said that’s the feeling that fans, particularly of an older generation, will be feeling today.

“This is a moment in their lives when everything felt possible,” Robb tells BBC Breakfast.

“The Oasis song Live Forever… in two words, it’s quite poetic. [It’s] that power of pop music to soundtrack a moment of your life when you were completely free.”

I’ll add to that: the two brothers from humble beginnings singing about being a rock and roll star, or about starting revolutions in Don’t Look Back in Anger.

Yes, it might be a Tuesday back to work after (at least in the UK) a bank holiday.

But for Oasis lovers, today is about going back to that moment of freedom, from 20 or 30 years ago.

More now on reaction to the announcement that Oasis are reuniting.

Edith Bowman, a radio DJ and TV presenter, tells the BBC Today programme that Oasis were "timeless" and "wore their influence on their sleeves."

Bowman went on to say how what she and others "love" about the English rock band is how "they are passed down to new generations".

"They were our Beatles and people connected with them," she says.

Will Hodgkinson, chief rock and pop critic at The Times, tells the Today programme that Oasis have always been "honest".

The announcement has been "in the works" but it has "all happened very quickly."

"I think what they do is represent a more carefree time but there’s a feeling with Oasis that anything is possible."

The Gallagher brothers have been famously feuding for well over a decade.

Their feuds were the stuff of rock legend with sibling rivalry, clashing egos, and explosive tempers leading to public insults and physical altercations.

Even after their split in 2009, the brothers continued bickering publicly, taking every opportunity to insult each other in interviews and on social media.

The acrimonious relationship that was so public and well documented meant many fans had given up hope that a reunion was ever on the cards.

Now it seems Noel and Liam have been able to put their differences aside - for at least 14 days

The long-feuding Gallagher brothers – Noel and Liam – have also confirmed Oasis’ reunion dates in two separate posts on their respective social media feeds, alongside a montage of their most iconic gigs and music videos.

“This is it, this is happening," Liam, external and Noel, external have both written on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The revival comes a day before the date they split on 28 August 2009.

So far, only UK and Ireland dates for Oasis' world reunion tour have been announced.

But for those keen to catch the band reunite, mark the date Saturday, 31 August 2024 in your calendar.

For the UK shows, tickets will go on sale from 09:00 BST - Dublin tickets will be available from 08:00 BST on that same day.

This is more than an average band reunion - it’s a brotherly reconciliation too.

Liam and Noel Gallagher have always had a fractious relationship, and a string of tours have fallen apart over the years, ending in the backstage fight in 2009 that resulted in Noel leaving the band.

So have they made up? Has their mum Peggy – widely seen as rock’s matriarch – hit her sons around the head and forced them to reconcile?

One thing’s clear - the siblings’ relationship on and off stage will continue to dominate headlines in the coming year.

Though only UK and Ireland tour dates have so far been announced, there are plans are under way for Oasis to tour other continents outside of Europe later next year.

In a statement released moments ago, the English band confirms that they will be touring throughout Ireland and the UK starting in July next year.

The other world shows, it adds, have yet to be announced.

In the band's first comment on the world tour, they've released this statement:
