Oasis Reunion Confirmed: Andy Bell Joins the Band for Highly Anticipated Tour
The rumors are true! Oasis, one of the most iconic bands of the Britpop era, is reuniting, and longtime bassist Andy Bell has officially confirmed his participation in the upcoming tour. This news is sending shockwaves through the music world, sparking excitement and anticipation among fans who have longed for this moment since the band's split in 2009.
Bell, who joined Oasis in 1999 and contributed his songwriting talents to their last three albums, confirmed his involvement to Austrian outlet OE24 following a performance by his band, Ride. "Yes, I’m in and I’m really looking forward to it," Bell stated, adding a humorous touch: "We’ll see each other on tour. Or rather, you’ll see me, because I’ll hardly be able to spot you in the audience!"
Speculation surrounding the Oasis reunion had been building for months. While Liam Gallagher initially dismissed rumors, claiming that Bell shouldn't be "getting people’s hopes up," the confirmation of Bell's presence adds another layer of authenticity to the highly anticipated return. NME previously reported that their sources indicated the Gallaghers would be joined by Gem Archer, Bell, co-founder Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, and drummer Joey Waronker.
The Oasis Live ’25 World Tour is set to hit stadiums across the U.K., North America, Asia, Australia, and South America from July through November. Fans who haven't had the chance to experience the band live will finally get their opportunity. However, Alec McKinlay, who heads the band's Ignition Management and Big Brother Recordings, has clarified that there are currently no plans for new music, emphasizing that this tour is likely the last chapter for Oasis.
Despite the lack of new material, the reunion tour promises to be a massive event for Oasis fans. With Bell back in the fold, the stage is set for a nostalgic journey through the band's iconic discography.
