Looks like my source was right about the reunion and the venues/dates, he also said Toronto, Chicago, New Jersey, Boston, Los Angeles and Mexico City.

An

Bonehead plays live with Liam so I’d expect him to be part of it.

Any word on the line-up? I fear, session musicians from both solo careers. Yes, definitely Bonehead. Maybe.

No shows outside of the UK?

I get the feeling they will be announced later.

Best comment award goes to Amanda.

It's amazing how far apart in popularity the Britpop-greats are on Spotify:

Oasis 21,6 M
Blur 11,2 M
Pulp 2,1 M
Suede 0,6 M

 

[Phranc & Open]

It says "Only gigs in Europe 2025".

Liam was begging for this to happen on any occasion given. Noel just didn't need it. He wrote the songs, that became hits. You can't help thinking, they're in it for the money now. Without Bonehead, Guigsy and Alan White, it wouldn't be the same.

I don’t think it’s the money for Liam, he’s always wanted the reunion even though he has an incredibly successful solo career.

 

[Thewlis]

Nah, hardly 'incredibly succesful', maybe decent.
It says a lot that he is touring the Oasis songs at the moment instead of playing his own solo stuff.

3 solo albums, each one straight in at number 1, each one either platinum or gold selling, 2 number 1 live albums, a number 1 album with John Squire, 2 nights at Knebworth playing to 170k people which wasn't part of the Definitely Maybe tour, that's more than decent and if those stats were Morrissey's you would be saying something very different.

You're referring to the UK alone, but the world is bigger.

Oasis have 21,6 million worldwide listeners on Spotify, Liam has 1,1 million.
That's decent, but nowhere near where he could be.

His album with John Squire didn't really do much either. I was expecting it to do better, two legends.

The John Squire album also went to number 1, as per my updated post.

You're obsessed with Spotify, Artists do not give a shit about Spotify. Spotify does have any linkage to album sales nor how many people will attend a concert.

 

[Thewlis]

You're obsessed with Spotify, Artists do not give a shit about Spotify, it's album sales and concerts that they care about.

They do care, as it's a good measure of someone's global and continuing popularity.

The reunion is the main story in the 'legacy' media this morning. Clearly some big money to be made in pushing this as something akin to the second coming. This really is the death throws of popular music. Like the leg of a corpse jerking with merely reflexive spasms. Pop will eat itself - never a truer word spoken.

Do Morrissey's monthly listens translate into Album sales or volume of tickets sold for concerts.

Album sales are at an alltime low, most people these days listen to music digitally.

Maybe but Liam still manages to sell anywhere between 100k and 400k in the UK alone.

 

[Thewlis]

Again, the world is bigger than the UK. You're UK obessed.
Oasis sold millions upon millions worldwide. Liam doesn't.
