Oasis

2009 Summer shows on sale

Tickets for Oasis are on sale now.

OASIS will undertake their biggest ever tour of open air venues in the UK and Ireland next summer. It includes two dates at the iconic new Wembley Stadium as well as the promised homecoming shows over two nights in Manchester's Heaton Park. The tour will also see the band's first ever visit to Sunderland's Stadium of Light.

Oasis will be joined on all the UK dates by special guests Kasabian and The Enemy.

These will be the band’s first shows at the new Wembley Stadium, having filmed their acclaimed live DVD ‘Familiar to Millions’ at the old venue in 2000. The Manchester dates at Heaton Park coincide with the centenary of the first music event in the park, when a gramophone recording of the Italian opera singer Enrico Caruso attracted 40,000 to the beautiful Manchester City Council owned family park. More recently in 1991, Electronic, The Buzzcocks and Happy Mondays (amongst others) played a two day concert to honour the legendary Factory Records produce Martin Hannett who had died earlier that year. Although this is the first headline appearance at the legendary Slane Castle, Oasis did perform there in 1995 as guests of REM.

The band are presently on a sold out tour of the UK, (which includes two nights at Wembley Arena) which saw all 180,000 tickets sell out as quickly as phone lines and internet sites could process applications.

New album ‘Dig Out Your Soul’, the first album to be released on Oasis' own Big Brother Recordings label internationally has chalked up the band's best first week international chart results in over a decade. Having already notched up over 200,000 sales over the counter to debut at number 1 in the UK (their seventh consecutive studio album to do so), ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ has also topped the charts in Japan and Italy and has entered the US charts at number 5, the first time the band have cracked the top five of the US charts since ‘Be Here Now’ went in at number 2 in 1997.  The album has also charted in the top ten in countries across the globe, including; Ireland (2), Switzerland (2), France (4), Belgium (9) Australia (5), New Zealand (6) Canada (5), Argentina (3)  and Germany (8).
