In a recent interview with Rockklassiker, Myles Kennedy shared his thoughts on the news that Oasis is reuniting for a world tour in 2025.
“Finally. I mean, look, one of my favorite choruses of all time… As a songwriter, a lot of times we think in parts, like, ‘Oh, that’s a great part. Why couldn’t I have written that part?’ And to me, one of the greatest choruses ever written is ‘Champagne Supernova’. That is such a massive hook. So I would love to see that live. Just that moment would be worth whatever bazillions of dollars they’re charging [for tickets],” he said.
“I don’t know what that’s at this point,” Kennedy continued. “But yeah, I think it’s great. Because the thing is when people who didn’t get to see it live, and any band that reunites… Like we’re seeing that right now with my partners in crime getting back together with Creed, and there’s a whole generation of people who didn’t get to hear those songs live. So there’s something about that, when you get to experience the original guys who played and performed the song and hear it at that volume and see them. That’s a whole thing that you should get to experience.”
Fans trying to buy tickets from Ticketmaster experienced the website crashing multiple times and received warnings from the band that tickets from resale sites would be canceled by the promoters. While some like Kennedy think it’s worth the money, others think it’s way too expensive even for Oasis. Some people even shared some hilarious reactions online.
“I’ve got a pair of Oasis tickets for 30th July 2025 Wembley. Looking to swap for a 3 bedroom end of terrace property,” a user said on X. Another responded to the band’s warning: “It’s a bit rich Oasis saying don’t resell tickets for profit when they’ve made a career doing that with Beatles songs.”
In other news, Ticketmaster’s pricing for Oasis tickets is now under investigation in the UK. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced that it will look into Ticketmaster’s ‘dynamic pricing,’ where ticket prices can change quickly based on market conditions.
Many Oasis fans waited online for hours to get tickets only to pay more than double the original ticket price. For example, standard standing tickets were often sold for £355 instead of the expected £148. “It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used,” the band said in a statement about the matter.
Oasis’s 2025 tour has 19 shows planned so far, and it is said to be the biggest concert launch ever in the U.K. and Ireland. Over 10 million people from 158 countries tried to buy tickets, and they all sold out in under a day.
