The British rock band Oasis is reportedly planning an extensive residency at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, potentially spanning 12 nights across May and June 2025. The residency is part of the band’s ongoing "Live 2025" reunion tour, which is expected to include several major performances worldwide.

Insiders indicate that the residency could be extended to as many as 20 dates, reflecting significant demand. The upcoming tour is also expected to feature a return to Knebworth, where Oasis previously performed to large crowds. While official confirmation has yet to be made, there is additional speculation about the band headlining the Glastonbury Festival next year.

A source close to the arrangement revealed that a luxury city-center hotel in Manchester has been reserved from May through June to accommodate Oasis and their supporting entourage during the residency period. Industry observers suggest that the series of concerts could have a considerable impact on Manchester’s local economy.

In a related development, Liam Gallagher, Oasis’s lead vocalist, has been announced as the new ambassador for Brighter Sound, a Manchester-based charity that supports emerging musicians. The organization, now in its 25th year, annually assists around 1,000 creatives, focusing particularly on those facing barriers to entering the music industry.

Liam Gallagher expressed his enthusiasm for the role, stating he is honored to support initiatives that help younger generations launch their music projects. He underscored the need for greater support for the arts, particularly for working-class communities.

The announcement of Gallagher’s ambassadorship follows Oasis’s recent resurgence and aligns with the broader momentum generated by their reunion tour as they prepare for a series of high-profile performances throughout 2025.
