“It’s going to absolutely dwarf that”: Taylor Swift Finally Has Some Competition as Experts Claim Oasis Reunion is Going to Obliterate Her Without Breaking a Sweat

Taylor Swift’s rule over the world of live concerts might come to an end soon, with the English rock band Oasis set to embark on a world tour. The band coming out of its longstanding hiatus is sure to spell trouble for the Cruel Summer singer.

Formed in Manchester in 1991, the rock band had five members- Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuigan, Tony McCarroll, and the Gallagher brothers. The band earned a great deal of fame and love for songs like Champagne Supernova, Stop Crying Your Heart Out, Supersonic, and Stay Young.

Undoubtedly, they made for one of the most successful groups of the Britpop genre. Despite all the appreciation and fame they had achieved, the band went on a hiatus in August 2009. Fans had been eagerly waiting for a miracle to happen, and their wait is finally coming to an end with the announcement of the Oasis reunion.

A Music Expert Believes That The Most Awaited Band Reunion Might Just Overtake Taylor Swift’s Craze

With English music band Oasis announcing its comeback with a world tour in July 2025 (via Instagram), experts are claiming that Taylor Swift is going to encounter strong competition. Former music journalist and DJ, Kevin McManus has offered an interesting perspective regarding the impact of this reunion.

After almost 15 years of the band’s split, the Gallagher brothers announced their return on August 27, 2024, with a worldwide tour named Live ’25. McManus, aware of the stardom they used to have, is pretty sure that the ticket sales for the Oasis tour will definitely surpass the ticket sales of Swift’s concerts. He told ITV News:

Taylor Swift is obviously the big deal this summer, but I think it’s going to absolutely dwarf that.

If McManus’ prediction turns out to be right, the world will witness a musical tour that is even bigger than the Eras Tour. For those interested, tickets for the Live ’25 concerts at 14 venues will be on sale on August 31. These 14 venues include Cardiff, Manchester Heaton Park, Murrayfield, Wembley Stadium, and Dublin Croke Park.

There will also be concerts outside of Europe. However, McManus has voiced the doubts fans might have about this whole ordeal.

And there’s always going to be that ‘are they going to do it? Are they going to fall out before the first show, are they going to fall out after five shows? Will they do the rest?’ There’s always going to be that air of jeopardy.

There is actually a huge amount of doubt about whether or not it’s actually going to happen considering the conditions in which the band split. Fans are hopeful that it will, but a lot can change in a year.

The Dispute Between the Gallagher Brothers Was the Primary Reason Behind Oasis’ Break Up

Even though both Noel and Liam Gallagher started Oasis together, they became the reason that the band faced a sorry end on August 28, 2009. The increasing tension between the two brothers broke up the entire band. The misery apparently began on September 29, 1994, when Liam Gallagher insulted the band and also chucked a tambourine at his brother (via Radiox.co.uk). 

Further, in May/June 1995, Noel Gallagher was visibly irritated with his brother and out of anger, took a cricket bat to hit him on the head. Many such similar events of tension were reported between the brothers, and this dispute between them curtailed hopes of any return. 

The final blow came when Liam Gallagher started wielding Noel Gallagher’s guitar around like an axe at a concert in August of 2009. The latter left the band on the same day, expressing his discomfort over working with his brother, and that was the end of it.

With the latest update, fans will be hoping that the band can regain the kind of success that it received during its initial run.
