We’re officially one month into one of the most hotly anticipated events of the year. The Gallagher brothers really have made peace and over the past month Oasis has performed to hundreds of thousands of fans for the first time in 16 years.

Can you still get tickets?
All of Oasis’ reunion shows sold out in minutes when tickets went live last summer, so your only option if you want to bag a last minute ticket will be via resale. StubHub and Viagogo both have tickets for their Murrayfield shows up for grabs at the time of writing.
In a statement on Oasis resale tickets, StubHub said: ‘Every order on our platform is backed by our FanProtect guarantee which means in the rare scenario that a fan cannot get in, we will work to provide a replacement ticket or issue a full refund. We provide full transparency of all ticket conditions, including any restrictions, so fans can make an informed choice before they buy.’
Viagogo said: ‘Resale is legal and highly regulated in the UK. On Viagogo, fans are protected by the guarantee. This means that fans receive their tickets in time for the event and in the rare event of an issue, they are offered replacement tickets or their money back.’
