Per the twittersphere it's most like to be based around NGHFB... which includes a couple later members... Gem Archer, Chris Sharrock..Maybe Bonehead will be floating around somewhere, as he's appeared at some LG gigs.

My family used to run a B&B from their house in Corstorphine. Might be worth opening for the weekend. And I know what weekend we won't be visiting my mum.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
They've not even confirmed the band line up.
I saw them a few times dating back to 94, when they were very exciting live. Later the shows got quite boring as the original members fell away and it turned into the Noel and Liam show.

That was my experience too. The two of them sniping at each other on stage at Reading last time I saw them was the low point. Actually, no, Liam's bladdered Wembley gig was even worse, thinking about it.
Earls Court /Knebworth were both ace though. Glastonbury in the middle of the afternoon on the 2nd stage was fun too, even though I think I only knew one song by them at that point.
Still in two minds about this. I think the ticket prices will finally put me off if they're as high as I think they might be.

He doesn't seem to move around much on stage but I can well imagine.... He is what makes them any good and central to the sound.
If anyone else had to sing the lyrics it would sound shit. Imagine for example Robbie Williams as front man
I can't think of anyone who could pull off those songs without making them sound a lot worse
He'd be fun to meet for ten minutes I reckon.
Anyway, an hour to go!!!
I got pissed with him and Danny from Supergrass at Babington House after Glastonbury 2004 and can confirm he is fun to meet for a few hours.
Saw them live at Oxford Brookes NUS convention in 1994 and thought they were crap, but i was peak blinkered house music back then so guitars were not on my list. Can't imagine they were too enthusiastic about playing to 25 student ents people though.
Might have access to a ticket through Mlle Fire's work so will probably go and take the boss for a works night out.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Kier Starmer will get free tickets. And be photod with his warm plastic pint glass of carling held aloft during 'Acquiesce'.

I'm not a fan in the least until this morning when I sold an Oasis t shirt for a slightly inflated price We all know you're gonna need a mortgage for a ticket and by the time they get to London they'll play enough of a gig to fulfill legal obligations so you'll end up with 20 minutes or so for overpriced ticket and then an on stage scrap but it pays the pension fund/tax bill.

We had tickets for Knebworth 1996. It was my son’s 8th birthday and we (me? surely my ex?) thought it was perfectly feasible to take the kids to Chessington World of Adventures earlier in the day. Babysitter booked, we just had to get back to Cambridge in time.
Traffic jam from at least 10 miles along the M25 plus the entire A1M meant we got home around 9pm and obviously missed them. It was a moment in time and might have been a fun thing to tick off in those days. I quite like Don’t Look Back In Anger and The Masterplan, but the three albums I had were hardly played, pretty dull really.

First few dates will be more popular as there's always a chance they won't be together for the later ones

I bagged a copy of this in 94 when working for NUS Ents.
Still have it somewhere but it's not in mint condition anymore, well used unfortunately.

I think there's several million reasons why they will.

I had Definitely Maybe and a few early singles on vinyl, I sold them along with a few others about 10 years ago when my need for money overcame my desire to own cool 90s indie records I never listened to. (I didn't sell my Ride EPs though and I'm still happy about that...)
And I still have my Supersonic 7" because it was the very first and I'm sentimental that way, awwww

Never heard that one before!
I think part of Oasis' appeal is that they weren't smug sneerers like the Stone Roses, or sub-Smiths depressing drivellers like loads of auto-extruded Indie product people were. They came along at a time when there had been a dearth of genuinely upful, optimistic stuff. That was their appeal then, and it's their appeal now.
I notice nobody is clamouring for Blur to reform and tour. Why is that, do you think?

Cos they haven't split up, and already sold out Wembley twice last year perhaps?
Definitely sneery I'd say.
Well they did some gigs at Wembley etc last year so y'know.
Anyway, I did see Oasis in their heyday. I'm really not interested in seeing them this time (and I can only assume all the hype is because people in the media were into them back then too.
)

The whole Stone Roses thing was sneering - anyone could be an Oasis fan, in contrast.Definitely sneery I'd say.

As for Blur playing Wembley, this is the first I've heard of it - which only proves my point.

I think maybe a lot of people don't like Oasis because they're from up North. Sometimes you have to just face facts... we're better at music.

Yes. As I say, a mere energy thing. A way of being or something. I dare say it, they had a lot of the punk about them (runs for cover).
This is great.
