Plans for concerts outside of Europe are currently underway too.Eagle-eyed fans soon noticed that Oasis’ UK and Ireland leg is scheduled to kick off just five days after Glastonbury 2025 ends – meaning the Gallaghers are currently free to top the Pyramid Stage.However, yesterday’s tour announcement said the confirmed dates “will be the band’s exclusive European appearances”.
