Oasis’s 1994 debut and eight-times platinum album ‘Definitely Maybe’ has become a defining work of the Britpop era. Thirty years on, Liam Gallagher has announced a tour to celebrate the album's anniversary. Oasis fans waiting on a reunion, don’t get your hopes up. There are no signs of any bad blood being put aside for the occasion – it’s extremely unlikely that Noel will be joining.
Nevertheless, it will be a very exciting opportunity for fans to hear songs that have rarely, if ever, been performed live since the mid-nineties. Plus, Liam could be joined by other Oasis co-founder Paul Arthurs (aka Bonehead). To add to the anticipation, the tour includes three nights at the huge, yet-to-open Co-op Live Arena in Liam’s hometown of Manchester. Here are all the important deets.
When is Liam Gallagher going on a UK tour in 2024?

Fans will be able to try for tickets from 9am on Friday, October 20. They’ll be available on Ticketmaster and other ticketing platforms.
How can I register for tickets?
You don’t need to register for general sale tickets – just make sure you’re online and ready to press ‘buy’ on release day. If it’s presale tickets you’re after, you may have to register for priority access to whatever venue you’re hoping to attend. More info on that below!
How much do tickets cost for Liam Gallagher’s tour?
The cost will change according to each venue, but tend to be ranging from around £50 to £110, including booking fees.
On See Tickets, prices for Sheffield’s Utilita Arena start at £52.45 for seated tickets and £85.45 for standing tickets. Prices for London’s O2 Arena, seats start from £53.50 and from £86.50 for standing.
Is there presale for the Definitely Maybe tour?
Different venues announced their own pre-sales, with all presales having taken place this morning (October 18).
For the dates in Glasgow, customers of OVO or SSE Energy Services could access early ticket sales at 9am, while Manchester fans were able to gain access after downloading the Co-op Live app and becoming a member. Irish fans had to be Three+ members, while those hoping to get pre-sale tickets for London must have signed up to O2 Priority.
It’s worth noting, however, that presale saw unprecedented levels of demand. Co-op Live tweeted that presale tickets had completely run out just 20 minutes after they went on sale, while O2 Priority tickets reportedly also sold out quickly.
If you missed out on presale, best of luck in trying for tickets on 9am on Friday!
