The studio album, the only one to feature all five original Oasis members including brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuigan and Tony McCarroll, released in 1994 and was a massive success, certifying platinum in the U.S. and U.K. and selling 8.5 million copies worldwide. It featured the tracks “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star,” “Shakermaker,” “Live Forever,” “Up in the Sky,” “Columbia,” “Supersonic,” “Bring It On Down,” “Cigarettes & Alcohol,” “Digsy’s Dinner,” “Slide Away” and “Married with Children.”
The Gallagher brothers parted acrimoniously in 2009.
The tour will kick off at Sheffield on June 1, 2024 and will have play dates at London, Manchester, Cardiff, Glasgow and Dublin.
Liam Gallagher’s representatives said: “It would be hard to top Liam Gallagher’s biblical Knebworth Park shows, which proved to be some of the biggest live events of 2022. But the always ambitious icon has once again excelled himself with news of a tour that will be bigger than biblical. Liam will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of Oasis’s all-conquering and massively influential debut album by embarking upon the ‘Definitely Maybe 30 Years’ arena tour in 2024. The tour will see Liam perform the ‘Definitely Maybe’ album in full for the first time, along with some select b-sides from the era. The sets will of course be packed with classics – ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Star’, ‘Live Forever’, ‘Supersonic’ and ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’, to name but a few. But it will also be a rare opportunity to see other album tracks that have rarely, if ever, been performed since the mid-‘90s, including ‘Up In The Sky’ and ‘Digsy’s Dinner.’”
Tickets go on sale Oct. 20.
