Oasis @ 8/11 To Complete The Entire Oasis Live Tour

Can the Gallagher brothers keep it together? That's the question on everyone’s mind as Oasis embarks on their highly anticipated reunion tour. While many fans worry that it’s only a matter of time before Liam and Noel fall back into their old habits, the odds of 8/11 suggest it’s more likely than not that the band will complete the entire tour. With the brothers seemingly determined to make this comeback a success, and with the significance of this tour in reviving the Oasis legacy, it’s reasonable to believe they’ll push through any tensions to give fans the full experience they’ve been waiting for.

Blossoms @ 1/2 To Support On Any Date

Priced at 1/2, Blossoms are currently the bookmakers favourite ' to join the Gallagher brothers on their highly anticipated tour next year. The Stockport band hinted at their involvement during their Wythenshawe Park gig, where they displayed the reunion details on the big screens the night before the news broke. This move left many fans convinced that Blossoms are set to join Oasis on tour. Blossoms have been steadily rising in the indie music scene, quickly becoming a household name among indie music fans. A gig of this scale would undoubtedly be a career-defining moment, potentially paving the way for future stadium successes of their own.

Other bands that might join Blossoms on the lineup include The Slow Readers Club and The Black Keys, both priced at 1/1. Additionally, Liam Gallagher's son, Gene Gallagher, could be following in his father's footsteps, with his band Villanelle priced at 5/4 to support on at least one of the tour dates. Fan favourites have also made the list, with Johnny Marr priced at 13/8, Kasabian at 7/4, Richard Ashcroft at 2/1, and Paul Heaton at 3/1.

And in a surprising twist, even Blur has made it onto the list of bookmakers' favourites. While their odds are a less likely 33/1, the possibility isn't entirely off the table!

Croke Park Specials - Inhaler @ 6/4 To Support

Fontaines DC and Inhaler are two Dublin-based bands that have rapidly risen to fame in recent years. As they continue their streak of success, they have emerged as strong contenders to support the Gallagher brothers at their Croke Park dates in 2025. Priced at 6/4, Inhaler currently sits as Betfred’s favourites to make an appearance at the Croke Park date. The Irish four-piece seem to have an advantage, given their close relationship with Noel’s daughter Anais, while Fontaines DC closely follow, priced at 100/30 to appear on the line-up as they appear to already become a fan favourite as they continue to feature on mock-up posters.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Star @ 9/4 To Be 1st Song Oasis Will Play On Their Official Return

All eyes are on which iconic track will mark their official comeback. "Rock ‘n’ Roll Star" is the frontrunner, with odds of 9/4 suggesting it will be the first song the band plays when they hit the stage again. This track’s explosive energy and classic appeal make it a natural choice to reignite the band's legacy. However, several other contenders are also in the mix: "Hello" stands at 3/1, while "Go Let It Out," "Be Here Now," and "Cigarettes & Alcohol" each have odds of 4/1 and 8/1, respectively. "Roll With It" is another strong possibility at 8/1, alongside "Half The World Away" at 10/1, and "Acquiesce" trailing at 12/1. With such a rich catalogue of hits, any choice will surely be met with enthusiastic approval from fans eager to celebrate Oasis’s return.

Oasis To Have The 2024 Christmas Number One @ 8/1

Since announcing their comeback earlier this week, Oasis streams have nearly quadrupled, sparking speculation about their potential to dominate the charts. With odds of 8/1, Oasis is a strong contender to secure the 2024 Christmas Number One—a career first for the band. The surge in streaming numbers underscores their enduring popularity and the excitement surrounding their return.

Oasis has come close to the sought-after Christmas Number One before. In 1994, their single "Whatever" peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart during the holiday season but fell short of the top spot, which was claimed by East 17's "Stay Another Day." Despite their success, they have never quite managed to secure the Christmas Number One, making this year's comeback a potential breakthrough moment.

To Release A New Album In 2025 @ 4/1

Is more music on the horizon for Oasis? Fans are left wondering if new material will follow their highly anticipated return. With odds of 4/1 for a new album in 2025, it suggests that while a new album is a possibility, it’s not highly likely at the moment. For now, the band appear to have their focus on their tour and reigniting their iconic legacy. While the idea of fresh music is exciting, fans may need to manage their expectations.
