Oasis Add Three Dates to Reunion Tour Due to ‘Unprecedented Demand’
Oasis have announced three additional shows as part of their highly-anticipated 2025 reunion tour. The concerts include Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium.
The Oasis reunion tour is so much bigger than a brotherly feud
In this digital age, which reinforces binaries, promotes reductiveness and collapses conversations, we need a band like Oasis that contains elements that are seemingly contradictory. The band is grungy and nihilistic (with songs like “Cigarettes and Alcohol”), yet hopeful (“Live Forever,” “Wonderwall”). In some ways it feels static, almost anachronistic, in the way it embodies ’90s Britpop. Picture Liam Gallagher with his hallmark stance onstage, in which he barely moves and clasps his hands behind his back. In other ways Oasis is so dynamic. Sonically, the band’s dynamism can be heard within songs (the rich layers) and between songs (from rock songs with punk bents to soft acoustic ballads). It is in its ability to contain contradictions that Oasis offers us some much-needed humanity, nuance and complexity. We are not one thing. We contain ranges, paradoxes, contradictions, multitudes. This is what it is to be human.

Amandla Stenberg Says The Acolyte Cancellation Followed ‘Rampage’ of ‘Hyper-Conservative Bigotry’
“There has been a rampage of vitriol that we have faced since the show was even announced, when it was still just a concept and no one had even seen it,” the Black queer actress said. “That’s when we started experiencing a rampage of, I would say, hyper-conservative bigotry and vitriol, prejudice, hatred and hateful language towards us.”
Once-Popular Beers That Sadly Disappeared
Today’s American beer industry is the result of industry maneuvering and innovation that began in the 1800s. As you can’t store an opened beer in the fridge for long, beer brands don’t last forever either. Countless varieties have come and gone, from hops-infused ales to subtle lagers to bold and heavy craft beers. Through it all, collective tastes change, and businesses are bought and sold or fall apart completely. This results in even acclaimed, widely liked, and important beers ending production. Some beers that were enjoyed for generations and which reached iconic status simply aren’t made anymore. Along with the discontinued canned foods we miss the most are the canceled frothy alcoholic beverages, the famous beers of yesteryear that disappeared.
