Industry figures show Oasis earned £303 million from their comeback tour, with £8.4m per show making them 2025’s second-highest earners globally
Oasis banked over a whopping £300m from their comeback tour – new official figures show. Liam and Noel Gallagher were quids in from their 36 shows across the world – thanks to a mammoth £303,499,672.16 pay packet.
Oasis sold 2,228,471 tickets during their critically acclaimed return to the stage. It is the biggest tour of the year by a UK act.
Their nightly revenue was a staggering £8,430,546.47. That figure doesn’t include earnings from sponsorships and merchandising, which is likely to push that balance to a likely £10m pay out per show.
The figures come after countless fans complained that when tickets for the tour went on sale last year they were waiting for hours in online queues, and faced much higher prices than those initially advertised. Some tickets soared from £148 to £355 after going on sale. It prompted an investigation into ticket pricing with Oasis speaking out to say they didn’t agree with this practice known as ‘dynamic pricing.’
Only Beyonce beat the Manchester duo’s Oasis Live 25 in the official chart for the biggest tour acts of 2025.
Incredibly the Wonderwall stars played to over 61,000 people per show on average, who shelled out around £136.18 for a ticket.
The UK Britpop pioneers, who had never really cracked the US during their heyday, delivered shows which beat out many of the biggest live acts on the planet, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Kendrick Lamar, Shakira and Post Malone had to settle for lower spots on the top 10 tour acts of 2025.
American leading music analytics firm Pollstar has produced a chart outlining the amazing earning power for the most popular touring artists.
Beyonce was just a couple of million quid ahead of Noel and Liam as her grand total was £305,125,368.59. American fans came out in force for Oasis with huge earnings of £92.8m ($124m). Nine gigs alone saw door takings of over £10m quid ($13,780, 472) per night.
US audiences splashed much higher amounts than Europeans by ticket price £179.56 ($239.87). They shifted over a half million tickets ( 517,044 sales) across the pond.
Incredibly their nine nights earned them ninth spot in the North American tour revenue list too. Devon rockers and Oasis’s nemesis Coldplay were in third spot with hefty earnings of £292,316,214.41. Both acts enjoyed residencies at Wembley Stadium this summer. However the Chris Martin led rock act performed 14 more shows (50) to earn those revenues.
Los Angeles rapper Kendrick Lamar and Sza ’s double headliner tour, Shakira’s global run and The Weeknd came in after them in the chart. Las Vegas rock pop outfit Imagine Dragons were at position eight followed closely by Lady Gaga’s critically acclaimed Monster’s Ball tour was a mammoth smash.
Post Malone held up the top 10 with a take home of around £148m – which is less than half of Oasis. Jeff Kelly of US entertainment firm PRrppd (corr) said: “Oasis had a barnstorming 2025 not just delivering pop culture live moments, but also bringing a wave of joy to audiences worldwide. The reunion of the two feuding brothers was a very powerful experience for audiences
“Their music may date back 30 years but it remains beloved. And this combination was part of the band’s huge success. In truth if they had extended their tour and played another single stadium show they would have toppled Beyonce.”
Arthur Fogel, Live Nation’s Chairman Of Global Music and President of Global Touring, reflected on the emotional power of Oasis’ success. “It was Cardiff. I was stunned to be honest. The outpouring, the emotion, you could cut it with a knife. People were crying. It was insane.
“Grown men with a beer in each hand and tears running down their face. It was that kind of moment, you know after all fifteen years….it’s hard to put into words.”
Oasis started their tour in Wales in July and finished in Brazil in November. Last week British rock act Coldplay were crowned the highest selling tour act of the Millennium. Chris Martin and his band has shifted almost 25m ticket sales since 2000 with tours and live gigs. Those figures emerged from Pollstar’s 25 Most Popular Touring Artists of the Millennium chart.
