Oasis reunion: Taoiseach Simon Harris urges Dublin hotels not to rub it in for August 2025 concert dates

Tens of thousands of fans will be bracing themselves to snap up the coveted tickets, which go on sale on Saturday at 8am.

Oasis split nearly 15 years ago and released their chart-topping album Definitely Maybe three decades ago. The Britpop band will perform at Croke Park on August 16 and 17, 2025.

Within minutes of the band confirming the Oasis Live ’25 tour, hotel rooms in the city were selling out, with the remaining availability costing more than €500 for one night.

Taoiseach Simon Harris, who admitted he favours Oasis over Blur, said: “The decision of the Gallagher brothers to get back together will come as great news to many music fans in Ireland and across the world.

“The fact that they’ve chosen to play two major gigs in Croke Park is great news again for music fans, but also great news for the Irish economy.”

Asked about rising hotel prices in the capital for t he dates around the gigs, Mr Harris said: “I would encourage everybody to engage fairly in relation to this.

“The issues around price gouging, around hiking up things at major events, doesn’t actually help anyone, because it ends up giving our city, our country a bad reputation.

“It is much more in the interest, I believe, of hoteliers and others to act responsibly in relation to this.
