The new album is imminent, the controversial statements have no doubt been prepared and now Oasis have announced their tour details.
And Manchester's most famous sons are kicking off in big style. In, er, Liverpool. 'They are proud of their roots, but they dig Liverpool too and thought they would kick it off there,' a source explained to contactmusic.
Given the obvious influence of the Beatles on the bands music, perhaps it's not so surprising. The tour kicks off at the Echo Arena, Liverpool's new venue, on October 7 and then goes on for another 18 months.
Although, judging by previous Oasis tours, means that Liam will be walking out around October 14.
Tickets for the tour go on sale at 9am on August 20 via www.oasisinet.com or from the dedicated ticketline on 0844 412 4638.
