OASIS has emerged as the biggest crowd-puller of 2025, selling more tickets than Beyoncé, according to the latest figures from Pollstar’s Year End Business Analysis. While Beyoncé’s tour edged out the Gallagher brothers in total revenue—$407 million compared to OASIS’ $405 million—the Manchester rockers drew in more fans overall.
The data shows OASIS performed for 2,228,471 people across 36 shows, surpassing Beyoncé’s 1,596,165 attendees at 32 concerts. That’s a difference of 630,000 tickets, highlighting the enduring appeal of the band that dominated the ’90s Britpop scene.
The year’s top-grossing live acts also included COLDPLAY, Lady Gaga, Post Malone, and The Weeknd, demonstrating the continued strength of large-scale tours in the post-pandemic live music market.
Speculation quickly mounted about a potential continuation of the reunion in 2026, with rumors swirling about a possible residency at Knebworth Park—the site of their legendary two-night stand in August 1996. Hopes were fueled further by Liam Gallagher’s onstage comments at the end of several 2025 shows, teasing fans with, “See you next year.”
However, those expectations were dashed when Liam addressed the rumors on X, stating plainly: “It’s not happening.” In a follow-up post, he confirmed, “We’re not doing anything in 2026 sorry,” adding in reply to another fan, “Nothing going on next year except the World Cup.”
