Oasis fans will soon have a lot to celebrate as reports suggest brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are putting their differences aside, getting the band back together, and hitting the road.
The iconic Britpop band existed from 1991 until 2009 - breaking up when 55-year-old Noel and 50-year-old Liam dramatically fell out and decided to walk away from each other.
But now, after 14 years, the lads are said to be preparing to get back together for a string of headline dates at the iconic Knebworth House estate.
The band last performed there back in 1996 when they broke records at the time by performing to 250,000 fans over two nights.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: “It’s very early days for the plan, and the proposed dates are a long way off. But if all members agree to do it, history will be made.

"Tickets would sell like hot cakes and fans would rejoice in seeing the band together again.
“It would be the perfect way for Oasis to come back together again and wouldn’t involve a tiresome touring schedule.”
The proposed dates are said to be in 2025 - which may seem far off, but will accommodate the fact both Liam and Noel are releasing solo material.

While Noel is due to release a new album with his band, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, titled Council Skies in June.
Back in April, Noel told reporters that he did not expect Oasis to reunite any time soon - dismissing suggestions the team would reform to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Definitely Maybe, which was released in 1994.

Liam recently hinted he will have a new solo album soon too (Getty Images)He said: “In the Sony archives we’ve found tapes dating to those sessions. We thought they were lost, but they were mislabelled. They are wonderful versions of those songs, some acoustic versions.”
And while he said these ‘lost’ tapes would be released, he added: “There won’t be a tour, we won’t come back to play them together.”
However, last week chart rivals Blur announced they are reforming and frontman Damon Albarn says it’s only a matter of time before Oasis follow their lead.

While it was also reported that the star - who also fronts the alt-rock band Gorrilaz - had placed a bet that Oasis would reform, saying: "I can guarantee they're going to reform. In fact, I've put money on it."
