Some might say they're more suited to a pipe and slippers these days. But I can reveal Oasis frontmen Liam and Noel Gallagher are planning a return to their cigarettes and alcohol heyday. I hear the lads have been in talks with AEG - the owners of the O2 - about a series of gigs later this year. And I'm told the dates at the Dome will pocket the Britpop boys a supersonic £15million. The gigs will follow a series of shows in Canada and the US in August marking the release of the seventh Oasis studio album - recently finished in Los Angeles. A band insider says: "The dates will be a real special event - and the first major rock residency at the O2. "There have been lots of pop acts there - the Spice Girls and Prince. And Led Zeppelin did one date. But no band has yet set up camp there for a whole run. "They are lining up 10 dates some time in the autumn at the Dome before taking on the rest of the world." Their London shows alone will net the band around a cool £1.5million a night. The shows will eclipse Liam and Noel Gallagher's legendary weekend at Knebworth in 1996 when they earned a staggering £6million playing to 250,000 fans. As yet no other UK shows have been announced, but I also hear they will be announcing a load more US dates. Superfans like me will remember the early years, when every trip to America turned into a nightmare - with Noel famously quitting one tour in 1994. Let's hope the older and wiser Gallaghers have put their warring ways behind them and finally bury the hatchet - just not in each other. Source: www.sundaymirror.co.uk

This just confirms to me how big this album is going to be, thats a long stint at a venue & they would have to have a break in between, there is no way liam could sing ten nights in a row unless he has stopped smoking & cut down on drinking & changed his stance. This is great news for me though as i could get to the 02 arena in around 15 minutes in a cab, the 02 isnt just a music venue, it has bars, restaurants, pubs, clubs, the lot. Great venue.

Yes, very interesting indeed! I guess we will find out soon enough, though.
I think the new album would be colossal, which have got me thinking, do any of you guys believe they could do some shows at Knebworth again?

Knebworth would be excellent again although i was too young to go back then! What did i say to people a while ago? This album could launch oasis into being the worlds biggest band again, they have it in them & this album could do it.
I cant fucking wait till august

Damn. O2 Arena holds 20,000.
10 Nights + 20,000 = 200,000 people. Shit, it will be amazing, and they'll sell out.

I really hope (but suspect) this doesn't mean they're going to eschew the stadiums on this tour and just do arenas.

10 nights at one venue would be a disaster, Liam would end up doing something ridiculous just due to the boredom. Like walking off and not coming back after 4 or 5 nights. Anyway, Noel said they're not doing it.
