Bittersweet... I'm really happy that they're obviously talking again (although Joey and Johnny Ramone were in the same band without talking but, usually that doesn't happen). But, as I guessed in an earlier post, it's just a small UK tour. So, for us outside the UK, it remains a "let's see where it goes" situation. But I'm happy for people in the UK, I hope every Brit from this forum can score a ticket! Also, that picture does seem photoshopped, which is a shame. I would have liked to have a picture where they feel like they're together in the same room... baby steps I guess... Scarf gate... They are in the same room

It's two people standing together shot against a backdrop. It is you creating in your head that it "looks photoshopped". I doubt anyone thought they had too have a newspaper with todays date on it and be sitting on each others shoulders for having a photo taken that people wouldn't have conspiracy theories about. If you need further evidence of the two having been in the same room (lol) just have the video on endless repeat The thoughts I have about things are created in my head, yes. Well done. Others seem to have had the same thought on this topic so seemingly I'm not alone. That picture didn't come out of the camera like that, by the way. It's been edited. For some stylistic purposes which is totally fine. I just think the style choice is strange in the circumstances. No one is talking about a 'conspiracy' besides you. If they had photoshopped the picture, that would have been fine (imo) also as it's just a pic for the day of the announcement. It's not like they haven't done it before (the heathen chemistry era floating head pic quickly comes to mind). Ofc it didn't "come out of the camera like that". What has editing to do with anything (whether it's Lightroom or whatever). What strange is having such opinions about artistic choices -- how they "have to do it". They use a photo that fits with the stark black and white nature of the graphic design for the tour, and the classic logo. Nothing strange about it. Here is how the photo (or two photos, if the switched heads for some reason or whatever) (most likely) came out of the camera: They are both present in these photographs by the way.

Maybe a bit off-topic, but when exactly did it start to go really wrong during that tour? I saw them in November 2008 and thought then that they were far better than during the DBTT tour. But maybe I didn't catch the nuances. I also remember that the hype in here was quite big in the summer (?) of 2009 when they added My Big Mouth to the setlist. Before they left really. Their first falling out was during the recording of the album, so set the tone from there and it got worse. Was only really the last few months where it got really bad but don't think that whole period was fun for anyone. I always thought Noel getting attacked in Canada won't have helped either. In his victim statement he said he was in chronic pain throughout the tour after breaking his ribs. Being in pain would make you more irritable and less tolerant of Liam's shit which would tie in with Liam's claim of 'we had an argument but we've had bigger ones before, Noel was the one who changed'

In regards to the different times, is that not just because of BST meaning UK is hour ahead of EU? Therefore 8am in Dublin and 9am in London ar in fact the same time? Dublin and London are both BST. We’re the same time as the U.K. and not mainland Europe.

I dunno but that's gonna be madness. How many people from England are gonna be going for the Dublin tickets an hour early, with the thought of just going to that gig because you can travel to Dublin cheaper than London sometimes.....orrrr they'll get a Dublin ticket, then flog it for a fortune if they get tickets for England. There must be a good reason that they've thought about that I haven't, otherwise it's gonna be worse chaos than it already would be and lots of Irish people are gonna get shafted Anyone who thinks Dublin is cheaper than London needs their head checked. All hotels are already sold out or rooms are at eye watering prices. Food in Dublin is no cheaper than London and you’ve got the added air fare tickets. Summer from Dublin to London isn’t the cheapest at the best of times, and there’s two less daily flights from Dub - Heathrow next year too. You’d be wasting your time trying to get Dublin tickets if you’re in the U.K. I'm fully aware how expensive Dublin is, I lived there. You missed the point. It's not about expense. It's about people's desperation to see Oasis. If they can try to get tickets an hour earlier...They will. It's not like Dublin isn't flooded with English people visiting every week is it? You think loads wouldn't travel there for an Oasis gig because a pint of Guinness and an Irish stew is a bit pricey around Temple Bar? Come on.

People will be thinking "I'll see if I can get tickets and worry about accommodation after that" - it's gonna make it even harder for us Irish to get tickets, and that's gonna be an impossibility as it is I'm already dreading Saturday morning

Thousands and thousand are gonna take this approach, I've no doubt. Besides, it's a happening, there's much worse places to travel to for a piss up and Oasis gig than Dublin.

There's a picture doing the rounds of an old picture of them both. Think the new one on the poster is meant to replicate the older one.
Can't find it now though

Werent Liams DM shows really hard getting tickets to? I really struggled, I got 4th night London because they added it, the first 3 nights sold out instantly. My dad got first night London without too many problems though. I guess it depends on your approach and kind of luck of the draw. I do wonder if ticket prices might put some people off though, especially if they introduce a golden circle. Normally you just get their earlier, but it's something that's been imported from the States.

I think everything is arranged in such a way that all of this remains a secret until the very last day. Until a few hours ago, no one was 100% sure that this was happening. You schedule a few UK dates with trusted people: you don’t schedule a concert in Bulgaria where some Bulgarian would immediately brag that Oasis is coming to Bulgaria. You schedule a photoshoot with a trusted photographer, making a video involves a bunch of people - makeup artists, lighting technicians, sound engineers, editors... This is the first day of reunion, relax, we will get more photos, videos, dates... Yeah that's a fair point. Maybe it was just too difficult to get them in a room together because of the secrecy. Christ, they were 110% in the same room together! Have you not seen the raw images doing the rounds of them together at the same shoot?? Have you not seen the photographer express his gratitude at having the privilege at being hired to do the shoot? These images are modified to fit our tiny phone screens (e.g. whitewash the background to make clearer, move the brothers closer to one another to fit a thumbnail) but that's the only doctoring done.
