Oasis make their long-awaited return to London this weekend (Friday 25th and Saturday 26th July) with the first of seven shows at Wembley Stadium.

It's not the first time that the legendary Manchester band have played the iconic venue - they appeared at the "old" Wembley Stadium for two shows in July 2000, as part of the Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants. The first night was recorded and released as the Familiar To Millions album, but both Liam and Noel Gallagher aren't fond of that particular chapter in the career of Oasis.

The Gallaghers then returned for a run of three nights in 2009: 9th, 11th and 12th July. This was under the brand new "Wembley Arch", which was part of the five-year-long reconstruction of the stadium, which finally opened on 19th May 2007 - just in time for the FA Cup Final.

The three Wembley shows were a major part of the summer leg of the Dig Out Your Soul tour, which had already stopped off at Sunderland's City Of Light Stadium, Cardiff's Millennium Stadium (the scene of their long-awaited return in July 2025), Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and both Werchter and Roskilde festivals.

The tour was due to end in August 2009 with some European festival dates, but matters came to head backstage at V Festival in Chelmsford on the 23rd of that month and the rest of the tour was cancelled...
