Interest in Oasis' owned and used instruments is increasing, with Noel Gallagher’s Original Gibson ES355 recently commanding over £250,000 at auction. The band's recently announced reunion also means interest is at an all-time high.

The listing states: 'The Epiphone Riviera is an iconic model which was favoured by Noel Gallagher who has owned several examples in various configurations over the years choosing them to feature on iconic videos such as "Don’t Look Back in Anger", "Morning Glory", "Roll With It", "Shakermaker", as well as live performances including "Live By the Sea", "Earls Court 1995" and "Glastonbury 1995.”

It comes as the iconic Britpop band today announced three new UK dates to their reunion tour after receiving 'unprecendented' demand from fans. 

The additional dates will mean Oasis will be playing a total of 17 gigs in the UK and Ireland next year, with the band's tour set to be the fastest selling in UK history.

The extra shows are at Heaton Park on July 16, Wembley Stadium on July 30 and Edinburgh on August 12. In total, there will be five shows at Wembley Stadium.

The band made the announcement on their X account just after 8am today.

According to the bookies, Kasabian is the most likely contender to be opening the highly-anticipated shows.

Experts at William Hill are suggesting odds of 7/4 of the band to support Oasis on any night of their tour.

Spokesperson Lee Phelps told The Sun: 'News of Oasis' reunion tour has sent fans into a frenzy of speculation and there's lots that's still unknown about next summer's gigs, including who will be the support acts and the finalised Oasis lineup.

'Kasabian have always had a strong relationship with Oasis and, at 7/4, we think the Leicester band are likely to support at some point during the tour.'

Kasabian, consisting of Sergio Pizzorno, Chris Edwards, Ian Matthews, and Tim Carter, were formed in Leicester in 1997 and are known for songs Fire and Club Foot.

Back in June, they were one of the surprise bands who took to the stage at Glastonbury Festival.

Another source told the publication: 'Talks are ongoing with groups like Fontaines DC and Kasabian, as well as Gene Gallagher's band Villanelle who opened for Liam's Definitely Maybe tour.'

The speculation came after Oasis broke their silence over rumours they would be playing at Glastonbury next summer to confirm they will not be at the festival.

Speculation was rife Liam and Noel Gallagher would be returning to Worthy Farm in 2025 ahead of their comeback tour.

But in a statement posted on the band's X account just after lunchtime yesterday, they ruled out appearing at Glastonbury or any other festival.

Oasis said the only way to see the band in 2025 was by attending one of their shows during their world tour.
