Bucket hat, check. Parka, check. Tour T-shirt and beer coozie, check and check. If you’ve already hoovered up all the Oasis merch there is, don’t worry, Liam and Noel Gallagher have more for you. In celebration of the band’s first tour in 16 years, Opus has announced the upcoming release of the oversized coffee table book Oasis Live ’25 OPUS, a 400-page collection of photos taken by photographer Simon Emmett.

From Emmett’s first iconic shot of the formerly battling brothers standing side-by-side that was used to announce the tour, to now-familiar images of them holding each other’s hands up in triumph, the collection is the ultimate keepsake from the outing that has thrilled fans around the world this summer.
“Being chosen to photograph the top-secret Oasis reunion portraits was a real honour,” said Emmett in a statement. “As the only photographer to document it from the very start through to the end of the tour, it’s been a truly unique and privileged experience and insight. The extraordinary mania and positivity has been intoxicating. Much more than a band reunion, it’s been a real cultural movement.”
A Limited Marquee edition will be limited to only 100 copies around the world. The 24″ by 17″ inch, 400-page book will be printed in “ultra-high-definition on luxury heavyweight 200gsm silk paper and then hand-bound by master binders” in a “silk covered clamshell case.” Three other editions that will be made in an unlimited number, including the “Midi” and “Retail” editions that will allow fans around the world to experience the magic again; the Marquee and Midi editions will also include a special certification “tombstone,” which houses a commemorative ticket encased in acrylic. More details about the various editions will be announced soon, with fans encouraged to pre-register here.
The book will follow the band from their kick-off dates in the U.K. in July to their summer North American swing. A release date for the Opus tome has not yet been announced. In addition, a reunion tour film produced by Peaky Blinders director Steven Knight and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace (Shut Up and Play the Hits) is in the works.
The Live ’25 tour will resume on Oct. 21 with a show at Goyang Stadium in South Korea, followed by gigs in Japan, Australia, Argentina and Chile before winding down on Nov. 22 and 23 at MorumBIS in São Paulo, Brazil. After wrapping the U.K. and Ireland leg of the tour over the weekend, Liam Gallagher appeared to tease additional shows next year.
Though none have been announced yet, at Saturday’s show, Gallagher thanked the crowd for “keeping the faith” before teasing that he would “see you next year.”
