The announcement that Britpop band Oasis are to play in Croke Park on August 16 and 17, 2025 has led to a rapid sell-out of hotel rooms in Dublin, with the remaining availability priced at over €500 for one night.

Reports indicate that 98pc of accommodations are already booked for the weekend of the concerts, underscoring the high demand and anticipation surrounding the Oasis reunion tour.

Taoiseach Simon Harris said he was excited about the Gallagher brothers’ reunion, highlighting the positive impact on music fans in Ireland and globally, as well as on the Irish economy but warned: “I would encourage everybody to engage fairly in relation to this. The issues around price gouging, around hiking up things at major events, doesn’t actually help anyone, because it ends up giving our city, our country a bad reputation. It is much more in the interest, I believe, of hoteliers and others to act responsibly in relation to this.”
