Making a Profit from the Oasis Reunion: Investment Opportunities in Tour Tickets and Collectibles

In the world of music, few bands have left as lasting an impact as Oasis. And it seems that the interest in the iconic British rock band is far from over.

Original Oasis t-shirts, hoodies, and CDs are currently selling for around £500 on various online platforms, reflecting the enduring appeal of the band. But it's not just the merchandise that's attracting attention – musical instruments used by the band members are also commanding high prices.

Noel Gallagher's Epiphone EA-250 Guitar, which he played on stage and owned, is estimated to be worth between £20,000 to £30,000. A 1980 Gibson Flying V Guitar, previously owned by The Smith's Johnny Marr and used by Noel Gallagher in the recording of Oasis' 1994 track "Cigarettes and Alcohol," is expected to attract a similar price range.

Sotheby's popular culture auction this month features three guitars used by Noel Gallagher on stage and in the recording of Oasis' debut album Definitely Maybe, as well as an Epiphone Les Paul Standard featured in both the music video and iconic cover artwork of Oasis' debut single "Supersonic." This guitar is expected to fetch between £60,000 to £80,000.

The resurgence of interest in Oasis memorabilia could potentially yield significant profits for owners of such items. They can sell their items privately on platforms like eBay or at auction houses, or even receive instant money from pawnbrokers willing to purchase their Oasis memorabilia.

The success of the band is also benefiting the wider economy. Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has boosted the UK economy by a significant amount, with estimates suggesting a £1 billion boost during her tour. Similarly, the Oasis reunion tour is expected to boost the UK economy by a similar amount.

Retailers selling music merchandise, such as Hot Topic and Amazon, should expect rising Oasis-related sales. Music publishers and record labels owning rights to Oasis' songs, such as Sony and Universal Music Group, may also receive a revenue boost from surging sales and streams.

Investment opportunities exist for those who can find the top stocks that will benefit from the Oasis tour. Whitbread, the owner of Premier Inn, is likely to benefit from the upcoming Oasis tour due to its strategically located hotels.

The Oasis reunion tour is officially ongoing in the UK in 2024 and continuing through 2025 with multiple dates in the UK, North America, Mexico, Asia, and South America. Rumors of a European leg including a show in Frankfurt on June 12, 2026, and possibly Paris and other cities are circulating, but no official confirmation or ticket sales exist yet for these 2026 European dates.

Old and new Oasis fans may increase subscriptions and listening hours on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Analysts suggest watching for announcements of exclusive streaming rights or special Oasis-themed features.

In conclusion, the resurgence of interest in Oasis is providing opportunities for fans and investors alike. Whether it's selling memorabilia, investing in stocks, or simply enjoying the music, there's never been a better time to be an Oasis fan.
