Fans are getting more and more excited as tickets for Oasis' massive reunion tour are set to go on sale with the official presale taking place tonight.
A time has now been issued for the presale, which will take place over three hours on Friday evening (30 August).
It comes after Liam and Noel Gallagher got the rock 'n' roll band back together earlier this week, some 15 years after last taking to the stage together.
Noel famously quit in 2009 ahead of a festival headline slot at Rock en Seine in Paris, with fans absolutely gutted at one of the most iconic rock 'n' roll bands of all time coming to an end.
And while the two brothers have enjoyed incredibly successful solo careers, the Gallaghers are now back as one with 17 huge concerts set to take place across Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin. An initial 14 had been confirmed by the band with three extra shows added as a result of the unprecedented demand seen during presale sign up.
Ticket prices have been released ahead of both the presale and general sale. Some fans are split over how much it could cost them to attend the gigs, with the prices certainly not cheap.
No time has been released for the presale as of yet, with those who have been successful in the ballot given access codes before 5pm, with a time now confirmed for when the presale will take place.
The presale ballot had to be extended due to a 'last minute surge' in people trying to get their entry in before the deadline, which was 10am today.

Good luck if you've got access to the Oasis presale.
If like me you missed out, see you all at 9.05am on Saturday morning hopefully with a ticket to our names.
Those who are waiting for Oasis presale access codes were told by tour organisers to expect them to come at any point before 5pm.
The band has now updated fans on when access codes will be sent out, and it's not good news if you're still waiting.
Those who have had an email guaranteeing their spot in the presale have been warned about preparing their Ticketmaster account in advance.
It concerns your Ticketmaster account, mobile number on the account, and ticket limits.
The email from the presale organisers reads: "You MUST have a Ticketmaster account registered with this email address (the one you used for the ticket ballot) and be signed in to access the presale.
"If you don't have a Ticketmaster account using this email address, create one now ahead of the presale.
"Make sure your details, especially your mobile number, are up to date, as a verification code will be sent to your phone when entering the presale queue.
"One through the queue, input your unique code to unlock tickets. Please note there is a ticket limit of your per code."
It is safe to say that those Oasis fans who are in the presale are buzzing, with some receiving multiple access codes from signing up to the ballot with numerous email addresses.
The time for the Oasis presale has been confirmed to those who have been successful in the ballot.
It will take place at 7pm and end at 10pm.
This is what the email will look like if you are successful:
There's no need to worry just yet if you haven't had an email with the final ones being sent by 5pm.
Yep, we're on about the age old argument of 'we liked them first'.
Given the anticipation surrounding Oasis' reunion, we're not shocked it has entered the fight for tickets ahead of the general release on Saturday morning.
Even with 17 dates and more than one million tickets set to be released, millions more will go empty handed if demanded is expected to be as big as reports suggest.
It has seen many older Oasis fans on social media hit out at younger fans, with one saying: "Imagine waiting 15 years for Oasis to reform only to lose out on tickets to Chloe, 21 from Stockport, who just wants to hear Wonderwall live."
"Over 30s need to get an advantage," a second posted on X (Twitter).
But Gen Z folk have hit back at those older fans, telling them to 'stop crying'.
Booking.com has issued a statement after social media was flooded this week with people reporting their hotels being cancelled for Oasis concert dates.
Rooms at some venues were then re-listed for higher prices than originally paid, leading to questions over exactly what was going on.
Others also shared screenshots of hotel prices from before and after the Oasis gig dates were confirmed, with the surge in prices astronomical.

The vast majority of people who applied for the presale will be unsuccessful given just how many rumoured ballot applications there have been.
Those who are lucky enough to get access - which the band has stressed doesn't guarantee you a ticket - will find out before 5pm.
For everyone else, it'll be time to roll the sleeves up ahead of Saturday morning's general sale. UK tickets will be released at 9am, while Dublin's will go on sale at 8am.
Ticketmaster will be the seller of choice for millions looking to get tickets. And if that includes you, you might want to check out this nifty hack to beat the queues.
The chance to confirm your spot in the Oasis presale ballot for the UK and Ireland tour dates has now ended.
10am was the cut off point by which those who had entered the ballot had to confirm their spot via email.
A random draw will now take place to give fans access codes to the presale itself. Those who are successful will get their codes by 5pm today.
The presale is set to take place in the hours after this. No official time has been given at this stage.
Ticket prices for the Oasis 2025 tour of the UK and Ireland were released on Thursday.
And unless you're going to the gigs in Dublin, get ready to pay at least £150 per person for the privilege of standing up at the reunion concerts. Going seated starts at £73 and goes up to £206, depending on where you are.
See Tickets released the prices for general admission - both standing and seated - alongside hospitality and fan packages.
A full breakdown of all Oasis ticket prices can be found here.
Oasis tickets will go on general sale at 9am on Saturday (31 August). The Dublin dates will go on sale an hour earlier.
The Manchester band will start their 2025 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium before moving on to Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium, and Dublin's Croke Park.

Despite tickets not being available to buy yet, almost 200 of them have been listed for resale on one website.
And the prices are astronomical, ranging between £450 and £1,659.
It has lead to further confusion, given that some tickets for Manchester's Heaton Park are listed as 'seated' and 'upper tier'. Bit of a problem, given Heaton Park is a field.
Those who have applied to the Oasis presale ballot should find out if they're in it by 5pm.
The deadline to get your application in is 10am.
