Oasis set list 2025: How long Oasis sets really last - as fans fume over '59 minute' reunion sets

That Oasis reunion has taken another sharp turn after the weekend - not over tickets this time, but instead the length of the sets taking place during their vaunted 2025 shows.

It comes after Liam Gallagher stated online that the run-time for the shows are set to be ‘59 minutes 59 seconds,’ whipping some Oasis fans online into a fury over what they feel is a short amount of time seeing the Britpop legends in action based on how much they’ve spent on tickets - or how long they’ve been wanting to see the band reunite for many years.

But do some of those fans have a point? How long is an Oasis set meant to last? In Gallagher’s post, there was no mention of any encores, of any buffers in the event of equipment changeovers or general chatter with the crowds.

So - on average, how long has an Oasis set been in the past? We’ve looked at three hallowed performances from the Gallagher's over time to try and find out if there is a ‘sweet spot’ in terms of how long they should play.

The science part

We took a look at Setlist.FM for some of Oasis’ most renowned live performances over time, omitting any festival slots due to curfews bands have on the length of their performance.

We took into account the run times of the songs in question that have been played based on their length from their respective albums, and accounted for a few minutes in between songs for changeovers and the odd bit of banter.
