The Gallagher brothers could "make more money from these gigs than they did in the entire '90s," says one music business journalist of next year's much-anticipated Oasis reunion. With 14 tour dates currently planned, one estimate has ticket sales at more than $500 million, and figures each brother could earn a cool $65 million or more, the Guardian reports. That's a big change from 1995, when tickets to an Oasis show cost less than 20 bucks each in the UK. As far as which brother has fared better since the band split, Distractify reports Noel Gallagher is worth significantly more (estimate: $70 million) thanks to his successful solo career. Liam Gallagher's estimated net worth is just $6 million, but a pricey divorce is partially to blame for why it's not higher.

The band is indeed getting back together, after 15 years no less. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher—after much teasing—announced Tuesday that Oasis will play shows in the UK and Ireland next summer, reports NBC News. The schedule for what is being billed as the Oasis Live 25 tour is here. "The guns have fallen silent," the statement reads, a reference to the brothers' famously cantankerous relationship. "The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised." Need a refresher? Variety ranks their top 10 songs, beginning with "Champagne Supernova."
