Nearly 15 years to the day they broke up, the Gallagher brothers announced they are reuniting their band Oasis for a series of concerts next year in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

“The guns have fallen silent," Oasis posted on its website, a reference to earlier tensions between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. "The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”

The Gallaghers said they will play 14 dates in July and August in the U.K. and Ireland next year and will venture to other continents later in the year.

Tickets will go on sale this Saturday at 9 a.m. British time, and 8 a.m. Irish Standard Time, the band said.

Oasis broke up on Aug. 28, 2009, though the Gallagher brothers had a tumultuous relationship for decades. Their relationship has been marred by physical and legal fights, verbal altercations and their frequent and sudden resignations from the band.
