Cheap hotel rooms appeared to have already disappeared from travel sites in the cities where the band is set to play next year

“The Oasis tour is likely to join the likes of Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and Beyonce in delivering record-setting shows in recent years,” said Kate Nicholls, Chief Executive of trade body UKHospitality.

Oasis, one of the 1990s rock bands that defined Britpop who became responsible for a generation of haircuts, fashion and swagger, have remained hugely popular, with Spotify saying they still have 21 million monthly listeners. The concerts could also prompt a generational divide, with life-long Oasis fans vying for tickets with younger fans who only know a few songs.

Whitbread, whose Premier Inn hotel chains are close to the British venues, is already seeing strong demand across all the planned dates and locations, it said.
