Oasis have confirmed the details of their 18-date UK arena tour.

The band will visit nine cities, including Sheffield, Birmingham, London, Bournemouth, Cardiff, Belfast and Aberdeen, on their autumn jaunt.

It kicks off at the Liverpool Echo Arena on October 7 and ends at Glasgow SECC on November 5.

Tickets for the shows go on sale on Wednesday, August 20 at 9am.

People who purchase tickets through the band's official website will be able to pre-order their new single 'The Shock Of The Lightning'.

Oasis release their seventh studio album Dig Out Your Soul on October 6.

Speaking to the BBC, Noel Gallagher claimed the group were deliberately avoiding playing the O2 Arena because it is "too corporate" and he didn't want to see the audience "eating nachos". The band's London date is at Wembley Arena.
