'It should be illegal' - Oasis tour news prompts skyrocketing hotel prices across Dublin

Hotel prices across Dublin are soaring following the announcement that Mancunian legends Oasis are reuniting for two massive shows at Croke Park, their first in 15 years.

The band have sent fans into a frenzy as they announced they are set to reunite for the first time since 2009 with a brand new tour. Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher confirmed their Oasis reunion this morning, with 14 dates across the UK and Ireland next year.

The legendary duo will perform with the band in Ireland next summer, taking to the stage in Dublin's Croke Park for two shows on August 16 and 17. Tickets go on sale later this week and they are sure to quickly sell out.

With thousands from across Ireland and even those 'half a world away' expected to descend on Croke Park for the gigs, Dublin will experience another busy weekend, expected to rival the days surrounding the Taylor Swift and Coldplay concerts this year.

Since the massive news, Dublin hotels have seemingly acted fast to capitalise on the opportunity, raising fares to an outrageous degree across Ireland's capital city for the nights of the concerts.

Irish fans of Oasis were quick to call out the practice by the hotels, with one screenshot revealing that prices had seemingly doubled across the city for the weekend next August.

There are no no 4 star hotels available in Dublin City Centre for under €300 for August 16th 2025 on the Booking.com app.

Others pointed to the fact that some hotels and accommodation were reportedly cancelling previous bookings made for the dates, presumably to cash in for the big Croke Park concerts.

One fan voiced her concerns online, saying that "people who had hotels booked in Dublin for the dates Oasis are here are being cancelled and up online for triple the price, shameful".

Another added that the price increase "should be illegal", adding that they stayed in Dublin last weekend and experienced a price hike first-hand. "I had to stay over in Dublin on Saturday night after my flight was cancelled. Cheapest I could get was €493 at a Travelodge because that American game was on. Same hotel was €140 the following night. Scandalous."
