Music streaming platform Spotify has offered fans the chance to pre-save the album.

It will include unheard renditions of Live Forever, Cigarettes & Alcohol, and Rock 'n' Roll Star.

Newly mixed by Noel, it follows recently released songs Columbia (Sawmills Outtake) and Up In The Sky (Monnow Valley Version).

Fans can also dive into new sleeve notes from Creation Records boss Alan McGee - who discovered the Britpop legends and offered to sign them then and there - and journalist Hamish MacBain.

The Definitely Maybe (30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) album is available to pre-order now on Limited-Edition Deluxe 4LP and Deluxe 2CD formats plus exclusive coloured vinyl - Up In The Sky lyric inspired blue and white marble 2LP, and Digsy's Dinner lyric inspired pink and white marble 2LP. 

It will also be available on Limited-Edition blue cassette and digital formats. All formats include the 2014 remastered version of the album.

When first released in 1994, Definitely Maybe reached number one on the Official UK Album Charts and became the fastest selling debut album of all time, at the time.

On Tuesday morning Liam and Noel sensationally confirmed that Oasis - one of the biggest bands in British music history - have reformed for a mammoth tour around the UK and Ireland.

After weeks of growing speculation about a comeback, the Manchester brothers have finally put their 15-year feud on ice to announce they will be performing together again, 34 years after their first gig.

Excitement reached fever pitch on Sunday after the pair shared the same video, written in the Oasis style, teasing an announcement for Tuesday 8am. The same poster appeared on big screens as Liam finished his headline slot at Reading Festival on Sunday. 

And this morning, the iconic Britpop band ended all speculation by confirming a string of gigs - which will not be televised - in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin for next summer. 

The 14-show tour will run from July 4 to August 17, kicking off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium before the brothers pack out Heaton Park in Manchester, Wembley in London, Murrayfield in Edinburgh and Croke Park in Dublin.

Despite speculation that Oasis will be on the bill at Glastonbury 2025, it's understood the band will not be performing at Worthy Farm. However, plans are underway for Oasis to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year. 

Announcing the Oasis Live 25 tour alongside the brothers' first picture together in years, the legendary band said: 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.' 

The Oasis website crashed immediately after the announcement as fans were sent into a frenzy. 

The reunion comes a day before the date the band split on August 28 2009.

Oasis teased fans with this post in which they said an announcement was coming on 27 August at 8am 

Tickets to see the Don't Look Back In Anger hitmakers will go on sale in the UK from 9am on August 31, while Dublin tickets will be available from 8am on the same day. 

Oasis fans have hailed it as the 'ticket bloodbath of the century' and have vowed 'to go to war' to get their hands on them. 

Others have fumed that it is set to be a complete 'free-for-all' because there appears to be no pre-sale links and it is simply one big general sale.

It's understood the brothers buried the hatchet during a late night phone call to embark on a £50million reunion tour.
