A statement explains the other world shows are yet to be announced. The Britpop band split 15 years ago after releasing their char-topping album around three decades ago.
Noel quit the band in August 2009, stating he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer".
Fans have been pleading for a reunion ever since the band's split, which followed a backstage brawl in Paris.
Rumours of a reunion were intensified after an announcement for Tuesday was teased, along with reports that the brothers had finally set their feud aside.
Liam, 51, penned on X following the announcement: "'This is it, this is happening'- Tickets on sale this Saturday 31st August," before confirming a list of dates.
He also posted a video featuring the band's historic highlights. Excited fans were soon sent into meltdown over the long-awaited news.

The brothers can be heard saying: "I'd do it all again in a f***ing heartbeat" as well as "people will never, ever forget how you made them feel".
The Standard reports how publicists for Oasis stated: "Oasis today end years of feverish speculation with the confirmation of a long awaited run of UK and Ireland shows forming the domestic leg of their Oasis live 25 world tour.
"Oasis will hit Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin in the summer of 2025. Their only shows are in Europe next year, this will be one of the biggest live moments and hottest tickets of the decade.
"The Oasis live experience is unlike anything else. The roar that greets them as they step on stage. A set full of wall-to-wall classics. The spine-tingling sensation of being in a crowd singing back every word.
"And especially the charisma, spark and intensity that only comes when Liam and Noel Gallagher are on-stage together.
"The brothers have flourished with their own projects since the band split in 2009, with 10 UK #1 albums between them as well as countless festival headline sets and stadium and arena shows.

"But Oasis is something else. There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion - just the gradual realisation that the time is right. Yet the timing must be a subconscious influence.
"This Thursday represents 30 years to the day since their electrifying debut album Definitely Maybe was released, while 2025 will see the equally essential second record (What's The Story) Morning Glory? reach that same anniversary."
Responding on X, the excitement from fans was clear as one penned: "WHAT AN ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO."
"Kings are back Oh my god," a second wrote, while another commented: "Oasis forever".
"THE BIGGEST THING SINCE FACEBOOK LETS PAAAAAAAAARTY BRA," someone else shared.
Another quipped: "Bucket hats ordered. Kidneys sold," while a different X user added: "Holy s***!!!"
"Never thought I’d see the day!!" Someone else confessed. (sic)
