OASIS have announced two dates at the BIC as part of a UK arena tour on October 20 and 21.

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Wednesay, August 20.

It's 13 years since the notorious Battle of Britpop chart war was almost played out in Bournemouth. In August 1995, Oasis and arch rivals Blur released singles on the same day - Blur's Country House ultimately beating Oasis' Roll With It to the number one spot.

Both bands subsequently announced tour dates that brought Blur to the Pier Showbar and Oasis to the BIC on September 18.

But a physical manifestation of the much-hyped Battle of Britpop was averted when Oasis postponed their tour until October.
