Oasis are set to earn a staggering £15 million for a series of UK shows.
The British rockers are in talks with AEG - owners of London's O2 arena -
about playing 10 dates this year in support of their hotly-anticipated new
studio album.

Oasis to earn £15 million for UK shows.

A source said: "The dates will be a really special event - and the first
major rock residency at The O2. There have been lots of acts there, like the
Spice Girls and Prince. Led Zeppelin played one date. But no band has yet
set up camp there for a whole run.
"They are lining up 10 dates some time in the autumn before taking on the
rest of the world. Each London show will net them a cool £1.5 million."
The band - singer Liam Gallagher, guitarist Noel Gallagher, bassist Andy
Bell and guitarist Gem Archer - are already confirmed to play the Virgin
Festival Toronto, in Canada, this September.
They also have a series of US dates planned.
David Campbell, the European chief executive of AEG, recently revealed
Oasis, Coldplay and U2 would be his "dream bookings" for 2008.
