Oasis, Coldplay and U2 are set to play residencies at London's O2 arena.
The three huge bands - who are all due to release albums this year - are being lined up by promoter David Campbell to play a series of sell-out shows at the venue.
It has been reported that Oasis have already opened talks with Campbell, the European chief executive of The O2's promoters AEG, over a possible multiple-date residency similar to those undertaken by Prince and Spice Girls since the venue opened.
Campbell named the Manchester rockers, U2 and Colplay as his "dream bookings" for 2008.
Colplay are due to release fourth album 'Prospekt' in May, while Oasis finished recording their seventh studio LP in December and are aiming for a spring release.
U2's next album, which has been written with the help of producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, is also scheduled to hit shelves by the end of the year.
