What feud? Oasis’ Liam and Noel Gallagher tease return 15 years after band split
It’s about to be the day of Oasis’ comeback.
Liam and Noel Gallagher from the British rock band hinted on social media over the weekend that the group is getting back together after seemingly squashing their feud.
The official Oasis X account posted a quick video with Tuesday’s date (Aug. 27) and the time of 8 a.m., suggesting that a big announcement is coming tomorrow morning.
Noel, 57, tweeted the same video.
Liam, 51, similarly hinted at a reunion by tweeting, “I never did like that word FORMER.”
The younger Gallagher brother also performed at the Reading Festival in England on Sunday night and dedicated the Oasis song “Half the World Away” to Noel.
The Sunday Times reported that the brothers are set to perform a series of concerts in the summer of 2025 at various venues, including London’s Wembley Stadium and Manchester’s Heaton Park.
The outlet, citing unnamed industry insiders, also claimed there’s speculation Oasis might headline Glastonbury Festival next year.
Liam responded to a post about the report on X, writing, “See you down the front ya big fanny kiss kiss x.”
The hints about an Oasis reunion come days before the the 30th anniversary of their debut album, “Definitely Maybe,” which was released Aug. 29, 1994. It became the fastest-selling debut album in UK history at that point.
In January, Noel and his publicist wife, Sara, announced their separation after 12 years of marriage, noting the pandemic and COVID-19 lockdowns put a strain on their relationship. The pair — who met in 2000 — share sons Donovan, 16, and Sonny, 14.
According to reports, Noel had to shell out $20 million in their divorce settlement — a possible good reason to sign on for an Oasis reunion now.
The famous brothers notoriously butted heads just a few years after Oasis formed in Manchester, England, in 1991. The “Wonderwall” band broke up for good after a backstage spat between the siblings at a Paris concert in 2009.
Announcing his departure from the band at the time, Noel wrote in a statement, “It is with some sadness and great relief … I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”
In 2018, Liam said in an interview with Q Magazine that Noel’s wife Sara was getting in the way of an Oasis reunion.
“[Noel]’s desperate to get Oasis back, but he knows he’s crossed that bridge,” Liam told the magazine. “And he’s not allowed to, his missus won’t let him now, cos she’s another one.”
Liam added about his brother, “I know for a fact, deep down, he wants to be playing stadiums… You can only play stadiums when I’m there.”
Earlier this year, Liam took a dig at his brother while slamming the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame when it was announced Oasis was nominated for induction into the hall.
Liam claimed that if Oasis got inducted, he wouldn’t attend the ceremony in Cleveland because he’d be “washing my hair and having a pedicure and a manicure.” He added about Noel, “This little fella loves hanging out with celebrities, so he’d prob go.”
Oasis ultimately did not get voted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
