Oasis fans, it’s time to stop crying your hearts out. The Gallagher brothers will reunite for a summer 2025 tour.
Following decades of public spats and 15 years after Noel Gallagher officially called it quits because he “could not go on working with Liam a day longer,” Oasis will play 12 concerts across the U.K., the band announced on Tuesday.
“There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion — just the gradual realization that the time is right,” a press release stated, per Variety. “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.”
The reunion tour kicks off at Cardiff Principality Stadium on July 4, 2025, and concludes at Dublin Croke Park on Aug. 17. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, Aug. 31.
“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” Oasis posted on X Tuesday morning.
On a fateful night more than 40 years ago, Liam Gallagher came home late, desperate to use the bathroom. Unable to find a light switch, he went to the bathroom on his older brother’s “new stereo.” Liam believes their decadeslong feud “basically boils down to that,” he shared in the 2016 documentary “Oasis: Supersonic.”
But their clash has clearly also been fueled by nasty insults, petty tweets, physical altercations and onstage squabbles.
To put it simply, their relationship is messy.
Here is a simplified timeline of how the Gallagher brothers dug themselves into a headline-dominating feud — and then crawled their way out.
September 1994: At a Los Angeles show, Liam insulted Noel by altering the lyrics in “Live Forever” to “Maybe, I don’t really want to know, why you pick your nose,” before hitting Noel over the head with a tambourine, per Variety. Noel stormed offstage before the set was over. He quit the band the following day, but cooled off and rejoined.
Spring 1995: While Noel was at work recording Oasis’ album “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory,” Liam brought a group from the pub to hang out in the studio. The brothers promptly began squabbling and Noel allegedly grabbed a cricket bat and smacked Liam on the head with it, per The Evening Standard.
May 2000: During a drunken night in Barcelona, Liam allegedly questioned the legitimacy of Noel’s daughter, Anais, who he had with his ex-wife Meg Mathews. “Noel is on top of Liam in an instant, punching him, splitting his lip,” as reported by The Guardian.
October 2005: In an interview with Spin, Noel revealed he resorted to mental manipulation to get Liam to do what he wanted. “I’ve kind of learnt that instead of arguing stuff out with him and ending up in a fight, I work on his psychology and he’s completely freaked out by me now,” the guitarist told Spin, per NME. “He’s actually frightened to death of me.”
August 2009: Noel officially quit Oasis.
2009 and on: The Gallagher feud was taken online. Liam began utilizing Twitter (now X) to sling insults at Noel — who rarely responded. It started with Liam calling Noel an “old housewife” and spiraled into him routinely calling his older brother a “potato.”
October 2017: Noel recommended Liam “see a psychiatrist” in an interview with The Sunday Times.
July 2019: Liam suggested they “get the Big O back together,” via X. After a day with no response from Noel, he wrote, “I’ll take that as a NO then.”
May 2021: For 100 million pounds, Noel said he would reunite with Oasis, per RadioX.
March 2023: Talks of an Oasis reunion got real.
Aug. 27, 2024: Oasis announced 2025 reunion tour in the U.K.
Oasis fans have long waited for the Gallagher brothers to make up and put on a reunion tour.
In response to the U.K. tour announcement, fans are joking about selling their cars just to get a ticket to the concert — while others predict the brothers’ relationship will implode again before they finish the tour.
