As teased, the brothers Gallagher are back. After rumors, in early 2023, that they were planning a run of reunion shows, Noel and Liam Gallagher confirmed today that Oasis will kick off the first leg of their Oasis Live ’25 tour next July, starting with a slate of shows in the U.K. and Ireland. The trek will mark the brothers’ first tour together since the band’s bitter split in 2009. Speaking of the seismic news, Oasis said in press materials: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.” Find their itinerary below.
Oasis split in 2009, when Noel Gallagher quit the band because he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.” Noel had left in the past after fights with Liam, sometimes onstage, but this one stuck. In 2011, Liam sued Noel for libel, and few murmurs of reunion surfaced until 2017, when Liam and Noel were said to be reuniting at a benefit concert, in Manchester, for the victims of the Ariana Grande concert bombing. In the end, Noel skipped the show, then another rumored appearance at Grande’s One Love Manchester benefit concert. Liam apologized for his brother’s absence. “Noels out of the fucking country,” he wrote. “weren’t we all love get on a fucking plane and play your tunes for the kids you sad fuck.”
In 2020, Liam urged Noel to reunite for charity when the COVID-19 pandemic ended, but his brother again deferred. Noel was fronting Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, whose latest album is 2023’s Council Skies. Liam had been fronting the band Beady Eye, but they split in 2014. His own solo career began in earnest with the 2017 album As You Were; his latest is 2022’s C’mon You Know.
