Oasis reunion latest: Liam and Noel Gallagher tease spectacular comeback ahead of rumoured tour

Just a few weeks ago, Liam Gallagher’s son weighed in on the prospect of a reunion – sparking hopes that something could be in the works.

Gene Gallagher, also a musician, said: “I get the feeling my dad wants it, too. Let’s hope it happens. It’s easier to speak about after a couple of pints.”

While nothing has yet been confirmed about the rumoured reunion, insiders have already been speculating about the details, including what venues Oasis might play, and how much tickets could cost.

Could a Glastonbury headline set be on the cards? It’s certainly possible.

Here’s everything we know about the rumours:

Another cryptic hint from Liam Gallagher, shared on Sunday morning. Not “former” for much longer?

Why is everyone so sure that there’s going to be a reunion announced?

Well, just look at the evidence…

Suffice it to say the Oasis fans are loving what’s happening at the moment.

“This is what the UK needs to hear right now,” one fan wrote. “If true, what an immense, welcome, and needed comeback.”

“This is the first moment in 15 years when I actually think it’s gonna happen,” another said.

Critic Mark Beaumont was at Reading Festival, here’s what he had to say:

Sunday at Reading 2024 may go down in history for an unusual first: the only headliner in the festival’s near 70 years who threatens to upstage themselves. On the day that Liam Gallagher arrives to play all of Oasis’s debut album Definitely Maybe in the week of its 30th anniversary, the atmosphere is feverish with rumour that the band are imminently due to announce a reunion.

The mooted comeback is speculated to be a huge run of 2025 reunion shows in London and Manchester, gigs that couldn’t be more hotly anticipated if The Smiths were supporting. Twitter word is that every Premier Inn in London has already been booked out for most of next August, and the buzz on site is just as much for presale details as for Liam’s (somewhat second-best, in the circumstances) show itself.

Talk of a reunion has been swirling in the air for months now, but it was last night at Reading Festival that things really started heating up.

During Liam’s headline set, he dedicated “Half The World Away” to his brother, and later dedicated their hit “Cigarettes & Alcohol” to people who “hate” Oasis.

Hello, and welcome to The Independent’s Oasis liveblog, where we’ll be bringing you updates as and when they arrive about the widely tipped reunion.
