Liam Gallagher Hints at Oasis Reunion 15 Years After Split

Liam Gallagher, one half of the famously feuding Gallagher brothers from one of the UK’s most successful bands, has seemingly confirmed rumors of an Oasis reunion next summer.

Following reports in the UK press about a potential reconciliation between Liam and Noel Gallagher, and news about an estimated 20 gigs in two cities next year, Liam posted a cryptic message on X: “See you down the front.”

The Times newspaper reports that industry insiders are convinced the band will reform, 15 years after their last gig at the V Festival in the UK in 2009.

Rumors suggest that the Wonderwall and Live Forever hitmakers will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester and Wembley Stadium in London, with whispers of a potential Glastonbury headliner slot as well.

Oasis, with frontman Liam and guitarist-songwriter Noel, formed in 1991 and took the UK charts by storm in the late 1990s. They spearheaded the Britpop era when homegrown bands dominated the charts. Their first album Definitely Maybe became the fastest-selling debut album ever, and their second album 1995’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? cemented their status as the UK’s biggest rock stars. Thirty years on, their popularity remains undimmed with 21 million listeners on Spotify.

The brothers’ always tumultuous relationship hit a breaking point in 2009 when they had a physical altercation before a Paris concert, leading Noel to quit the band. They have not performed together since. However, Liam recently completed a tour where he performed Definitely Maybe to a rapturous reception. He has always been more eager than Noel to reunite on stage, and it appears Noel may have finally relented, perhaps influenced by his expensive divorce last year.

Whatever the reasons behind the reunion, if and when the rumors are confirmed, an Oasis comeback on stage is expected to be the event of the summer. While Taylor Swift may dominate 2024, 2025 could see a Britpop revival with Oasis leading the charge.
