Oasis Fans Excited by Reports of Imminent Reunion Announcement

Oasis fans are abuzz once more, thanks to fresh reunion rumors, sparked by some playful posts from former frontman Liam Gallagher.

On Saturday evening (24 August), a report suggested that the legendary rock band is planning a major reunion for 2025. The plan reportedly includes massive shows in Manchester and London.

For the past year, reunion rumors have been rampant, particularly due to the seemingly improving relationship between Liam and his older brother, Noel.

Fans were left in shock last week when Noel offered a series of compliments about Liam in an interview with John Robb at Manchester’s Sifters Records.

“It’s the delivery or the tone of his voice and the attitude,” Noel said of Liam’s performance on hits like “Slide Away”, “Cigarettes and Alcohol”, and “Rock’N’Roll Star”.

“I don’t have the same attitude as him,” Noel continued, comparing Liam’s voice to “a shot of tequila” and his to “half a Guinness”.

“Liam’s is 10 shots of tequila on a Friday night,” he humorously added.

Now, the Sunday Times claims that an announcement could come as soon as this week, around the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Definitely Maybe.

Fans have been buzzing on social media, discussing the rumors ahead of Liam’s headline performance at Reading Festival.

“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.

“If we can do this, we can solve climate change,” a fan joked, while another claimed, “If Oasis reunite, I will fly myself, my wife, and our baby across the globe to Manchester and spend all our savings.”

Liam has been responding to fans asking him to confirm the rumors.

“Are the Oasis reunion rumors true?” one fan questioned, to which he replied, “Honest to me I’ve not heard a peep.”

When another asked him when the reunion dates were being announced, he quipped, “Next Friday.”

As one complained that he was giving fans “panic attacks”, Liam responded, “It’s you lot that are being silly buggers I’m just trying to get to the other side as safe and sound as possible.”

But when a skeptic responded to the Sunday Times article by claiming Heaton Park in Manchester was a “terrible venue for concerts,” Liam retorted, “See you down the front you big fanny.”

Earlier this month, Liam’s son Gene told The Times that his dad is up for a reunion, echoing comments made by Liam in recent years.

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

Gene added that, while it’s “nothing to do with” him, “I mean, will they? I don’t know. I would love it but it’s so beyond my control.”

He also shared that his father’s all-time favorite Oasis song is “Wonderwall”, even though his uncle Noel often performs the song live and solo.

Despite their feuding fathers, the 23-year-old says he is close friends with Noel’s daughter Anaïs. Though they’ve joked about staging an intervention, Gene believes the brothers are “too smart for that.”

In an interview last year, Noel – who had previously ruled out any chance of a reunion – joked that he would have to see “what everyone’s hair was looking like.”

“My hair was a bit thicker in Oasis,” he said in an interview for Gibson’s “Icons” series. He then claimed that a reunion would likely involve him, Liam, and “a load of fit f***ing birds.”

The Independent has contacted Liam and Noel’s representatives for comment.
