Oasis Reunion Sparks a Wave of Memes Predicting Their Next Breakup

One of rock’s most infamous rivalries seems to have found some common ground. After 15 long years, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher plan to reunite Oasis for a live tour in 2025. This announcement marks an unexpected truce that fans have been eagerly hoping for, although many skeptics humorously doubt its longevity.

The Gallagher siblings’ disputes trace back to their childhood, growing into a public drama as Oasis soared to fame in the ’90s with their Britpop sound. Their feuds included physical altercations, contentious interviews, and abrupt departures from the band. All this was often exacerbated by their struggles with alcohol and drugs. By 2009, Noel had had enough and quit, famously describing Liam as “a man with a fork in a world of soup.”

Liam didn’t take this lightly, launching a Twitter account mainly to mock Noel, frequently calling him a “potato.” Both brothers used the media to blame each other for Oasis’s breakup and the ongoing inability to reconcile. Their verbal jabs became a staple for tabloid fodder.

Now, there’s cautious anticipation about the upcoming concerts scheduled for next year. With their volatile relationship, 11 months is plenty of time for things to go awry. Some fans are already making jokes and memes about the potential fallout. Concerns range from expected on-stage meltdowns to comparisons with the strained friendship in the film The Banshees of Inisherin. Many even advocate for paying extra for event insurance, just in case.

However, hints of optimism persist. Liam, known for his spite-driven tenacity, might be keen to prove doubters wrong. Recently, he lashed out on Twitter at anyone who suggested the concerts wouldn’t happen. A successful reunion would halt criticism from artists like The 1975’s Matty Healy, who has irked Liam by urging the brothers to reconcile. There are even wilder theories suggesting the duo was spurred on by modern influences, such as feeling overshadowed by new music trends.

Regardless of the motives behind this unexpected unity, fans are gearing up for the ticket scramble when sales start on Aug. 31 for the U.K. and Ireland shows. Dates for North America are pending, but the excitement is palpable. This ticket frenzy could rival that of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, appealing not only to an older demographic but potentially sparking interest among younger generations through platforms like TikTok.

Whether this reunion holds or crumbles under the weight of old grudges, Oasis fans are prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions. They hope for the best but brace for the unpredictable nature of the Gallagher brothers.
