Oasis Won’t Reunite for Love—Only for Megabucks

Despite previous reports about Liam and Noel Gallagher mending fences for an Oasis reunion tour, the Daily Mail reported that an “astronomical” amount of money could be the actual driving force behind their potential reconciliation.

An unnamed source indicated that Noel and Liam “haven’t buried the hatchet.” The source elaborated, “Noel will always have huge reservations about being in a band with Liam as he’s so unpredictable—both on and off stage.”

According to the source, specific measures need to be in place to ensure Noel’s participation due to his concerns over Liam’s unpredictable behavior. However, the source added that substantial financial incentives could help mitigate these issues, describing the sum as “life-changing cash—even for somebody already very rich.”

The Daily Mail reported that the band could potentially make as much as $500,604,000 (£400 million) from the reunion.

Speculation about the siblings reuniting was ignited by a report from The Times of London discussing a possible 2025 reunion, with shows at iconic venues such as Wembley and Heaton Park.

Identical social media posts from both brothers teasing an announcement at 8 a.m. on Aug. 27 further fueled speculation.

Oasis officially broke up in 2009 following a backstage dispute at a Paris music festival, after being together since 1991.

In 2020, Noel dismissed reunion rumors on social media, tweeting, “To whoever might be arsed: I am not aware of any offer from anybody for any amount of money to reform the legendary Mancunian Rock’n’Roll group Oasis.” He further added, “I am fully aware though that someone has a single to promote so that’s maybe where the confusion lies.”
