Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have ended their 15-year feud and will reunite on stage
Noel and Liam Gallagher can haven’t been in a room together for 15 years, but the power of that incomparable emotion called nostalgia and the prospect of a colossal paycheck have broken down the wall: Oasis are back.
The British band have resisted a reunion since they broke up in 2009, but the band have announced a 2025 tour. Oasis will perform at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium (4 and 5 July), Manchester’s Heaton Park (11, 12, 19 and 20 July), Wembley Stadium, London (25 and 26 August and 2 and 3 August), Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh (8 and 9 August) and Croke Park, Dublin (16 and 17 August). Next year marks the 30th anniversary of one of the band’s two most successful albums (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995), which includes their most famous hit, Wonderwall.

The announcement marks the end of 15 years of bickering and insults, which at first were fun, but later became tiresome and increasingly hostile. “Noel is pretty dark, but so was Hitler,” Liam once said of his brother. For years, the brothers were adamant that they would never play together again, especially Noel: “It wouldn’t make sense”he said. Now, that attitude has changed. Only two people count in this story, Noel (57) and Liam Gallagher (51), dysfunctional, argumentative, obnoxious, egotistical… And also the creators of a handful of songs that marked the 1990s. Oasis were the pride of British rock and roll at a time when the American grunge scene was beginning to falter. Their first album, ‘Definitely Maybe’, was released in August 1994, four months after the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

‘Rock and Roll Star’, ‘Live Forever’, ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ are all hallmarks of Oasis’ style. Liam’s aggressive, vowel-stretching vocals, Noel’s thick guitars. No one wanted to be a rock star more than them. At concerts, they didn’t have to dance or pirouette. Their behavior as tough working class kids was enough. Liam sang pinned to the stage, his hands tied behind his back as if he was waiting to be handcuffed, his legs slightly bent and his neck stretched out with his mouth pointing towards the microphone. When he finished his vocals, he would swing a tambourine and strut around the stage with a smile on his face. Noel hardly moved either, playing his oversized guitars and giving off the cocky demeanor of someone in total control as composer and boss when it comes to making decisions.

In the 2000s their albums became more psychedelic. Then in 2009 came the infamous dressing room brawl at a concert in Paris, after which Noel quit the band accusing his brother of “an unacceptable level of verbal bullying and violence”. The singer is said to have thrown a guitar at Noel. After the split, the fraternal psychodrama began, with plenty of family unwashed and insults. Since then the brothers have pursued solo careers, lower in quality and, above all, in popularity than Oasis’ heyday.
British tabloids, waiting for the reunion material, claim that the Oasis revival could fetch £400m and that the Gallaghers will each pocket around £60m.
