Liam Gallagher Is Fueling Speculation of a Possible Oasis Reunion
"I never did like that word FORMER," the Britpop band's co-founder wrote.

Liam Gallagher seems to be giving hope that an Oasis reunion could finally be in the works.
Following reports over the weekend that the Britpop band will reunite for a series of U.K. concerts in 2025, Liam Gallagher was fueling the flames on social media of a possible reunion with his brother Noel, who he last performed with onstage in August 2009.
On Saturday (Aug. 24), The Sunday Timesreported that the Gallagher brothers — who have been feuding for the past 15 years — will reunite next summer for a 10-night stand at London’s Wembley Stadium and shows at Heaton Park in their hometown of Manchester. The report cites “industry insiders” as sources and claims the announcement could arrive as early as Tuesday (Aug. 27).
As rumors began to spread online, Liam Gallagher responded to fan inquiries on X (formerly Twitter) with lines like “News to me” and “I know nothing.” Later in the day, the musician upped the ante by replying to a fan who wrote they were “scared” by the potential reunion announcement. “Your scared how do you think I feel,” Gallagher replied. When another observer called Manchester’s Heaton Park “a terrible venue,” Liam wrote, “See you down the front you big fanny.”
Liam further stoked the flames on Sunday morning by responding to a fan on X who asked when Oasis tour dates would be announced. “Nxt Friday,” he said. And when asked about his plans for 2025, the artist answered, “World domination.” In a standalone post, he vaguely wrote, “I never did like that word FORMER.”
Meanwhile, Liam’s older brother Noel Gallagher, has not responded publicly to the rumors about a possible Oasis reunion.
Oasis — whose final lineup included Liam, Noel, guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell — formally disbanded in 2009 after the brothers had an argument before a performance in France. Noel has previously stated he was willing return to the band for 100 million British pounds ($135 million USD), to which Liam responded that he would reunite the band for free.
The Manchester rock heavyweights are currently celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Definitely Maybe, with a deluxe edition scheduled for release on Aug. 30. The expanded editions include “unheard” versions from Monnow Valley Studio, near Rockfield, and outtakes from Sawmills Studios in Cornwall, where the album was re-recorded.
