Liam Gallagher Had a Surprisingly Upbeat Response to Fan’s Dream Oasis Setlist For Reunion Tour
The typically testy singer gave kudos, but warned that you shouldn't expect any solo material.
There are a raft of unknowns about the upcoming Oasis reunion tour. We know that the battling Gallagher brothers have buried the hatchet and will be hitting the road around the world starting on July 4 for their first shows since 2009. But at this point we still have no idea who else will be joining singer Liam Gallagher and guitarist/songwriter and occasional vocalist Noel Gallagher, whether there will be new music from the siblings or what songs the duo will play when they hit the stage for one of the most anticipated get-backs of the decade.
Well, now we (sort of) have a sense of which of their most iconic tracks might make the cut. Eschewing his typically snarky reaction to unsolicited speculation about the tour from fans, on Tuesday Liam gave a dream setlist posted on X a half thumbs-up.
“It’s not far off,” Gallagher said of the question asking “is this setlist official?” The unsolicited rundown was filled with the roster of hits and fan favorites you’d expect, including such live staples as: “Acquiesce,” “Some Might Say,” “Lyla,” “Shakermaker,” “The Hindu Times,” “Cast No Shadow,” “Slide Away,” “Supersonic,” “Morning Glory,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star,” “Cigarettes & Alcohol,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Live Forever” and “Champagne Supernova.”
Of course, there were some biggies missing from the rundown, including one of the band’s most beloved tracks, “Wonderwall,” as well as “D’You Know What I Mean,” “Roll With It” and “Go Let It Out.” In a follow, the same fan asked, “Liam Which solo song of yours would you include in the oasis live setlist if you could?”
Hopping right back into character, Liam gave a terse, one-word response: “None.”
In December, equally stoic older brother Noel tapped the brakes on suggestions that the tour might devolve into the type of haymaker-throwing, petulant chaos of the past, which at one point found a purportedly sick Liam sitting in the audience and heckling his brother after declining to participate in the band’s MTV Unplugged recording in London in 1996.
“No, it won’t be as raucous as back in the day, because we’re on the wrong side of 50 now, so we’re too old,” Noel said. “We’re too old to give a s–t now, so there won’t be any fallouts, there won’t be any fighting. It’s a lap of honour for the band.”
To date, Oasis have announced 41 dates on their reunion Live ’25 outing, which will launch with a run of stadium dates in the U.K., followed by a North American run starting in Toronto in August and September and dates in Asia in October, before moving on to Australia and South America; the tour is currently slated to wrap-up with a Nov. 23 date at Estadio MorumBIS in São Paulo, Brazil.
