If you attended one of Oasis‘ spellbinding reunion gigs in 2025 you know the two feelings just about everyone else there was having: they never wanted it to end and they couldn’t wait to do it again. Well, believe it or not, Oasis guitarists/songwriter and occasional singer Noel Gallagher felt pretty much the same way.
Speaking to his favorite sports chat show this week, the U.K.’s talkSPORT, Gallagher called in to reveal the exact moment he knew that he and former best frenemy brother singer Liam Gallagher were going to do it all again. “It was after about the second Wembley show [on July 26, 2025],” Noel revealed in the interview. “Nobody really knew what was going to happen … or how it was going to go. So we did Cardiff and Manchester, then by the time we got to Wembley, somebody said ‘Well, you know?’ and it was decided we were going to do it.”
Noel said the wheels were “all set in motion then,” with the brothers agreeing that they would definitely play shows in Italy, France, Germany and Spain because the fans there have always “been great with us throughout the years, so there was always a plan to do that.”
Oasis confirmed their upcoming run of Live ’27 shows on Monday (Sept. 14), revealing plans for 38 more gigs slated to kick off in May at Glasgow’s Celtic Park before moving on to 11 nights at Manchester’s The Etihad, as well as shows in Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and Rome. The tour will then hit Boston’s Gillette Stadium for three nights in August, followed by a triple-down at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas before winding down with two nights at Slane Castle in the Republic of Ireland and a final four shows at Knebworth House in Stevenage, England.
After only touching down in four North American cities the first time around — Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, N.J. and Pasadena, Calif. — Gallagher said that Vegas and Boston made the cut on the second go-round because, frankly, they were “meant to do [those cities] last time, but couldn’t for some reason.”
The bottom line about the new dates, he said, is, “we were having such a great time, why wouldn’t you?”
That’s all the good news.
The not-as-good-news is that Gallagher said “I dunno” when asked if this revived touring schedule is something he’d like to keep up. And, like brother Liam, Noel was adamant that the new dates will not be accompanied by the first new album since 2008’s Dig Out Your Soul LP. “There won’t be any new music, no,” he said tersely. Asked if he wanted to elaborate on that, Noel repeated “no.”
Back in July, after a fan begged Liam to consider recording a new album, which they said could “change lives,” Liam was a hard no. “NO I’m just not prepared for the criticism if it doesn’t sell 100 million copies in the 1st hour cure bad breath and constipation for the nation if it doesn’t turn back time for Cher and some other s–t let’s just to some gigs and be happy thank you,” he responded.
The just-debuted documentary about the 2025 reunion tour, Don’t Look Back in Anger, will be released to streaming on Disney+ and Hulu later this year.
