Apparently Noel would only do it for a sky high payday
Sales of rain macs and bucket hats just went up. Probably.
Yep, Oasis have actually confirmed they’re going to do a reunion tour – and the Gallagher brothers are reportedly set to earn a shedload for it.
After getting the rumour mill going with a song dedication at Reading Festival and then a mysterious image at the Blossoms’ Manchester gig and on social media.
Announcing several dates across the UK and Ireland next year, the band announced: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”

It’s been reported that the brothers have been having some ‘late-night conversations’ and it allegedly led to Noel agreeing to reunite the band after being convinced by a £50 million initial payday.
A source told MailOnline: “Noel would only ever consider sharing the stage with Liam again if the money was astronomical and that’s what convinced him.
“They haven’t buried the hatchet and Noel will always have huge reservations about being in a band with Liam as he’s so unpredictable – both on and off stage.
“Certain conditions will have to be put in place in regards to safeguarding Noel’s presence in this comeback because he really can’t handle Liam’s form for being a liability.
“But the sums of money being offered will obviously help through any potential ordeals. It’s life changing cash – even for somebody already very rich.”
Well, if it does end up going ahead by the time we get to next summer, the lads are set to hit that ‘astronomical’ mark as music experts reckon it could gross a whopping £400 million.
Plus, there’s also rumours Oasis will take a headline slot at Glastonbury.
Although, that payday won’t be quite as sky high.

Fans pointed out that the tour dates announced ‘leaves a big gaping hole during Glastonbury week’.
The band last headlined Glastonbury in 2004, and since they’ve said their tour shows ‘will not be televised’, so them being on the Glasto broadcast would be the only way people not getting tickets could see them on the telly.
However, it’s probably best not to be relying on just that, as the Press Association understands that Oasis won’t be performing at the famous festival.
I mean, god knows how many thousands the pair will probably make from selling branded bucket hats alone.
Liam and Noel’s reps had no comment when approached by LADbible.

British music is set for a Biblical summer after Oasis confirmed their return following a long 15 years without the iconic rock band.
Noel and Liam Gallagher simultaneously announced the return of the Manchester band, with an initial 14 stadium and field concerts announced across the UK and Ireland in 2025.
The two brothers have seemingly been at war ever since Noel quit the band in 2009, saying he could no longer work with Liam after the frontman reportedly swung a guitar that ‘nearly took Noel’s head off’ at the Rock en Seine Festival in Paris.
But after teasing the return of Oasis over the August bank holiday weekend, the rock ‘n’ roll stars confirmed they had reconciled as they announced on social media: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”

When Liam Gallagher was performing ‘Half the World Away’ at Reading Festival last night (25 August) he told the crowd ‘I wanna dedicate this song to Noel Gallagher’.
It was the latest in a line of compliments the brothers have paid each other amidst reports that they’re getting the band back together.
Both Noel and Liam have teased the date ‘27.08.24’ on social media, and the same message appeared at the end of a Blossoms concert in Manchester.
Presumably that means something is happening tomorrow, one day before the date that would have marked 15 years since Oasis split up.
Reports claim that it’s going to be an Oasis reunion, with the band supposedly set to play at Wembley Stadium and Heaton Park next year.

According to The Sun, a ‘late night phone call’ between Noel and Liam had them ‘on the same page’ about bringing Oasis back, and if they do make that comeback, it’ll be welcomed by music fans across the country.
The band’s history is certainly a tumultuous one, with them splitting up in 2009 after it was announced that they wouldn’t be performing at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Throughout the lifespan of Oasis, there had been a number of incidents involving Noel and Liam, including the Wibbling Rivalry – an interview between the pair which ended up getting released on vinyl.
Someone even once auctioned off a cricket bat which they said Noel had used to hit Liam, and over the years there were lots of arguments.
In the months before the Rock en Seine festival on 28 August, 2009, Noel had called Liam ‘the angriest man you’ll ever meet’ and said that ‘life would be easier without Oasis’.
On 23 August of that year, the band dropped out of performing at V Festival as Liam was suffering from laryngitis, Noel would later claim it was actually due to a hangover and apologised for saying that after legal action from Liam.

Five days later, the Rock en Seine festival was on and a backstage argument before Oasis was due to go out and perform meant the show did not go on.
A couple of hours later Noel released the following statement: “It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight.
“People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”
A couple of years later, he told Absolute Radio: “If I had my time again I would have gone back and done the gig.
“I’d have done that gig and I’d have done the next gig and we’d have all gone away and we could have probably discussed it. We may never have split up.”
Since then, both brothers pursued successful solo careers and there’s occasionally been talk of a reunion, with Liam tweeting ‘let’s get the big O back together’ in 2018.
At various times they’ve said a reunion is not happening or an offer to get the band back together has gone unanswered.
