Sorry! The long-awaited reunion of Britpop’s finest will contain no Beady Eye or High Flying Birds material
Ever since Oasis finally announced a reunion last year, Liam Gallagher has been predictably vocal in discussing the 2025 tour on Twitter. Fans angry over obscene ticket prices? “ATTITUDE STINKS.” That SNL “Weekend Update” sketch? “Excruciating.” Irish punk band Fontaines DC are not Oasis fans? “Fuck them, little spunkbubbles.” Not sure if they’ll sound as great as they did back in the day? “Listen here you CUNT even on our bad day we’ll still wipe the floor with majority of bands out there.”
But he’s also provided useful details about the upcoming reunion, like the fact that he and his brother, Noel, have a new album in the can and no rumored documentary. “It’s time to get rocking and rolling, not yapping and scrapping,” Gallagher said last fall. Fair enough.
On Tuesday, Gallagher responded to a fan asking about a rumored setlist containing beloved cuts across their career and culminating in classics like “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Live Forever,” and “Champagne Supernova” (the latter of which Noel recently created an “ambient” six-hour version of for a National Portrait Gallery exhibit, obviously). Replying to the setlist, Gallagher wrote, “It’s not far off.”
Gallagher separately responded to the same fan asking about a solo song Gallagher would like to play, to which he answered, “None.”
Oasis announced their long-awaited reunion last August — just in time with the 30th anniversary of their debut Definitely Maybe — despite spending the last 15 years emphatically denying they’d ever do so. Fittingly, it was Gallagher who began to tease the news on Twitter, stating just before the formal announcement, “I never did like that word FORMER.”
The Britpop band will launch the tour this summer, kicking off with two nights in Cardiff, Wales on July 4. They’ll play several dates in the U.K. — including Manchester and London — before heading to North America in late August. In the meantime, check out Rolling Stone‘s list of the 40 Best Oasis Songs.
