Liam Gallagher is clearly having a blast on Oasis‘ reunion tour. You can tell the band’s lead singer and former enfant terrible is enjoying himself because he keeps dropping bread crumbs suggesting that he’s excited for the good times with older brother guitarist/songwriter Noel to roll on.

Gearing up for the final push of shows in South America that kick off on Nov. 15 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Liam hopped into the comments on an X user’s post on Wednesday (Nov. 12) asking: “are you sad that tour is ending soon?” The unrelentingly cheeky singer replied in a way that once again gave hope to all the fans who weren’t able to catch this year’s shows, or who just can’t wait to see the Britpop legends again.
“I’m not actually as I know things you don’t know,” Liam wrote, before muddying the waters again when another fan begged to know “LIAM WHAT DOES THAT MEAN.” Without explaining, the singer said, “Google it.” Aware of rampant speculation that the band could be on the road again next year — including incessant rumors that they plan to make a triumphant return to mark the 30th anniversary of their legendary 1996 Knebworth gigs in front of 250,000 fans — Liam was evasive again when asked if that was “code” for “we’re going on tour next year.”
That latter question was tied to an earlier tease, in which Liam said the brothers’ rapturously received reunion was “only starting.” Liam, being Liam, threw a wet blanked on that, writing, “Next year might be a little enthusiastic.”
With no solid information relayed, Liam did weigh in once more, brushing aside a question about those who’ve claimed that reunion was just “for the money.” Gallagher tut-tutted that assertion, replying, “Nobody think that it’s just fake news everybody knows we’re in it for the people and the good vibrations.”
To be perfectly clear, at press time no additional dates have been announced for the band after the planned final show at MorumBIS in São Paulo, Brazil on Nov. 23 and spokespeople for Oasis have not responded to previous requests for comment on whether the tour will continue. But Gallagher has continually raised hopes, telling Australian fans last week, “You’ve got a lovely f–king country. See you again.”
Last month, after a fan complained about one of his favorite songs (“The Hindu Times”) not making the tour’s rigid setlist this time around, Gallagher cheekily responded, “Chill Winston it’s not even HALF TIME yet it’s a tour of 2 half’s.” To be fair, Gallagher has appeared to be playing a long game from the beginning, ending a Sept. 28 gig at Wembley Stadium in London with the first tease of what’s (possibly) to come when he said, “see you next year.”
After a legendarily sibling rivalry-fueled break-up in 2009, Gallagher reunited with Noel earlier this year to reform the group for a sold-out run that kicked off on July 4 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. They followed up with a five-night run at Heaton Park in their hometown of Manchester, U.K. and gigs in London, Edinburgh and Dublin before moving on to North America, Mexico City, South Korean, Japan and Australia.
