Noel Gallagher Warns Oasis Fans to Expect a ‘Less Raucous’ Reunion Tour

Oasis aren’t planning on making their upcoming reunion tour a voltaile affair.

One of the biggest reunions in recent musical history is set to take place next year, with Britpop veterans Oasis announcing they’ll be getting back together for the first time since 2009.

Given the the famously-contentious relationship between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, many fans assumed that such a reunion would likely never happen, or could be derailed due to the pair slipping into their old warring ways, which occasionally resulted in onstage physical altercations.

Famous incidents included a performance at Los Angeles’ Whisky a Go-Go in 1994 which saw Noel quitting the band after his brother hit him with a tambourine. Another incident occurred during the band’s MTV Unplugged recording at London’s Royal Festival Hall in 1996. After Liam pulled out due to a purported case of laryngitis, Noel took on vocal duties – only to be heckled by a well-sounding Liam from the balcony above.

However, while speaking at London’s National Portrait Gallery for the launch of Zoe Law’s Legends exhibition, Noel Gallagher has asserted that the upcoming dates will be far more reserved than history suggests.

“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,” he said, as per The Sun. “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.”

Despite the siblings’ infamous reputation in the public eye, Noel Gallagher also took the chance to note that the pair’s mother “couldn’t give a s**t” about their reunion. “My mum never gave a s**t, never,” he added. “You know what Irish mums are like?”

Oasis’ upcoming Live ’25 Tour reunion tour is set to launch in July next year, with dates scheduled for the U.K., North America, Asia, Australia, and South America.

Despite the level of international excitement the reunion has inspired, Oasis’ upcoming tour dates have also made headlines for the wrong reasons, namely due to the usage of the controversial dynamic pricing practice.

Backlash from U.K fans was so intense that upon the announcement of their U.S tour dates, Oasis issued a statement noting the practice would not be used for their North American dates.

“It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable,” they said in a statement.

“But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.”
