Noel and Liam Gallagher, the brothers behind the iconic Britpop band Oasis, have sparked speculation about a potential reunion after bitterly feuding for over a decade. On Sunday, both brothers posted short videos on social media featuring the date “27.08.24” in a style reminiscent of the band’s famous logo, along with a time stamp of “8am.” This content was also shared on the band’s official X account.
The teasing posts coincided with a report from The Sunday Times, which, citing unnamed “industry insiders,” suggested that the brothers are considering a performance next summer at Heaton Park in Manchester, where Oasis originated in 1991, and at Wembley Stadium in London.
While NBC News has not verified this information, the brothers’ representatives have not yet responded to requests for comments.
Since the band’s contentious split in 2009, following a backstage altercation at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, fans have long hoped for a reunion. Over the years, the siblings, now 57-year-old Noel and 51-year-old Liam, have continued their public feud, often resorting to harsh insults.
Noel has previously described Liam as “the angriest man you’ll ever meet,” humorously likening him to “a man with a fork in a world of soup,” while Liam has called Noel a “potato.” Their exchanges on social media have included numerous other insults, highlighting their tumultuous relationship.
Despite their conflicts, Oasis thrived during their peak, releasing hit albums like “Definitely Maybe” and “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” which included chart-topping tracks such as “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and “Champagne Supernova.”
Should a reunion take place, it would coincide with the 30th anniversary of “Morning Glory,” which was the UK’s best-selling album of the 1990s and marked Oasis’s breakthrough in the U.S. This suggests that the prospect of the band reuniting could serve as a poignant reminder for their devoted fans now in their 40s and 50s.
Liam has been vocal on X about the rumors, reassuring fans that he never liked being referred to as “former” and defending the band’s legacy. He has taken to responding to both support and criticism, directing pointed remarks at users who suggested financial issues and asserting that Oasis is back in the conversation regardless of detractors. “See you down the front ya big fanny kiss kiss x,” he humorously declared in a post on Saturday.
