In the annals of rock history, few bands have been as synonymous with both brilliance and bedlam as Oasis. After 15 years of anticipation, speculation, and the occasional expletive-laden insult hurled across social media, the Gallagher brothers are set to reunite Oasis for a 2025 tour. For those who’ve lived through the glory days of Britpop, this announcement isn’t just a trip down memory lane—it’s a revival of the raw, untamed energy that made Oasis legends.
The band’s split in 2009 was nothing short of cataclysmic. It wasn’t just another rock and roll breakup; it was a public implosion. The final straw came in Paris, just before a headline performance at the Rock en Seine festival. The brothers’ notorious rivalry boiled over backstage, with Liam reportedly swinging a guitar at Noel, sealing the fate of the band. Noel walked out, leaving a shocked crowd to hear the news that Oasis was no more. The official announcement followed shortly after, with Noel stating, “It’s with some sadness and great relief… I quit Oasis tonight.” And just like that, the band that had once dominated the airwaves and the tabloids was no more.
Fast forward to 2024, and the unthinkable has happened. The Gallaghers have found enough common ground—or at least a mutual understanding—to bring Oasis back. The news broke via a cryptic social media post, followed by a teaser video that sent waves through the music world. The video, which can be found on their official YouTube channel, is a montage of the band’s most iconic moments, set to the strains of “Champagne Supernova.” It’s as if time has stood still, waiting for this exact moment.
Noel Gallagher recently hinted in interviews that he and Liam were "in a good place," which led to the discussions that have culminated in this reunion. This tour isn’t just about rehashing the past; it’s about reclaiming their place in rock history, reminding the world why Oasis was more than just a band—they were a movement.
