Oasis Fans are fired up due to new reunion rumours , which are fueled by humorous posts by ex-frontman Liam Gallagher.
On the evening of Saturday (24 August) the news media reported that the rock groupwere planning a massive reunion for 2025that would include massive performances at Manchester in the UK and London.
Reunion rumors have been at high gear for the last year, due in part to the apparent dissolution of the fight among Liamand the older sibling and ex-bandmate Noel.
Fans were shocked by the news last week, when Noel made a number of praises for Liam during an interview John Robb at Manchester’s Sifters Records.
“It’s the delivery or the tone of his voice and the attitude,” Liam stated about Liam’s performance on songs like “Slide Away”, “Cigarettes and Alcohol” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll Star”.
“I don’t have the same attitude as him,” Noel continued in comparing Liam’s voice “a shot of tequila” and his voice to “half a Guinness”.
“Liam’s is 10 shots of tequila on a Friday night,” the comedian joked.
Today, the Sunday Times says that a news story could be made as early in the next week which would be around thirty years since their debut album Absolutely Maybe.
Fans are buzzing on social media, chatting about the speculations ahead of Liam’s performance as the headline act at the Reading Festival.
“This is what the UK needs to hear right now,” one fan wrote. “If true, what an immense, welcome, and needed comeback.”

“This is the first moment in 15 years when I actually think it’s gonna happen,” another person said.
“If we can do this, we can solve climate change,” one fan joked. Another said: “If Oasis reunite, I will fly myself, my wife and our baby across the globe to Manchester and spend all our savings.”
Liam has responded to requests from fans to confirm the reports.
“Are the Oasis reunion rumours true?” one fan demanded and he replied: “Honest to me I’ve not heard a peep.”
If someone inquired about when the reunion dates would be made public, he said: “Next Friday.”
When one fan complained that he gave supporters “panic attacks”, Liam declared: “It’s you lot that are being silly buggers I’m just trying to get to the other side as safe and sound as possible.”
However, when a skeptic reacted in response to a Sunday Timesarticle by saying that Heaton Park in Manchester was the “terrible venue for concerts”, Liam said: “See you down the front you big fanny.”
In the last month Gene, Liam’s child Gene said to The Timesthat his father is planning an reunion, echoing remarks made from Liam himself over the last few times.
“I get the feeling my dad wants it,” he told me. “Let’s hope it happens. It’s easier to speak about after a couple of pints.”
Gene stated that this is “nothing to do with” his work, “I mean, will they? I’m not sure. I’d love it, but it’s out of the control of me.”
He also mentioned that his father’s most-loved Oasis track includes “Wonderwall”, despite his uncle Noel frequently playing the song in concert and on his own.
Despite their rival fathers, the 23 year-old claims that he has a close relationship with the daughter of Noel’s Anais. While they’ve joked about having an event, he claimed that the siblings are “too smart for that”.
When he was interviewed from last this year, Noel – who previously had ruled out the possibility of a reunion, joked that he’d like to look at “what everyone’s hair was looking like”.
“My hair was a bit thicker in Oasis,” the singer said in an interview with Gibson’s “Icons” series. He also said that a reunion could comprise his son Liam along with “a load of fit f***ing birds”.
The Independenthas been in contact with Liam as well as Noel’s representative to get comments.
