Liam and Noel Gallagher have made up after 15 years of feuding. The Oasis brothers came together again for the reunion.
It is one of the biggest sensations in recent music history: On Tuesday (27 August) the cult band Oasis announced their reunion – and with it the end of a sibling feud that has repeatedly preoccupied fans over the past few decades. Noel (57) and Liam Gallagher (51) have apparently made up again. A reconciliation is said to have been made possible after 15 years through late-night phone calls, as the British “” reports.
Brotherly reconciliation on the telephone
“Noel and Liam will never be best friends, but they want to bring Oasis back for the fans. They aren’t getting any younger and demand is huge. They have decided: it’s now or never,” an insider is quoted as saying by the paper. According to the insider, Noel refused for a long time, but finally gave in and agreed to return. “He spoke to Liam on the phone and they are on the same page.” The brothers are aware that “this reunion will go down in music history.”
On Sunday night (25 August), Liam had already hinted at this development during his headlining performance at Reading Festival. He played the Oasis song “Half The World Away” and said: “I want to dedicate this song to Noel fucking Gallagher.” After the set, he announced that there would be big news on 27 August at 8am.
The big feud between Liam and Noel Gallagher
The dispute between the Gallagher brothers is one of the most famous feuds in music history. The British rock band Oasis was founded in 1991 and is considered the most successful Britpop band of all time – but besides the music, it is best known for the rivalry between Liam and Noel Gallagher.
Ever since the band was founded, the disputes between the two have dominated the headlines. In 1994, Noel reportedly left his Oasis bandmates for the first time after Liam threw a tambourine at him. Year after year, further rifts in the band’s structure followed due to taunts – up until the major split in 2009.
On the day of the band’s final dissolution, the group was preparing to go on stage at the Rock En Seine Festival in Paris when an argument broke out between the two brothers, during which Liam is said to have swung Noel’s guitar around “like an axe”. As a result, not only was the performance cancelled, but the entire tour and the end of the band were announced. “It is with some sadness and great relief that I have to tell you today that I am leaving Oasis tonight. People can write and say what they want, but I simply could not work with Liam for another day,” Noel Gallagher said at the time, according to “”.
The great hope of Oasis fans comes true
Since then, fans have been hoping for a legendary Oasis reunion, which will soon – if everything goes according to plan – become a reality. The website states: “Oasis today ended years of speculation and confirmed the long-awaited concerts in the UK and Ireland, which form the domestic leg of their ‘OASIS LIVE ’25’ world tour.” Accordingly, Oasis will perform in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin in the summer of 2025. “As these will be their only shows in Europe next year, this will be one of the biggest live moments of the decade,” it is explained. However, there are plans for Oasis to play on other continents over the course of the next year.
