When word of an Oasis reunion tour started spreading online over the weekend, it was easy to dismiss it as yet another rumor drummed up by the U.K. press. We’ve seen this many times before with reports of reunions by the Smiths and Kinks that never came close to fruition. But the Oasis news didn’t originate in The Daily Mirror or the Daily Express. This came from The Times, which is most assuredly not a tabloid.

Liam and Noel Gallagher have hinted at a possible Oasis reunion taking place in 2025. Update: Oasis, indeed, have officially announced a handful of reunion concerts slated for the UK and Ireland in summer 2025.
Over the weekend, UK media buzzed with various reports that the brothers would reunite next summer for a series of concerts. One report from the Times of London has Oasis playing multiple shows in Heaton Park in Manchester and Wembley Stadium in London, as well as headlining Glastonbury.
Although the Gallaghers haven’t directly confirmed these reports, both brothers took to social media on Sunday to tease an announcement set for Tuesday, August 27th, at 8:00 a.m. GMT. Further adding fuel to the fire, Oasis’ official social media channels are promoting the same upcoming announcement.
Oasis last performed together in 2009, when Noel dramatically quit the band just before their set at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

One of the most famous busted instruments in rock history — the guitar that was broken in the final blowout fight between Noel and Liam Gallagher before Oasis broke up — has sold at auction for €385,500, or about 405,000, The Guardian reports.
The red Gibson Es-355, which originally belonged to Noel, was broken during a backstage fight between the brothers before Oasis was set to play the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in Aug. 2009. As a result, the band’s manager was forced to tell the crowd that the show was off...

As the 20th anniversary of Definitely Maybe arrives, as well as commemorative reissues of their first three albums, the life and times of Oasis are perhaps in need of a re-evaluation. Forever snidely mocked for being too musically simple, borrowing one riff too many and with an overuse of the word ‘shine’, perhaps some criticism was justly deserved – especially in the group’s earlier days.
Truth be told, Oasis found a winning formula and stuck with it. The popularity of songs like ‘Live Forever’, ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’, ‘Wonderwall’, and ‘Stand By Me’ meant that every Oasis single from then on in would be of similar characteristics – disgustingly uplifting, happily plodding along, and using the same four chords throughout. But outside of the world of hit singles and radio smashes, the Gallagher-led band would often surprise with their album tracks and B-sides, using them to experiment and...

Liam Gallagher calls brother Noel a 'gobs***e' for still playing Oasis songs live. The sibling rivals released seven albums under the banner of the Britpop icons before going their separate ways and now the 'Beady Eye' singer has blasted his brother for still performing the band's hits live with new project High Flying Birds. He told NME magazine: 'Noel does it quite a bit. It's schizophrenic. 'If you want to play Oasis songs put the band back and stop being a gobs***e ... He hasn't got the balls to go and do High Flying Birds on his own, like we did.' When the band split in 2009, Liam formed Beady Eye with fellow ex-Oasis members Gem Archer, Andy Bell and...

The year 2013 has started moderately well with the release of some quality albums from bands such as Foals, The Courteeners and Frightened Rabbit. But we are still left waiting for that one album that truly blows everything else out of the water – that one album you can’t wait to hear live at a gig or festival. The answer to these hopes may well be answered in the Spring as four big artist’s gear up to release new records.
With the majority of these artist’s already giving us tasters of their forth coming releases, by allowing us to hear one or two songs from their albums (which can be heard further on in the article), it gives us even more reason to be excited.

Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher surprised fans when his band Beady Eye included two Oasis songs in their set Thursday night. This is the first time Gallagher has publicly played tracks from the Oasis catalog since the band's infamous split in 2009.
Beady Eye -- comprised of former Oasis band members Liam, Gem Archer, Andy Bellplayed and rounded by drummer Chris Sharrock -- performed two Noel Gallagher-penned tracks, "Rock 'N' Roll Star" and "Morning Glory." The band also premiered a new song, written by Liam, titled, "The World's Not Set in Stone."
Earlier this year, Gallagher announced his intention to start singing Oasis material again. "I feel they're just as much my songs as they are Noel's. And if people don't like it, go to the bar or f--k off," he told Xfm. "If they do like it, jump up and down, let's have a good time."

'It's not fair for me to compare mine to theirs. I know you want me to say I danced around on a copy of their album or that I held them in each hand and had a mock fight between them but I genuinely don't give a s**t about.

Liam Gallagher’s post-Oasis project, Beady Eye, is more notable for what it isn’t than for what it is. The band’s debut, Different Gear Still Speeding, isn’t lacking the likeably dumb, bombastic arena-rock songs that distinguished Gallagher’s former band. In fact, Different Gear isn’t all that different from Oasis’ late-period albums, which suggests that Liam—aided by former Oasis members Andy Bell and Gem Archer—isn’t suffering in the absence of his prodigal musical partner and brother Noel. In a word, Different Gear isn’t bad. But is it good? At times, yes, though ...

Beady Eye have suggested they have "forgiven" Noel Gallagher. The "Bring the Light" rockers, made up of former Oasis band mates Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock, explained "life is too short" not to move on from their public spat with their former guitarist, who is Liam's brother.
"People might well hear it that way if they want. I'm well aware of that," Andy, who wrote the song, said when asked if the lyrics of "Kill for a Dream", which feature the lines "Life's too short not to forgive/ You can carry regrets but they won't let you live", are about Noel. "Look, whoever it's directed to, it's a true statement. Life really is too short not to forgive."

The singer formed Beady Eye with Oasis guitarist Gem Archer and bass player Andy Bell after the rockers split in 2009.

Beady Eye, photographed by Steve Gullick. Beady Eye were born on August 28, 2009, the night Oasis died. Backstage at Paris’s annual Rock en Seine festival, Noel and Liam Gallagher, bedeviling each other since childhood, entered into what would prove their final altercation (involving the smashing of Liam’s prize guitar and a hastily released statement from Noel explaining, “I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer”). Noel will eventually issue his solo debut, but it’s the younger Liam who is firing first. Britpop’s prettiest star (last year voted the Greatest Frontman of All Time by Q magazine, over James Brown, Mick Jagger, Freddie Mercury, and Bono) recently launched Pretty Green, his own fashion line (inspired by classic British Mod-gear of the early 60s) and on March 1 will release Different Gear, Still Speeding, by his new group Beady Eye (featuring former Oasis guitarist Gem Archer,...

Liam Gallagher says Oasis weren't "groundbreaking". The singer accepts his former band didn't push themselves enough creatively, despite becoming one of the biggest groups in the world before their demise in August 2009, when his guitarist brother Noel Gallagher quit.
"Oasis weren't groundbreaking, it had all been done before," he said. "There are a few songs on our [Beady Eye's] album which will remind people of Oasis ... and why not? It was a good f***ing band. But you'll hear some new bits."
Since the end of the "Wonderwall" hitmakers, Liam has formed new group Beady Eye with his former Oasis band mates Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock.

Amid a psychedelic wash, we watch the group—composed of Liam Gallagher, Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock— in full shoegazer mode, complete with wearing sunglasses to perform in the dark. It’s 1999 all over again. But what about the song? With its cascading, ominous guitar lines, straight-ahead drumming and Gallagher’s world-weary vocal delivery “Four-Letter Word” is straight out a James Bond movie (in fact, it would make a great theme with the "Nothing ever lasts...

Beady Eye are looking forward to being "massive" in 2011. The group, consisting of the former members of Oasis, Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock, will release their new album, "Different Gear, Still Speeding" in February and are expecting instant chart success.
"I think we're going to be f***ing big, man," Liam said. There's no point saying, 'Oh we might be kind of big,' otherwise what's the point? Because I know how good we are and I know how good we're gonna be. We're gonna be f***ing massive. Come back to us in a couple of years if I'm wrong and then fair play to you but."
The outspoken rocker, who formed the group after his brother Noel Gallagher quit Oasis in August 2009, believes the world is desperate for a group like Beady Eye because there have been so many uninspiring new rock bands in the last decade.

Liam Gallagher thinks Beady Eye's debut album is as good as Oasis' "Definitely Maybe". The "Bring the Light" singer said he reckons his new band's "Different Gear, Still Speeding" can easily match the genre defining 1994 debut recorded by his former band, which propelled them to superstar status.
He told NME magazine, "The musicians are better than Oasis at the time of 'Definitely Maybe', without a doubt. I'm singing as well as I ever have." He added the album is "up there, no question" with "Definitely Maybe" and declared the band are "gonna be f***ing massive".
Beady Eye formed on the ashes of Oasis, who split after Liam fell out with his brother, the band's main songwriter, Noel Gallagher last summer, and sees Liam joined by ex-Oasis men Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock.
Gem has previously described recording their debut album with producer Steve Lillywhite, who has previously worked with The Rolling Stones.

Brother Liam and Noel Gallagher very publicly broke up their band Oasis last year, and now we've finally arrived at the rebound part of the relationship. Liam's new project Beady Eye, to be more exact, took custody of his ex's friends for a new song, "Bring the Light," available as a free download. Gem Archer, Chris Sharrock and Andy Bell are all on board for the piano-led rocker, which takes on a '50s vibe with some lady-backers and the typical late-'90s British garage rock from Gallagher that made Oasis so famous. "Baby come on," Gallagher vamps at the end, perhaps urging...

Liam Gallagher thinks his brother Noel is the most "overrated" man of all time. The singer - whose older sibling quit the super-group last August after tensions and feuding between the pair became intolerable - believes his brother is completely over-hyped. Discussing who he thought was the most overrated man in history, Liam told Esquire magazine: "Has to be Noel Gallagher." Liam, 37, is currently working on new material with his ex-Oasis bandmates Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock, while 42-year-old Noel - who wrote the majority of Oasis' biggest hits - is preparing to launch a solo career. Although they can no longer work together, Liam believes Oasis were successful because they just concentrated on making great music.

British rocker Liam Gallagher is convinced his band Oasis should have split long before his explosive fight with brother Noel Gallagher in summer 2009. Oasis broke up in August 2009 following a furious argument between the siblings backstage at a gig in France.
And Liam, who is planning to release music with his former bandmates bassist Andy Bell and guitarist Gem Archer, is pleased he can concentrate on a new album to help him get over the split. He says, "I think it's a good thing, in hindsight. If I weren't keeping myself busy I'd be sitting around sort of picking at things and being bitter."
"But now that things are going on, I think it's a good thing. Maybe we should have done it earlier but I still think we could have made some great music, but we couldn't have got any bigger."...

The singer is still furious with his sibling after he walked out on Oasis in August, and insists if Noel tries to ask him for a reunion he will ignore his pleas.
Liam fumed: “I'm sure Noel thinks, ‘I'll do my solo career and if it doesn't f***ing pan out the way it's expected to pan out, then I'll give our kid a ring because he will be desperate and he'll do anything for Oasis. "Well, I'll say this, ‘He's got another f***ing think coming.’ If he thinks he can ring me up at any given stage in his f***ing lifetime, I'll be busy. I'll always be busy when he rings me up." Liam has also vowed to never play any of Noel’s Oasis songs - which include most of the band’s classic songs such as ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’, ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Live Forever’ - live ever again.
