In much the same way that Oasis spent more than a decade and a half swearing that they would never play together again, now it seems like they can’t wait to go back out on the road for another run. The group wrapped up their massive Live ’25 reunion tour in Brazil on Sunday (Nov. 23) after playing 41 sold-out shows on five continents.
The first gigs in 16 years from formerly battling brothers singer Liam Gallagher and guitarist/songwriter Noel Gallagher were rapturously received and left fans begging for more. So it’s been a bit of a roller-coaster ride trying to figure out if there actually are additional shows in the offing. While the band has not officially announced any 2026 plans, Liam has been dropping Easter eggs that have begged more questions than they’ve answered.
Earlier this month he wrote “I know things you don’t” on X after earlier teasing that “it’s not even half time yet,” before admitting that there was a “few tuts and raised eyebrows” when he’d earlier told fans that he would see them next year. And then he was more succinct when a commenter asked for just one word on a potential 2026 tour: “No,” he answered.
That definitive shutdown seemed to be confirmed on Tuesday (Nov. 25) when the band posted a series of pics from the tour with the message “there will now be a pause for a period of reflection.”
And then Liam eased the door open a bit, again.
Responding to a number of X comments pressing him on when Oasis will tour again and if the first swing’s rigid setlist might loosen up the next time around, Liam spread a little holiday joy with another seeming hint of what’s to come. “There’s loads more classics we need to play for you when we go out again I mean happy Christmas,” Gallagher wrote on Tuesday.
When one of them proposed an alternate setlist with some of the favorites that were missing the first time around, Gallagher gave a thumbs up to a few of the ideas, writing, “Defo doing ‘Hindu Times’ ‘Colombia’ and ‘Go let it out’ I mean happy Christmas,” he said.
The hits kept coming, as a fan speculated that they felt like “a new album is coming and you’re just hiding it really well.” Liam wasn’t quite as jovial about that one, responding, “It’s not I honestly do t see the point it won’t be as good as the old stuff im quite happy singing the old stuff I’m not 1 of those WANKERS that need to keep pushing it forward or sideways or backwards in some cases NOSTALGIA forever.”
In case you missed his point, he added, “New music is for WANKERS.”
So, to recap: absolutely no new music, a definitely maybe setlist shakeup and more dates for sure, unless not.
