The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is set to take place Saturday at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theatre, and Rolling Stone has confirmed that Oasis won’t be making an appearance to accept the award or perform.
This shouldn’t come as a big shock to Oasis fans, considering their glib reaction to the honor throughout the year and the fact that Noel Gallagher just announced that he’ll be 5,400 miles away from L.A. at Goldie’s EFG Jazz Festival at London’s Royal Festival Hall, marking his first performance as a solo act since Oasis reunited in 2025. But fans were still holding out hope that Liam Gallagher might cross the Atlantic for the event, where Oasis will be inducted alongside Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan.
When Oasis were first nominated in 2024, Liam Gallagher essentially rejected the honor before the voters even weighed in. “As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say: do me a favor and fuck off,” he told The Sunday Times. “It’s like putting me in the rap hall of fame, and I don’t want to be part of anything that mentally disturbed. Besides, I’ve done more for rock and roll than half of them clowns on that board, so it’s all a load of bollocks.”
They made it in the following year, likely helped by the enormous response to their reunion tour. By that point, the Gallagher brothers were no longer speaking to the press. But Liam did react on X. “Reverse psychology vibes in the area Oasis RnR hall of farmers I mean famers,” he wrote. “I wanna thank all the people who voted for us it’s a real honour ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I’d dream about 1 day being in the RnR hall of fame it’s true what they say anything is possible if you have a dream.”
In a series of follow-up posts, he was noncommittal about actually attending. “Well I was speaking to my mummy last night when the news broke,” he wrote, “and she thinks I may have been a little hasty with my perception of the organization she’s told me to stop being a dick and go to the awards and behave and you never know you might enjoy it.”
Liam and Noel Gallagher are being inducted alongside guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and Gem Archer, bassists Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan and Andy Bell, and drummers Tony McCarroll and Alan White. The current touring lineup includes Arthurs, Archer, and Bell. But they haven’t played with McGuigan, McCarroll, or White in many years. It’s unclear if any of the former members will be on hand or how the Hall of Fame will honor the group in their absence.
By not showing up at the Hall of Fame, Oasis join a long list of no-shows, including Paul McCartney, Van Morrison, Jerry Garcia, Levon Helm, David Bowie, Roger Waters, Grace Slick, Joni Mitchell, the Sex Pistols, Eddie Van Halen, and Axl Rose.
