Oasis Reunion Tease Sparks Excitement
The rumour mill is spinning furiously as fans eagerly anticipate a possible Oasis reunion. The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, have reignited hopes with a cryptic teaser on social media, leading to widespread speculation that the iconic Manchester rock band might be getting back together. This potential band announcement has sent fans across the UK into a frenzy.
The possibility of an Oasis reunion has been the subject of speculation ever since the band’s dramatic breakup in 2009, following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Despite their often public spats and the infamous fallout that led to the band’s dissolution, both Liam and Noel have occasionally dropped hints that they might one day reunite. To stay updated on the latest details, including official announcements and teasers, fans are eagerly following the Oasis Instagram page and checking their official website.
Adding fuel to the fire, a report from The Sunday Times has cited industry insiders claiming that the Gallagher brothers are set to perform a series of gigs next year, potentially including shows at London’s Wembley Stadium and Manchester’s Heaton Park. There’s even talk of a Glastonbury headline appearance, which would be a monumental return for the Britpop legends.
On Sunday, a short video clip was shared across the brothers’ platforms, displaying the date “27.08.24” in the distinctive Oasis font before flickering to reveal the time “8am.” This tantalising hint has sent Oasis fans into a frenzy, with many hoping it could signal the announcement of new tour dates or even a headline slot at Glastonbury.

On Sunday, as the excitement reached fever pitch, Liam Gallagher took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to fan the flames of speculation further. Responding to various rumours and fan queries, Liam hinted at upcoming announcements, saying, “Next Friday…” when asked about the reunion dates. During his headline performance at Reading Festival that same evening, he dedicated the Oasis classic “Half The World Away” to Noel, before sending out another nod to the band’s possible comeback by dedicating “Cigarettes & Alcohol” to those who “hate the band.”
As the night ended, the same teaser video clip appeared on the stage’s main screens, leaving fans with bated breath as they await the promised Tuesday announcement.
Oasis’ influence on British music and culture remains profound, and with 2024 marking 30 years since the release of their debut album Definitely Maybe, which helped catapult the Gallagher brothers to international fame, a reunion would undoubtedly be one of the most significant events in modern music history.
