Oasis Announcement Teased, Fans Brace For Potential Reunion
Oasis fans are looking ahead with excitement and might finally get what they’ve wanted for years: A reunion.
The band’s social media channels shared the brief video below with the date August 27, 2024 centered in their logo. The video then glitches out and shows “8 AM” in logo.
Ultimate Classic Rock notes that Liam Gallagher closed out the Reading Festival last night (August 25) by performing Oasis’ classic debut album, Definitely Maybe, in its entirety. This set also had Liam perform “Half the World Away” and preface it by saying, “I wanna dedicate this song to Noel f—ing Gallagher.” On top of that, the same short video teasing an Oasis announcement above also played near the end of Liam’s Reading Festival set.
Of course, if Noel and Liam Gallagher actually reunite under the Oasis name, it will be one of the most surprising reunions in the rock world. Even when Oasis was at the height of their popularity, the brothers famously rarely got along. Noel quit Oasis in 2009, and he and Liam have continued with their respective careers for the past 15 years.
In recent years, Liam has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to mildly harass Noel into some sort of reunion. One notable time was at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Liam, with sincerity and tons of profanity, wrote, “Listen, seriously…a lot of people think I’m a c-nt, and I am a good looking c-nt, but once this is put to bed, we need to get Oasis back for a one-off gig, right, for charity. C’mon, Noel. We can then go back to our amazing solo careers. C’mon, you know.”
Liam then sent out a follow-up tweet either calling out other bands to reunite or pitching those bands to reunite with Oasis for a massive festival-type concert. “All these miserable f-cking c-nts in bands who think they’re too cool for school. The Jam? C’mon, [Paul] Weller. The Smiths? C’mon, [Johnny] Marr. Oasis? C’mon, Noel. What a gig. And The Cheeky Girls. What a f-cking lineup. C’mon, you know.”
An Oasis reunion has the potential to be brilliant, a total mess or maybe a little bit of both. Regardless, the idea of the Gallaghers joining forces again is exciting for their massive fan base and for rock, itself. If we’re all being honest with ourselves, seeing those two c-nts together on stage again has the potential to be the biggest rock story of 2024. Fans have waited over a decade for something like this, and now, in less than 24 hours, they might finally get what they’ve wanted.
