Noel Gallagher responds to fan in crowd who asks about Oasis reunion
Noel Gallagher has responded to a fan in the crowd at Y Not Festival who asked him about the possibility of an Oasis reunion.
During the final stop of Gallagher’s High Flying Birds tour in which he headlined the Derbyshire festival this past Sunday (August 4), the musician responded to a fan’s question about Oasis potentially reuniting within the next couple of years.
“When are we going to see you? In 2025 or 2026? The answer is neither,” the singer told the fan with his response earning him jokey boos from the Y Not crowd. “I’ll take the fact that you’re booing as a fucking compliment!”

He continued: “Well, this is the last night of our tour tonight… We’ve been on tour for over a year so we’re sick of the sight of each other. So, we need to get away from it for a while. I don’t know if we’re gonna tour again, I’ve got no idea. But we will… We’ve got to make a record first. We’ve gotta write one.”
Concluding his response, Gallagher said: “We’ve gotta write one, gotta make one… do all that fucking shit. We’ve gotta go spend some money. I have no idea, I dunno but you’ll be the first to know. Right, we’re all Oasis fans, right? Buckle up,” before jumping into the iconic band’s 1997 B-side ‘Going Nowhere’.
Gene Gallagher – Noel’s nephew and Liam Gallagher’s son – previously weighed in on the Oasis debate, and explained in a new interview that his dad wants the reunion to come to fruition.
“I get the feeling my dad wants it, too. Let’s hope it happens. It’s easier to speak about after a couple of pints,” the guitarist and songwriter said during a discussion with The Times.
He also denied that he had been sworn to secrecy about the future plans and explained that he’d like to see it take place as much as the next fan.
“It’s nothing to do with me…I mean, will they? I don’t know. I would love it but it’s so beyond my control,” he added, also confirming the he and Noel’s daughter Anaïs have joked about staging an intervention for the brothers, but the two were “too smart for that”.
Rumours about an Oasis reunion came to a head earlier this summer, when Liam embarked on his ‘Definitely Maybe’ anniversary shows, and speculation emerged that Noel would join him on stage.
Before the tour kicked off, Liam shared that Noel turned down an opportunity to reunite for the shows, and even suggested that he would “send him a box of chocolates” as an apology for being “really mean” to him around the time of Oasis’ break-up in 2009.
More recently, Liam told his audience that Noel was “still playing hard to get” regarding a comeback for the band, and also replied to a fan who asked if a reunion of the band is happening next year.
The latter came as the Daily Mirror shared an exclusive report, claiming that the brothers had apparently booked dates for an Oasis reunion at Wembley Stadium this past July, before plans ultimately fell through.
Speculation about a reformation spans much further back than that though. For instance, speaking to NME in 2020, Liam said an Oasis reunion was “gonna happen very fucking soon”, and Noel revealed in early 2023 that he would “never say never” to the idea.
A dampener was soon put on any hopes though, as LG subsequently argued that his older brother had “done a lot of damage to Oasis as a brand”, and Noel claimed that his brother was too much of a “coward” to follow through with the idea, later accusing Liam of trying to “rewrite history” regarding Oasis’ “dreadful” final year together.
Since then, Noel discussed the possibility of an Oasis comeback during an interview with NME, adding that the reason why it hasn’t happened yet was because there had “never really been a serious offer about ‘The Big O’ getting back together”.
In other news, Noel recently addressed a fan at one of his shows who claimed he can sing like Liam and responded with: “No one quite sounds like ‘r kid”.
The interaction between the singer and the show attendee came a day after the frontman paused one of his gigs to roast a musician in the crowd over his haircut.
