Beloved Britpop group Oasis may finally be having a reunion.
A short clip has been uploaded to Oasis’ official X and Instagram accounts. It displays a date, 27.08.24, and an announcement time of 8 am (no time zone is mentioned). If the "Wonderwall" band reunites, it would be the first time Oasis have played together in 15 years, following relentless feuding between Liam and Noel Gallagher.

On August 24, The Sunday Times claimed, according to “industry insiders,” Oasis would reunite in 2025 for a 10-night headlining run at London’s Wembley Stadium and additional concerts at Heaton Park in Manchester (the band’s hometown).
With fans reacting to those rumors on X, Liam Gallagher replied with statements like “News to me,” “I know nothing,” and “Your scared how do you think I feel.” One X user then called Manchester’s Heaton Park “a terrible venue,” and Gallagher responded, “See you down the front you big fanny.” During his Reading Festival set on Friday evening (August 23), he also dedicated his performance of “Half the World Away” to “Noel f—ng Gallagher.”
Oasis’ final 2009 lineup included Liam and Noel Gallagher, guitarist Gem Archer, and bassist Andy Bell. That same year, the two brothers got into a heated argument that eventually boiled over into a last-minute cancellation of their scheduled performance at the French festival Rock en Seine mere hours before Oasis were slated to play. “It is with some sadness and great relief...I quit Oasis tonight,” Noel Gallagher wrote in a statement on the band’s website that same evening. “People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”
Rumors of an Oasis reunion have swirled for years, but nothing has stuck. Previously, Noel Gallagher said he would be open to returning to the band for 100 million British pounds ($135 million USD), prompting Liam to claim he would join an Oasis reunion for free.
All of this potential reunion activity lines up with the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ landmark debut album, Definitely Maybe. The special reissue of that LP is set to be released later this week on August 30.
