New book says Liam Gallagher has patched things up with Noel and the pair may continue live tour well into 2026
A new Oasis book says Liam Gallagher was the peacemaker ahead of the reunion tour and whatever their past rows and public spats ultimately the Gallagher brothers “still really love each other”.
Liam and Noel will head out on the road in less than two months’ time in one of the most highly anticipated music tours the world has ever seen. Demand for tickets in the UK was unprecedented and the build up to the first show in Cardiff in July has begun amongst fans trying to guess the set list.
In The Fall and Rise of Oasis by PJ Harrison, the author quotes an industry insider from Oasis music label Creation discussing the reunion tour and the Gallaghers patching up their differences.
She said: “It doesn’t matter what the wives or the girlfriends say or what anyone else says. You will never understand the dynamic of those two boys. Ultimately, you do still really love each other.”
The insider also says Liam was the one that made peace with Noel in order for the reunion tour to happen: “He’s a great one for making, you know, peace. He’s the one that will make the peace and bring things back together with people.”
Liam has previously said he made the first move. Asked on X, formerly twitter, who called first him or Noel, Liam replied: “I called him but don’t tell anyone as I don’t want folk thinking I’m a soft lad and stuffs keep it between me n you cheers x.”
The reply laced with humour was typical of Liam’s responses on social media.
PJ Harrison managed bands who went on tour with Oasis so spent time on the road with them two decades ago.
He says towards the end of that time, a month before the band split up in 2009, Liam had moaned they were doing “the same f**kin’ show every night. It’s boring man.”
It was only weeks later that was no longer a problem as Noel quit the band and Liam would form Beady Eye and then have a solo career. Noel has also toured with his High Flying Birds band, but now the pair are back together.
Harrison suggests the band will continue to tour in 2026 and play major festivals if the brothers can “resist the urge to unpick old scars” this year.
Oasis are due to begin rehearsals for their tour this month, with Liam the last piece in the puzzle to join up ahead of a Summer of giant gigs. His vocals will be rested in some sessions, with his singing added into later rehearsal dates.
Liam and Noel are bringing in newcomer Joey Waronker on drums alongside more established former Oasis band members on guitars.
The full line up is expected to be Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker.
Noel and Liam will walk on stage for the first time together since the band split in 2009 on July 4 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
The shows will also feature special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast, who are friends up the band.
