Chris Evans has sparked a meltdown amongst Oasis fans after appearing to suggest that the band will be releasing news relating to the future of the group
Oasis fans are in meltdown after Chris Evans hinted at huge news from the band. Millions of fans across the world have been riding a supersonic high since once warring brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher hit the road for the first time in 16 years, earlier this year.
Their mammoth Oasis Live ’25 tour kicked off in Cardiff, before travelling to Manchester, Edinburgh, London, California, New Jersey, Mexico, Los Angeles and Toronto. In just a matter of weeks, they will be heading Down Under for their shows in Melbourne and their final show, November 8, in Sydney.
However, many fans believe that the mighty Manchester band will be continuing to ride the wave of success well into next year, and that has been spearheaded by radio DJ Chris. During his Thursday morning breakfast slot on Virgin Radio, he hinted that there would be major news about the band.
The news instantly spread like wildfire, causing the official Oasis website to completely crash and display an Error 44 warning. Fans have since taken to a fan page to share their excitement, with one writing: “Don’t know if anyone else heard it but Chris Evans has said on his breakfast show this morning that there’s Oasis news coming today.
“He’s just said again it’s big news for 2026.” A second penned: “I’m going to be stuck refreshing the web page now for the rest of the day but won’t give up trying. I made it to Knebworth but never managed tickets this year despite hours of trying.” “Etihad June, between the Take That gigs… ITS ON,” exclaimed another.
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “Europe 2026!” Many fans have noticed that there are ten days between Take That’s performance at the Etihad on June 21 and their final show on July 1, instantly sparking speculation that Oasis could perform at their home stadium between the shows.
Elsewhere, others believe that the band will also be announcing a string of dates at Knebworth Park, which would mark 30 years since their record-breaking shows on August 10 and 11, 1996, at the iconic venue. At the time, 250,000 people attended the shows, with a further 2.5 million attempting to obtain tickets.
However, the Mirror understands that there will be no future shows from Oasis and their current tour is the only chance to see the band perform. Liam, however, has also joined in on the speculation that more dates will be announced.
On Wednesday, the rocker took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to drop a string of clues to his fans. In view of his 3.8 million followers on the platform, he said: “Big announcement coming soon keep your eyes peeled.” A follow up message read: “Ready.”
Liam went on to tweet: “Shall I give you another 5 mins,” before following up with: “Rite this is it we’re going in [sic].” However, his message turned out to be: “I am the f**king b******s.” Days prior, he also shared a message on social media, allegedly referencing more shows.
While he was quick to remove his post, fans had already screenshotted Liam’s tweet. He wrote in Roman numerals: “MMXXV11.” Fans quickly shared their theories as one said: “It was 2025 in roman numerals with an 11 after it, so I’d imagine it’s an announcement in November 2025.” Another added: “Maybe it’s the year we’ll get a new album.
“There’s definitely something going on next year though as he’s been saying ‘see you next year’ multiple times this tour, and Noel trying to change the subject when being asked about Knebworth next year.”
During the performance at Wembley Stadium this weekend, Liam told the sold-out crowd: “I wanna thank you lot for keeping the faith and putting this band back on the f**king map. Champagne Supernova. See you next year!” However, the band will be re-releasing a 30th anniversary edition of their second album, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, which includes a new version of Acquiesce.
Elsewhere, an Oasis Live ’25 Opus book has been announced, revealing reunion pictures as well as pictures shot across the tour. Photographer Simon Emmett said: “Being chosen to photograph the top-secret Oasis reunion portraits was a real honour.
“As the only photographer to document it from the very start through to the end of the tour, it’s been a truly unique and privileged experience and insight. The extraordinary mania and positivity has been intoxicating. Much more than a band reunion, it’s been a real cultural movement.”
