Oasis fans have been sent into a frenzy by new reports that Liam and Noel Gallagher are set to reunite for Glastonbury headliners, as well as Wembley gigs in 2025.
Glastonbury bosses are hoping to lure the feuding brothers to reform their rock band Oasis in time to headline the event next summer.
The Mail on Sunday has learned that the Gallagher brothers have been told bosses would love them to headline the 2025 music festival following criticism over this year’s festival headliners. Coldplay headlined for the fifth time.
Organisers of next year’s event at Worthy Farm, Somerset, are determined to secure big new names for headline slots. Music industry sources told the Mail on Sunday that an Oasis reunion now looks “more feasible than it has for years”.
And fans couldn’t be happier, as X wrote about their excitement over the weekend, with many of their middle-aged fans joking that they’ll need to arrange childcare as soon as possible so they can get to Glastonbury to see them.

Glastonbury bosses are hoping to lure brothers Liam (seen) and Noel Gallagher to reform their rock band Oasis in time to headline the event next summer.
One said on social media: “I felt like I’ve always been on the cards since Noel’s divorce. I haven’t been to Glastonbury for two years (thanks Rowan) so come back when Oasis play, it could be right up there with Macca for me.
Others said: ‘The Oasis reunion will coincide with the birth of my son.’
‘I’m very sceptical about Oasis reunion rumours, but this time something seems different. Seeing them live together in my lifetime would be amazing. Please…’,
‘wdym oasis meeting’,
‘Oasis reunion announcement? @liamgallagher Let’s go!’
“The Oasis reunion is a done deal, I’m told.”
‘Oasis reunion causes one particular white guy (me) to make incredibly irresponsible financial decisions.’
‘wooooooooow oasis meeting.’,
‘A REAL OASIS REUNION?’
Adding fuel to the rumour mill, Liam recently responded to some tweets on X about the reunion. One user wrote: “Heaton Park is a terrible venue for gigs,” to which the frontman replied: “See you there you big fucker.”
Another fan commented: “This will last about five seconds,” with Liam adding: “They have a crystal ball, f***ing bitches.”

A source said on Sunday: “All the speculation surrounding this reunion may be getting a little tiresome, but there’s a genuine feeling that next summer’s Glastonbury will be too big an attraction for Liam and Noel to turn down.”
“They have already been informed of their position for next summer. Now it’s all up to them.”
The Manchester band went their separate ways in 2009 following a tumultuous relationship between the brothers.
They are still not on speaking terms, but there has been repeated speculation about reunions in the years since, and Oasis fans were sent into a frenzy after the band’s official Instagram page posted a cryptic video last May showing an aerial shot of a large property on the bank of a river with muffled music playing in the background.
One of the previous obstacles had been a bitter split between Liam and Sara Macdonald, Noel’s ex-wife.
Sara and Noel divorced last year, which also helped ease tensions between the two siblings.
Meanwhile, Liam has been enjoying huge live success with his own band, but the highlight has been a series of sold-out concerts performing songs from his debut album Definitely Maybe, released in 1994.
His brother continued with his own band, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, which has its own considerable fan base.
However, Glastonbury officials may have to convince Noel, who is a regular fan and was there this year but says that has changed in recent years.
He said: ‘That place is getting a little bit more progressive now, and a little bit more preachy and a little bit pretentious.
“I don’t like the music: little idiots waving flags and making political statements, and bands coming on stage and saying, ‘Guys, isn’t war terrible? We’re going to boo the war. Fuck the conservatives,’ and all that. It’s like, look, play your fucking songs and get out.”
Glastonbury organisers are also keen to secure American rap legend Eminem for a headline slot.
