Oasis have been promised a £50million payout to reform and embark on a world tour, while Liam Gallagher appears to confirm a reunion.
The exorbitant sum is said to have convinced warring brothers Noel and Liam to bury the hatchet 15 years after their last appearance together on stage.
Their contentious relationship came to a head in 2009 after a backstage row in Paris led to Noel, 57, quitting the band.
In recent years, Liam, 51, has been keen to make peace with his brother and reform the iconic Britpop band, but his older brother has thrown cold water on the idea.
But following Noel’s £20million divorce from ex-wife Sara MacDonald last year, the elder Gallagher is said to have become convinced of the financial merits of reuniting the band for dates at Glastonbury and Wembley Stadium.
Oasis have been promised a £50million payout to reform and embark on a world tour, while Liam Gallagher appears to confirm a reunion.
This comes as Liam sent Oasis fans into a frenzy as he appeared to confirm the Don’t Look Back In Anger singers will tour the country next year.
Asked on X, formerly Twitter, about Oasis’ planned shows, Liam wrote: “See you up front.”
She later told her 3.6 million followers on the platform: “I never liked that word EX.”
Despite the easing of tensions between them, the younger Gallagher couldn’t help but poke fun at his brother. When asked what he would say to Noel when they returned to the stage, he said: “Keep going.”
The tweets come after reports that the warring brothers have finally put aside their differences with concerts scheduled for 2025 at Glastonbury, Heaton Park in Manchester and a 10-day run at Wembley Stadium.
The tour is expected to include UK dates at Glastonbury Festival and stadiums including Wembley, Twickenham and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as well as a string of dates at Liam and Noel Gallagher’s beloved Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City football club.
Two major promoters, SJM Concerts and Live Nation, are known to be in the running to secure the tour, which is expected to include dates across Europe and the United States.
As revealed by the Mail on Sunday, Glastonbury has informed the band that a headline slot at next summer’s festival has been “left free” for Oasis in the increasingly likely event that the band confirm a reunion.

A music industry source said a potential ten-night run at Wembley Stadium next summer, beating the eight-night record recently set by Taylor Swift, would be a “tough ask” at this stage of the year with bookings at the iconic London venue already close to full.
“There will be a number of dates at Wembley if the Oasis tour goes ahead, but it’s a bit late to confirm a 10-date run now,” a music industry source said.
“Instead, the tour is likely to extend to other major stadiums in London and Manchester. Heaton Park is another possibility there, as is a repeat of Liam Gallagher’s most recent Knebworth concerts.”
A video was released on Thursday to mark the 30th anniversary of Definitely Maybe, Oasis’ debut album.
Despite the easing of tensions between them, Liam couldn’t resist poking fun at his brother. When asked what he would say to Noel when they returned to the stage, he said: “Keep it up.”
In the video, Noel, who previously said ‘I liked my mum until she gave birth to Liam’, was unusually complimentary about his little brother.
He said, “When I sang a song, it sounded good. When he sang it, it sounded great.”
Noel added: “I can’t sing Cigarettes & Alcohol, Rock’n’Roll Star and all that. I don’t have the same attitude as him.”
“My voice is half Guinness on a Tuesday, no big deal. Liam’s is ten shots of tequila on a Friday.”
