Watch Noel Gallagher talk Oasis reunion and “compromise” of working with a sibling on ‘Chicken Shop Date’
Noel Gallagher discussed Oasis’ reunion, the challenge of working with a sibling and the band’s future during an appearance on the final series of Chicken Shop Date. He said the 2025 comeback felt right after rehearsals showed Oasis could sound as good as, or better than, before, and that working with a brother or sister requires compromise.
Gallagher joked that 16 years was the right gap before reviving something, referring to Oasis’ split and reunion tour. He also said he has tonnes of unreleased material, without specifying whether it is for Oasis, and reflected on how “Champagne Supernova” has gained new meaning for younger listeners. Oasis are due to play their sold-out Live ’27 tour next year, including six Knebworth concerts and an 11-night Manchester Etihad Stadium residency.
In short
- Noel Gallagher says Oasis’ reunion felt strong after rehearsals.
- He says sibling collaboration requires compromise.
- Oasis are scheduled for a major Live ’27 tour next year.
Explained simply
Oasis are a British rock band formed in Manchester in 1991, with brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher at its centre. Noel wrote many of the group’s best-known songs, including “Champagne Supernova”, while Liam became known as its lead singer.
The brothers’ disagreements were a major factor in Oasis splitting up in 2009. Their return brings together a band whose music has reached listeners across generations, and raises questions about how the siblings will work together and what comes next.
