Liam Gallagher “ready” for World Cup ‘Wonderwall’ performance if England reach final

NME · 2 months ago

Liam Gallagher has indicated he would be willing to perform Oasis's 1995 hit 'Wonderwall' live at the FIFA World Cup final if England reach the last two, responding to a fan's suggestion on X with the words "We'll see, I'm ready." The track has become the unofficial anthem of England's 2026 campaign, with Harry Kane and his teammates gathering to sing it with supporters after matches, giving the song fresh cultural prominence during the tournament.

The singalongs followed England victories over Croatia, Panama, DR Congo and Mexico, the latter a 3-2 win during which Kane reportedly lost his voice and Jordan Henderson injured his wrist rushing to join in. 'Wonderwall' has seen a 50 per cent rise in UK Spotify streams thanks to the World Cup, and Noel Gallagher has backed it as England's anthem, saying the song "belongs to the people". England next face Norway on Saturday 11 July, after Norway beat Brazil 2-1. Separately, Oasis are marking a year since their 'Live '25' tour with a Steven Knight-directed documentary, Don't Look Back In Anger, due in cinemas and IMAX on 11 September, while rumours continue of a 2027 tour.
