How many times can Oasis fans let their hopes skyrocket before Liam Gallagher pops the balloon again? Apparently at least one more, because after months of wild speculation about a 2026 continuation of the reunion, Liam has logged on and shut it all down in classic Gallagher fashion.
A fan asked him on X if Oasis would tour in 2026. Liam didn’t tease. He didn’t dodge. He just replied with “NO,” and when someone questioned whether he was serious, he followed up with “I’m f***ing serious.” It felt like the digital equivalent of throwing a pint on the floor and walking off. The man commits.
His timing almost feels mischievous. Oasis have just wrapped, or are on the brink of wrapping, their massive Live ’25 reunion shows, their first performances together in about sixteen years. These concerts produced record ticket queues, stadium sellouts, and enough nostalgia to power the national grid. All of that hype had fans assuming 2026 was a done deal. After all, if a band can sell out half the planet, why stop now?
Liam’s public answer is that he doesn’t control everything. In other posts he said he will absolutely be touring next year and the year after, but he added that he is “not sure yet if it’ll be with Oasis.” He has also mentioned that if it were entirely up to him, they would keep the reunion rolling, but the band has to sit down and make decisions together. Translation: the Gallaghers might be back onstage, but a Gallagher is still going to Gallagher.
This tug of war has been brewing all year. Management hinted early on that Live ’25 was a one time event, and Liam immediately pushed back, saying decisions about Oasis come from him and Noel, not from press releases. Now his “no 2026 tour” verdict hits harder because it is coming straight from him and not filtered through the business side. You can almost hear Noel somewhere offstage raising an eyebrow.
Liam has not been subtle about the behind the scenes tension. He has posted that he “knows things you don’t know,” admitted that he got some “tuts and raised eyebrows” over telling crowds “see you next year,” and reminded fans that he cannot “magic up a tour.” Basically, there is clearly internal sorting happening, and not even the loudest Gallagher can bulldoze through it.
For fans who skipped the 2025 reunion thinking they could catch the next round, this news stings. The door on 2026 appears closed, at least for now. But Liam did toss out a playful “maybe” when asked about 2027, so hope is not dead. It is just limping around the driveway like a drunken lad after a festival.
One thing is certain. Even if Oasis take a breather, Liam is not disappearing. He promised people will “see me next year and the year after,” which means solo tours, side projects or whatever Gallagher-flavored chaos he feels like serving.
So where does this leave Oasis? Pretty much where they always are. Legendary songs, giant crowds, complicated brothers, and a future that depends on whether the Gallaghers can agree on something longer than a chorus. Until then, if you missed Live ’25, feel free to look back in anger.
