After more than a decade since their last live performance, Oasis returns strongly to the world of music. The brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have confirmed that the band will be back on stage in 2025 with a tour that promises to be one of the major events of the year. This comeback not only includes concerts, but will also be documented in a film that will capture all the details behind their triumphant return.
The project will be directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, who previously worked on the successful “Meet Me in the Bathroom” and “Shut Up and Play the Hits.” Additionally, the film will be produced by Steven Knight, creator of “Peaky Blinders” and director of “Spencer.”
The confirmed lineup for the Oasis Live ’25 tour
After months of rumors and speculation, the lineup for the highly anticipated tour Oasis Live ’25 was finally leaked, sparking great excitement among fans. According to sources close to the band, confirmed by NME, the lineup will feature historic members of Oasis along with new members.
Among the confirmed members are bassist Andy Bell, who replaced Paul Guigsy McGuigan in 1999, guitarist Gem Archer, and founding member Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs. The main surprise in this lineup is the inclusion of American drummer Joey Waronker, who is joining Oasis for the first time. Recognized for his work with renowned artists such as Beck, R.E.M., and Roger Waters, Waronker is a significant addition to the band and has caused quite a stir due to his involvement in projects like Atoms for Peace with Thom Yorke.
Liam Gallagher reacts to the leak of the lineup
After the lineup was leaked, Liam reacted on his social media questioning the veracity of the information published by NME. Through a post on X, the singer asked to know who had been the source of the leak and offered an exclusive interview to clarify the details of the tour. Despite the surprise, Liam made it clear that he was not so concerned about the lineup being revealed, but rather that the information had come from a “source close to the band and the tour”, which caused him “great concern”.
In addition, the leader of Oasis took the opportunity to make a joke about the band’s composition, mentioning characters like “Peppa Pig” on drums, “Bert and Ernie” on guitar and bass, and “Finger Bobs” on keyboards, maintaining the mystery surrounding the exact details of the lineup.
