Oasis at Wembley? Fans Worry Gallagher Feud Could End £400M Tour

The Gallagher brothers’ feud is one of the most iconic in music history. 

Since Oasis formed in 1991, Liam and Noel, aged 52 and 58 respectively, have caused controversy with their hedonism, iconic showbiz wars and raucous on-stage presence – all prior to their acrimionious split in 2009, which left fans bereft. 

After years of public animosity, Oasis lovers were overjoyed last year when they put their differences aside for a £400m, 41 date reunion tour, which kicked off in Cardiff last week ahead of shows in UK, Ireland, Australia, the US and Mexico. 

Despite delight over the return, concerns have arose among superfans that the warring siblings may not make it to their upcoming gigs – including Wembley later this month – thanks to seemingly dominant behaviour, different hotel stays and more. 

Fans, some of whom scandalously spent thousands on tickets, have taken to social media to voice their concerns over the band making it to their own dates, while bookies’ have also been taking bets on the likelihood of cancellation. 

All does not appear to be lost however, as Liam has shown his dedication by vowing to stay sober for the duration of the tour while ‘military style’ contingency plans have been laid to keep the duo separated while off-stage. 

Meanwhile, the pair’s body language on-stage has been considered by experts to show Noel looks ‘overwhelmed’ while Liam remains the ‘dominant’ presence.

FANS’ FEARS  

Fans voiced their concerns on X, with many hypothesising the tour would not see its end due to the brothers’ feelings towards one another. 

Users took to the site to pen: ‘Please finish the tour without fighting… The tour will be lucky to finish all dates [mark my words]… 

‘They still hate each other… Bet they don’t finish the tour… It’s not Oasis though, it’s the Liam and Noel show. I bet they don’t finish the tour.’

KEEP AWAY 

It has been reported that lengths have been taken to ensure the pair remain amiable – by working to keep them separate while not performing. 

The Gallaghers will reportedly be kept apart when not on stage in a ‘military style operation’ during their much-anticipated reunion tour.

There will be separate dressing rooms and transport to avoid a clash and resulting ‘PR and financial nightmare’.

BODY LANGUAGE 

Following Friday’s opening gig in Cardiff, body language expert Judi James spoke exclusively to MailOnline about the duo’s on-stage presence. 

Analysing the on-stage reunion, Judi stated that Liam was the ‘dominant’ one who was ‘firmly in control’, ‘instigating all the action’ as he led them on stage.

Despite Liam proudly ‘presenting’ his brother to the audience with an air of confidence, contrastingly, Judi observes, Noel appeared somewhat more trepidatious, suggesting he was ‘overwhelmed by the emotion of the moment.’ 

She told MailOnline: ‘It’s the body language details that are so important to the fans here as the Gallagher narrative arc is displayed to a breathless nation.

‘The walk-out ritual signals unity of course but the status and instigation signals are important. The glorious monochrome back view photo is intended to allow us to share the experience and see what they were seeing.’

Of Liam’s behaviour, she explained: ‘What we do see is Liam very firmly in control, instigating all the action. His arm is around Noel’s shoulders as though he’s the more dominant brother and as though he’s the one finally leading his brother back out to an adoring audience. 

‘His maracas are held high in a signal of celebratory victory and they even form a V-shape to add to that message of victory.

‘When they hold raised hands it’s actually Liam grabbing his brother’s wrist and holding it up, again as though presenting him proudly to the fans.’

Commenting on Noel’s conduct in comparison, Judi explained: ‘Noel cuts a very different figure here. Walking with his arms down at his sides, almost like a small child, his lip-clamp and his lowered eyes suggest he is overwhelmed by the emotion of the moment.’

OODS ON 

Bookmakers William Hill have led the way in taking bets on whether the brothers will manage to complete the tour. 

The website lists: ‘The stage is set and all eyes will be on the Principality Stadium for the opening night of the Oasis Live ’25 reunion tour but will the band manage to stick together for the entire run of concerts?

‘Punters expecting a clash between the Gallaghers can back the tour to end before the final 2025 date, scheduled for 23rd November in Sao Paolo, Brazil, at 4/1.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: ‘Whether Liam and Noel can keep their tempers in check in the coming months remains to be seen, and we’re 4/1 that they call time on their reunion before the final 2025 tour date in November.

‘However, the 1/6 about Oasis playing together next year suggests this reunion could be more than a short-term project.’

DEDICATION 

Despite concerns, the group do however appear determined to keep things running smoothly with sights to concluding the tour. 

It was revealed prior to the tour kicking off that Liam is planning not to booze during the shows after previously admitting he stopped drinking on stage after his erratic performance with Oasis at Wembley in 2000.

A source told The Sun: ‘Liam’s just returned from a boozy holiday and now plans to be in lock-down for the foreseeable to focus on getting fit for the tour.

‘He is planning on being sober ahead of and on tour with Oasis. He’s actually used cutting out booze to help him prepare and also to get through the shows before.’

As well as his focus on sobriety, the brothers spoke ambitiously about their capabilities while announcing the industry-shattering comeback.

In the video, which was released last year, Liam said: When we both come together, you have greatness’, while Noel sweetly stated:’I know my brother better than anybody else. This is it, this is happening.’ 

Despite their feud, sources claimed in PJ Harrison’s book In The Fall And Rise Of Oasis that the brothers ‘still really love each other’.

An insider also added that Liam was the one that made peace with Noel, explaining: ‘He’s a great one for making, you know, peace. He’s the one that will make the peace and bring things back together with people.’

In a post on X when he was asked who called first him or Noel, Liam replied: ‘I called him but don’t tell anyone as I don’t want folk thinking I’m a soft lad and stuffs keep it between me n you cheers x.’

Representatives declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.
