Oasis Shockwaves: Liam Gallagher Hints 2027 Could Be Band's 'Last' Farewell

The highly anticipated reunion of rock band Oasis continues to be a subject of intense speculation, largely fueled by its outspoken frontman, Liam Gallagher. Known for his provocative statements, Gallagher recently stirred the pot regarding the group's future, just under two weeks after the announcement of their second run of reunion shows slated for 2027.

On Wednesday, September 23, a fan's claim that Gallagher once said the current series of performances isn't a farewell tour elicited a characteristic response. Gallagher affirmed, “It isn’t a farewell tour but it still could be our last,” offering no further elaboration. This comment cast a shadow of uncertainty over the band's long-term prospects, echoing a pattern of guarded statements from both Gallagher brothers.

The band's initial run famously concluded in 2009, leading to a nearly 15-year period where Liam and guitarist/songwriter Noel reportedly did not speak. Their reunion in 2025 ignited widespread hopes for a more permanent comeback, marked by a sold-out, rapturously received world tour. Despite the visible solidarity and seemingly eased rapport between the brothers during the tour and as depicted in the new documentary, “Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger,” neither sibling appears eager to commit beyond the scheduled shows.

Noel Gallagher, in an interview with his favorite U.K. sports chat show, talkSPORT, last week, shed light on the genesis of the 2027 tour. He revealed that the decision to hit the road again came after the second Wembley show on July 26, 2025. Noel stated, “Nobody really knew what was going to happen … or how it was going to go. So we did Cardiff and Manchester, then by the time we got to Wembley, somebody said ‘Well, you know?’ and it was decided we were going to do it.”

However, when pressed on whether he wished to continue the revived touring schedule or other Oasis-related activities, Noel's response was a noncommittal “I dunno.” He also firmly reiterated Liam's earlier statements that the 2027 shows would not feature any new music, which would be the band's first since their 2008 album, “Dig Out Your Soul.” Noel stated flatly, “There won’t be any new music, no,” and when asked to elaborate, simply repeated, “no.”

Liam Gallagher had previously articulated his own reluctance to record a new album in July, responding to a fan's plea by expressing a fear of criticism. He stated, “NO I’m just not prepared for the criticism if it doesn’t sell 100 million copies in the 1st hour cure bad breath and constipation for the nation if it doesn’t turn back time for Cher and some other s–t let’s just to some gigs and be happy thank you.”

Adding to the upcoming Live ’27 tour schedule, Oasis recently announced a handful of additional shows. These include a third night at Munich’s Allianz Arena (July 6), a third at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico (July 26), and fifth and sixth performances at Knebworth House in Stevenage, England (September 25, 26). The expanded tour now comprises 42 stops, surpassing the initial reunion tour by one show.
