Oasis fans have been calling for the band to reunite for many years now, and it seems it may finally be happening.
The band, made up of feuding brothers Noel, 57, and Liam Gallagher, 51, first formed in 1991 in Manchester and was one of the most internationally successful groups before their split in 2009.
While both Noel and Liam have gone on to have successful solo careers, their bitter rift continues and appears to be the only obstacle to an Oasis reunion.
However, in the past 12 months, there have been many hints that the iconic 90s band could be making a comeback, with the Mail on Sunday reporting that they could even be at Glastonbury 2025.
Speaking to the news outlet, industry insiders have revealed that the annual event is determined to secure some big names for next year’s headliners and has its sights set on Oasis.
One insider said a long-awaited reunion is ‘more doable than it has been for years’, as tensions between the brothers have eased following Noel’s split from his ex-wife, Sara MacDonald, with whom Liam had a tense relationship.
While it’s understood the Gallaghers still don’t speak to each other, a source told the publication, ‘All the speculation about this reunion can get a bit tiresome. But there’s a genuine feeling that next summer’s Glastonbury will be too much of an attraction for Liam and Noel to turn down.
‘They have been made aware of the headline slot that’s open for them next summer. Now it’s all down to them.’
Noel often attends the five-day festival in Somerset and recently revealed that he thinks it is ‘a bit woke now’, so it may be a bit of a tough sell for organisers but not impossible.

Their debut album, Definitely Maybe, released in 1994, not only topped the UK Albums Chart but also became the fastest-selling debut album in British history.
In the years after, the band, which also included Paul Arthurs on guitar, Paul McGuigan on bass guitar, and Tony McCarroll on drums, continued to release chart-topping music, but it wasn’t long before they began making headlines for other reasons.
The Gallagher brothers were often in the newspapers throughout their early years of fame for their public disagreements. By 2009, things had gotten so bad between them that Noel suddenly left the band.
His sudden departure reportedly came after the brothers had a fight backstage at their last-ever show in Paris.

The Glastonbury rumours aren’t the only hint this year that the band could be making a comeback.
Earlier this month, Liam’s 23-year-old son Gene said he gets ‘the feeling’ that his father is ready for an Oasis revival.
‘I get the feeling my dad wants it, too. Let’s hope it happens. It’s easier to speak about after a couple of pints,’ Gene said.
He also addressed his father and uncle’s feud, explaining that while he would ‘love’ to see his dad reunite with Noel, it’s ‘nothing to do with’ him.
‘I mean, will they? I don’t know,’ he told The Times. ‘I would love it but it’s so beyond my control.’
