After Oasis Called For ‘Pause’ to Reflect Following Reunion Tour, Liam Gallagher Teased There’s ‘Loads More Classics’ They Need to Play For Fans
In an unexpected twist for fans of the iconic British band Oasis, the group has recently concluded their Live ’25 reunion tour in Brazil, marking their first performances together in 16 years. The tour spanned five continents and featured 41 sold-out shows, thrilling audiences with the dynamic chemistry of the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, who have had a notoriously tumultuous relationship over the years. Despite their long-standing assertions that they would never reunite, the overwhelming success of the tour has sparked speculation about future performances, leaving fans eager for more.
While the band has not officially confirmed any plans for a 2026 tour, Liam Gallagher has been teasing hints on social media, creating a whirlwind of excitement and uncertainty among fans. Earlier this month, he posted cryptic messages on X, suggesting that the journey is far from over, with one post stating, “it’s not even half time yet.” However, he also attempted to temper expectations by stating there would be a “pause for a period of reflection,” following the end of the tour. This mixed messaging has left fans in a state of eager anticipation, with many wondering if a new tour could be on the horizon.
Adding to the intrigue, Liam has engaged with fans on social media, expressing enthusiasm for potentially diversifying the setlist in future shows. He acknowledged the absence of fan-favorite tracks during the tour and hinted at the possibility of including songs like “Hindu Times,” “Colombia,” and “Go Let It Out” in any upcoming performances. However, he was clear in his dismissal of the idea of new music, famously stating, “New music is for WANKERS,” emphasizing his preference for the nostalgia of their classic hits. As the dust settles on their reunion tour, the future of Oasis remains shrouded in uncertainty, yet the glimmer of a potential return has fans holding their breath in anticipation.
In much the same way that
Oasis
spent more than a decade and a half swearing that they would never play together again, now it seems like they can’t wait to go back out on the road for another run. The group wrapped up their massive Live ’25 reunion tour in Brazil on Sunday (Nov. 23) after playing 41 sold-out shows on five continents.

and guitarist/songwriter Noel Gallagher were
rapturously received
and left fans begging for more. So it’s been a bit of a roller-coaster ride trying to figure out if there actually are additional shows in the offing. While the band has not officially announced any 2026 plans, Liam has been dropping Easter eggs that have begged more questions than they’ve answered.
Earlier this month he wrote “
I know things you don’t
” on X after earlier teasing that “it’s not even
half time yet
,” before admitting that there was a “few tuts and raised eyebrows” when he’d earlier told fans that he would see them next year. And then he was more succinct when a commenter asked for just one word on a potential 2026 tour: “No,” he answered.
That definitive shutdown seemed to be confirmed on Tuesday (Nov. 25) when the band posted a series of pics from the tour with the message “there will now be a
pause for a period of reflection
.”
And then Liam eased the door open a bit, again.
Responding to a number of X comments pressing him on when Oasis will tour again and if the first swing’s rigid setlist might loosen up the next time around, Liam spread a little holiday joy with another seeming hint of what’s to come. “There’s loads more classics we need to play for you when we go out again I mean happy Christmas,”
Gallagher wrote on Tuesday
.
When one of them proposed an alternate setlist with some of the favorites that were missing the first time around, Gallagher gave a
thumbs up to a few of the ideas
, writing, “Defo doing ‘Hindu Times’ ‘Colombia’ and ‘Go let it out’ I mean happy Christmas,” he said.
The hits kept coming, as a fan speculated that they felt like “a new album is coming and you’re just hiding it really well.” Liam wasn’t quite as jovial about that one,
responding
, “It’s not I honestly do t see the point it won’t be as good as the old stuff im quite happy singing the old stuff I’m not 1 of those WANKERS that need to keep pushing it forward or sideways or backwards in some cases NOSTALGIA forever.”
In case you missed his point, he added, “New music is for WANKERS.”
So, to recap: absolutely no new music, a definitely maybe setlist shakeup and more dates for sure, unless not.
