Oasis Confirms Australian Tour Dates Amid Ongoing Rift Rumours

Oasis has announced that they will perform in Australia later this year, despite ongoing speculation about tensions between band members Noel and Liam Gallagher. The Britpop legends are set to play four shows, marking their first return to the country since 2005, during a sold-out reunion tour that has captured the attention of fans worldwide.

As the band embarks on their 41-date world tour, concerns have arisen regarding the brothers’ famously turbulent relationship. Following their initial concert in Cardiff earlier this month, reports emerged indicating that Noel and Liam would be kept apart as much as possible during the tour. Liam’s decision to perform solo after the first show fueled speculation about the tour’s longevity, leading many fans to question whether the duo could maintain a united front.

Rumours and Reality: The Gallagher Brothers on Tour

Fans took to social media platform X, expressing their fears that the tour might end prematurely. Comments ranged from apprehensions about potential fights to doubts regarding the brothers’ ability to complete all scheduled dates. One user remarked, “They still hate each other… Bet they don’t finish the tour,” reflecting widespread concern among followers.

Despite these worries, evidence from the tour suggests that the Gallagher brothers are committed to making this reunion a success. In Cardiff, they appeared on stage together, arm in arm, delivering a performance that delighted fans, even those who may have been sceptical. Rolling Stone Australia reported that during a subsequent show in Manchester, Liam supported Noel by allowing him to take the lead during his segment of the performance. The camaraderie was evident as Liam even shared a friendly fist bump with his brother before stepping back to let him shine.

During his address to the audience, Liam expressed gratitude towards fans, saying, “Over the years, I know it’s hard work and all that tackle, but we appreciate it. You’re the best f***ing fans, man.”

Anticipation Builds for Australian Shows

With the tour continuing to unfold successfully, Australian fans can look forward to witnessing Oasis live on stage. The group is scheduled to perform at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on October 31, November 1, and November 4, before heading to Sydney’s Olympic Park for shows on November 7 and 8.

The last time Oasis toured Australia was during their “Don’t Believe The Truth” tour in 2005, making this reunion particularly special for long-time fans. As the band builds momentum, the hope is that their performance will not only satisfy their loyal fanbase but also pave the way for continued cooperation between the Gallagher brothers.

While the rift between Noel and Liam Gallagher is a well-documented aspect of their dynamic, the current tour appears to be a testament to their commitment to their music and fans. With sold-out shows and enthusiastic crowds, the anticipation for their Australian concerts only continues to grow.
