Now Oasis have played the final show of their ‘Live ’25’ comeback tour, Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anaïs has reflected on watching the reunion that was once thought “impossible”.
Last night (November 23), Noel and Liam closed out their 41-show comeback tour across 145 days, with a final gig in São Paulo, Brazil.
Taking to Instagram, Anaïs looked back on the “greatest year of my life, spent with the greatest people, soundtracked by the greatest band” and shared a series of photos taken across the tour.
“What was once thought impossible became possible,” she said of the road to their reunion, which their previous engagement once rendered a pipe dream. “41 shows. 142 days. A lifetime of memories.”
“The biggest thank you to everyone who made it what it was,” she continued, listing: “Dad, Uncle Liam, Bonehead, Gem, Andy, Joey, Christian, Debbie, Kat, Amy, Angus, Alec, Marcus, Steve, Dan, Josh, Grandma, Lennon, Gene, Donovan, Sonny, Molly, Zion — and of course every single fucking beautiful one of you who came, sang, cried, and cheered along with us.
“I love you, Oasis. I love you, ‘Live 25’. But most importantly, I LOVE you, Gallaghers. And for one final time: “That’s rock ’n’ roll, baby.”
While Oasis’ comeback run has come to a close, rumours of more shows continue, particularly that the band could play Knebworth or the Etihad Stadium next year, with the 30th anniversaries of their huge Knebworth and Maine Road gigs both falling in 2026.
In addition to this, a British peer in the House of Lords seemed to accidentally reveal that Oasis would play Knebworth next summer last month before backtracking. On October 22, Lady Taylor of Stevenage claimed that the band would play five back-to-back anniversary gigs at Knebworth House next year.
She then told The Guardian: “I was speaking hypothetically following speculation that they would play Knebworth again as they did in August 1996. I understand the band have not confirmed this.”
Liam Gallagher himself had previously implied that more live dates could be on the way after being asked if he was feeling “sad that the tour is ending soon” by a fan. The singer shared a subtle response on Twitter/X that suggested the band won’t be slowing down just yet. “I’m not actually as I know things you don’t know,” he wrote.
Then, at the last Wembley show of their comeback run in September, he once again added more fuel to rumours that there could be more Oasis gigs on the horizon, when he told fans “See you next year”, before jokingly slapping himself on the wrist for letting it slip.
He later said that this comment led to “a few tuts and raised eyebrows,” when a fan asked him directly about it on the social media platform.
At last night’s final show of the ‘Live ’25’ run, Liam told the crowd the band will “see you again sometime” before launching into their closing song, ‘Champagne Supernova’: “We love you, thanks for all your energy. Take care of yourselves and we’ll see you again sometime.”
With potential dates in store for 2026, fans have been clamouring for new music from the band – something that their manager Alec McKinlay shot down in May ahead of the tour: “No, there’s no plan for any new music.”
Rumours about new material from Oasis emerged last year, when Liam took to X/Twitter to tell fans that a new album from the Manchester icons was “already finished”. He then took to social media again to fan the flames, claiming that he had listened to the material Noel had written for the record and was “blown away” by it.
However, he very soon went back on his comments and said on X that there was “no Oasis album in the making”. When a fan account messaged him and questioned why he made the previous statements, he said he “was fucking joking” and did it for “a laugh”.
NME gave the band’s tour kickoff in Cardiff on July 4 a glowing five-star review, with Andrew Trendell writing: “Lord knows we needed a taste of that halcyon ‘90s hope and abandon in 2025 – especially for the raving and craving Gen-Zers.
“The world is a rotting shitty bin-fire and tomorrow never knows, but tonight, you’re a rock’n’roll star.”
