Liam Gallagher has ruled out a return by Oasis to the Glastonbury Festival.
Following his reunion with brother and bandmate Noel Gallagher for the Live 25 Tour last year, there has been speculation the Manchester band’s next big gig could be during the return of the Somerset festival in 2027.
However, after an Oasis fan account suggested there was a high likelihood the band could play Worthy Farm again, Gallagher hit back with an expletive-filled response.
Oasis have headlined Glastonbury twice, in 1995 and 2004, but more recently both brothers have taken aim at the festival.
Responding to a post on X last year asking if they could headline the Pyramid Stage again, Liam commented: “Hope not.”
A year earlier, his older brother criticised Glastonbury for “virtue-signalling”.
Speaking on a podcast, Noel, 59, said: “It’s getting a bit woke now, that place, and a bit kind of preachy and a bit virtue-signalling."
The singer, who performed with his band Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds at Glastonbury in 2022, added: “Donate all your money to the cause – that’s it, stop yapping about it."
However, the Manchester City football fan did tell the podcast he loved the festival, calling it “probably the best thing about Britain apart from the Premier League”.
Next month a documentary following the brothers on their Live 25 Tour will screen.
Titled Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger, it follows the Gallaghers across the tour that began in Cardiff in July last year.
It will be released in cinemas on September 9 and also on Disney Plus, with the streaming service saying it will highlight the “triumphant reunion tour” from rehearsals to backstage and onstage.
It will also include the first joint interviews with Noel and Liam in over 20 years.
The Oasis reunion tour was announced in August 2024, 15 years after the brothers’ dramatic split in 2009, which was prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France.
The band have had eight number one singles and albums each in the UK charts, with Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova and Some Might Say among their best-known hits.
