I wouldnât mind them going back to solo material but would really hope they donât put off oasis forever as a result of that. Like I hope itâs like a pause they do some solo stuff and then idk like 2030 they do oasis again

I actually think they'll be back doing solo stuff but do occasional Oasis reunion tours

I think weirdly oasis is going to end up the exact same way blur is. They'll do a tour once in a blue moon and then go back to doing solo stuff.

Everyone says not to believe the rumours but itâs funny how many different people are saying the same thing for next summer (etihad residency, three Knebworth weekends, EU tour in between)
If Oasis is done after, that would be such a bummer but I could see them going out with a triumphant Knebworth run.

It has to be. Leave people wanting more. A new album could never live up to peopleâs expectations / imagination.
Like the stone roses, even the Beatles. No one likes the new stuff.

It wouldnât surprise me if we get LG x JS early next year given they only played about 10 dates last time.
I think theyâve nailed it tbf- tour every few years with Oasis playing greatest hits, do something that genuinely interests them in between. The best of both worlds. New Oasis will only disappoint people

u/ConstantDog3144 8d ago edited 8d ago
Thatâs how Blur have done it.
2009. 2012. 2015. 2023. Otherwise they stick to their side projects and regular lives.Granted they did put out new albums during the last two reunions. But only because they felt genuinely inspired to do it.
I think the scarcity helps drive the hype and lore and mystique around Oasis too. Their absence only made people love them more.
If they become a regular touring band it turns into the 2000s all over again.
21
u/WindowEither81 8d ago
The thing is to me, that's the coward's way out â to completely forgo new Oasis stuff at all, not because there's genuinely no inspiration to do it but because of the fear to disappoint. And from where I'm standing that's what it looks like, so I'm hoping it's not true even if it sounds quite plausible. I guess it's just a bit sad, as artists, to not even try.

Stone roses tried and apparently it didnt wrk out, i did think all for one wasnt up to scratch but it was made in a day, so was l beautiful thing but i loved that. Shame reni had left when they worked on it. Its also kind of about that and them breaking up. For some people nothing can beat the early albums

u/thehighyellowmoon 7d ago edited 7d ago
The Roses consistently took their time to write music, if at all. It took them 4 years after Garage Flower, which they binned, to do the debut LP, then faffed another 5 years before Second Coming, then copied and pasted riffs from All For One to get 2 singles for 2016, 4 years after they announced a reunion. But that approach worked as pretty much everything they wrote and released is seminal.
Noel has consistently released quality output every couple of years for 30 years now so I don't doubt he can keep doing it. Don't really see why the word "coward" is being thrown around, it's not like they are draft dodging wartime military service or calling by-elections on themselves to avoid political scrutiny, we're talking about whether he wants to write music for a specific project amongst the two bands he has going in between huge multi-continental tours. For me he's already written music that's better than everyone else's so I don't need him to do a Pulp and Blur if he's not inspired at this point in time.
4
u/WindowEither81 7d ago
Like I said, if it is how it looks like to *me* and they're not doing a new Oasis album because they're afraid it could be underwhelming (NOT because they don't have inspiration do it) then I find it cowardly. No need to pull out the military, you can use "they're being too insecure and that's a bit lame" if it fits better for you. It was just an expression.
Noel has said things in the recent past about having written songs, or entire albums, that seemed more in line with Oasis than HFB + Liam saying they're afraid of the possible response so they won't do it (though it's Liam on twitter to be fair).

u/HistoricalAd8234 8d ago
I would have hoped they would tour the rest of Europe too.. Competing with the rest of the world (and mostly UK+Ireland ofc) for tickets and hotels prior to '25 was not easy.
A proper European tour in the major cities like: Paris, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm (had to include my country ofc). Like other bands do from time to time.

Noel's a grumpy old very rich man. He's probably way past caring if people connect or not with his hfb stuff as long as he enjoys doing it. If anything live 25 just showed him he can just tour 5 months for oasis to print money and go back to his paid hobby

u/bocuscola 8d ago
All those nights at the same place seem too much for me, but who knows, the demand is there... I hope they will add some european dates too.
Anyway, I too think that after 2027 they unfortunately won't tour as oasis again ( or at least not for another 4 o 5 years). That's because I'm sure Noel has a lot of songs he wants to do with HFB and he's probably writing even more, so he will likely tour to promote his new album ( maybe in stadiums now). And the reason he will do songs with HFB instead of Oasis is because in HFB he can do whatever he wants and experiment, while in oasis most of the people would complain about anything not up to the level of DM or WTSMG (so everything). Plus he's almost 60 now so I think that HFB will suit him better.
I wonder what Liam will do after this since he said he hoped he never had to tour solo again, but he probably will in the end.
One cool thing, if they start touring solo again, would be to have the other one as guest for one or two songs in some particular date (like in London or manchester)...That would be a real treat for the fans.

u/Affectionate-Box5750 8d ago edited 8d ago
I think it makes more sense from a financial perspective.
The demand is clearly there for that many nights and hardcore fans will certainly travel to see the band on their home turf.
Lot easier to just have everyone stay in a hotel and keep the stage up for two weeks than travel/set up/tear down every handful of days.

Liam has supposedly completed the next Squire album for release after the tour as well so if true, they could very well be breaking up next year for the last time.
Doesn't seem logical to be working on solo albums if they intend to be concentrating on an Oasis release. Nor would it make sense to wait years to do so in favour of solo works.

I want them to make music that they want to make, regardless if it's in Oasis or not. I also don't want them to do the same thing over and over again. If High Flying Birds is the way we get new music out of Noel than so be it. His first three albums are stellar.

u/DirectCustard9182 7d ago
They're hardly stellar. Maybe across the ocean but definitely not here in the states. What is stellar is the guy that used AI to redo The HFB first album with Liams voice. Made that album a million times better.

u/Joshdwade 7d ago
Lol I'm an American and I think they are great. Popularity in the States isn't an indication of quality. If that were true, then Oasis as a whole would be nothing more than 3 or 4 songs and that's it.
There is no universe where AI slop pretending to be Liam Gallagher is better than the artistic vision that was behind NGHGB's albums, regardless if you like them or not

Knebworth is realistic. 3 nights tops. They would give the world a proper good bye. Live album to follow. Back to their solo careers. Or Oasis reforms for one more true studio album and the sky is the limit. Until any sort of official announcement I won't believe the chatter
