Gallagher brothers set to be ‘kept apart’ in ‘military style operation’ at reunion tour

Organisers are planning ahead

Noel and Liam Gallagher will be ‘kept apart’ on the Oasis reunion tour according to reports.

Organisers of the highly anticipated Oasis Live ’25 have already planned a ‘military-style operation’ to keep the pair separate as much as possible to prevent a fall-out.

Ever since the reunion was announced, fans have joked about whether or not the feuding brothers will be able to remain civil throughout the whole tour.

Bookmakers have also released odds on when the Gallaghers will split up.

According to Sports Review the odds on the band splitting up before they kick off the run of shows are 7/2.

Meanwhile, odds of the brothers not staying on good terms long enough to finish the tour currently stand at 23/20.

The pair have been warring since Noel, 57, left the band after a dramatic row backstage in 2009 and it appears the organisers are desperate to avoid a repeat of that incident.

Liam, 52, has been the one who pushed for reconciliation, claiming nothing but love for his older brother now the reunion is in sight.

However, an insider has said the pair are keeping their distance off-stage.

They told The Mirror: “Noel and Liam are returning and reuniting, but don’t for one minute think that this is a tour about complete brotherly love and going out night after night and being together 24/7 like the old days.

“They will not be in each other’s pockets and effectively be separate entities that come together for necessary promotional work and the gigs. Other than that, they will be apart for much of this reunion.”

It is reported that the Gallagher brothers will have separate dressing rooms.

The source continued: “Any fallout would be a PR and financial nightmare. Rehearsals will be the first time that they will be together for a significant amount of time working again. The atmosphere is sure to be electric, but also a little edgy.”

Liam previously told a fan on X that they will not be doing much, if any, press in the lead-up to the tour to prevent scrutiny over their delicate relationship.

He said: “We don’t want to do interviews coz we’re scared of the media asking us intrusive questions and trying to pick holes in our relationship.”

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that The Verve’s Richard Ashcroft will join them as their support act.
