Liam and Noel Gallagher have performed together for the first time in 16 years in a closed pub in north London, according to reports.
The brothers were pictured arriving at the Mildmay club in Newington Green, north London, on Thursday where they are believed to have filmed a promotional video for this summer’s sold-out Oasis reunion tour.
According to The Sun, they arrived at the venue separately, stayed for just over an hour, and made enough noise to provoke the ire of local people.
Set to begin in Cardiff on 4 July, the much-anticipated Oasis ‘25 tour will come 16 years after the band bitterly split after an infamous backstage fight at Rock en Seine festival in Paris, and 30 years after the release of their bestselling second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?.
In a joint statement after the tour’s announcement, the band said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
The brothers are thought to be back in each other’s good graces, with Noel confirming to TalkSport earlier this week that rehearsals for the tour will begin in the next few weeks. When asked about Liam, he said: “He’s alright. He’s on tip-top form. I was with him yesterday, actually.”
The UK leg of the tour will include seven shows at Wembley Stadium in London, as well as five in the Gallaghers’ home town of Manchester. They will then tour the US, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and Australia, before ending in South America in November.
The tour made headlines earlier this week when data from Lloyds Banking Group revealed that fans have collectively lost more than £2m to scams since tickets went on sale in August 2024.

The Competition and Markets Authority previously found that Ticketmaster may have “breached” consumer protection law in the way it sold more than 900,000 tickets, with some fans ending up paying more than £350 for tickets worth £150.
The band shrugged off any criticism of ticket pricing, saying in a statement last year: “Inevitably interest in this tour is so overwhelming that it’s impossible to schedule enough shows to fulfil public demand.
“As for the well-reported complaints many buyers had over the operation of Ticketmaster’s dynamic ticketing: it needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used.”
In response to one fan, who wrote on X that they “didn’t expect [Oasis] to rip off the fans as much as they have”, Liam curtly replied: “SHUTUP”.
