Liam and Noel Gallagher pictured together for first time since tour announced
The Britpop band, who split in 2009 prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival, confirmed their long-awaited reunion in August 2024.
They have since been photographed together to launch a new partnership with Adidas ahead of their Oasis Live '25 world tour.

The Manchester-born musicians rose to fame after the release of their debut album Definitely Maybe in 1994, with their hits songs including Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Supersonic.
While in the group, they became known for their recognisable sportswear style which consisted of tracksuits, sleeve jerseys, bucket hats and coach jackets.
The pair are now the faces behind the Original Forever film campaign, which is soundtracked by their hit song Live Forever, and includes an accompanying Adidas Originals x Oasis Live '25 apparel collection.
Chris Walsh, Adidas brand vice president, said: 'Adidas and Oasis share a story defined by originality and cultural impact, with roots that run deep and have long been entwined in the fabric of music and style.
'This official partnership represents more than just two icons coming together – it reignites a timeless piece of cultural music history.

'Original Forever continues to build on Adidas' lasting legacy in music and celebrates the powerful role music and style play in shaping culture across generations.'
The brothers had been known to get into arguments over the years, but things reached breaking point at a French festival when Liam began swinging around a guitar.
Noel quit the rock group on August 28 2009, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer'.
The highly anticipated reunion tour announcement was followed with some ticketing backlash after fans in the UK and Ireland saw some prices more than double, from £148 to £355, which was blamed on 'unprecedented demand'.
The outrage and controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge they would look at the use of dynamic pricing.
Oasis are due to kickstart their world tour in July with performances in Cardiff followed by Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
The group will continue on with concerts scheduled around the world including Canada, the US, Mexico, Australia and Japan.

Anais Gallagher supports her father Noel and uncle Liam as she attends Oasis x Adidas Originals event while the brothers gear up for reunion tour after estrangement
Anaïs Gallagher showed her support for her father, Noel, by attending the Oasis x Adidas Originals event on Thursday. The iconic band are set to reunite in July for their first tour in 16 years, dubbed Oasis Live '25, after Noel, 58, and his brother Liam, 52, finally buried the hatchet last year after a decades-long estrangement. The Manchester band has been busy rehearsing the past few days, and the Gallagher brothers have also teamed up with sportswear giant Adidas for a new collection and campaign, titled Original Forever. Celebrating over 30 years of shared history between Oasis and the brand, the collaboration features a three-minute mini-film and an Adidas Originals x Oasis Live '25 apparel collection inspired by the 1990s. And Noel's daughter Anaïs, 25, showed her support for the reunion as she took to Instagram to share a series of snaps of herself at the launch event. In one smiley selfie, she joked: 'Least indie person at Oasis x Adidas event. It wasn't foretold in the prophecy. But it is indeed canon.' She also gave fans a glimpse at one of the band's football jerseys, which was neatly folded in a picture frame alongside several throwback snaps of the brothers. The event included a DJ to get the crowds going and drinks were served in Oasis-branded glasses. Meanwhile, clothing items from their new collection were on full display as excitement gears up for the reunion tour. Later in the evening, a large crowd gathered as event organisers showed their new advert on a projector, which showed models wearing the new apparel as well as shots of Noel and Liam. Oasis split following a backstage disagreement between the Gallagher brothers at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009. Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events over the past decade. A new book titled Live Forever by John Robb has detailed just how bitter the band's split was at the time. However, fans and friends are hoping that nothing happens on tour like the row they had backstage, which took them more than a decade to move on from. And later in the evening, a large crowd gathered as event organisers showed their new advert on a projector, which saw models wearing the new apparel as well as Noel and Liam themselves One witness said: 'Liam was goading Noel constantly and then the two snapped.' Another witness remembered: 'There were proper punches and Liam smashed up one of Noel's guitars. Liam was like a man possessed. They continued: 'He was swearing constantly and really angry. Medical staff were called along with security. Noel got out as quickly as he could. This was a truly vicious fight - quite horrible.' In his statement confirming he had quit the band at the time, Noel wrote: 'The level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable.' But thankfully, the duo have now made up and it is believed that Liam made the first move to patch things up with his brother. On X, formerly Twitter, Liam replied to a fan last year, saying: 'I called him but don't tell anyone as I do t wont folk thinking I'm a soft lad and stuffs keep it between me n you cheers x.' Book author John, who is a close friend of Noel, has reportedly written the programme notes for the upcoming tour. Discussing the reunion in his new book Live Forever, John said: 'The reformation rumours never did end. 'Every now and then there would be rumblings…Every year they would go from a whisper to a scream. And then silence. Venues would be booked and unbooked. Fans hopes and despaired. 'On August 27 the band announced they had reformed and everything went crazy. A tour was announced where the band were playing bigger stadiums than they had ever played before. 'Somehow by splitting up and reforming 15 years later they had become the biggest band in the world again.'

Oasis issue ticket warning ahead of Cardiff gigs
Oasis issue ticket warning ahead of Cardiff gigs It comes after tickets were sold for thousands of pounds last August, which left Noel Gallagher 'taken aback' Oasis fans can still secure tickets now (Image: (Image: GETTY) ) British rock band Oasis has issued a ticket resale warning to fans. Their highly anticipated reunion tour is just around the corner, with their two first gigs taking place at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5. The band has now confirmed that fan-to-fan ticket resale site, Tickets, is the official ticket resale partner for Oasis Live '25 tour. In a post shared on their Instagram page, the caption read: "Wanting to buy? Be aware of fraudulent sellers on social media… Tickets can ONLY be resold legally, at face value, through Twickets or Ticketmaster." When tickets went on sale last August, the band revealed efforts to prevent touts from reselling tickets at inflated prices, by partnering up with resale platform, Twickets. However, when tickets went on sale, it was reported that 4% of them, which is around 50,000, were sold on resale sites. Some tickets, which popped up on secondary ticket sites, were sold for £10,000.

In response, the Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy described the inflated selling of the tickets as "incredibly depressing" and announced that surge pricing would be included in a UK Government review of the ticket sales market, which you can read more about here. Article continues below On social media, the band wrote: "We have noticed people attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market since the start of the pre-sale. Please note, tickets can only be resold, at face value, via Ticketmaster and Twickets." Content cannot be displayed without consent In February, thousands of tickets were then cancelled by Ticketmaster in an attempt to crackdown on bots, but many fans claimed they had been targeted wrongfully. In March, Noel Gallagher shared his response to the chaos, saying he was "taken aback". He told NME: "I thought it'd be a big deal, but I was a bit taken aback by just how much of a big deal it was". There was incredibly high demand for Oasis tickets with the gigs selling out very quickly.
