Liam Gallagher stuns fans by claiming Oasis won't perform fan-favourite
Liam Gallagher has left Oasis fans stunned by claiming the Britpop legends won't be including 'Acquiesce' in their 'Oasis Live '25 Tour' setlist.
Frontman Liam and guitarist Noel Gallagher are set to perform together for the first time in 16 years at rehearsals on Tuesday (03.06.25) - ahead of the tour kicking off on July 4 in Cardiff.
Responding to a fan on X, Liam confirmed; "Yes Rasta D I'm in Tuesday to blow there minds (sic)."
Liam has also been answering fans' questions about what songs will be played by the band.
He confirmed that 'Rock N Roll Star' is "getting played".
However, 'Acquiesce', which Liam performed at his solo shows with female backing singers, didn't make the cut.
One fan asked: "You gonna sing Acquiesce with Noel at the Heaton park gigs for us Liam?"
To which, Liam replied: "That's not on the list, sorry."
Disappointed fans chimed in: "You can't do this to us."
Another wrote: "Better get it sorted Liam be a lot of disappointed fans if that don't make the set. Wonderwall can do one."
It is, however, worth taking everything Liam says on X with a pinch of salt.
'Acquiesce' was the B-side to Oasis' first UK number-one single, 1995's 'Some Might Say', and featured dual vocals from the Gallagher brothers.
Oasis split in 2009, when Noel left the band over a backstage fight with his sibling at Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
He said in a statement at the time: 'People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.'
However, the Gallagher siblings thrilled fans last year, when they announced Oasis' comeback after 15 years.
They wrote on X: 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."

Concert tickets prices are skyrocketing. Fans have come up with a worrying solution
When Bianca Wilmott wanted to surprise her boyfriend with two expensive tickets to Lady Gaga's coming Australian tour, she knew exactly how she was going to do it. The 32-year-old social media manager from Sydney's inner west turned to the buy now, pay later (BNPL) service Afterpay to cover the cost of her two $600 tickets. 'It's part of my budgeting, to be able to split the payment up … I wouldn't have [purchased tickets without Afterpay] because I wouldn't have wanted to make that big payment in one go,' says Wilmott, who was one of 11,500 people to purchase Lady Gaga tickets through the BNPL platform. Data provided by Afterpay showed that 1.5 million transactions were made in live entertainment in Australia over the 12 months to April 2025 amid a flurry of big international acts such as Katy Perry, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo, as well as our own Kylie Minogue. Later this year there's Gaga, Metallica, Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Oasis and Usher. And tickets are getting more expensive – last year, a Live Performance Australia report revealed that the average price for a concert ticket rose from $87.01 in 2022 to $128.21 in 2023. And a report by Music Australia this year found that 'despite feeling less financially secure, young Australians are spending larger sums on entertainment and leisure in 2024 than they were in 2019' and are increasingly purchasing last-minute tickets that might 'break the bank'. Loading The report, titled Listening In: Insights on live music attendance, found that young people were driven by FOMO – fear of missing out – when it came to shelling out for international touring artists, often to the detriment of ticket sales for local talent. A fall in ticket sales for pub and club concerts, often featuring emerging artists, corresponded 'with a spate of big international acts touring Australia after the pandemic', the report says. While the report did not address how audiences bought tickets, it did find that 79 per cent of under 24s had saved money to purchase concert tickets, compared with 31 per cent of those over 40.
