Noel Gallagher opens up to pal Bono on Oasis rehearsals with three weeks to go

More info Noel Gallagher has told pal Bono he is "shocked" with how good the Oasis rehearsals are sounding. The U2's frontman Bono has revealed Noel is confident that the band's reunion tour will blow fans away, reports the Mirror. Bono, who's a big fan of Oasis himself, hinted at a "good summer" ahead and vowed to be rocking out at the Gallagher shows as well. Chatting about Oasis in a recent interview, Bono said: "I love them. I just love them. And what I really love is this, the sort of preciousness that had gotten a part of what was called indie music. They just blew it out. "And there was just a swagger. The sound of getting out of the ghetto, not glamorising it. And they're both funny, funny, funny. I'm still very close with Noel. And he got a message to me, and he says that he's kind of shocked by how great the band is. So I think we're going to have a good summer." When quizzed if he'd be catching an Oasis gig himself, Bono told Zane Lowe: "Of course! And remember what they did as well. Those kind of big guitars, big Neil Young generous sounds. "They were against the law in the UK, and they're like, 'No, I have to do what I f**king want.' And then they had this kind of rhythmic, beautiful quality. 'Today is gonna be the day...' So that's a kind of, that's an almost R and B rhythm. "But Manchester was very influenced by dance music, so they were groovier than anybody. They were rawer than anybody. And Edge and myself met them in the first album. We went to Noel's flat. And they're like... it's literally a basement flat first album. "And it's like, 'Yeah, I'm into U2. Noel's like, 'Yeah, you're the Edge! Wow!' And Liam's whatever. And I'm saying, you know, America's great, because at that time It didn't get through - till now. By the way, Oasis message didn't get through maybe to America, and America didn't get through to... so this is going to be, this would be like their first tour in the US. People that know how great they are." Noel and Liam will walk on stage for the first time together in public, since the band split nearly two decades ago, on July 4 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. There will also be dates in Manchester, London and Croke Park in Dublin as part of the tour. The legendary Manchester band are reuniting for their first tour in 16 years, dubbed Oasis Live '25, after finally burying the hatchet last year. Earlier this week frontman Liam admitted he was sad about the split. A user asked on X: "How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times? (sic)". To which, Liam replied: "You know what it's spiritual but I can't help think about all those wasted years, what a waste of PRECIOUS time (sic)." Oasis split following a backstage bust-up between the Gallaghers at Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009. Their comeback to the stage is one of the most eagerly awaited music events of the decade, with rehearsals now in full swing in London. * The complete interview with Bono can be heard on The Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music 1.
