Oasis followers are gobsmacked after Liam Gallagher dropped a bombshell that the iconic tune 'Acquiesce' won't feature in their upcoming 'Oasis Live '25 Tour' setlist.
The frontman and lead guitarist Noel are gearing up for a monumental reunion, set to jam together for the first time in over a decade during Tuesday's rehearsals, before commencing their tour on July 4 in Cardiff. Dublin fans will get to see their heroes when the band play Croke Park on August 16 and 17.
In a cheeky exchange with a fan on X, Liam teased: "Yes Rasta D I'm in Tuesday to blow there minds (sic)." Liam also appeared to share some songs the band will be playing at the upcoming reunion gigs, reports Bristol Live.
He assured fans that 'Rock N Roll Star' is definitely "getting played". Yet it seems fan favourite 'Acquiesce' has not made the cut.
One fan asked: "You gonna sing Acquiesce with Noel at the Heaton park gigs for us Liam?" But Liam disappointed them by answering: "That's not on the list, sorry."
Fans were gutted, with reactions like: "You can't do this to us." Another pleaded: "Better get it sorted Liam be a lot of disappointed fans if that don't make the set. Wonderwall can do one."
Still, it pays to remember that taking Liam's words on X should always be taken with a pinch of salt. 'Acquiesce' is a fan favourite which features a rare instance of Noel and Liam sharing lead vocals.
Fans believe the track, which includes the refrain of "we need each other" would be a perfect fit for the group's first shows in 16 years. The legendary band called it quits back in 2009, following a heated row between the Gallaghers at Paris's Rock en Seine festival.
Speaking shortly after the split, Noel said: "People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."
Yet, last year, the Gallagher brothers delighted fans by announcing Oasis' return after a 15-year hiatus. Their announcement on X read: "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."

Noel Edmonds, 76, opens up on TV return with series about his life in New Zealand – & how it compares to Clarkson's Farm
A LARGER than life showbiz veteran documenting his new life on a farm is a hit TV formula for Jeremy Clarkson. Now there is another famous face who is also getting in on the action, Noel Edmonds. 7 Noel Edmonds will be back on TV screens documenting his life in New Zealand - but don't expect it to be like Clarkson's Farm Credit: PA 7 Noel's Kiwi adventure includes running a pub – The Bugger Inn near Nelson, just like Clarkson back in the UK Credit: ITV 7 Noel's House Party inspired Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway – and made Mr Blobby a TV icon Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd However the quirky host insists his new ITV1 show is nothing like Clarkson's Farm — because he's not as funny as the former Top Gear star. Noel exclusively told The Sun: 'When we were filming our show, some people who knew about Clarkson's Farm said to me, 'Oh, is it like Clarkson's Farm?' 'And I said, 'No, it couldn't be more different.' 'First of all, I'm not like Jeremy in many ways, though I wish I were. READ MORE TV NEWS "He's brilliant. 'He can articulate an argument beautifully and deliver a sharp, humorous line like no one else.' Noel, 76, is perhaps doing himself a disservice, as he went on to crack a joke about his years in the showbiz wilderness. His last big gig was on I'm A Celebrity in 2018, when he was Most read in News TV Noel laughed: 'People still ask, 'Noel Edmonds? Didn't he die? Is he still around?' 'Yes, I'm still here — and living life to the full.' Noel Edmonds reunites with 90s sidekick Mr Blobby on Good Morning Britain Noel now lives in New Zealand where he and wife Liz have been based since 2016 after he quit the UK. 'Punishing schedule' For the first time he will be putting his new life in the spotlight in the ITV1 show, Unlike Jeremy, the former Deal Or No Deal host is no newcomer to farming. He's been working in agriculture since the Eighties in Devon, when he was one of the UK's biggest stars. Noel said: 'Over the years I've known Jeremy. 'If you watch a video called Noel's Le Mans Dream, you'll see Jeremy was part of my boys' team, alongside Nick Mason, Gary Rhodes, and others. 'I entered a two-car team in the Le Mans 24-hour race . 'I thoroughly enjoyed that weekend. 'I don't think I saw Jeremy eat any solids. 'He was a regular in the hospitality tents, a great character.' He continues: 'Clarkson's Farm came along, and I think it's brilliant. 'There are three things in particular I admire. 'First, the production values — the way it's made, the narrative structure — it's exceptional. 'Not contrived, but very well-constructed. 'Second, he's highlighted how mad our relationship is with public servants. " 'They are meant to serve the public. 'He's shown how difficult they make things. 'Third, and most importantly, he's shown how hard it is to be a farmer. 'I've been farming since the early Eighties and it's always been tough. "In Devon, the paperwork alone was staggering. 'Constant rules. Constant restrictions. All about control.' Liz and I allowed the cameras into our lives. The filming followed what we did in September, October, November of 2024, right up to Christmas. Noel on his new TV show Noel's series will involve a lot less red tape. But, just like Jeremy, he's also acquired a pub — Noel explains: 'The key difference between our Kiwi Adventure, and Clarkson's Farm is that ours is more of a lifestyle narrative. 'Liz and I allowed the cameras into our lives. 'The filming followed what we did in September, October, November of 2024, right up to Christmas. "It documented our lifestyle - two people deciding to leave the UK and start over in New Zealand. 'And yes, everyone says it: 'Oh, New Zealand, that's a long way away.' And we just say, 'Exactly, that's why we're here.' 'In 2016 we decided to explore our options to move away from the UK and our first holiday was to New Zealand. 'We got a real feel for New Zealand and began to understand the Kiwi way of life. 7 Noel on his new Kiwi Adventure show Credit: PA 7 Making his name as a DJ on Radio 1 in the early Seventies, Noel went on to host kids show Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, with the late Keith Chegwin 'At the same time, Deal Or No Deal was coming to an end — 3,000 shows over ten years. 'It was a punishing schedule. 'This show tells the story of the challenges we've faced, the joys we've discovered, and all the fun we've had. 'I really hope the fun element of our Kiwi Adventure comes through, and maybe it will make people curious about New Zealand.' The series also shows them enjoy some of the country's hot spots, including a helicopter flight above the South Island's glacier and some fun on a boat in the balmy north. But it is not all fun and games and the series will show the brutal side of farming. He said: 'We have a fair amount of land here and we practise what I call ethical farming. 'Some call it regenerative farming, that's the buzzword. 'For me, ethical farming means treating livestock with respect. 'We know why we're farming them and what the final outcome is. 'I don't like that part. "I really don't. 'I'm a hypocrite. 'I'm a coward. 'I don't want to be involved in that final journey. 'But we try to give them the finest feed, structured water, and as much dignity as possible.' Making his name as a DJ on Radio 1 in the early Seventies, he went on to host kids show Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, 'Hippies in yurts' Later he presented Channel 4 gameshow Deal Or No Deal from 2005 to 2016 — which was recommissioned in 2023 with Stephen Mulhern taking over as host. It was thanks to Deal Or No Deal that Noel met Liz, his wife of 17 years, as she worked as a make-up artist on the show. Aside from his It's so beautiful here that I'll walk my land and just stop for an hour, admiring the view and not get any work done. The landscape is sensational. Noel on his New Zealand home Noel and Liz, his third wife, were initially based in Auckland but Noel decided the city was too busy so they moved to the remote Tasman region instead. He laughed: 'It was so busy it began to feel like the UK or Europe. 'I even called it Euro Zealand. 'It's so beautiful here that I'll walk my land and just stop for an hour, admiring the view and not get any work done. 'The landscape is sensational.' However, it's not all peace and tranquillity, and that's mainly down to the extreme weather they experience. He added: 'The weather here has attitude. 'I lived in Devon for 20 years and there you'd get grey days with drizzle drifting in from the Atlantic. But here? 'When it blows, it really blows — trees come down. 'When it rains, it's tropical stair-rodding rain. 'You get landslips. And the sun? 'It'll burn you within ten minutes in peak season. 'Oh, and earthquakes. 'We've had three. 'During the first one, we were sitting outside with a glass of wine, and I noticed the surface of the wine rippling. 'That was a mild one. 'The biggest one really shook the house — the cutlery drawer rattled, and Liz and I each grabbed a dog and ran outside. "No structural damage, thankfully. 'But yes, earthquakes - and a dormant volcano just up the way. 'At least, we hope it's dormant.' Another big factor as to why Noel has settled so well in New Zealand is the people. He said: 'They love a good time, a good laugh and they don't take themselves, or their politicians, too seriously. 'I love that. 'Especially here, in this area, which became a kind of haven for the hippies in the Sixties and Seventies. 'There are still people living in yurts up the valley, and good on them. 'What we found was overwhelming kindness. 'We were living in Matakana during the flu outbreak and, suddenly, our mailbox was full of avocados, chocolates, home-cooked things - little gifts from locals who wanted to look after 'the two Brits up the way'. 'It was heartwarming. 'If a Kiwi invites you to their home, you always say: 'Thanks, what can I bring?' In the UK, you might show up with a bottle or a bunch of flowers from the petrol station. 'Here, it's expected that you contribute.' But if anyone knows how to throw a good house party, it's Noel.

Legendary band set to receive major gong at Brits next year as bosses ‘kick off Manchester residency with a bang'
THERE'S only one band the whole country is talking about right now, with their sell-out international reunion tour just weeks away. So when the Brit Awards head up to Manchester next year, I've been told we can expect an Oasis extravaganza. 11 Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher are set to receive a major gong at the Brits next year Credit: PA 11 Liam and Noel at the Brit in 1995 Credit: Getty 'The Brits want to kick off their two-year residency in Manchester with a bang,' my Brits mole said. 'Oasis will have not long finished up their sold-out shows and the hope is that 'Along with it being heavy on Oasis, the Brits want to celebrate Manchester's rich music history. 'As well as Oasis, huge bands like The 1975, The Stone Roses, The Smiths and Take That all have their roots in Manchester. London might be the music capital of the country, but Manchester is just as important and has given the UK some of our best homegrown talents. READ MORE ON OASIS 'It's a new adventure and the Brits team think they could be onto something very special.' We're expecting a very different vibe from the ceremony this year — and that's no bad thing. The annual event — taking place on at the Co-op Live arena on February 28 next year — has been slammed for now being a little stale, with more influencers and reality stars packed into London's O2 Arena than ever at this year's bash. It's little wonder then that Love Island's Most read in Bizarre All the gossip By taking the ceremony back to focusing on the music, with the stars taking to the stage in the state-of-the-art Co-Op Live Arena, this move could breathe some much-needed life back into the show I love so much. Naturally there will be some whingers who think that Manchester is a bit of a schlep, especially as all of our major music labels have their bases in the capital. Inside Noel & Liam Gallagher's first Oasis show in 16 years at surprise venue where they enraged neighbour But I'm told plenty of cash and creativity is being pumped into the bash by Sony Music, which spearheaded the move to Manchester and have taken on the stewardship of the awards for the next three years. A Brits spokesperson said: 'We are all very excited about the move to Manchester, and we look forward to planning a spectacular event. 'No decisions have been made about the 2026 show, and no meetings have taken place yet to start the planning.' With a deep breath, we've booked our hotel rooms and are scouting out the best celebrity hotspots to get you all the gossip from the event.

And it seems I revealed in March that Sam had secretly been seeing Rosa for almost two years and the pair were snapped together in public for the first time when they stopped for food at County Durham services. An onlooker said: 'Sam is a superstar but he keeps his personal life low key. "He was really affectionate towards Rosa and, after he'd ordered their haul, he headed back to the tour bus with Rosa bringing him the food to stop him being mobbed by fans.' Friends told me earlier this year that Sam met Rosa while she was studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. They became more serious in 2023 and she's been on the road with him for his mega People Watching world tour – which saw him playing to 80,000 people at the London's Olympic Stadium on Friday night. They added: 'Sam's career has gone stratospheric but he likes to keep his feet on the ground and Rosa helps him do that. 'They make a lovely couple.' They sure do.

Admitting he won't nail down the setlist for the 90-minute performance until the night before, Rod said: 'We've been running [through it] because I have two guests coming on. "Three guests actually, so we're doing their songs. But no, it won't be until the night before.' But does that mean he will be on his best behaviour at Worthy Farm? Doesn't sound like it. The Faces legend – who has been forced to cancel a string of gigs in the US this month while recovering from flu – said he will be treating himself to some Bacardi and Coke before going on stage. He added: 'This time, we're all in a hotel in Bath the night before, me and the band, all the road crews, so we're going to have a right old p***-up. 'It's obviously the last time I do it, so I want it to be memorable. 'But I'm just going to go in, have a few drinks before I go on and enjoy myself like I've always done all my life.' It will be his second time at the festival after headlining in 2002, but it sounds as though he had a fair few drinks then, too. Asked what he recalls about last time, he confessed: 'Nothing. 'I think it's the alcohol intake over the years. 'I just cannot remember what happened at Glastonbury.' But while it will be a special moment, it has not come cheap. Speaking on the Sidetracked podcast on BBC Sounds – recorded before his recent illness – he explained: 'It's actually cost me £300,000 to do the show because I've got to bring all the band back from America and I've got to take them all the way back to America. 'Believe it or not, my kids, three of them, all bought their own tickets, because Glastonbury give nothing away. Nothing. 'Everybody asks me for tickets. All the time. Everywhere. People just come out of the woodwork. 'Oh, you haven't spoken to me for 25 years. Any chance I could have a ticket?'' Rod is a busy man, as alongside the Glasto show, he is working on the first Faces album for over 50 years, a solo country album, another solo record, plus documentaries about his life and his time as frontman of the Faces. But the singer said: 'I'm enjoying performing now more than I've ever done in my entire life and I'm in my 80s. 'You'll see it at Glastonbury. 'My energy, enthusiasm is overwhelming, almost. I've got a band that I absolutely adore being with.' And he's so excited to be there on the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday legends slot that he is even looking forward to people chucking their pants at him on stage – despite the fact they may be days-old, unwashed underwear. He added: 'Oh, it doesn't matter. 'They're my people.' Rather him than me . . .

They have been leaving clues on each other's Instagram posts in recent days, with former Little Mix star posting a photo of herself in a Boy Crazy T-shirt. Kesha commented: 'U boy crazy too? We should go out…' to which Jade replied: 'Let's party!' It could be the perfect move to introduce her to more fans in the States, where Little Mix never hit the big time. She is being managed by a team in the US who want to make her a star there following the success of her debut solo single Angel Of My Dreams and her Brit Award for Pop Act. Jade's album That's Showbiz Baby! will be out on September 12, followed by a UK tour in October which is almost entirely sold out.

After the shows at the Co-Op Live arena, the American soul legend will then return to the capital for one final show at London's O2 Arena on Sunday. So it's little surprise Lionel is feeling the burn, joking on stage: 'When you see me jumping and running, sliding, running up stairs, running down stairs, I want you all to know one thing – I'm in pain.' His high-intensity shows are fuelled by early nights and electrolytes, with Lionel performing 22 of his biggest tracks including Dancing On The Ceiling, Endless Love and All Night Long. But while he has the moves of a man half his age, Lionel said his vocals are given a rest – by the audience. He adding: 'When you come to my show, the last person you'll hear singing is me.' We caught Lionel live in London on Friday night and can confirm this is true. And his performance was a masterclass for younger artists. Lionel, never stop.

Dublin is cheapest city to see Oasis reunion but total cost still eye-watering
Any Irish Oasis fans hoping to snap up last-minute tickets won't be stuck breaking the bank, as Dublin was declared the cheapest spot to watch the sell-out tour compared to any of their UK dates. New research has shown that it's 20 per cent cheaper to catch the Cigarettes and Alcohol hitmakers in the Irish capital, when compared to UK tour cities; including Manchester, London and Edinburgh next month. The total cost for the 17 August concert in Dublin is €1,399, including resale tickets (€1,030) and hotel accommodation (€369), compared to the average €1,749 it costs across other dates. Resale tickets and hotel prices were factored into the research from digital marketing and PR agency Tank to work out which tour cities are the priciest and cheapest to watch the reunion. The most expensive city to watch Oasis perform is London, with average costs of €2,409, including resale tickets (€1,877) and a hotel for the night (€532). When the tickets went on sale last August, fans complained over Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing, where prices increase with demand, meaning some tickets more than doubled in price. Resale scams also saw fans lose up to €2m since the tickets went on sale last year. Following Dublin, Manchester on 20 July is the second cheapest city to watch the reunion tour costing €1,531.10 on average. While resale tickets are pricey at €1,200, the average hotel cost is lower at €329 due to the only available rooms being outside a one-mile radius of the tour venue. Edinburgh on 8 August is the third cheapest, with average resale tickets costing just €1,025 but hotel rooms pricier at €560. After London, Cardiff is the most expensive city to watch Oasis on July 4. Fans could pay €2,048 on average, with resale tickets costing €1,145 and accommodation surprisingly high at €903.
