Gallagher brothers perform together for first time in 16 years in closed London pub
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'.

Oasis fans claim gig-goer 'ruined' experience for others with bizarre act
An Oasis fan has been branded 'hilarious' after she was caught on video singing along to the band at their reunion gig in Dublin this weekend in a high-pitched opera voice Oasis concluded their 14-show tour of the UK and Ireland as part of their Live '25 reunion tour over the weekend with two sold-out shows at Croke Park in Dublin. The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, will next tour North America before returning to London's Wembley Stadium in September for another two gigs that were added after the original run due to overwhelming demand. Thousands of fans shelled out hundreds of euros to join the crowd at Croke Park, and while most undoubtedly had a blast, a select few concert-goers had their experience "ruined" - all because of another fan in the crowd. Oasis enthusiast Holly Walsh was attempting to film a video of the Gallagher brothers performing their hit track Cigarettes and Alcohol, but one fan in her seating area "ruined" the entire clip. Sharing the video on TikTok, Holly revealed that someone seated near her was singing along to the song in a high-pitched operatic voice, which could be heard loud and clear in the clip - and by all the fans around her. Some commenters were quick to make light of the situation, with some joking that the singing was Liam Gallagher's "real voice", and others suggesting that renowned singer and Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle was in the crowd. Comparisons were also drawn to Mickey Mouse, Elmo, and even The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins. Some viewers were in stitches, claiming they were "wetting themselves" at the hilarity of the clip. However, not everyone was amused by the singing, with many suggesting it would have "ruined" the gig for them if they'd been in Holly's position. Another chimed in: "I'm glad I wasn't stuck behind her." A third even attempted to claim responsibility for the peculiar singing voice, stating: "I was literally two rows in front of you and it possibly could have been me." In the lead up to the Oasis gigs in Dublin, fans had highlighted the "best part" of the reunion shows so far after a video of Liam and Noel embracing backstage went viral. The concerts mark the first time the brothers have performed together in 16 years, following Oasis' dramatic split in 2009. The sight of the brothers reuniting has sparked chatter about how "happy" their mother, Peggy Gallagher, must be.

US FTC sues ticket reseller for evading Taylor Swift's Eras tour ticket limits
Aug 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Trade Commission sued ticket reseller Key Investment Group for evading purchasing limits to buy up thousands of tickets to live events including Taylor Swift's Eras tour and resell them at a markup, according to a complaint filed in Maryland federal court on Monday. The Baltimore, Maryland-based company, which operates ticket resale sites including used thousands of Ticketmaster accounts, including fake or purchased accounts, the FTC said. Ticketmaster faced intense criticism after its botched 2022 sale of tickets to Swift's much-hyped New Eras Tour, when billions of requests from Swift fans, bots and ticket resellers overwhelmed its website and the company canceled a planned ticket sale to the general public. For one Swift concert, Key Investment Group used 49 different accounts to purchase 273 tickets and evade a 6-ticket purchase limit, the FTC said on Monday. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson said in a statement that the lawsuit puts ticket sellers on notice that the agency will go after those who circumvent ticketing platforms' limits on ticket sales. The lawsuit is part of a crackdown President Donald Trump announced in March focused on curbing exploitative ticket reselling practices that raise costs for fans. Key Investment Group sued the FTC in July to block its investigation, saying that its ticket purchases did not use automated software, or bots, and did not violate the Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act. The FTC has made it clear that "they intend to use the BOTS Act to shut down the entire secondary-ticket market," the company said in its lawsuit. The agency on Monday accused Key Investment Group and three of its executives of violating the BOTS Act as well as the FTC Act, which prohibits unfair and deceptive business practices. Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation Entertainment (LYV.N), opens new tab, are facing a lawsuit brought by U.S. antitrust enforcers accusing the company of monopolizing markets across the live concert industry.
