And according to a source, they 'don't want to over-expose themselves to each other,' during the tour.
As a result, they've been staying in separate residences after their gigs.
But fans have now found a photo of the two music legends together backstage - the first backstage sighting of the pair together.
Shared on Reddit, Noel and Liam can be seen standing either side of two young fans outside.

Noel is wearing sunglasses and stands with an arm around one of the boys, and Liam on the other side looks animated as he holds his arm up in the air.
'Never thought I'd see a picture of Noel and Liam where they are more excited than anyone else in it,' one fan joked.
Another said: 'Those lucky lads, im happy they met their heroes,' and a third penned: 'Love that they still pose the same way it's adorable.'
Others speculated that things 'must be going well on tour' between the two brothers.

A source recently opened up to The Sun on Sunday about their post-gig living situations.

They said: 'Having separate residences is the best option so they can relax in their own space.
'They stayed in separate locations outside the city around half an hour away from each other.
'They're happy families at the moment and they want to keep it that way.
'Liam has been off the booze for a while and sounds better than ever.
'He wants eight hours' sleep every night and is avoiding boozing and partying altogether.
'Liam's clean-living is working wonders too.
'Everyone's been really impressed — they're determined to stay focused on making the magic happen on stage.'
The source added: 'Debbie protects him from all the hype so he doesn't get carried away.
'They've swapped out Guinness for zero per cent alcohol beers and keep the vibe backstage as chilled as possible.'
Meanwhile, the brothers have
The pair went to special lengths to honour
A source said: 'Noel and Liam wanted to do something to honour their fans who'd been given a kick in the
teeth
from the council.
'Their fans had gathered on the hill to listen to the show if they didn't have tickets and those in a good position could get a sight of the screens until the council bores tried to stop the fun.
'Noel and Liam wanted to make a point to their fans who couldn't get tickets so had these T-shirts made especially for them.
'They could only get 1,000 printed in the short space of time they had but their teams pulled it off and their fans were delighted.
'It was a gesture of defiance from them and they wanted to show the fans who came to Gallagher Hill each night that they were just as important as those who were lucky enough to get their hands on a ticket.'
Noel and Liam, who played five huge shows at Heaton Park, also made a point of calling out to their loyal supporters on Gallagher Hill.
During the final two concerts over the weekend, Liam shouted out to those gathered there before playing their fifth track on the set list, 1994's Bring It On Down.

The Nineties revival is in full swing and indie favs are joining in with Irish gig
KULA BOOLA | Kula Shaker are joining the party in Laois with the likes of Oasis back on the way to Irish shores. It's like the '90s all over again with even indie favourites Kula Shaker set to perform in Ireland next weekend at the Forest Fest in Emo, Co Laois 'Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse,' Crispian Mills says in his droll sense of humour as he chats with Magazine+ over Zoom from his home in Penzance. 'No, I think it's crazy. We're touring America in autumn and everybody is out there. I think there's something about this '90s resurgence that is different to any other because it's based around live bands, whereas a lot of the contemporary music now is not so much around guitars and bands. 'I've been around gigs recently and festivals of contemporary bands and there's not a lot of noise coming off the stage. There's a lot of people on headphones and things like that. 'Guitar bands plug in and it's a bit of a racket, so I think people are going to get that taste again…and see whether they like it or not, whether they remembered it as being fun.' Crispian Mills of Kula Shaker. Photo: Sergione Infuso/Corbis via Getty Images News in 90 Seconds - July 24th Kula Shaker enjoyed success in the UK and Ireland from the mid-'90s with Top 10 hits that included Tattva, Hey Dude, Govinda, Hush and Sound Of Drums. 'You don't make money from recording anymore, but now even the live shows are at the mercy of the cost of living, the cost of everything,' Crispian reveals. 'I think that nobody is escaping the situation that we're in now where the cost of everything is unsustainable and ridiculous. 'It has got to the point where you are hoping to sell a few T-shirts, but even then these big corporations that run the venues are taking 25 per cent of your merch as well. So really they are just squeezing you for everything. 'That's the way it is, but you gotta keep on rockin' in the free world.' We talk about perception and reality and how some people think if you're even moderately famous you're rich. 'No, we didn't get invited to Jeff Bezos's wedding, that's for sure,' he says. Jay Darlington, Paul Winterhart, Crispian Mills and Alonza Bevan of Kula Shaker. Photo: Katja Ogrin/Redferns 'But we're a very lucky band because we're still friends and we're still playing music and we still see the funny side. So in that respect we are very fortunate.' They disbanded between 1999 and 2004 and did solo work, which was probably healthy for their relationships. 'It definitely allowed us a little bit of space from each other and also to appreciate each other,' Crispian admits. 'There's been a lot of unexpected twists and turns for this band – Jay being in Oasis was one of them…who would have thought.' Kula Shaker's keyboardist Jay Darlington joined Oasis in 2002 for their live shows and toured with them until their last tour in 2009. 'This is a really good time for Kula Shaker, a good time to see Kula Shaker and it's a good time to be in the band as well,' Crispian says as the chat turns to their forthcoming show at Forest Fest in Emo next Saturday, on a bill that includes Franz Ferdinand, Manic Street Preachers, Travis, Orbital, Billy Bragg, Something Happens, The Stranglers, Peter Hook & The Light and many more over the weekend. 'Festivals are always great…it's great to play to your own crowd, but festivals are a real mish-mash of people where some may know all your B-sides and some may never have heard of you in their life, so you've got a great mix.' Read more It's an opportunity to win over some new people? 'Yes, it's an opportunity to convert the non-believers,' he laughs. 'Kula Shaker were always a live band. I'm very proud of the records we've mad, but the place where we've always been at our strongest and being constantly evolving has been on the live side of thing, that's really where the band come into their own. 'It's a crazy time in the world, there's a lot of strange things going on and this guitar band throwback is all part of the fun. I think it can contribute something musically, but I think also that attitude, being a little big more rebellious and not taking any sh*t from The Man is very much needed right now.' As the conversation draws to a close, I ask Crispian if he's happy with Kula Shaker's place in the history of UK music. The droll self-mockery comes out again. 'Somebody said to us recently that we were the most underrated band,' Mills says, adding: 'We want to become the most overrated band, that's what we want to go down as.'

One in four gig goers leave concert EARLY with Gen Zs most likely to make a swift exit, survey shows
A SURVEY has revealed the common habits of Brits when attending concerts. One in four gig goers miss the encore and leave early – with a third prioritising 2 Some gig-goers love the late night excitement, while others are eager to unwind Credit: SWNS 2 Younger generations tend to prioritise self-care, sometimes leaving gigs early Credit: SWNS A poll of 2,000 music fans found 26 per cent seemingly can't resist the thought of winding down post-gig rather than staying to hear the final song. And perhaps surprisingly, it's Gen Zs (39 per cent) who are most likely to make a swift exit. Tiredness is also factor, with 36 per cent of all adults admitting they worry in advance about how they'll feel the morning after. Further to this, 37 per cent Read more Showbiz But it might not have the desired effect - 51 per cent of all adults typically emerge from their The research was commissioned by It comes as 40 per cent of those polled revealed they like to get up as normal after a gig, while 38 per cent like to sleep in late and have a 'lazy day.' Will Best said: 'I go to lots of gigs, but I still have to get up early for breakfast radio, so while I have fun and definitely indulge in some questionable dad dancing, I still like to wind down properly afterwards.

This is especially prevalent in Gen Z (21 per cent and 17 per cent) and Millennials (29 per cent and 17 per cent) - suggesting younger generations take different approaches to the overall gig experience. Carried out through OnePoll, the study also identified the most anticipated shows of the summer with Ed Sheeran topping the poll, ahead of Oasis who came second. Third place went to Beyoncé, with Billie Eilish fourth and Olivia Rodrigo fifth. Holiday Inn Express spokesperson, John Wright, said: "As the research shows gig goers have different approaches - some are night owls who stay up until dawn, while some are self-care enthusiasts who prefer a more relaxed concert experience. 'It's important that everyone can enjoy iconic summer concerts, and the morning after, in a way that suits them best. "Our Fresh or Fried care packages were designed with these distinct personas and gig routines and behaviours in mind."
