A source, who has a guest list ticket for one of the shows in Heaton Park, claimed they will be spending time separately following the shows.
They told The Sun: 'You might be seeing Oasis on stage but you will not be seeing Liam and Noel together afterwards.
'Each of them had a VIP list where their friends and famous fans could buy their tickets.
'But depending on which brother you got your ticket off, it's their green room and after-party you're invited to.
'It's gutting for people who want to hang out with both of them but it seems they're keeping it all at a distance.'
Despite the separate parties, the duo seem to be working well together, with Liam telling his fans he's loved working with Noel again.
The Oasis Live 25 tour kicks off on 4 July at Cardiff's Principality Stadium before playing sell-out gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park, Wembley Stadium in London, and Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium.
The Brit pop band will then head over to America, South America and Asia in 2025.

Watch the awkward Love Island moment that ‘proves' two girls are feuding, say fans
LOVE Island fans have called out an awkward moment which they reckon "proves" two villa beauties are locked in a fued. It came as the ITV2 show cast switched to their PJs and bedded down in the communal room ahead of last night's brutal first eviction. 6 6 6 Manchester beauty Shakira Khan, 22, was left unattached when Toni, 24, stole her man Ben, 23, graft with all her male housemates. On Monday's episode, Shakira was told by Love Island anchor Maya Jama, 30, she would be dumped on Tuesday's episode if she didn't recouple with a partner. And after scenes showed her grafting hard and flirting with all the Love Island 2025 male line-up, branding one a "minx" before praising another's "good vibe," she headed to bed alone. Yet fans were quick to call out a catty comment by Meg as they prepared for lights out. Despite question marks around her own coupling, with fans convinced Meg isn't attracted to Dejon "at all", she appeared quick to stir the pot over Shakira's single status. She pointed out Toni and Ben were sleeping close by her and pointedly said: "Shakira, I just realised you're sleeping dead opposite, awkward." One fan was quick to remark on the apparent feud on X and put: "Meg KILLS me." Another put: "Meg and Helena are beefing Shakira." A third posted: "'sorry but awkward,' yeah thanks Meg we could tell," as another put: "Meg looks awkward!" Yet the scenes came before a dramatic end to the episode, which saw Shakira picks Harry Cooksley after he stood up to reveal a connection for her - meaning Sophie Lee was dumped from the island immediately. Watch awkward moment Love Island's Shakira desperately grafts to stay in the villa - and show rivals are furious Over on Reddit, fans also noted the frosty atmosphere between the girls. One wrote: "Mean girl accusations on episode 2. The show has officially begun." Another added: "It was so b****y, especially from blonde Megan she was doing the absolute most." A third agreed and put: "Dunno why Meg was getting involved, she was always safe with Dejon." SECRET SPAT? Love Island 2025 - current couples LOVE Island's 2025 cast have already undergone a shake-up, here are the latest couples: It came after viewers were convinced there was an unaired argument between Shakira and former show partner Ben. It came amid the unexpected arrival of American bombshell Toni, 24. Yet before the Las Vegas pool cabana server caused chaos by stealing Ben, fan noted supposed bad blood between one pair. Fans reckoned Shakira, who offended swathes of viewers as she made a stark comment about 9-5 jobs, had also irked her partner too. They noted a strange vibe between the model and taxi driver Ben after they were coupled up, and one fan took to X to muse: "Shakira and Ben are clashing already yikes yikes yikesssss." Another quizzed: "Did I miss something between Ben and Shakira - why does everyone hate each other?" A third wrote: "Can we just get a brand new cast I don't like this one." The awkward attitude came shortly before ITV2 viewers threatened to call Ofcom after Shakira was left single - when Toni chose her man to couple up with. Yet show fans already suspect issues with the new couple, claiming Ben simply "doesn't fancy" the American bombshell. 6 6 6

The real reason Kate Middleton broke the dress code on her visit to the V&A
The Princess of Wales cut a very trendy figure as she visited the new V&A East Storehouse in London yesterday - but one aspect of her outfit appeared to break the dress code. Kate, 43, stepped out for her first engagement of the month - and her first since returning from the half-term break - in a chic trouser suit by designer Alexander McQueen for the event, along with a white scoop-neck top. For her accessories, the princess opted for a stylish belt, Laura Lombardi chain necklace, and a pair of sleek black heels from Prada. But while Kate looked incredibly elegant, technically speaking, she did break a little-known style rule during her visit with her choice of footwear. 'We recommend wearing practical clothing and flat shoes,' the V&A East Storehouse's website reads. 'The metal grid flooring is not suitable for stilettos or kitten heels.' However, the princess appeared completely at ease and masterfully managed the uneven floors, even while wearing a pair of challenging heels. When asked about Kate's choice of footwear, Tristram Hunt, the director of the V&A, told PEOPLE magazine: 'She is a pro! She dealt with that!' He added: 'She had a super energy. She was very energetic and focused. We last saw her about two years ago. 'She retains this great passion and interest in creativity and making and design. It was wonderful to be able to host her.' The mother-of-three has repeatedly made wearing heels look easy over the years - even while playing sports, wearing pumps on grass and attending horse racing events such as Royal Ascot. In 2012, Kate even wore heels to play a game of hockey and, more recently in 2022, kicked a football in heels during an engagement with her husband Prince William. She even wore her beloved shoe in her first pictures with Prince Louis in 2018 as she stepped outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital. The princess' last public engagement was a ship-naming ceremony in Glasgow on May 22, after which she enjoyed the half-term holiday with her children. The entire Wales family will, however, be present at Saturday's iconic Trooping the Colour in London, sources told the Mail. Aides added that the 'cadence' of the princess' public engagements is still as was announced earlier this year, involving a slow and measured return to public life following her cancer diagnosis last year. Palace aides said the 'cadence' of the princess' public engagements is still as was announced earlier this year, involving a slow and measured return to public life following her cancer diagnosis last year After she arrived at the buzzy east London venue, she was given a behind-the-scenes tour and learnt about the work that goes into conserving and displaying some of the amazing objects stored, including the largest Picasso work in the world Happily she announced in January that she is now officially in remission. Created in partnership with young people and inspired by east London's creative heritage, the new V&A East Storehouse - a world first - has been built to ensure the nation's creative works are available to all. Spanning four levels and bigger than 30 basketball courts, Storehouse is a new kind of museum experience giving visitors the chance to see behind the scenes of a working museum, explore why and how objects get collected by museums, find out how they are cared for, and uncover the stories they tell about us and our world. Wherever possible, glass and barriers have been removed, and visitors will be able to get closer to objects than ever before. Kate's two-hour visit ran over by 30 minutes as she was so engrossed in the artefacts and artwork on display. The Collections Access team have all been recruited from the local area and the Princess got the chance to engage with a new 'Order an Object' service, where anyone can book a free appointment to view an object up close and have a one-on-one session with the a member of the team. Kate, who studied for a degree in arts history at University of St Andrews, began her tour behind the scenes where thousands of exhibits are being cared for before going on display. Marvelling at a William Morris designed screen she remarked: 'Wow. Love the twist here.' Speaking to Tim Reeve, deputy director at the V&A, she added: 'What a fantastic idea. What an opportunity for everyone to see these historic pieces in first person. It's so eclectic. And all parts of the process of displaying and curating.' During her tour behind the scene she pulled on protective gloves to caress a 19th century riding habit, remarking: 'It's so delicate.' She was also shown a 1970s 'photogram' dress and said: 'It's really interesting as fashion designers are also using screen prints and photographs.' Fashion fan Kate also immediately identified a black and gold coat dress was by British fashion designer Alexander McQueen. She said: 'You see a certain shape and you know the designer.' The princess, who is patron of the V&A, also joined staff collecting new photos for the archive and online search portal. The museum team needed to photograph a 1943 ballet shoe worn by Alice Markova at a performance of Giselle at the Old Vic, who had signed its inside sole and penned a special message. Watching how it was photographed for the collection, Kate said: 'Gosh it's so small and I like the fact you can see her handwriting.' Venturing into the public area, which was thronged by visitors unaware of the princess's unannounced visit, she marvelled at the largest Picasso artwork in the world. Joined by Tristram Hunt, director of the V&A, she was entranced by the fabric which was backdrop for the 1924 Ballets Russes production of Le Train Bleu, and signed by the artist. Mingling with the public in the vast Weston Collections Hall she also looked impressed at the previously locked-up artefacts out on show for visitors. But she was forced to hold carefully onto the glass railing as she walked along the metal grid floor on her high heels. The V&A website recommends visitors wearing practical clothing and flat shoes, saying the metal grid flooring is not suitable for 'stilettos or kitten heels'. The storehouse also allows visitors to book online to view up to five objects in a study room. The princess had her own private viewing time with five items which the press were allowed in. Speaking afterwards Tim Reeve said the princess ordered to see a musical instrument, some William Morris fabric samples and items 'relating to nature'. Cristina Juan, Head of Phillipine Studies at SOAS, was working in one of the rooms after ordering five textiles for research. She told Kate: 'It's amazing as I've been waiting for three years.' Speaking afterwards, she added: 'I didn't know she was coming. Now they've opened this and I can order online they take out of storage whatever you like. The Princess of Wales in the Cloth Working Centre at the newly-opened V&A East Storehouse in Hackney Wick The Princess of Wales with (left to right) the director of the V&A Tristram Hunt, the deputy director of the V&A, Tim Reeve, chair of the V&A Baroness Shafik and the director of the V&A East, Gus Casely-Hayford, at the V&A East Storehouse, a brand-new cultural destination in east London 'Now it's as easy as ordering from Uber.' The idea of opening up the storehouse to the public was dreamed up after the V&A learned in 2015 it had to move its archives from an old building. Ahead of Kate's visit, a Kensington Palace spokesman said: 'Her Royal Highness' engagement today is all about highlighting the importance of creative opportunity and celebrating the power of creativity to bring us joy.' After she left the Hackney Wick venue, Tim Reeve said of the V&A's royal visitor: 'There's no doubt about it she is a great supporter of the arts. 'She has been really interested in this project and it's clear she loves the idea of what we are trying to do here with back of house and to be a member of the public seeing behind the scenes. 'She really understood she was sharing it with the public and everyone sharing the same space. 'She really wanted to see it as the public saw it and didn't want to impose.' The V&A East Storehouse has more than half a million artefacts including 350,000 library books, 250,000 objects and thousands of letters, posters and flyers - including the Glastonbury Festival archives. Kate, who studied for a degree in arts history at University of St Andrews, began her tour behind the scenes where thousands of exhibits are being cared for before going on display. It also contains dresses which belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II, Keith Moon's drum kit, shoes designed by Zahra Hadid and a petal from the London 2012 opening ceremony cauldron. Visitors can also see a section of the 1960s Robin Hood Gardens housing project, in Poplar, East London which has now been demolished. In September it will open the David Bowie Centre after securing his estate's archives including letters, instruments and costumes. Last month, Kate officially named HMS Glasgow by smashing a bottle of local Scottish whisky against its hull. Keeping her look suitably nautical for the outing, the royal sported a navy and white £1,850 coat dress from British brand Suzannah London and a matching statement hat from Philip Treacy, first worn at Trooping the Colour in 2024. As the couple departed, one wellwisher from the crowd couldn't resist telling the princess, 'you're beautiful!' And in an effort not to leave her husband out, they added: 'You too, William!', in footage recorded by local news outlet Clyde News. Clearly amused by the surprise compliment, William, 42, quipped: 'You don't have to say that, don't worry!' The crowd then burst into laughter at his self-deprecating comment, as the couple bid goodbye after a busy afternoon. Earlier, stepping up onto a podium before a crowd of several hundred BAE employees, their families and the 45-strong ship's company, Kate uttered the time-honoured words: 'I have the pleasure to name this ship HMS Glasgow, may God bless her and all who sail on her'. The Princess then flicked up a small red 'launch' button to release a bottle of exclusive single malt whisky made by the nearby Clydeside Distillery. The ceremonial act is said to bring good luck and fortune to the vessel and its crew. The distillery opened its doors in 2017, the same year that the HMS Glasgow build began, marking what is considered the start of two modern icons of Glasgow's maritime heritage. Each bottle of the whisky sold will include a donation to HMS Glasgow's chosen charity, Place2Be, of which the Princess is patron, and which supports children's mental health in the city. The Princess was named sponsor of the 8,000-tonne warship, a state-of-the-art Type 26 anti-submarine frigate, in June 2021 and is said to hold 'a real interest' in the ship 'and in the lives of those who will serve onboard'. A year later, Kate met Royal Navy sailors from HMS Glasgow at Windsor Castle to hear about the ship's progress and their experiences in the Royal Navy.
