Liam Gallagher stuns fans by claiming Oasis won't perform fan-favourite
Liam Gallagher has left Oasis fans stunned by claiming the Britpop legends won't be including 'Acquiesce' in their 'Oasis Live '25 Tour' setlist. Frontman Liam and guitarist Noel Gallagher are set to perform together for the first time in 16 years at rehearsals on Tuesday (03.06.25) - ahead of the tour kicking off on July 4 in Cardiff. Responding to a fan on X, Liam confirmed; "Yes Rasta D I'm in Tuesday to blow there minds (sic)." Liam has also been answering fans' questions about what songs will be played by the band. He confirmed that 'Rock N Roll Star' is "getting played". However, 'Acquiesce', which Liam performed at his solo shows with female backing singers, didn't make the cut. One fan asked: "You gonna sing Acquiesce with Noel at the Heaton park gigs for us Liam?" To which, Liam replied: "That's not on the list, sorry." Disappointed fans chimed in: "You can't do this to us." Another wrote: "Better get it sorted Liam be a lot of disappointed fans if that don't make the set. Wonderwall can do one." It is, however, worth taking everything Liam says on X with a pinch of salt. 'Acquiesce' was the B-side to Oasis' first UK number-one single, 1995's 'Some Might Say', and featured dual vocals from the Gallagher brothers. Oasis split in 2009, when Noel left the band over a backstage fight with his sibling at Rock en Seine festival in Paris. He said in a statement at the time: 'People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.' However, the Gallagher siblings thrilled fans last year, when they announced Oasis' comeback after 15 years. They wrote on X: 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."

Liam and Noel Gallagher ‘still haven't rehearsed together' despite Oasis tour just weeks away
The Oasis reunion tour is, quite literally, around the corner, but it seems rehearsals aren't exactly a military operation. In fact, it's believed brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher haven't rehearsed together yet at all… despite their run of stadium shows kicking off in July. Older sibling Noel, 58, has been busy working on musical arrangements and fine-tuning the set list ahead of the first concert in Cardiff on July 4. It's believed the opening and closing songs have also been finalised, as the gigs will begin with Acquiesce before ending with the classic Champagne Supernova, which will undoubtedly delight crowds. As for Liam, 52, it's claimed he's yet to get in the studio with Noel, with whom he hasn't performed for over 15 years. This includes fellow performers Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell, and Mikey Rowe. As per publicists for the band in a comment to the Daily Mail, the once-feuding brothers simply want to avoid being seen together until the very moment they step out onto the stage at the Principality Stadium in 34 days. However, not everyone is convinced by the explanation, given that Liam and Noel managed to arrive separately to film an Adidas ad last month before also leaving at different times, which they could also do with tour rehearsals. Instead, Liam – who is set to become a grandfather for the first time in a matter of months – is chilling at his £4million mansion in the South of France with his girlfriend, Debbie Gwyther. As per an insider, it's said the Oasis double act are taking the 'Rolling Stones protocol' on board for their own tour, which refers to how rock legends Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards would be kept apart as much as possible to avoid friction, given that they slept with one another's girlfriends and had personal beef. So, it seems Liam and Noel hope their operation will run much more smoothly by following in their footsteps, despite there being barely any time left until their 41-date, hotly anticipated tour begins this summer. Expanding on what could possibly jeopardise the tour's success, a source added: 'Everyone knows that with Liam's personality, hostilities could break out at any moment. 'If Noel takes the bait, then there could easily be a meltdown.' The insider added that Liam is keen to 'rest' his voice at the moment; hence, he's been 'relaxing' and 'spending time with his mum, Peggy,' before the madness ensues. And while things are still appearing a little frosty, there is reason to be hopeful the creases will be ironed out in the coming weeks to avoid an awkward atmosphere on stage. 'They will jam and work out a set list, and Liam will be the last one to join in with the vocals,' added the mole. 'There is plenty of time and Liam is a born rock 'n' roll star who has lived and breathed these songs and performed a lot of them in his solo shows, so he doesn't need much rehearsal.' For their UK leg, the Wonderwall hitmakers will perform multiple shows in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Dublin. To the euphoria of international fans, they're also set to take their tour to Asia, Australia, North America, and South America, meaning they'll be on the road until late November. Surely it'll be worth it, though, as Liam and Noel are estimated to rake in as much as £50million each from the reunion we all never thought would happen. 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,' their tour announcement said last August. Oasis disbanded in August 2009 due to the tensions between Liam and Noel, with their conflict reaching boiling point just before a scheduled performance at V Festival.

Liam Gallagher devastates fans as he says beloved song won't be on Oasis setlist
Liam Gallagher has been addressing questions over the set list for Oasis reunion tour in recent weeks (Image: Corbis via Getty Images) Band member Liam Gallagher has addressed speculation over the set list for the Oasis reunion tour. The singer-songwriter will take to the stage with his brother Noel Gallagher for the first time in more than a decade over the summer. Liam, 52, and Noel, 57, will perform at venues in the UK and Ireland later this year as part of the Oasis Live '25 Tour. Ahead of the tour's opening night in July, there has been excitement over the potential songs that the band could perform. In recent weeks, Liam has addressed questions about the set list on X. It's included telling his followers that Rock 'N' Roll Star is "getting played" and that Oasis will be "doing" Hey Now, though he previously said that wasn't the case. Last week, he was met with disappointment after telling fans that Acquiesce wasn't on the set list for gigs in Manchester. The song was originally released as the B-side to Oasis' chart-topping single Some Might Say back in 1995. A fan asked him on the platform: "You gonna sing Acquiesce with Noel at the Heaton park gigs for us Liam?" Liam responded by writing: "That's not on the list sorry." One person reacted: "You can't do this to us." Another said: "No way. Wtf Liam. Tgats one of the best oasis songs." A third said: "You pair simply have to sign acquiesce, it wouldn't be right getting back together and not signing that together." Someone else teased: "Oh my people are gonna cry!"

There have been reports that the song isn't being included on the set list due to its connection to convicted paedophile Gary Glitter. As previously reported, Hello is the opening track from Oasis' album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? and includes lyrics from the disgraced singer's 1973 song Hello, I'm Back Again as well as featuring the melody of the original song. One fan shared a screengrab from an article about the speculation earlier this month and asked: "Is it true Liam?" Liam responded by telling them at the time: "We'll be playing HELLO trust me." Ahead of opening night, Liam has been addressing questions from fans about the set list (Image: JOERG KOCH/DDP/AFP via Getty Images) More recently, Liam was asked last week if the set list for the tour can be "tweaked if necessary". He commented: "Of course and I'm sure it will were very flexible." He previously said that the set list was finished and that Hey Now wasn't included, though he's since said otherwise. He wrote on May 12: "The setlist is done and I'm afraid it didn't make it now don't take it personally and call me hurty names as it's not my fault we can't play them all." Earlier this year, Liam appeared to suggest that none of his solo songs will be included. He was asked by a fan: "Which solo song of yours would you include in the oasis live setlist if you could?" He teased in his response: "None." Like this story? For more of the latest showbiz news and gossip, follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .
