The star has even provided crucial insight into what Oasis' Gen-Z fans might want to hear on the reunion tour THE MASTERPLAN Real reason Oasis reunited – and it's all down to woman who has already picked the setlist including rarely heard hits Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT is the biggest reunion in rock – but Oasis's comeback may not have happened at all if it hadn't been for some delicate, behind-the-scenes diplomacy by one particular person. Step forward Anais Gallagher, Noel's eldest daughter, who has been revealed as the gutsy go-between who has seemingly pulled off what years of fan pleading and big-money offers failed to do. 7 Feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have put differences aside to reunite Oasis Credit: Getty 7 The Gallagher brothers finally announced their reunion in August 2024 Credit: Instagram/Oasis 7 The band have recently begun rehearsals together ahead of their long-awaited reunion tour Credit: Alamy 7 Noel Gallagher's daughter Anais brought her dad and uncle Liam together for the biggest reunion in music Credit: Getty And the plucky model has even had a hand in helping shape the band's set list, by providing crucial insight into what the Mancunian legends' Gen-Z fans might want to hear on the 41-date reunion tour. The Sun can reveal that Anais, who is from Noel's first marriage to Meg Mathews, worked tirelessly to reconcile her dad and uncle following Noel's split from Sara MacDonald. So Anais, 25, figured the breakdown of her dad's marriage could be an opportunity to get her old man back together with his feisty brother and the band that made him a megastar. An insider said: 'Anais was one of the biggest sources of comfort and support for Noel following his divorce. "She was the one that was helping him get back on his feet and return to doing things he loved that had fallen by the wayside. 'Over the years, Noel had offered an olive branch to Liam, but he'd never taken it up. 'Anais could tell her dad really wanted both his brothers, Liam and Paul, by his side after the split so was determined to get them back in touch. Fighting with Noel 'She gets on great with Liam's sons Gene and Lennon so she asked them if their dad would be willing to hear her out. 'They said they thought he would be receptive, so she then asked Liam to reach out to his brother to lend support. 'Liam's always wanted Oasis back together so he got in touch.' Inside Noel & Liam Gallagher's first Oasis show in 16 years at surprise venue where they enraged neighbour Ironically, the Wonderwall crooners fell out back in May 2000 because Liam allegedly questioned the paternity of Anais while fighting with Noel in Spain — leading Noel to leave the band for a second time. Anais has maintained a close relationship with outspoken Liam, who is saved in her phone as 'uncle'. Anais, who has modelled for Dolce and Gabbana, is close friends with her cousins Gene, 23, and Lennon, 25, and the group often go on nights out together. Anais was one of the biggest sources of comfort and support for Noel following his divorce Insider Fans had hoped Noel's divorce would lead to a reconciliation for the band, but they were left hanging for more than a year. The source said: 'It was all very slow-going behind the scenes to get the brothers talking again. 'Anais spending so much time with her dad allowed her to realise how much he missed his brother, despite the jibes they both made. 'It enabled her to plant the idea of a reconciliation on both sides. Thanks to her close relationship with Liam, she was able to call him. 'She worked hard to make sure they didn't look back in anger, if you like. 'Once Liam called Noel, the rest was left up to them.' The brothers announced their reunion in August last year, sparking a frenzy as fans went into overdrive to get their hands on tickets. It's expected that the band will make millions from their world tour, which kicks off in July. 7 Noel's split from Sara MacDonald was an opportunity for him and Liam to talk again Credit: Getty 7 Anais is Noel's child from his marriage to Meg Matthews Credit: Getty And in further good news for Liam, he is about to become a grandfather for the first time. His daughter Molly Moorish, 27, announced two weeks ago she was expecting her first child with Liverpool footballer boyfriend Nathaniel Phillips. Molly, whose mother Lisa had a short-lived relationship with Liam in 1998, was estranged from her dad for 19 years but they are reconciled. In interviews, Anais said: 'With my family, what you see is what you get. They are really hard-working people. 'With my dad, I would always go to him for help or advice — it's very funny that a rock star from the 90s is like the most level-headed person I know. 'He's definitely the guiding force in my life.' Liam's always wanted Oasis back together so he got in touch Insider And it's safe to say that Anais has Noel's ear. Last month, The Sun revealed that she had encouraged her dad to distance himself from disgraced comedian Russell Brand. Limit hangovers Brand has been charged with rape and sexual assaults relating to four women. He has denied all the allegations. A source said: 'Anais realised that her dad's close links to Brand wasn't a good look. "She's very PR savvy. There was a discussion and Noel agreed cutting ties was best. 'Anais, Noel, and the rest of the family are horrified at Brand's alleged behaviour and had no idea what was going on.' And her influence on Noel doesn't end there. She is helping to run her dad's social media and is on his company's payroll. The source said: 'Anais does a lot on social media to make money, so it's a natural fit for her to help her dad out. 'She knows what does and doesn't work for Generation Z, whereas Noel doesn't. 'It's given them more of a chance to bond. "Noel hired her because she is genuinely good at her job, not because she is his child.' The dedicated daughter is also helping with the song selection for the tour. The source added: 'Anais has helped with the tour set list by looking at what has done well on TikTok with the younger generation. 'As a result, [the song] Bonehead's Bank Holiday will be played live by Oasis for the first time. "They'll also play Digsy's Dinner, and Talk Tonight. 'She wants to help Oasis gain younger fans as well as their long-standing fans.' The Oasis reunion announcement has been marred by older fans hitting out at younger people getting tickets, something Anais has been very vocal about on social media. On TikTok, she wrote: 'One thing I won't stand for is the ageism and the misogyny around people getting tickets. 'Sorry, if a 19-year-old girl in a pink cowboy hat wants to be there, I will have my friendship bracelets ready.' Grumpy fans have claimed that the band would hate stuff put up by young people on TikTok. Sometimes people put this hyper-aggressive masculine ideology into what they think that my dad and my uncle are going to be like Anais Gallagher In an interview with Hello! Anais hit back, saying they were wrong. She told the magazine: 'I see this all the time, actually, where someone will post a funny video or a cover song and people would say '[Oasis] would hate this'. 'No, no, you hate this. "Sometimes people put this hyper-aggressive masculine ideology into what they think that my dad and my uncle are going to be like. 'They're actually a lot more accepting than the fans are.' Anais plans to be stage-side to support her father throughout the reunion run. She joked in an interview that her aims for the year were to: 'Limit the amount of hangovers I have after all the Oasis concerts, remember to take my supplements and drink a lot of water.' Whether she can manage to keep her dad and uncle in a similar state remains to be seen. 7 Liam's lads Gene and Lennon are close with Anais Credit: Getty Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

Ajio says it's okay to overdress
HighlightsAjio's Big Bold Sale campaign, titled 'Because Fashion', celebrates the spontaneous and over-the-top decisions made by fashion lovers, encouraging them to dress stylishly regardless of the occasion. The campaign features four quirky films showcasing prominent personalities such as Ranvijay Singha, Avneet Kaur, Vedhika, and Faizal Shaikh, each styled extravagantly in everyday settings. Ajio aims to amplify the idea that it is acceptable to overdress and make bold fashion statements, with the campaign now live across various digital platforms including Instagram and YouTube. Ajio's has launched its latest campaign for its Big Bold Sale which leans into a truth fashion lovers know all too well: when the fit is right and the price is right, there's zero need for logic. Titled 'Because Fashion', the campaign highlights the spontaneous, over-the-top and irrational decisions fashion fans make. From dressing like it's fashion week just to go grab chaat, to serving looks while smashing serves on the pickleball court. The campaign brings to life four quirky films set across a food street, a dull government office, a local train, and a fast-paced pickleball match where protagonists show up styled to the gods, in places that clearly didn't call for it. But that's the point. With deals this good, why wait for an occasion? Just go, 'because fashion'. The films feature Ranvijay Singha, channelling his epic streetwear looks and sneakerhead energy, bringing maximum glam to a minimal office. Avneet Kaur, whose Gen-Z fandom is unmatched, spices up a food street with her bold looks. Vedhika, a crowd-favourite in the South, rocks Ajio's trendiest drops in a pickleball showdown. And Faizal Shaikh, with a massive online following, proves that bold looks don't need bold budgets, raising the temperatures in a jam-packed bogie of a local train. An Ajio spokesperson said, 'With the Big Bold Sale, we wanted to amplify that behaviour, to say it's okay to overdress, to clash colours, to strut through a sabzi mandi in platform heels.' Suyash Barve, head of creative at Manja, the agency behind the campaign, added, 'That behaviour, combined with Ajio's Big Bold Sale, helped us create a world where the fashion forward don't shy away from making a statement, no matter where they are.' The campaign is now live across Ajio's digital channels, including Instagram, YouTube, and in-app, with targeted amplification on leading pop-culture and fashion platforms. Watch the videos here:
