Oasis might be back to play a handful of shows, but not to create new music

Hopes that Liam and Noel Gallagher’s reformed band will record and release new music have been categorically dashed by Oasis manager Alec McKinlay. McKinlay acknowledges that the team surrounding Oasis was “bowled over” by the “phenomenal” global response to the group’s return, which he acknowledges was “way beyond our expectations,” in an exclusive interview with UK music industry bible Music Week, which celebrates the return of the London-based, Manchester-raised Britpop stars. Despite the desire to see the brothers and whatever else is on the Oasis lineup in 2025, McKinlay maintains that the band will not be expanding their tour schedule beyond the 41 dates that have already been confirmed.

This is very much the last time around, as Noel’s made clear in the press. It’s a chance for fans who haven’t seen the band to see them or at least for some of them to.

In an interview with NME last month, Stereophonics vocalist Kelly Jones revealed that Oasis‘ lead songwriter had been “doing some writing in the studio” when he last spoke with Noel Gallagher. This fueled speculation (and hopes) that a new Oasis album might be in the works. Their manager, who also serves as a director of the band’s Big Brother Recordings label, disputes this.

No, there’s no plan for any new music.
