“There won’t be any new music”: Noel Gallagher shuts down hopes of new Oasis material as the band prepares to hit the road again

Following the enormous success of the Liam and Noel Gallagher’s 2025 live reunion – and confirmation that Oasis will be heading back out on the road in 2027 – attention has inevitably turned to whether the reunion might eventually produce something else: new music.

According to Noel Gallagher, however, fans probably shouldn’t get their hopes up.

Speaking to talkSPORT’s Andy Goldstein following the announcement of Oasis’ newly expanded Live ’27 tour, Gallagher was asked whether the band’s return would extend beyond the stage and into the studio.

“There won’t be any new music,” Gallagher says.

And when Goldstein offered him the opportunity to elaborate, Noel simply declined before the conversation moved on.

It’s a fairly definitive answer to a question that has followed Oasis almost from the moment their reunion was announced.

After all, while Liam and Noel finally returned to the stage together in 2025 following a 16-year separation, the band’s recording career effectively remains frozen where they left it.

Oasis’ last studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, was recorded primarily at Abbey Road Studios during 2007 before being released in October 2008. Featuring tracks including The Shock of the Lightning, I’m Outta Time and Falling Down, it would ultimately become the band’s final studio record before their split the following year.

Falling Down, released as a single in March 2009, was the final Oasis single issued before the breakup, although the recording itself came from the Dig Out Your Soul sessions.

In other words, despite Oasis once again functioning as a live band, it has now been almost two decades since Liam and Noel entered a studio together to make an Oasis album.

And the possibility of changing that has been repeatedly played down.

Ahead of the 2025 reunion tour, Oasis co-manager Alec McKinlay said there was “no plan for any new music,” framing the comeback primarily as an opportunity for fans to see the band live again.

Of course, what has changed is just how long that live reunion is now going to last.

Oasis initially returned in July 2025, beginning in Cardiff before taking their Live ’25 tour through the UK and Ireland and on to North America, Asia, Australia and South America.

And according to Noel, it didn’t take particularly long for the band to realise they wanted to continue.

“It was after the second Wembley show,” Gallagher says of the decision to tour again.

“Nobody really knew what was going to happen or how it was going to go.”

By the time the band reached Wembley in July 2025, however, Noel says the decision had effectively been made.

“We were having such a great time that… why wouldn’t you?” he explains.

The result is Oasis Live ’27 – a newly announced 38-date stadium tour that will begin with five nights at Glasgow’s Celtic Park in May before moving to the band’s hometown for an extraordinary 11 shows at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium.

From there, Oasis will travel through Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and Rome before heading to Boston and Las Vegas in August.

They’ll then return this side of the Atlantic for two shows at Ireland’s Slane Castle before finishing with four nights at Knebworth in September – just over 30 years after the band’s historic 1996 appearances there.
