Noel Gallagher has said that you ‘should never say never’ when posed with the possibility of an Oasis reunion. The Burnage icon made the comments in an interview with BBC Radio Manchester.
Asked by interviewer Mike Sweeney ‘how you and your kid getting on these days’, Noel replied: “Brilliantly.” “Genuinely?” said Sweeney, slightly incredulous. “Genuinely,” replied Noel, adding: “He’s taken a year off apparently to find himself.”
Sweeney then asked whether he could ever see a time when he and Liam might find ‘brotherly peace’ together and that the band might play again together, to which Noel replied: “One should never say never, right, but I have to be honest and for no other reason than if Oasis hadn’t fulfilled its potential…

“Like The Stone Roses, when they came back right, they didn’t really fulfil their potential, so it was worthwhile for them to come back. Oasis smashed it, repeatedly, for 20-odd years. It would have to take an extraordinary set of circumstances, but that’s not to say that those circumstances wouldn’t ever come about.”
While the rumours of an Oasis reunion have swung back and forth over the years, for his part Liam Gallagher said as recently as last year that a reunion was 'not going to happen'. In a rant last October, Liam branded Noel a 'sad little dwarf', after Noel blocked the use of Oasis songs on a documentary Liam is making about his return gigs at Knebworth in 2022, 26 years after Oasis played there.

In a series of increasingly angry tweets, Liam said: "No Oasis songs as the angry squirt has blocked them he also blocked the Oasis song for Taylor Hawkins tribute [,] he’s a horrible little man.
"What he says and does are 2 different things he’s a sad little dwarf.” In a later tweet he said: “You can stop up using those songs but you cannot erase our memories shame on you Noel Gallagher.”
Noel and his band the High Flying Birds are all set to play a homecoming show at Wythenshawe Park this summer. The first time that the park has hosted a major music event, the band will play its first headline performance since 2019 on August 26.
Support will come from Primal Scream and Future Islands.
