Now Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit the wild ride that’s been Oasis—from their meteoric rise in the ’90s to the epic fallout, and now, the most anticipated reunion of the decade.

Before Oasis: The Gallagher Brothers’ Early Years

Before they were the headline-grabbing, swagger-filled rock stars we know today, the Gallagher brothers had a less-than-glamorous start. Born and raised in Burnage, Manchester, Liam and Noel grew up in a working-class family, with music as their main escape. Their father was abusive, leading Noel to often retreat to his room, where he began teaching himself guitar. Liam, on the other hand, was more of a rebellious teenager, known more for his sharp tongue and attitude than any musical talent at the time.

Liam’s interest in music didn’t truly ignite until his late teens when he started listening to bands like The Stone Roses and The Smiths. This newfound passion pushed him to join a local band called The Rain, which would eventually become Oasis. Noel, who had been working as a roadie for the Inspiral Carpets, soon took an interest in Liam’s band, but not just as an observer. He had his sights set on taking control and steering the band toward greatness.

The Birth of Oasis: Rock ‘n’ Roll Starts Here

Oasis didn’t just stroll onto the music scene—they bulldozed through it. Formed in Manchester in 1991, the band initially featured Liam Gallagher, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan, and Tony McCarroll. But it was when Liam’s older brother, Noel, joined the band that Oasis became something else entirely. With Noel’s knack for writing anthemic tunes and Liam’s swaggering, snarl-infused vocals, Oasis quickly became the band to watch.

Their debut album, Definitely Maybe, dropped in 1994, and it wasn’t just a hit; it was a cultural shift. The album captured the raw energy of the Britpop movement, with tracks like “Supersonic” and “Live Forever” that were both brash and oddly poetic. The Gallagher brothers were rock stars in every sense—big egos, bigger fights, and an even bigger sound.

The Peak: (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?

By the time their second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, came out in 1995, Oasis was more than just a band; they were a phenomenon. The album sold millions, powered by hits like “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and “Champagne Supernova.” These weren’t just songs; they were anthems that defined a generation.

Following the massive success of the album, Oasis embarked on one of the most legendary tours in rock history. Their 1996 (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? tour was nothing short of monumental, with sold-out shows across the globe. The pinnacle of this tour was their two-night stand at Knebworth Park in August 1996, where they played to a staggering 250,000 fans over the course of two days. Demand for tickets was unprecedented, with over 2.6 million people applying for a chance to see the band, making it one of the most significant live events in British music history. This was Oasis at their zenith, commanding crowds with an unmatched stage presence and a back catalog of anthems that had become the soundtrack of a generation.

But with success came the inevitable fallout. The Gallagher brothers’ relationship, always volatile, began to show cracks. Their infamous fights became as legendary as their music. On stage, in interviews, backstage—if there was a way to feud, Liam and Noel found it. Yet, despite the constant turmoil, the music kept coming.

The Decline: Be Here Now and Beyond

Oasis’ third album, Be Here Now, released in 1997, was hyped beyond belief. Everyone expected it to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. But while the album sold well initially, it didn’t have the staying power of its predecessors. The songs were longer, the production heavier, and the magic seemed to wane.

The late ’90s and early 2000s were a rocky period for the band. Lineup changes, mixed reviews, and the increasing animosity between Liam and Noel took their toll. By the time Heathen Chemistry dropped in 2002, the Britpop bubble had burst, and Oasis was no longer the fresh face of British music.

The Breakup: Too Big for One Stage

By 2009, the writing was on the wall. Oasis’ last album, Dig Out Your Soul, was a return to form in many ways, but the tensions within the band had reached a boiling point. The breaking point came in Paris, where a pre-gig fight between the Gallagher brothers led to Noel quitting the band. Oasis, as the world knew it, was over.

Both brothers went on to have successful solo careers—Noel with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Liam with Beady Eye and later as a solo artist. But despite their success, the shadow of Oasis loomed large. Fans and the media kept asking, “Will they ever get back together?”

Life After Oasis: The Gallagher Brothers’ Solo Success

After the bitter split, the Gallagher brothers went their separate ways, both musically and personally. Noel was the first to move on, forming Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. With this new band, he continued to craft the kind of anthemic rock songs that had made Oasis famous, but with a more polished and mature sound. Albums like Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds (2011) and Who Built the Moon? (2017) were critical and commercial successes, establishing Noel as a respected solo artist in his own right.

Liam, meanwhile, wasn’t about to let his older brother hog the spotlight. He initially formed Beady Eye with the remaining members of Oasis, releasing two albums that received a lukewarm reception. However, it was when Liam launched his solo career that he truly stepped out of his brother’s shadow. His debut solo album, As You Were (2017), was a smash hit, bringing back the raw energy and attitude that fans had missed. His follow-up albums, Why Me? Why Not. (2019) and C’mon You Know (2022), further cemented his place in the music world as a solo performer.

The Oasis Reunion 2025: A New Dawn?

Fast forward to 2025, and against all odds, it’s happening. The Gallagher brothers are putting aside their differences and reuniting Oasis. The announcement has sent shockwaves through the music world. Will it be a triumphant return to their former glory? Or will the old tensions resurface? Either way, it’s going to be one hell of a ride.

The Oasis reunion in 2025 isn’t just a comeback; it’s a resurrection. It’s the return of the band that defined the ’90s, that made arrogance an art form, and that gave us some of the greatest rock anthems of all time. The world is ready for more Oasis—let’s just hope Liam and Noel are ready for each other.

Oasis gave us a soundtrack to the ’90s and beyond. Here are some of their most iconic tracks that still resonate today:
