Oasis break their silence over Glastonbury 2025 headliner rumours

Oasis have today broken their silence over rumours they will be playing at Glastonbury next summer to confirm they will not be playing at the festival.

Speculation was rife Liam and Noel Gallagher would be returning to Worthy Farm in 2025 ahead of their comeback tour. 

But in a statement posted on the band’s X account just after lunchtime today, they ruled out appearing at Glastonbury or any other festival. 

Oasis said the only way to see the band in 2025 was by attending one of their shows during their world tour. 

The statement read: ‘Despite media speculation, Oasis will not be playing Glastonbury 2025 or any other festivals next year.

‘The only way to see the band perform will be on their Oasis Live ’25 World Tour.’ 

Oasis last performed as a headliner at Glastonbury in 2004 in a gig that Liam later admitted he ‘hated’.

The Rock n Roll Star singer, 51, told BBC 6 Music’s Matt Everitt in 2019: ‘I didn’t enjoy that because that was when I’d first started using in-ears [monitors to hear the music] and it spun me out for 15 years… Our kid wanted to go Slash and turn everything up. 

‘So, I put them in for the sake of the band and my voice and all that, but I couldn’t get my head round it.’ 

Liam moaned that ‘those in-ear things’ ruined the interaction with fans. 

‘You need the interaction,’ he said, ‘you need the vibe, so yeah it was horrible, I didn’t like it. 

‘I enjoyed myself after it because you soon put it to bed, you get off your head and all that and I enjoyed the vibe. But the gig, nah, wasn’t for me.’
