My two cents on the line-up.
While I'd love Bonehead, Gem was in the band longer, and has pedigree in both Beady Eye and High Flying Birds so I can't imagine he won't be there, especially given he regularly switches to lead too.
Similarly, while he joined Oasis much later, Chris Sharrock was in BE and HFB.
The key point being that both Gem and Chris have maintained a working relationship with both brothers over the past fifteen years.
Mike Rowe is bound to be there on keys, given he was an Oasis stalwart and remains part of HFB.
Bass is the only tricky one. There's no chance of Guigsy, and Noel/Andy don't seem like best buddies. My money would be on Jay Mehler. Played bass for latter-day Beady Eye, and guitar for Liam since 2017. Although Jeff Wootton has also done bass duties for both brothers in the past, so could be another (albeit less likely) option.
So,
OFFICIAL BAND: Lead Vocals - Liam Gallagher Lead/Backing Vocals, Lead/Rhythm Guitar - Noel Gallagher Rhythm/Lead Guitar - Gem Archer Drums - Chris Sharrock
TOURING/LIVE MEMBERS: Bass Guitar - Jay Mehler / Jeff Wootton Keyboards - Mike Rowe
That's essentially picking up where they left off, but with a new bassist that has form with Liam over the last ten years.

Hope it’s not Noel’s band. They’re so wet. And surely if anyone’s backing band it should be Liam’s seeing as they’re used to playing the songs! Hoping for old members mostly though Insane take, Liam's band are so flat and robotic in playing and have no clue how to use equipment for the authentic sound.

Surely absolutely nobody here thought they would hold a live press conference? 🤣🤣🤣 Stone Roses did. Hardly a ridiculous suggestion. At 8am?

Apparently Noel isn't in the UK. So maybe something prerecorded tomorrow. Or just an announcement with no photo/video together. Didn't Liam have a photoshoot recently...? Could have been in secret with Noel... It was for Clarks

They always knew this was possible, plus I kind of imagine both Liam and Noel will do their own thing in between oasis stints going forwards. Assuming this isn't just a thing for 2025/2026, of course Well first things first, let's get them to announce it and actual not f*ck each other off before the concerts actually happen!

If this is true, it will be their first ever stadium tour on North America!! Cannot wait for the news and love how everything everywhere talks about the "reunion"

Hoping for old members mostly though Insane take, Liam's band are so flat and robotic in playing and have no clue how to use equipment for the authentic sound. The drummer and guitarist from Liam's band just have to have gone to music college, I'd bet anything on it. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I actually teach guitar, but I can clearly see when people have learned their craft in shitty rehearsal rooms and gigs in a proper band with mates from those who got most of their early experience in college projects. It's not really to do with the abililty, it's the attack.

Just a speculation based on the sun rumours... If this is true (and that's a big if) I have no problem at all with it. - we've got three experienced Oasis members and excellent musicians - Gem's guitar is essential to Oasis sound - Russ is a great bass player and awesome at backing vocals - If the female voices are coming we can have amazing renditions of Cast No Shadow, She's Electric, Champagne Supernova and who knows, maybe even All Around The World I know Bonehead will be missed but IMO we can do without him

Would be surprised if this was real but let's see Also, surely there's no way Oasis would be playing those stadiums in USA? I know they used to get a decent crowd in a few cities but still, I don't think their stardom has grown any bigger in USA since they split. They're very much that "one hit wonder" band there to most people outside of hard-core fans. The rose bowl stadium is a bigger capacity than Wembley haha. No chance Oasis are playing there.

The reunion nostalgia would sellout atleast 5 major city stadiums in America especially if they were touring morning glory .. they don’t just book tours they do their research

So much has changed since then; I was 17 in August 2009. I feel like I fall into some alternate universe, but if that's the case, I want to stay here 😅.
I just hope Noel doesn't do it only for money, and that he and Liam are really on good terms now

You would think from a promotion perspective and for most buzz and traction it would be best to have them together in a picture or video It would be a real missed opportunity and only create more speculation that they aren't on great terms still.

Nostalgia or not, they're not selling 100,000 tickets for a single gig in USA. They're simply not anywhere near that level there.

Gem's guitar is essential to Oasis sound I know Bonehead will be missed but IMO we can do without him Major disagree. Bonehead is the beef of the original oasis sound… One of the ways they got DM sound like their live sets was turning up his guitar in the mix. Them barre chords are monstrous.

For me Bonehead is fundamental and rightfully deserves its place within an Oasis celebratory tour on Morning Glory.

The line up in my opinion should be Noel Liam Gem Bonehead Andy if he's up for it Chris

NGHFB + Bonehead is what I'd like. Having three guitars will do no harm. Sharrock is the best drummer they ever got, Gem was in Oasis and Russ is more than solid.
