Definitely starting to think that this is a farewell tour in all but name. Time will tell, I guess Yeh im thinking the same, gutted i didnt het tickets for the 28th Sept show now instead of the 27th. Would be going to the first and last show then I still think about this a lot but someone here made a good point that I hadn't thought about - surely if it was a farewell tour they would've made it explicitly clear to drive up hype even more? I'm none the wiser obviously but it's food for thought |

I don’t think this is the end. If it was, wouldn’t it have been advertised as the final tour to get even more engagement? Yeh, if it was a final tour they might have said something like 'you have one last chance'! I think as it stands everything points to it being a final tour. The lack of any interviews, any sight of Noel, any sign that Oasis actually exists as a band right now. I think essentially Oasis will exist for the time they are on stage, other than that, it's not really a functioning entity. Occam's razor, usually the simplest and most likely explanation for something is the correct one. Noel for years appeared fairly disgusted by the idea of being in Oasis again - there's that interview where he talked about how terrible it was at the end and we only have one life, why waste it being unhappy, referring to Oasis making him unhappy. He did say though many times he would do it if he got offered an unearthly amount of money. He just lost half his wealth in a divorce. Come on, it's too big a coincidence to try and convince ourselves it's about anything other than money. Especially as Noel seems unable to bring himself to talk about it. I have a strong feeling this probably isn't what he really wants to be doing, and like any of us would, feels a bit disappointed after probably promising himself for years he wouldn't do this. People hoping for joint interviews full of banter like it's 1996, or even 2002, I think are setting themselves up for a big disappointment. |

All we know is that we don't know. Noel's silence, and the "you have one last chance" ultimatum, are not indicative of anything other than smart marketing on their part. If we're a month away from Cardiff and there's still complete radio silence... well then we can start thinking otherwise. But for now Oasis are back.

The silence is definitely for a reason. I’m on the other side of the spectrum…. I think we are in for a right surprise when it comes to band members and an 8th album.
Liam is excited about this, so whereas everyone keeps examining it from Noel’s perspective how about from Liam? Liam wanted Oasis back from day one, and he worked his ass off to get to this point. Fair play to the lad. Do you really think Liam would be this engaged and excited about a reunion if it wasn’t really a reunion?

I'd agree with all of that except to say there are also some very good family reasons for it to happen as well as the money. From what we know so far which ain't much there is little to suggest it's in anyway a musical decision. Would be great to see them having a good time when it comes around though |

Even if they were spotted making out in public, people would call it fake and that they'd only do it for the money. If they announce everything at once, there is nothing left to keep the flame going until the start of the tour

Fair play to the lad. Do you really think Liam would be this engaged and excited about a reunion if it wasn’t really a reunion? Noel shutting down his studio seems a curious thing to do if he's going to be making an album. As soon as he's seen near any other studio now that would give the game away. The most likely scenario is he's simply not making music now until this is over. Which is a shame. There's no need to release an album. Albums barely make money anyway, especially compared to what this tour is making. Almost no-one has bought tickets wanting to hear new music. They know that. All an album does is introduce risk that if it goes down badly, it kills the hype on the whole thing. We may get a single or something if Noel has something cracking stashed away. They could get away with one new song in the set. But I really think anything beyond that is wishful thinking. Would love to be wrong though! |

Two new ones with a retrospective. That's what I'm going for

My personal take is that Liam is all in but Noel is taking a wait-and-see approach. Then again, they’ve both locked in likely £100M already based on recent ticket sales (and stand to make a lot more). The Oasis brand is profitable and hot, so I could see them sticking with it as long as it goes.
New album in the near term seems unlikely given WTSMG30 album promo and a ‘greatest hits’ tour around the world.
…which sucks, cause I was personally more interested in new music over live gigs.
