It’s been 15 years since this beloved band last took the stage together — and now, they’re closer than ever to reuniting.

Though Oasis had split in 2009, they recently announced they’ve put their feud aside and will perform together on Friday, July 4.

“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” the band wrote in their announcement.

Kicking off their tour in the Welsh capital, the Gallagher brothers are slated to perform across the UK throughout the summer.

As preparations for the show got underway, fans lingered near the venue hoping for a sneak peek of the band rehearsing their set.

Videos from the soundcheck quickly went viral across social media, including clips of the band performing their hit track “Cigarettes and Alcohol.”

One fan posted on X, “Epic! Cannot wait for Friday!!” while another added, “I know this is just a soundcheck, but the bumps are goosing.”

Another user, disappointed at missing out on tickets, wrote, “I’ve been chilled about not getting tickets but that is cool as f–k. Shivers.”

However, some fans were skeptical the band was actually performing live since Noel’s voice was missing from the recordings.

“I believe this audio is from the Definitely Maybe tour rehearsals last year,” one person suggested, while another added, “This is a pre recording to test sound levels i would assume. Not sure the band are actually there.”

Amid the speculation, Liam Gallagher took to X on Monday, June 30 to set the record straight — and it was a bit of a bummer.

When asked if he and Noel Gallagher were performing live, Liam replied, “I’ve been in my pool all day doing under water farts, so it’s defo a recording from rehearsals unless there’s 2 of me, which I’m absolutely 1 million per cent here for.”

Regardless, excitement remains high for the reunion. Formed in 1991, Oasis had quite a contentious history together.

Despite this, the band toured and released new music until their breaking point on August 28, 2009. According to Noel, the brothers had a fistfight before their world tour and started traveling separately to shows.

“[Liam] goes out the dressing room, for whatever reason, he went to his own dressing room, and he came back with a guitar, and he started wielding it like an axe, and I’m not f— kidding,” Noel said in 2015 to Far Out Magazine.

“I’m making light of it because it’s kind of what I do, but it was a real unnecessary violent act. He nearly took my face off with it.” Following the fight, Noel decided it was time to walk away from the band and his brother.

It seems time has healed old wounds, as the brothers have put the past behind them — giving fans 24 chances to see Oasis live again, hopefully without any flying guitars.
