Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are pictured together for the FIRST TIME since announcing their reunion tour as they recreate their 90s heyday in new Adidas campaign

For the initial time since news of their reunion tour emerged last year, Liam and Noel Gallagher, the siblings from Oasis, have been photographed together.

Instead of intensely preparing for their July 4 debut performance by rehearsing, the brothers have instead revived the style that defined the Britpop era, as part of a fresh marketing campaign for sports brand Adidas.

On Thursday, a fresh photo was shared by Adidas on their social media platforms, featuring the two musicians clad in uniquely tailored items emblazoned with their group’s moniker. The accompanying caption read: “The tri-striped band.

In a Channel 4 promotional video, you can catch the iconic 1994 Oasis song Live Forever playing, along with scenes evoking their initial concerts. The enthusiastic fans are sporting brand-new Adidas apparel adorned with the band’s well-known insignia.

A tambourine strikes against ice, as Liam comments: ‘Sometimes you find yourself completely focused, right?’

You remain motionless amidst the turmoil swirling about, choosing not to be swept up by the frenzy. Instead, you find solace in quiet contemplation, savoring a sense of peace that feels unparalleled in the world. Completely at rest.

As a devoted fan, I find myself watching as Liam and Noel stride towards the stage for an unforgettable performance. The climactic scene of this advertisement captures them in harmony once more, posed side by side, symbolizing their reunion.

Before the current campaign, the only pictures available of Liam and Noel were from a promotional photoshoot marking the Oasis tour, which caused an excited reaction among devoted fans of the duo.

It’s not unexpected to some, since it was previously reported by the Mail that even though Liam, aged 52, and Noel, aged 57, publicly ended their 15-year feud last year, they haven’t spent any time together.

Back in April, it had been announced that Liam and Noel secured a significant contract worth millions with Adidas. Previously, they had each introduced their own lines with the company.

The Oasis Live 25 tour begins on July 4th at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, followed by packed shows at Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium.

In this version, I’ve tried to make the text more conversational while maintaining clarity and preserving the original meaning.

The duo will subsequently set off on a worldwide journey, performing in countries like Japan, Argentina, the U.S., and Brazil.

Fans of Oasis had long harbored hope that they might one day witness the reunion of the band’s two brothers, as they hadn’t shared the same space since an explosive altercation backstage in Paris in 2009 caused a rift between them.

Noel said at the time: ‘I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.’

In August last year, Liam and Noel made up again, and they declared that Oasis would be performing at a series of stadium concerts in 2025. This reunion is projected to earn them approximately £100 million.

Or:

Last August saw Liam and Noel putting their differences aside, with the announcement that Oasis would perform at several stadium shows in 2025. The estimated payday for these concerts amounts to a staggering £100m.

After his costly divorce settlement with ex-wife Sara MacDonald worth £20m in 2023, Noel’s bank account will greatly benefit from this upcoming financial enhancement.

In their tour announcement, Oasis declared: “The conflict has ended. The planets have aligned perfectly. The long-awaited moment has arrived. Don’t miss it! This event won’t be broadcast on TV.

However, upon ticket sales release, the tour faced criticism due to implementing ‘dynamic pricing’, as tickets priced at over £100 were made available in August.

Or:

When tickets became available for purchase, the tour attracted criticism because they applied ‘dynamic pricing’, with tickets costing hundreds of pounds back in August.

Fans were furious after waiting up to 15 hours to get to the front of online queues.

Critics found Ticketmaster’s pricing strategy to be shocking, following an increase in ticket prices for initial dates from £148 to a staggering £355.

Last month, there were rumors of a reconciliatory meeting between them regarding the tour. However, Liam firmly dismissed these reports as false, labeling them as “fake news” on his social media account.

Concerns have also been raised about the conduct of Oasis fans during the upcoming concerts, as the supporters have allegedly been labeled as ‘overweight, intoxicated, and disorderly’ by local officials in private safety discussions.

Reports suggest that Edinburgh council officials stated that the majority of attendees at the Murrayfield concerts in August are expected to be middle-aged men, who tend to require a larger amount of space.

Based on The Sun’s report, leaked documents suggest that some councils are concerned that performers may withdraw from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe because of potential conflicts arising from boisterous audiences attending an Oasis concert in close proximity.

According to reports, the confidential meetings seem to be expressing a worry: ‘We’re anxious about the security of the Fringe and its artists. Several artists are contemplating skipping the event that weekend.’

It’s important to be mindful about crowd size, as they can become boisterous and the music from the band may contribute to the noise level. Also, keep in mind that middle-aged individuals tend to require more space. Take these factors into account when determining the maximum capacity.

As per the publication, one die-hard Oasis fan blasted the ‘sneering’ comments.

According to David Walker, aged 44, from the Oasis Collectors Group, referring to fans as being drunk, middle-aged, and overweight is a disrespectful, snide generalization – it’s an unfair perspective.

As a devoted supporter, I believe that folks yearn for enjoyable experiences. If the tales about councilors’ boisterous parties serve as any indication, it might be wiser for them to keep their thoughts and views under wraps.

Over the years, the fanbase has undergone significant shifts. For one, we now have a fresh wave of younger enthusiasts. Additionally, many parents are introducing their children to Oasis for the very first time.
