Gallagher’s offensive post came shortly ahead of Oasis’ long-awaited reunion tour, which will begin in Wales tomorrow. The English rock band announced the tour last September, first revealing dates for the U.K. before announcing dates in the U.S., Canada and Mexico soon after. The band recently revealed they would be releasing an accompanying film tied to the concerts as well, directed by Steven Knight.
The Gallagher brothers’ relationship has been notoriously fraught in the past, with the group officially breaking up 15 years ago, making their reunion tour one of the most anticipated concert tours of 2025.
