Oasis fans who missed out on tickets for the band’s highly anticipated 2025 reunion tour may still have a chance to experience the shows.
According to reports, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher are in talks to record a live album of their upcoming sell-out gigs.
The potential recording would capture the historic moment when the Gallagher’s perform together for the first time in 16 years and allow fans to hear the evolved sound of Oasis after their long hiatus.
A source close to the band told The Sun: “The Oasis reunion is an historic moment and these concerts will be talked about for decades to come.
“A live album of the Oasis reunion could be as iconic as The Who’s Live At Leeds in 1970 or Queen’s Live At Wembley ’86.”
Recordings from either Heaton Park or Wembley Stadium are being considered, given their significance to the band’s history.

“It would capture the rock ‘n’ roll alchemy that happens when Noel and Liam are on stage together,” the insider added.
Despite the excitement, the source noted that the band’s current focus remains on the upcoming shows themselves.
“The concerts are a long way off and Oasis are focused on those shows at the moment. But Noel and Liam would be mad not to record their reunion in a live album.”
Oasis are no strangers to live albums, having released two successful recordings during their heyday.
Their first, Familiar To Millions, was released in November 2000 and sold over a million copies and followed their debut performance at Wembley Stadium.
The band’s second live album, Knebworth 1996, was released in September 2021, which captured two iconic shows at the Hertfordshire venue and reached No4 in the UK albums chart.
These previous successes suggest that a new live album from the reunion tour could be highly anticipated by fans and potentially commercially successful.
In addition to the live album, reports suggest Oasis may be the subject of a multi-million-pound Beatles-style documentary about their reunion tour.

Despite the band stating their shows will “not be televised”, streaming giants are reportedly vying for the rights to produce the film.
Apple TV+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video are said to be in competition for the project.
The documentary is expected to follow Noel and Liam in the lead-up to their 2025 gigs, potentially mirroring the style of Disney+’s “The Beatles: Get Back”.
An insider told The Sun: “This is set to be the film of the decade, with Apple TV+ proposing huge money to bag the rights to this documentary.”
