The news had gained momentum last week following some videos posted on the group's social media accounts in which a new tour was hinted at. In one of them, a poster with the name of the painter Joan Miró can be identified, while an acoustic version of Don’t look back in anger plays. The band's last tour, Oasis Live 2025, grossed nearly 383 million euros with a total of 41 concerts around the world. But the Gallagher brothers did not perform in Europe, beyond the United Kingdom and Ireland, in a reconciliation tour that has also left Oasis: don't look back in anger, a documentary premiered at the Venice Film Festival and currently in theaters. Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, and with a screenplay by Steven Knight, creator of the series Peaky Blinders, the documentary celebrates the fraternal peace that led to the tour.

The British band returns to Barcelona eighteen years after their last concert in Spain. It was in 2009, when the group was presenting the album Dig out your soul, on a tour that included a performance at the Olympic Pavilion of Badalona and another at the Palau d'Esports. The Gallagher brothers also performed on July 16 of that same year as headliners of the Benicàssim International Festival, in the last Oasis concert in Spain and one of the final performances before their definitive separation.

The straw that broke the camel's back

In August 2009, Oasis arrived in France to perform at the Rock en Seine Festival in Saint-Cloud, near Paris. However, the concert never took place. The Gallagher brothers had fought to the point where Liam had grabbed a guitar as if it were "an axe," threatening his brother. That fight was "the straw that broke the camel's back," in the words of Noel Gallagher himself in the Sky Arts documentary, of a relationship that had been forged through arguments since 1994, the year of the band's debut album, Definitely Maybe. "It is with sadness that I announce that tonight I am leaving Oasis. People will write and say what they want, but I cannot continue working with Liam for one more day," said Noel Gallagher in the statement. The author of Wonderwall and Live forever also explained that he felt that people "had stopped listening to the new records" and that "they were only filling stadiums because of the hits they had made in the nineties."

After years of recriminations, Liam and Noel Gallagher made peace for good two years ago in one of the most anticipated returns in the music industry. According to Liam himself, it was the band's singer who took the first step by calling his brother, a rapprochement that trended on social media after thousands of fans recovered a post by Liam Gallagher on X in which he said: "If Manchester City wins the Champions League, I will call my brother and reunite the band." Another reason for the reconciliation, pointed out by the newspaper Manchester Evening News, was Peggy Gallagher, the musicians' mother, who told them: "I will not die without seeing you together one more time."
