There are a few things you can count on from former and once-again Oasis singer Liam Gallagher: a sneering deliver and jokes. So many jokes. Just 120 days until the July 4 kick-off of one of the most anticipated rock reunions in ages, Gallagher hopped on X on Wednesday (March 5) to finally reveal who will join him and Oasis co-founder guitarist/songwriter/lyricist and occasional singer Noel Gallagher on this year’s get-back swing.
“Here we have it Peppa pig on drums Bert n Ernie on lead guitar n bass finger bobs on keyboard,” Gallagher tweeted about the child-friendly backing band — including beloved 1970s U.K. children’s program Fingerbobs in the mix — that he joked would be backing the brothers up. He added, “obv me n Rkid [his nickname for Noel] hope that clears everything up can’t wait to see you all who’s says RnR is dead.”
The not-news announcement elicited some equally jokey responses from fans, with one asking, “Can we get Kermit?,” about B&E’s Sesame Street pal. Nope. “Drug dealer,” Liam snapped back. The news was better for the frog’s longtime lover, Miss Piggy, who Gallagher said would be serving as “tour manager,” but not so for SpongeBob Squarepants, who he noted is “back on drugs unreliable.”
And finally, to round out the Muppets theme, a fan said it “makes more sense to have animal on drums,” to which Gallagher quipped, “only 1 animal in this band and it’s RKID he’s a TIGER.”
To date, Oasis have lined up more than 40 dates for their Live ’25 outing, which will hit stadiums in the U.K., North America, Asia, Australia and South America from July through November. The only confirmed participants are the Gallaghers — who have not shared a stage since August 2009. So far, there is no word if anyone on their long list of former bandmates — guitarists Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Gem Archer and Andy Bell, bassist Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan and drummers Alan White, Tony McCarroll and Zak Starkey — will join them on the tour.
