Oasis have kept their fans on their toes ahead of the band’s reunion, and it seems we might have some new information about the lineup. According to a description on Oasis’ Spotify profile, there are hints about who will join Liam and Noel Gallagher on their highly anticipated tour. The last paragraph of the band’s profile mentions, “Along with the Gallagher brothers, Oasis’ lineup for the tour included Arthurs, a mainstay of Liam’s backing band, and (Gem) Archer, who joined the High Flying Birds after Beady Eye’s breakup.”
Oasis reunion potential lineup
This potential lineup has fueled speculation among fans, and it’s exciting to see Gem Archer’s name being mentioned alongside the Gallagher brothers. Archer, who played guitar for Oasis from 1999 until their split in 2009, became a key part of Liam’s Beady Eye project and later joined Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds after Beady Eye disbanded. His involvement in the reunion would bring some continuity to Oasis’ classic sound.
Another name thrown into the mix is Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, a founding member of Oasis who played rhythm guitar on the band’s first three albums. Bonehead has been collaborating with Liam Gallagher in recent years, joining him on tour and performing Oasis hits to huge audiences. While Bonehead’s involvement hasn’t been officially confirmed, he’s widely expected to be part of the tour. British tabloid The Sun recently featured a front-page story about his role in the reunion.
The reference to “a mainstay of Liam’s backing band” adds further intrigue. This phrase is broad, but fans have speculated that it could mean some familiar faces from Liam’s solo projects. Dan McDougall, who has been playing drums for Liam’s solo shows, and Christian Madden, his keyboardist, are both likely candidates. Both musicians have played key roles in Liam’s successful solo career, and their experience with him could be invaluable as Oasis prepares for its comeback.
Liam and Noel Gallagher, who formed Oasis in the early ‘90s, famously split in 2009 due to ongoing tensions. Their breakup ended one of the most iconic rock bands ever. However, this August, the brothers confirmed they had reconciled, leading to the announcement of a long-awaited reunion tour. Fans are still waiting for details about new music, though there has been no official confirmation about an upcoming album.
The Gallagher brothers have also announced a string of tour dates across the UK, Ireland, Australia, the US, and Mexico. However, they were quick to clarify that these would be their only shows in Europe and that they have no plans to make any festival appearances next year. The tour promises to be a monumental event, with tickets expected to sell out quickly in every city.
The excitement surrounding this reunion is palpable, and the potential lineup featuring Gem Archer, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, and members of Liam’s solo band makes it even more thrilling. With the Gallagher brothers back on good terms and ready to perform together again, fans are counting down the days until Oasis takes the stage.
