Liam Gallagher dedicated the Oasis  track Half The World Away to his   estranged brother Noel during his  headline set at the Reading Festival   on Sunday evening - after burying the  hatchet during a late night phone call.   Earlier in the day, the Mancunian rocker  fuelled speculation he might reunite   with Noel for a long-awaited Oasis comeback,  despite their well documented estrangement.   Fans have urged the pair to regroup  since their explosive split in 2009   which was sparked by a backstage brawl  at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.  During his headline slot at Reading on Sunday  night, Liam, 51, performed a number of Oasis   hits from their debut album Definitely  Maybe to celebrate its 30th anniversary.  Introducing Half The World Away - a 1994 B-side  that also featured as the theme tune to sitcom   The Royle Family - he told revellers: 'I wanna  dedicate this song to Noel f**king Gallagher.'  Liam continued to keep fans guessing by dedicating  his rendition of Cigarettes & Alcohol at the   Reading Festival to people who hate Oasis. The track, written by his older brother,   was the final single on their  1994 debut album Definitely Maybe.  As he closed the set, Liam suggested an  announcement could be made on Tuesday at   8:00am. A short clip of a sign in the style  of Oasis logo was projected on a large screen   above the stage and subsequently shared to Oasis,  Noel and Liam's official Instagram and X accounts.  The white rectangular box which a black block in  the centre had the date "27.08.24'' written in the   middle where the band's name is usually seen.  It then flickered and changed to read "8am''.  A source told The Sun: 'Noel and Liam are  never going to be the best of friends but   they want to bring Oasis back for the fans. 'They aren’t getting any younger and the demand   is huge. They decided it was now or never.  Noel dug his heels in for a long time but   has finally caved and agreed to return. 'He spoke to Liam on the phone and they   are on the same page. They know this  reunion will go down in music history.'   Professor Jonathan Shalit OBE, chairman  of talent agency InterTalent, told The   Sun they could make more than £400million  from the tour and any residual deals.   He said: 'With tickets, sponsorship, merchandise  and filming, I would predict an income for Noel   and Liam of over £50million each. This is a  tour that could easily gross over £400million.'   Oasis has been promised a payday of £50  million to reform and embark on a global tour,   with Liam appearing to confirm the reunion. The eye-watering sum is said to have convinced   warring brothers Noel, 57, and Liam  to bury the hatchet 15 years after   they last appeared on stage together. Their fractious relationship came to   a head in 2009, after a backstage fight  in Paris led to Noel leaving the band.  In recent years, Liam has been keen to  make amends with his brother and reform   the iconic Britpop band, but his older  brother poured cold water on the idea.  But after Noel's £20m divorce from ex-wife Sara  MacDonald last year, the elder Gallagher is said   to have been persuaded of the financial  merits of getting the band together for   dates at Glastonbury and Wembley Stadium. It is expected to be the most popular tour   in British concert history, with industry  insiders saying the deal negotiated between   the brothers will net them £50 million.  It comes as Liam sent Oasis fans into frenzy,   as he appeared to confirm the Don't Look Back In  Anger singers would next year tour the country.  Asked on X, formerly Twitter, about the planned  Oasis shows, Liam wrote: 'See you down the front'.  He later told his 3.6m followers on the  platform: 'I never did like that word FORMER'.  Despite the thawing in their relations, the  younger Gallagher couldn't resist a dig at   his brother. When asked what he would say to Noel  when they return to the stage, he said: 'Keep up'.  Fans have speculated Liam could confirm  the reunion whilst on stage for his solo   headline set at Reading Festival on Sunday night. An account for the Oasis Podcast posted on X:   'Liam I’m off to see you in Reading can you  dedicate Columbia to the oasis podcast it’s   my favourite song'whilst another wrote:  'waiting for liam to bring noel out at   reading and announce a oasis reunion.' Liam has been touring the UK this summer   on his Definitely Maybe tour to celebrate  the 30 years since its release in 1994.  Noel has been notably absent from the  concerts, but during a show in Cardiff   Liam made a point of dedicating Half  The World Away to his 'little brother',   saying he is 'still playing hard to get'. Liam also played a host of Oasis hits   during his headline performance at Reading's  sister site Leeds Festival on Friday night  The tweets came after reports that the  warring brothers have finally put aside   their differences with 2025 gigs lined up  at Glastonbury, Heaton Park in Manchester,   and a 10-day run at Wembley Stadium. The tour is expected to take in dates in   the UK at the Glastonbury festival and stadiums  including Wembley, Twickenham and the Tottenham   Hotspur stadium, as well as a run of dates at  Liam and Noel Gallagher's beloved Etihad Stadium,   home to Manchester City football club. It is understood that two huge promoters - SJM   Concerts and Live Nation - are in the  running to land the tour, which would   include dates across Europe and in America. As the Mail on Sunday revealed, Glastonbury   have informed the band that a headline  slot at next summer's festival has been   'left open' for Oasis in the increasingly  likely event the band confirm a reunion.  A music industry source said that a possible  ten nights at Wembley Stadium next summer,   surpassing the eight-gig record recently  set by Taylor Swift, would be a 'tough ask'   at this stage of the year with bookings at the  iconic London venue already at a near maximum.  'There will be a run of dates at  Wembley if the Oasis tour goes ahead,   but it's a bit late to confirm a run of 10  dates now,' said a music industry source.  'Instead the tour is likely to take in other big  stadiums in London, and in Manchester. Heaton Park   is another possibility up there, as is a repeat of  Liam Gallagher's more recent gigs at Knebworth.'  10 gigs at Wembley in 2025 would break Taylor  Swift's recent record at the venue.   The Cruel Summer songstress, 34, played eight  shows at the north London venue to delighted   crowds in June and August - making her the first  solo artist to play the stadium that many times.  She told the screaming audience: 'You  have made me the first solo artist to   play Wembley eight times on a single tour!' On Thursday, a video was released to mark the   30th anniversary of Definitely  Maybe, Oasis's debut album.  In the video, Noel - who previously said 'I  liked my Mum until she gave birth to Liam' - was   unusually complimentary about his little brother. He said: 'When I would sing a song, it would   sound good. When he sung it, it sounded great.' Noel added: 'I can't sing Cigarettes & Alcohol,   Rock'n'Roll Star and all that. I  don't have the same attitude as him.'  'My voice is half a Guinness on a  Tuesday — it's all right. Liam's is   ten shots of tequila on a Friday.' Fans were also surprised to hear   Noel pay Liam a string of compliments. Reflecting on Liam's performance on a number   of their hits, Noel said: 'It's the delivery  or the tone of his voice and the attitude.  'I don't have the same attitude as him.' Next Wednesday will mark 15 years since   Noel sensationally quit Oasis 'with great  relief' following a backstage bust-up in   Paris saying: 'I simply could not go  on working with Liam a day longer.'   The Paris bust up included a barrage of insults  being traded and a guitar being 'wielded like an   axe', to end a 15-year career which saw its fair  share of Rock and roll antics from both siblings.   Last year, Noel joked in an interview on Radio X  that he would 'properly consider' getting Oasis   back together if he was given £8 million. Asked whether it annoys him when people   ask about a reunion, he said: 'It used  to really annoy me when I first started   and now it's just, it's just whatever... 'I'm fascinated with people asking the same   question and getting the same answer,  but the thing that is ongoing and will   never get old is how the music just keeps  appealing to another generation of fans.'  Formed in the 1990s, the Britpop group rose to  fame with hits like Wonderwall, Don't Look Back   In Anger and Stop Crying Your Heart Out. They went on to become arguably one of   the biggest bands in British music  history before their break-up in 2009.  The brothers went on to have successful  solo careers, with Noel fronting the   group Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. Fans said of the possible reunion on social media:   'Felt it's always been on the cards since Noel's  divorce. I haven't been Glastonbury for two years   (thanks Rowan) so go make a return when Oasis  play it could be up there with Macca for me.  Others said: 'Oasis reunion will be  up there with the birth of my child.',  'I am very sceptical about the Oasis reunion  rumours but something seems different this   time. To see them live together in my  lifetime would be amazing. Please...',  'Oasis Reunion announcement?  @liamgallagher Come on',  'Oasis reunion is a done deal I'm hearing yus', 'oasis reunion making a particular kind   of white dude (me) make incredibly  irresponsible financial decisions.',  'woooooooooow oasis reunion.', 'OASIS REUNION FOR REAL?'
