Oasis could be set for a reunion for Glastonbury, if Liam and Noel Gallagher can mend their rift

AS famous for their off-stage antics as they are for their music, one of the biggest bands of the 1990s could be set to reform for the Glastonbury festival.

NOTORIOUSLY cranky brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher could be set to bury the hatchet on their long-running feud, for the sake of reuniting iconic 90s band Oasis.

That’s the hot rumour doing the rounds in Britain, with speculation the group will reform to headline next year’s Glastonbury festival.

Troubled relations ... Oasis split for good in 2007 when Liam and Noel Gallagher had a bust-up backstage at a festival.

The event’s organiser Michael Eavis dropped the strongest hint yet overnight, telling the Mirror that he’s in regular contact with the brothers about the idea.

“Wouldn’t it be marvellous for them to relaunch at Glastonbury, now Liam has split from Beady Eye?” Eavis cryptically told the paper.

Oasis was plagued by difficulties during its heyday in the 1990s, including the departure of original members guitarist Paul Arthurs and bass guitarist Paul McGuigan towards the end of the decade.

Not in agreement ... Noel and Liam Gallagher have had differing views on reforming Oasis — until recently.

The famous brothers had a volatile relationship that often led to very public bust-ups and wars of words.

Noel quit the band for the first time in 1994 and again for good in 2007 following a backstage argument with Liam, which ended in a smashed guitar and the end of Oasis.

BROTHER FEUD: Noel Gallagher apologies to brother Liam over Oasis remarks

The remaining members went on to form a new group with Liam, called Beady Eye. They announced their split in October.

One night only? ... the reunion of Oasis could be short-lived, if Noel’s comments are anything to go by. He has expressed interest in the idea, but only for Glastonbury.

While Liam has often said he’d be keen to reunite, Noel has dismissed the idea — until recently.

In a recent fan Q & A on Facebook, he admitted he was interested in performing at Glastonbury, emphatically stating: “Yes, if I was asked, yes. If you are listening Michael Eavis, I’ll do it.”

RAGING SUCCESS: The most successful family bands ever

It’s worth pointing out that Oasis reunion rumours have popped up every year or two, but usually without fuelling by the brothers — particularly Noel.

Glastonbury will take place from June 24 to 28 next year near Pilton in England.
