Oasis’ strict contract revealed amid fears of a fallout between warring brothers

Details of the UK rock band’s tour contract have been revealed amid fears feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher will clash and pull the pin.

Oasis band members and brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher will not get a paid until their tour starts, according to their stringent contract.

The feuding pair are to get their joint $11.8 million fee for each gig only after they’ve officially hit the stage, insiders divulged to The Sun.

A row between the Gallagher brothers would have a massive knock-on effect if it leads to the UK band cancelling gigs, industry experts warned.

Promoters have drawn up contracts stating Noel and Liam will not get paid until their reunion tour kicks off — in case the notoriously volatile pair fall out beforehand.

Music insiders said a whole host of ­people behind the scenes are relying on them to maintain good relations.

“There were no upfront earnings because, ultimately, if they fall out, it would leave everyone in limbo,” a source told The Sun.

“It’s a common arrangement but because of Noel and Liam’s fiery relationship it seems even more necessary.

“They have to perform to be paid.

“It’s simple and hopefully an effective way to make sure they can tolerate each other for the length of the shows.”

A furious bust-up between the twosome moments before a gig in Paris in 2009 led to the band’s infamous break-up.

Their feud then simmered until this year, when they announced plans for a highly lucrative reunion tour in 2025, with tickets selling out in minutes.

Noel, 57, and Liam, 52, are expected to pocket almost $5.9 million apiece for each of the 33 stadium gigs but will only get the money after they come off stage.

Head of Partnerships at Live Music Industry Venues and Entertainment head of partnerships Gaby Cartwright said: “It would be stipulated that no money will be put into the hands of the artists until we know they are actually going to turn up on stage, because they fall out all the time.

“There are so many people’s money at stake.

“The artists’ agents, the promoters, the crew, the band, the PRs, the label, the management.

“It is all in everyone’s best interest that this tour goes ahead.”

The band, which helped create the Britpop era of the 1990s with hit songs ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Don't Look Back In Anger’ and ‘Champagne Supernova’, triggered unprecedented demand for tickets. Picture: Jose Jordan/AFP

It kicks off in Cardiff, Wales on July 4, and includes dates at Wembley, Dublin, Edinburgh, North America and Australia.

A second source insisted the brothers “are focused on putting on the best show for their fans”.

They added: “People are still pinching themselves this is happening.

“It will be history making and their teams can’t wait for the shows to start.”
