Noel and Liam Gallagher have made the Sunday Times Rich List for the first time ever, thanks to the massive success of their Oasis reunion tour. The siblings now boast an estimated joint wealth of £375 million, largely driven by the 41 shows they performed between July and November. Reports suggest each brother took home at least £50 million from the tour.
Ranking Among Music's Elite
The Gallaghers are placed 11th among musicians on the list, joining iconic figures such as Sir Elton John, Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Sir Brian May. Topping the musicians' category is Sir Paul McCartney, with an estimated fortune of £1.055 billion, while Sir Leonard Blavatnik, majority owner of Warner Music Group, leads the overall list with £26.852 billion.
Other Notable Entries
The Sunday Times Rich List, which profiles the 350 wealthiest individuals in Britain, also welcomes Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis and her family as newcomers, with an estimated wealth of £400 million. Other musicians featured include Ed Sheeran (£410 million), Harry Styles (£235 million), Adele (£172 million), and Dua Lipa (£150 million).
Tour Controversy and Dynamic Pricing
Last summer's Oasis reunion sparked excitement among fans, but also outrage when standard ticket prices for UK and Ireland shows surged from £148 to £355. This controversy prompted the government and the UK's competition watchdog to investigate the use of dynamic pricing. Many fans were left unable to secure seats at the coveted gigs.
Upcoming Documentary
Disney has announced a new Oasis documentary directed by Steven Knight, creator of Peaky Blinders, set for release on September 11. The film will document the band's 2025 comeback tour and features the first joint interview between Noel and Liam in 25 years. A first-look image shows the brothers in high spirits, with Liam apparently telling a joke that leaves Noel in stitches.
The brothers' famously turbulent relationship led to Oasis splitting 15 years ago after a series of backstage bust-ups and arguments. However, they reunited last year for an epic 41-date world tour, kicking off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in front of over 70,000 fans.
Knight said: 'I genuinely cannot wait for the world to see this film. I believe it captures the spirit and emotion of a global cultural moment and does justice to the wit and genius of two exceptional people.' He added that the film tells the story of the brothers, the band, and the fans whose lives the music has touched.
The documentary is expected to follow the style of Disney+'s The Beatles: Get Back, offering an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the band. A source revealed that Apple TV+ had proposed significant money to secure the rights, facing competition from Amazon Prime and Netflix.
