The Oasis reunion tour has transformed backstage areas into jubilant wedding-like receptions, with free-flowing Guinness, champagne, and a guest list featuring football stars and Britpop royalty. Sources describe a 'proper love-in' atmosphere, contrasting sharply with earlier fears of renewed sibling rivalry between Noel and Liam Gallagher.
After each show, stars like Jack Grealish and Phil Foden mingle with Noel Gallagher and support act Richard Ashcroft. Grealish reportedly played Westlife tunes on his phone after the first Heaton Park gig, joined by Shaun Ryder, Vincent Kompany, Rodri, and members of Cast. The friends-and-family bar offers free alcohol, contributing to the celebratory mood.
Noel Gallagher has been 'beaming' and smiling more than ever, according to insiders, often joined by his girlfriend Sally Mash. The couple began dating over a year ago after Noel's split from his second wife. Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher avoids the backstage booze, sticking to a health drink of apple cider vinegar, honey, turmeric, cayenne pepper, lemon, and hot water to manage his Hashimoto's disease.
The siblings have been holding hands onstage, dispelling rumours of a feud. Their mother, Peggy, plans to attend a Wembley gig, having missed the earlier shows. The tour, which began in Cardiff and included five triumphant Heaton Park shows, continues with Wembley dates, drawing over 10 million fans from 158 countries during ticket sales.
