Oasis, early reunion: Show behind closed doors in London

The reunion of the Oasis is already reality. The tour that will officially mark the peace between Noel and Liam Gallagher after sixteen years from that sensational quarrel in the backstage of the rock en seine of Paris, between disheartened guitars and unrefirmed insults, will start only next July 4 from the Cardiff’s main Stadium. But the two (ex) brothers’ most raised brothers have already returned to perform together. It happened, according to what the overseas tabloids report, starting from the Sun, last Thursday in London: the Gallagher held A show behind closed doors for only professionals at the Mildmay Club in Newington Greena club historically close to the working class of the neighborhood north of the center of the British capital. The news immediately made the reunion fever climb, when there are just over two months left to debut the tour, expected by fans for some time.

According to what you learn, Noel and Liam would have shot between the walls of the MildMay Club A promotional video for the tour. The two arrived in the location separately, only to then rejoin the club, after Sunday, at Easter, told by Liam on Twitter: «We spent a Biblical Easter Sunday. Noel, Donovan and Sonny (the children of Noel, ed) came to our house for a cup of tea. It was absolutely incredible to meet the young garments, obviously I made them crazy because I am a fig guy, “the smallest of the Gallagher brothers chirped. The two remained inside the Mildmay Club for just over an hour. Meanwhile, Noel at the beginning of this week confirmed in an interview with Talksport that The tests of the tour will begin “in three weeks” and confirmed that it is in the studio “to tinker, then we will see what will happen”.

Meanwhile, hypotheses and rumors continue to circulate on the names of the musicians who will accompany Noel and Liam Gallagher on the stages and arenas of the cities in which the colossal tour will stop, which currently includes 41 shows between July and November between the United Kingdom and Ireland, Canada, the United States, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Cile and Brazil. The ticketing start-up Seat Unique, specialized in VIP Package, has released advertisements in which it anticipates that “hymns that have characterized a generation such as” Wonderwall “,” Don’t look back in Angers “and” Live Forever “will be performed live from the original formation». In March the New Musical Express had anticipated the names: Andy Bell on the bottom (it was part of the Oasis from 1999 to 2009 and the dissolution of the band followed Liam Gallagher in the Beady Eye), Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs (the third pillar of the original Oasis) and Gem Archer on the guitar (also in the Oasis from 1999 to 2009, before working both with Liam and High. Flying Birds of Noel) and Joe Waronker on drums (which unlike colleagues has never played before with the Oasis). In short, it’s almost everything ready.
