Noel Gallagher marked the conclusion of Oasis' UK reunion tour with a glamorous celebration at the Chiltern Firehouse on Sunday, drawing an impressive array of guests from the music and social scenes. The 58-year-old musician appeared relaxed in a black bomber jacket and jeans as he took full advantage of the venue's reopening, reportedly providing unlimited Supersonic cocktails and catering for the occasion. Among the attendees were notable names such as singer Lily Allen, model Poppy Delevingne accompanied by her partner Archie Keswick, and Lady Victoria Hervey, who opted for a chic velvet blazer. Interestingly, Liam Gallagher, Noel's younger brother and the band's lead singer, chose to skip the main event for a more subdued evening with his partner Debbie Gwyther, prioritising his vocal health after the strenuous tour.

Sources close to the band revealed that while Noel was keen for Liam to join the festivities, understanding the pressure on his sibling to maintain his voice was paramount. This cautious approach aligns with Liam's earlier commitment to avoiding alcohol and focusing on fitness, especially following his erratic performance during the band's 2000 Wembley concert. Despite the initial absence, it has been reported that Liam did eventually join Noel and their mother Peggie in a post-show toast, breaking his usual avoidance of alcohol to celebrate the tour's success after their final gig at Wembley Stadium.

The Oasis reunion, announced in 2024 after a 16-year hiatus, ignited massive excitement in their hometown of Manchester and beyond. The band's highly anticipated comeback tour, named Oasis Live '25, kicked off on 4 July 2025 in Cardiff and is set to conclude in São Paulo in November. The 41-date global tour has already shattered records with an astounding 900,000 tickets sold, underscoring the enduring loyalty of their fanbase. Notably, their performances at Heaton Park in Manchester brought euphoric crowds of all ages, many clad in Oasis-themed apparel, underscoring the cultural significance of the band's return.

Adding to the excitement, Liam dropped a significant hint during the Wembley finale by thanking fans and suggesting that Oasis will return with new dates next year, fueling speculation about a possible reunion show at Knebworth. This location holds deep nostalgic value as the site of their iconic 1996 concerts, which remain a highlight in the band's history. Industry insiders anticipate the ongoing tour could generate around £400 million, bolstered by the simultaneous release of an expanded reissue of their debut album, Definitely Maybe, timed to coincide with its 30th anniversary. This re-release includes previously unheard and abandoned tracks, mixed anew by Noel Gallagher himself.

The tour's dynamic has been highlighted by moments of familial reconciliation, with Liam and Noel once again appearing hand-in-hand on stage during their London shows at Wembley Stadium. These public displays of unity have resonated deeply with fans, reflecting a band not only rediscovering its musical chemistry but also rekindling personal bonds after years of estrangement. The reunion has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm both in the UK and internationally, with fans eagerly awaiting further announcements and the prospect of more shows following such a triumphant return.
