It should come as no surprise to anyone that Liam and Noel Gallagher are about to make a fortune from their upcoming reunion tour in 2025.
Oasis broke social media last month when the band announced that, after 15 years apart, the group would be getting back together and touring following a growing demand from fans.
The Britpop icons posted on the band’s accounts: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
Initially announcing 17 shows across Dublin, London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Cardiff over the course of next summer, the band recently added two more Wembley dates following the controversy surrounding their first ticket sale, where ‘dynamic pricing‘ jacked the prices of tickets up by more than double.

Despite that, tickets sold out for fans that didn’t give up after being kicked out of the TicketMaster queue, including general tickets that went from £150 each to £355.
It highlighted the demand of the tour, and a very handsome payday for Liam and Noel Gallagher.
Reports stated that the pair would earn an initial payday of £50 million each, with earnings for the tour predicted to reach around £400 million, a truly eye-watering amount of money.
But that’s not all.
Liam and Noel will reportedly pocket 50 percent of all sales of food and drink at their 19 comeback shows, adding to the millions that is set to land in their bank account too.
A source revealed to The Sun: “It is not uncommon for top acts to get half of the bar and food take. After all, they are the ones who got the punters into the venues in the first place. And Oasis will bring along some very thirsty fans.”
It has been rumoured that a pint of beer would cost around £8 at Wembley Stadium or in Manchester’s Heaton Park, meaning that if they do take half of their sales, the pair will split £4 for every pint sold.

That’s not all though, as another sourced told The Sun on Sunday that the Gallaghers are set to make another £50 million in side deals from the tour.
They said: “It’s taken 15 years to get the warring brothers back together.
“There is every chance this could be their last hurrah, so everything’s getting monetised and they want to strike while the iron is hot. Marketing and advertising teams aren’t missing a trick. They are capitalising their comeback and everything has pound signs attached.”
Liam and Noel’s representatives had no comment.
