Noel and Liam’s Mum Peggy: The Instigator Behind Oasis Reunion

The true spark for the Oasis reunion came from their mum Peggy, who inspired the legendary brothers to share the stage again after years apart.

Peggy Gallagher: The Driving Force Behind Oasis Reunion

Liam and Noel Gallagher’s mother, Peggy, has stepped forward to reveal she was the “instigator” of the much-anticipated Oasis reunion shows. The Manchester rock icons are set to kick off their Live ’25 tour starting July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, wrapping it up on November 23 in São Paulo, Brazil. The tour includes five huge gigs each at Manchester’s Heaton Park and Wembley Stadium in London.

This marks the first time the Gallagher brothers have performed together since their split in 2009. Speaking in an interview, Peggy shared her role in this historic comeback. When asked if she had anything to do with the reunion, she confidently said, “I was the instigator, yes. But sure, wasn’t it always going to happen at some time or other? It was their choice, of course. Look you can’t force them to do things they don’t want to do.”

A Mother’s Hope and Relief

At 82 years old, Peggy expressed relief and joy to see her sons making music together again after years of tension. “It’s great, because nobody wants their kids falling out, do they?” she said with warmth. However, she admitted the upcoming shows have her a bit on edge: “I’ll be glad when it’s all just over because it makes me get too stressed.”

Later in the chat, Peggy hinted she might try to make it to their Dublin concert, despite recently having knee replacement surgery. “I’m hoping to get to the Oasis concert in Dublin in August if I can hobble around,” she said. “That’s my plan anyway… it will be great.”

The Roots of Family Strength

Peggy has always been a beloved figure in the Gallagher family, having shielded her children from a troubled childhood. She courageously left their abusive father, Tommy, taking Liam, Noel, and their older brother Paul to a safer home.

Liam once recalled this difficult time: “I was about seven when my mam left my dad, he was out all the time, fighting, beating my mam up, beating Noel and (older brother) Paul up. Never touched me, though. Then, one night, while he was out, my mam got her brothers round, got all our gear in a truck, left him a mattress, and we went off to our new house.” He added simply, “It was immediately better for all of us.”

A Mother’s Wish for Peace

In the years without Oasis, Peggy consistently encouraged her sons to make peace. Back in 2011, she told a publication, “I want them to sort it out.” Yet, Noel was surprised by her calm reaction when the reunion was officially announced. “When we told her we were getting back together, she said, ‘Sure, that will be nice.’ That was it,” he said.

Oasis Reunion & Adidas Campaign

The Gallagher brothers have recently reunited beyond the stage as well, appearing together in an Adidas Originals campaign. Although some fans criticized the ad, Liam responded on X (formerly Twitter), asserting boldly, “Oasis don’t discriminate.”
