For years, the notion of an Oasis reunion seemed as remote as a Gallagher family holiday. Yet here we are: the brothers and bandmates are slated to grace stages worldwide in 2025. It's a reality fans have scarcely dared to imagine, and anticipation is soaring.
With seven studio albums in their arsenal and a few solo gems from Liam and Noel potentially in the mix, the setlist decisions loom large. Sure, hits like Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova will inevitably make the cut—those anthems need no lobbying. But for a reunion of this magnitude, we're hoping they'll dig deeper into their catalog, unearthing tracks that haven't always gotten the spotlight.
Here are ten songs we're crossing our fingers for—each a hidden gem or an overlooked classic begging for a revival.
"She's Electric"
From: (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995)
An infectious, Beatles-infused delight, She's Electric hasn't seen a stage since 2002, and its absence is felt. The track's breezy falsetto, jaunty rhythm, and sheer whimsy would light up any stadium. Ironically, it was initially passed over for Definitely Maybe in favor of Digsy's Diner, but time has proven its enduring charm.
"Hello"
From: (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995)
Could there be a more fitting opener? The jangly guitars and spirited refrain ("It's good to be back!") practically beg for a triumphant return. A staple of their Morning Glory era, Hello hasn't been heard live since the '90s, and it's high time for a revival.
"Half the World Away"
From: 1994 B-side
An Oasis reunion without a Noel-led ballad would be incomplete, and Half the World Away delivers that delicate blend of melancholy and beauty he does so well. A cult favorite, this B-side deserves a moment in the spotlight, offering a reflective pause amid the high-energy hits.
"Turn Up the Sun"
From: Don't Believe the Truth (2005)
With its swelling intro and triumphant chorus, Turn Up the Sun is a natural fit for an emotional reunion. Penned by bassist Andy Bell, the track feels like an anthem for a fresh start—apt for a band finding their way back to the stage together.
"Acquiesce"
From: 1995 B-side
Liam and Noel sharing vocal duties on Acquiesce epitomize their combustible magic. Though it was a live favorite back then, it's been nearly two decades since fans have heard it on stage. A reunion tour seems the perfect moment to bring this quintessential Oasis track back.
"Be Here Now"
From: Be Here Now (1997)
Yes, Noel once dismissed the Be Here Now album as an overblown, coke-fueled misstep, but even he can't deny the allure of its title track. Its swirling riffs and epic scale demand to be revisited, and what better time than now, when nostalgia is running high?
"Shakermaker"
From: Definitely Maybe (1994)
This ode to '60s psychedelia may have divided critics, but its place in Oasis lore is undeniable. Its dreamy swagger captures the band's early ethos, making it a must for any retrospective celebration of their career.
"Little by Little"
From: Heathen Chemistry (2002)
While Liam may have written off Heathen Chemistry as forgettable, we beg to differ. With its soulful Noel vocal and introspective lyrics, Little by Little remains a fan favorite. It's a subtle but powerful track that would provide a poignant moment in the setlist.
"The Importance of Being Idle"
From: Don't Believe the Truth (2005)
Whimsical yet biting, this Kinks-inspired gem was one of Oasis' final chart-toppers before their split. Its breezy melody, coupled with Liam's offbeat charm, makes it a no-brainer for the tour.
"Go Let It Out"
From: Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000)
While the album it hails from might not be their most potent, Go Let It Out stands tall as an anthem for everyman rebellion. Its rousing chorus is tailor-made for sing-alongs, the kind that will echo in arenas long after the final encore.
