Noel Gallagher's pal believes Oasis may release new music after tour success
EXCLUSIVE: Radio 2 DJ Jo Whiley is friends with Noel Gallagher and hopes Oasis will bring out new music in 2026 following the staggering success of the reunion tour The countdown is now on for the first show of the Oasis world tour but once the gigs begin the next question for many fans will centre around if the band will bring out new material. Rumours have persisted for months since the Noel and Liam reunion was announced about possible tracks or demos or recording sessions, but so far nothing is confirmed to be happening. Radio 2 DJ Jo Whiley, a close friend of Noel, certainly thinks it is likely though. Jo said: 'I wouldn't be surprised if they've written something, if Noel has written something new, because I think he'd want to prove himself. He's very ambitious. He really wants to be respected. I'd love them to do new material that was really good. You know, we've had Pulp just coming out and doing an amazing album. 'Blur have done an amazing album. You've got Suede, all their peers are coming up with stuff. They're still creative. They're not ancient men, you know, they're artists who want to strive to be great, and they've both(Noel and Liam) done that with their individual careers as well. They're really committed. Noel has been so committed to making new music all the time. So I don't know how they could not try and do something new. I'll keep my fingers crossed, and I'll hope that it's brilliant.' 6 Music DJ Steve Lamacq, who used to champion Oasis in the Nineties on Radio 1 alongside Jo said : " I'd quite like to hear a grown up version of Oasis in some respects, but I'm not sure that's what Oasis would do best. Because I think what everyone wants is Oasis still being the pure, exciting rock and roll band that made those early albums. I'd be interested. Would it be any good? You'd hope so." Other sources the Mirror spoke to have predicted a new track could be added to a new greatest hits album if one came out in 2026. One insider said: 'Now the band are back they may want to bring out a new greatest hits which reflects what Noel and Liam consider the best songs, spanning every era and even B-sides.' Since warring brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher called a truce to their 15-year feud and announced a huge stadium world tour, their songs and albums have re-entered the top end of the charts including their albums Definitely Maybe and (What's The Story) Morning Glory? and singles collection Time Flies 1994-2009. Plans were previously underway for a new greatest hits compilation which would be curated by Liam and Noel rather than contain all of the band's singles. But it was cancelled at the last minute some time ago. Speaking before the reunion was announced, Noel, 57, previously said on the possible greatest hits album: 'Liam put the mockers on it so I don't think it will be coming out. 'He wouldn't agree to anything at the last minute. Right at the last minute as well, it was due to come out. Anyway, there you go, it's not the end of the world. It is a shame. 'He wouldn't have it in the end, I don't know why. I gave up f***ing arguing with it, I just said, 'You know what, I've got other f***ing things to do now. Bye bye.' One album that is definitely coming out is deluxe new formats of iconic album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? - with unplugged versions of five iconic tracks. The move is to celebrate the era-defining album's landmark 30-year anniversary, one of the reasons it is thought the Gallaghers have also decided to tour this year The new version of their second LP will feature new unplugged versions of five classic recordings Cast No Shadow, Morning Glory, Wonderwall, Acquiesce and Champagne Supernova. Released on October 3 on Big Brother Recordings, (What's The Story) Morning Glory? (30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) is available for pre-order on limited edition 2CD and 3LP formats as well as digital formats. This special anniversary format follows last summer's release of the 30th Anniversary Edition of Definitely Maybe which reached number 1 in the Official UK Album Chart for the second time in that album's history. Noel and Liam will walk on stage for the first time together in public, since the band split nearly two decades ago, on Friday in Cardiff. There will also be dates in Manchester, London and Dublin as part of the tour.
