Yep, that'll do just nicely.

Every time a new detail about the Oasis reunion shows drops we ever so slightly lose our mind and if reports on the full band lineup for the world tour are to be trusted, we have every right to do so.

We can’t say all of the gang are back together, but it sounds like a good few of them are.

The ‘Live ’25’ gigs are fast approaching and although we’ve already had the support acts confirmed, fans have been waiting to find out whether the other Oasis bandmates would be joining the Gallagher brothers in reuniting this summer.

Well, according to NME, we now know the other names who’ll be standing aside Liam and Noel to bring the Britpop icons back to life.

As has now been reshared at length online, sources close to the band reportedly told the outlet that at least one of the original Oasis lineup is thought to be joining them on tour, as well as two long-serving members who played with the legendary rock band between 1999 and their split a decade later.

The seemingly ‘confirmed’ lineup is as follows:

Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs – rhythm guitar

Perhaps the most anticipated member said to be returning to the stage is legendary guitarist, ‘Bonehead’. After playing with LG for a number of years as a solo artist and now having been given the all-clear following his cancer diagnosis, Archers is a lasting connection to the ’91 lineup.

Gem Archer – guitar and backing vocals

The other name carrying the riffs besides Arthurs and Noel will be Gem Archer: the man who replaced the returning 59-year-old who has similarly played with both Liam’s Beady Eye and the older Gallagher brother’s High Flying Birds for many years.

Andy Bell – bass

Next up is another member of the ’99-2009 lineup as Andy Bell is believed to be dusting off his bass guitar for the Live ’25 dates. Bell, now 54, replaced legendary Paul ‘Guigsy’ McGuigan and is also a former member of Welsh indie rock band Ride – but now he’s set to get back on the road with Oasis.

Joey Waronker – drums

Last but not least is the only ‘new’ face and that is 55-year-old Joey Waronker, a well-known American drummer and producer who has worked with everyone from Beck, Thom Yorke, R.E.M, as well as former Stone Roses member John Squire on his joint album with Liam Gallagher released in March 2024.

As for how accurate this list is, we weren’t too sure until Liam quickly hopped on social media and essentially hinted that the leak may or may not be on the money.

Then again, you never know if the infamous frontman is on the wind-up or not…

Writing on X, he said, “It’s not the lineup reveal I’m bothered about I’ll reveal that to you in a minute I’m more bothered about the line where it says a source close to the band and tour that really causes me a great deal of concern LG x”.

It didn’t take long for him to sarcastically post his own ‘real’ lineup in response:

To be honest, whatever combination of former, most recent or first-time players we get, we’re just going to be happy to see the Burnage boys standing side by side in the flesh.

We’re still not sure we’ll believe it until we see them up there on the stage with our own eyes but, for now, it looks as though the Oasis reunion is on track with a strong lineup to make the comeback as memorable as possible.

It’s nice to the Gallagher kids now getting along with each other again too:
