It’s time to get ready for what promises to be one of the most talked-about musical events of the decade: Oasis are officially reuniting for a massive 2025 tour. After years of speculation and a famously rocky relationship, the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, are putting aside their differences to bring their iconic band back to the stage. This highly anticipated tour, "Oasis Live 25," will see the band perform at major venues across the UK and Ireland, marking their first reunion since their explosive split in 2009.
The tour kicks off in Cardiff on July 4th, 2025, before moving on to multiple shows in Manchester, London, and Dublin. These performances coincide with the 30th anniversaries of their landmark albums, Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, making this reunion even more special. While the current schedule only includes dates in the UK and Ireland, there’s a strong possibility that the tour will expand internationally.

The Cultural Impact and Iconic Style of Oasis in the Britpop Era
Oasis, formed in Manchester in the early 1990s, quickly became one of the most influential and beloved bands of the Britpop era. Their music, characterized by its anthemic choruses, raw energy, and a mix of rock and roll with melodic pop, struck a chord with listeners worldwide. Hits like "Wonderwall," "Champagne Supernova," and "Don't Look Back in Anger" became the soundtrack of a generation, with their lyrics often reflecting themes of working-class struggles, hope, and defiance. This resonated deeply with fans, particularly in the UK, where Oasis became more than just a band—they became a cultural phenomenon.
The Gallagher brothers each sport their signature looks: Liam in a mod-style parka and round John Lennon glasses, while Noel opts for a minimalist and practical ensemble, the less flashy version of their iconic style.
In the 90s & early 2000s, Liam and Noel were not just known for their music but also for their iconic style. Liam’s swaggering presence, combined with his sharp fashion sense—often featuring parkas, tailored coats, and bold prints—embodied the attitude of the time. Noel’s more understated yet equally stylish look, often consisting of casual wear mixed with mod-inspired elements, complemented his role as the band’s mastermind.
Their style was heavily influenced by the mod culture of the 1960s, which emphasized sharp dressing, a love for music, and a rebellious spirit. This influence was mirrored in their fanbase, many of whom adopted similar styles, blending vintage and modern fashion with the same effortless cool the Gallaghers exuded. The band's image, both musically and visually, helped to define the Britpop movement and left a lasting impact on popular culture, echoing the rebellious energy of the mod era and inspiring countless fans to emulate their look and attitude.

Sunglasses: A Defining Element of the Gallagher Brothers' Iconic Style
Liam and Noel Gallagher's association with sunglasses is almost as iconic as their music. The brothers have long been known for their distinct fashion choices, with sunglasses playing a key role in defining their signature looks. This accessory isn't just about style for the Gallaghers; it’s part of the rock 'n' roll attitude they exude, blending effortlessly with their swaggering personas.

Liam Gallagher, in particular, has made round & aviator sunglasses his trademark, often pairing them with a parka and a sharp haircut, creating a look that’s instantly recognisable. His choice of sunglasses is reminiscent of the mod culture of the 1960s, which heavily influences his style.

Noel Gallagher, while less flamboyant than his younger brother, also frequently dons sunglasses, typically opting for classic styles. These sunglasses complement his more reserved, yet equally cool, demeanor.

The Gallaghers’ consistent use of sunglasses has solidified this accessory as a symbol of their brand, contributing to the timeless rock 'n' roll aura that fans have come to expect from Oasis. As the band prepares for their 2025 reunion, it’s almost certain that sunglasses will once again play a pivotal role in their stage presence, continuing to define the iconic look of one of Britain's most legendary bands.
Their Styles Today: Post-Oasis Evolution

His style remains effortlessly cool, blending vintage-inspired pieces with a contemporary edge. Through his fashion label, Pretty Green, Liam extends his distinctive look to fans, keeping his rebellious, iconic image alive.
These days, Liam continues to rock Carrera Eyewear, often seen in the now-discontinued Carrera Glory 2M286 frames.
Noel Gallagher’s post-Oasis style reflects a more refined and mature approach. He favors tailored blazers, well-fitted shirts, and neutral tones, creating a polished yet relaxed look. While his style has become more sophisticated, Noel still incorporates casual elements like jeans and classic sneakers. His aviator sunglasses continue to be a signature accessory, adding a subtle rock 'n' roll flair to his otherwise understated wardrobe.

As Oasis prepares for their much-anticipated reunion tour, fans are left wondering whether the Gallagher brothers will revisit their iconic '90s looks or bring their evolved, post-Oasis styles to the stage. Will Liam don his signature parkas and round sunglasses, or will he surprise us with a modern twist? Will Noel stick to his refined, tailored ensembles, or channel the rock 'n' roll edge of his early days? Whatever they choose, one thing is certain—their style, like their music, will continue to captivate and inspire.
Au revoir,
