Oasis Won’t Attend Rock Hall Induction as Noel Plays London
Oasis will not appear at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Los Angeles to accept the honor or perform. Noel Gallagher is booked at a London jazz festival instead, and Liam Gallagher has not said he will make the trip.
Oasis will not attend the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Los Angeles' Peacock Theatre, and the band will neither accept the award nor perform. It is a no-show that fans had hoped to avoid.
Noel Gallagher has just announced he will be at Goldie's EFG Jazz Festival at London's Royal Festival Hall, about 5,400 miles from L.A. It will be his first performance as a solo act since Oasis reunited in 2025.
Some fans still held out hope that Liam Gallagher would cross the Atlantic. He will not.
A long-running dig at the Hall
Liam Gallagher all but rejected the honor when Oasis were first nominated in 2024, before voters had even weighed in. He told an interviewer he did not want to be part of the institution and dismissed much of its board.
Oasis got in the following year, helped, it seems, by the huge response to their reunion tour. By then the brothers were no longer speaking to the press, but Liam answered on X.
"Reverse psychology vibes in the area Oasis RnR hall of farmers I mean famers," he wrote. He thanked the people who voted and said it was "a real honour".
In follow-up posts he stayed vague about turning up. He said he had spoken to his mother when the news broke, and that she thought he had been "a little hasty" and told him to "go to the awards and behave".
Who is being inducted
Oasis go in alongside Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan.
The Oasis honorees are Liam and Noel Gallagher, guitarists Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and Gem Archer, bassists Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan and Andy Bell, and drummers Tony McCarroll and Alan White.
The current touring lineup includes Arthurs, Archer and Bell. The band has not played with McGuigan, McCarroll or White in many years.
It is unclear whether any former members will be at the ceremony. The Hall has not said how it will honor the group in their absence.
Not the first no-show
Oasis join a long list of inductees who skipped the event. It includes Paul McCartney, Van Morrison, Jerry Garcia, Levon Helm, David Bowie, Roger Waters, Grace Slick, Joni Mitchell, the Sex Pistols, Eddie Van Halen and Axl Rose.
