Liam Gallagher and Fontaines D.C. dispute

Overview

Liam Gallagher has publicly dismissed the Irish rock band Fontaines D.C. as potential opening acts for the upcoming Oasis ‘Live ’27’ reunion tour. Responding to inquiries on social media, Gallagher stated, “They are not good enough, they don't have any tunes.”

This exchange reignites a tension originating in 2024, when members of Fontaines D.C. expressed skepticism toward the Oasis reunion, with bassist Conor Deegan III criticizing the music industry’s reliance on nostalgia. Gallagher previously responded to those remarks by mocking the band's appearance. While vocalist Grian Chatten has attempted to distance himself from the conflict by stating, “I love Oasis. This is not my opinion,” the dispute has resurfaced.

As of now, Richard Ashcroft remains the only confirmed support act for the 42-date tour, which includes shows across Manchester, Glasgow, Ireland, Europe, and the United States.
