Scottish Oasis fans are now counting down the days until the Oasis Live 25′ reunion tour comes to Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium in less than two weeks time.
The band abruptly came to a halt in 2009 after a fiery fall-out between Liam and Noel Gallagher, which raged on for over 15-years before the two brothers finally announced they’d made peace with one another last year, reports The Record.
The feuding siblings are said to have finally made up over a late night phone call but fans have their own theory for why they eventually put their rift to bed and announced an Oasis comeback.

After Oasis announced their reunion tour last August, fans took to social media to credit one unexpected person for their reunion despite that same person previously being suggested as the sole reason the band would never return.
The credit all goes to Noel Gallagher’s ex wife, Sara McDonald. The Edinburgh music PR was married to the High Flying Birds frontman for twelve years before they announced they were going their separate ways in 2023, the year before Oasis announced their return.
Noel and Sara, who share kids Donovan, 17, and Sonny, 15, made their separation public in January 2023.
While being married to Noel, Sara, found herself embroiled in the Oasis feud and was known to not have a good relationship with Liam Gallagher.
She was also known to not be too keen on Oasis’ music in general as Noel previously admitted she’s “not the biggest fan of anything I’ve ever done”.
Liam previously stirred the pot on X, formerly known as Twitter, when he suggested that Sara may be the sole reason why an Oasis reunion would never happen.
Replying to a fan who asked why Noel was so against reuniting, he replied: “I’ve told you before he’s right up for it but you know who won’t let him as she doesn’t like Oasis music.”
However, in an ironic twist of events, fans now believe Sara McDonald is the exact reason why an Oasis reunion is happening due to the £20m pay out she received from Noel as a result of their divorce.
TikTok user @lottieaesthetic took to the platform to upload a picture of the former couple with the Oasis track Don’t Look Back in Anger playing in the background.
The photo was captioned: “I’d like to thank Sara McDonald for rinsing Noel that badly in the divorce. Without you this wouldn’t be possible.”

The TikTok, which was uploaded in 2024, raked in millions of views, with fans agreeing that money is the real reason why Oasis have made a return.
One person replied: “Oasis only getting back together to make a few quid, they hate each other.”
Someone else chimed in: “Finally someone said it.” A third echoed: “Sara, you’re a legend babes x.”
It seems that Liam was not the only one who wasn’t keen on his brother’s ex-wife as fans also seem to have a very clear opinion on Sara.
One comment read: “Only positive thing Sara contributed to Oasis.” A second agreed: “Sara FINALLY did something good.”
Oasis are currently in the midst of their UK and Ireland 2025 reunion tour with Edinburgh set to be their next stop after their five shows at London’s Wembley Stadium.
The band will play in the Scots capital at Murrayfield Stadium for three nights on August 8, August 9 and August 12.
