Liam Gallagher Says Fontaines D.C. Lack Tunes for Oasis Live '27 Support

Liam Gallagher dismissed Fontaines D.C. as Oasis support in a blunt X post on 16 October 2026. He posted, "There not good enough they don't have any tunes."

A fan asked Liam why Oasis had not booked Fontaines D.C. to open Live '27 shows. Liam answered with that short post, and the exchange spread fast among Oasis fans.

What Liam Actually Said

Liam gave a personal view, not a formal band announcement, and Oasis issued no statement that rejected Fontaines D.C. as a support act.

Meanwhile, fans should read the post for what it says. Liam judged the band on tunes, and he used his own X account to say so.

For context, Liam posts in his own blunt style on X. His post carries his name, but it does not name any other Oasis decision maker.

Who Opens Live '27

Richard Ashcroft opens all 42 Live '27 shows as special guest. The tour lists Ashcroft as the support act for every date on the run.

That said, no other support act holds a confirmed slot for any Live '27 date. Fans should treat every other support name as unconfirmed unless the tour announces it.

The tour lists only Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher by name as performers, and Bonehead and every other touring member remain unconfirmed for Live '27.

Why Fans Raised Fontaines D.C.

Fontaines D.C. released their new album Dopamine Chamber on 16 October 2026. The band previewed the album at an intimate London Roundhouse show on 15 October 2026.

Meanwhile, Oasis fans often link big guitar bands to Oasis support slots. Fontaines D.C. carry a strong live reputation, so fans asked the question in the first place.

For context, Live '27 runs from 21 May to 26 September 2027, and the run covers 42 shows in 11 cities across 8 countries.

The 2024 History Behind the Exchange

Carlos O'Connell said in 2024 that Fontaines D.C. cared little about the Oasis reunion. Conor Deegan III said in 2024 that he felt no excitement about the reunion either.

Deegan said the reunion pulled attention back to an old era, and he said Fontaines D.C. wanted to make new work and look ahead instead.

Meanwhile, Liam fired back in 2024 after fans raised Fontaines D.C. for Live '25 support. He rejected the idea in sharp terms on X at that time.

Grian Chatten Took a Different Line

Grian Chatten distanced himself from his bandmates' 2024 comments. He wrote on Instagram, "I love Oasis. This is not my opinion."

Worth noting, Chatten leads Fontaines D.C. as frontman and singer, and his comment split the band's public stance on Oasis in 2024.

That said, Chatten has not changed Liam's latest view in public, and Fontaines D.C. had not responded in public when NME published its report.

NME sought comment from a Fontaines D.C. spokesperson, and the band gave no public answer in the NME report.

What This Means for Live '27 Fans

Fans should not expect Fontaines D.C. at Live '27 shows. Liam's post points away from that booking, but the tour has announced no wider support list.

Meanwhile, Richard Ashcroft gives every show a confirmed opener, and fans can plan around Ashcroft with confidence for all 42 dates.

On the practical side, tour dates show five Glasgow shows and eleven Manchester shows. Glasgow plays Celtic Park on 21, 23, 25, 28 and 29 May.

Manchester plays Etihad Stadium on 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 15, 18, 19, 22, 25 and 26 June. Knebworth closes the tour with six shows on 11, 12, 18, 19, 25 and 26 September.

Munich plays three shows on 2, 3 and 6 July. Barcelona plays two shows on 10 and 11 July, and Amsterdam plays two shows on 16 and 17 July.

Paris plays two shows on 20 and 23 July. Rome plays three shows on 26, 29 and 30 July, and Boston plays three shows on 10, 13 and 14 August.

Las Vegas plays three shows on 20, 21 and 24 August, and Slane plays two shows on 4 and 5 September. Knebworth dates anchor the finale.
