The Oasis frontman has told fans that preparations have begun for the Manchester band's epic dates next year.
Liam Gallagher has said rehearsals for Oasis' reunion dates have commenced.
The Gallagher brothers confirmed they were getting the band back together in late August and they've plotted dates in the UK & Ireland, North America and Australia as part of the Oasis Live '25 tour.
In true Liam Gallagher style, the Rock 'N' Roll Star singer has been interacting with his fans on X and when one asked when the brothers would begin practicing for the tour, he responded: "We’ve started".
We’ve started

Liam teased fans about who would be joining them as special guests, and strongly suggested who they could expect to see open for them at the likes of Wembley Stadium and Manchester's Heaton Park next year.
It all began when he asked his loyal followers whether he should have Richard Ashcroft or Manic Street Preachers on the bill.
Really? Get a decent band in— supergrvrass? Blur?hhahah

After many responded, including former Britpop rival Graham Coxon no less, who volunteered Blur alongside Supergrass for the job, Liam made it clear that Oasis wouldn't "set sail" without their friend and former Verve frontman Ashcroft.
He wrote: "Only kidding we never set sail without the 1 and only RICARDO he’s our boy from day DOT come aboard Rkid".

To drive the point home, the Supersonic rocker sent a tweet with the suggestion that he'd spoken to his brother Noel (also known as The Chief) and that both Ashcroft and Cast were shoo-ins for the epic tour.
He wrote: "Just spoke to the CHEF here it is OASIS RICHARD ASHCROFT CAST you are welcome see you nxt year I’m of to to identify as a massive c*** LG x".

Oasis do have one band confirmed as support so far in Cage The Elephant, who will join them as special guests on their North American dates.
After two nights at stadiums in Toronto, East Rutherford, Los Angeles, Mexico City and one night in Chicago sold out immediately last week, the Gallagher brothers announced their Australian dates, which will see them play Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on 31st October and Sydney's Accor Stadium on 7th November.
