Noel Gallagher looks in good spirits as he returns to the studio ahead of the Oasis reunion gigs this summer

Noel Gallagher looked in good spirits on Thursday as he was seen arriving at a North London studio, ahead of the Oasis reunion gigs in the the summer.

The Don’t Look Back In Anger hitmaker kept things casual for his day at work, dressing down in a black hoodie, dark jeans and trainers.

Clutching on to his water bottle and keys containing an ‘I heart Manchester’ keyring,  the singer looked at ease as he headed inside. 

A driver was also seen carrying Noel’s two guitars inside the studio.

It comes as the set list for Oasis’s long-awaited 2025 reunion tour was leaked on social media last month and Liam has now confirmed its authenticity.

The shows will be the first time they will perform on stage together since breaking up in 2009 following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France.

The much-hyped events have been shrouded in mystery since it was confirmed in August 2024.

But the secret now seems to be out after a fan claimed to have leaked the song selection for the tour – but there was no room for one of their biggest singles.

The rumoured set starts off with Acquiesce, the only Oasis hit to feature the brothers singing in tandem and a popular opener for past shows.

The following song is the band’s first UK number one hit Some Might Say, which appears on the their second album What’s The Story (Morning Glory)? released in 1995.

The Gallaghers then go through some of their most beloved tracks including Lyla, Shakermaker, The Hindu Times, Columbia and Cast No Shadow.

Popular 1995 hit She’s Electric comes in as the eighth performance on the rumoured list and is followed in the middle of the set by songs from a variety of eras including Stand By Me, Stop Crying Your Heart Out, The Importance of Being Idle, Half The World Away, Whatever and Slide Away.

The band are set to leave their fan favourite hits until the end of their shows, with their 1994 debut single Supersonic the 15th song.

The Liam-led anthem is followed by Morning Glory, Rock ‘n’ Roll Star and Cigarettes and Alcohol.

Third from last is 1995 single Don’t Look Back In Anger, which boasts a whopping 995million listens on Spotify and is known by music fans across the world.

Cult classic Live Forever, from their 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe, is the penultimate track on the rumoured list before the Gallagher brothers finish off the set with seven-and-a-half-minute anthem Champagne Supernova.

There is noticeably no room for Wonderwall, which has more than 2.2bn plays on Spotify and is the group’s sole top 40 entry on the US Billboard H๏τ 100, although you would imagine the 1995 hit is a shoo-in for an encore.

Lead singer Liam, who boasts 3.8m followers on X, responded to the speculated song list, saying: ‘It’s not far off.’

The announcement sparked a scramble for tickets to see the concerts in Manchester, Cardiff, London, Edinburgh and Dublin.

The set is rumoured to begin with the hit Acquiesce, the only song featuring both Noel and Liam (Pictured, in Milan in 2008) 

There is no room, however, for their biggest hit Wonderwall, which is sung by Liam (pictured, performing at Wembley Stadium in September)

They will also play in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Australia.

A source told The Sun that contracts state they won’t be paid until the tour starts out of fears they could fall out beforehand.

Although the clause is a common arrangement it seemed ‘even more necessary’ because ‘of Noel and Liam’s fiery relationship’. 

The Gallaghers will reportedly be kept apart when not on stage in a ‘military style operation’ during their much-anticipated reunion tour.

There will be separate dressing rooms and transport to avoid a clash and resulting ‘PR and financial nightmare’.
