While the UK leg of Oasis’s reunion tour ended with fireworks at Wembley Stadium, Liam Gallagher opted for a much quieter evening than his bandmate and brother, Noel.
The younger Gallagher skipped the star-studded wrap party to stay in with his girlfriend Debbie Gwyther, prioritizing rest ahead of the band’s upcoming North America dates.
Noel Gallagher Hosts Star-Studded Celebration at Chiltern Firehouse
Noel, by contrast, welcomed a slew of famous faces to Marylebone’s Chiltern Firehouse.
Guests included Matt Smith, Lily James, Poppy Delevingne, and long-time friend Lily Allen, all joining to celebrate the final UK show of Oasis’s lucrative Live ’25 tour.
The party followed a 23-track set at Wembley, capped off with the iconic Champagne Supernova, and hinted at more UK dates next year.
Liam Avoids Potentially Awkward Encounter with Lily Allen
Some observers might see Liam’s absence as fortuitous, given his colorful history with Allen.
In her 2018 autobiography, My Thoughts Exactly, Allen famously recounted a “mile-high tryst” with Liam aboard a Tokyo-bound flight.
Liam’s decision to stay home ensured no uncomfortable encounters at the wrap party, while Noel and Allen’s friendship remained as lively as ever.
Noel and Lily Allen’s Longstanding Bond
Noel and Lily Allen share a friendship that dates back decades.
Allen first met Noel at Supernova Heights, the Belsize Park home he shared with first wife Meg Matthews in the mid-’90s.
Her father, comedian Keith Allen, was a frequent visitor to the house, forging an early connection between the families.
Noel later reflected on their bond in a 2009 blog post, calling Lily “a good kid” who “works hard, plays hard.”
Public Displays of Friendship Over the Years
Their playful relationship has been visible at multiple events, from the Arts Club BRIT Awards after-party in 2013, where Allen attempted to plant a kiss on Noel’s cheek, to the Ivor Novello Awards later that year.
Noel also offered support when Allen’s fourth studio album, No Shame, missed out on the Mercury Music Prize, showing a camaraderie that has endured despite decades in the public eye.
Controversial Past with Liam Recalls Lurid Allegations
Liam’s past with Allen, documented in her autobiography, included a brief affair while he was married to All Saints singer Nicole Appleton.
Allen recounted moments of intimacy with Liam on a Tokyo flight, emphasizing that it occurred while both were technically married.
Despite the controversy, Allen has commented positively on Oasis’s reunion tour, calling it a cultural moment unmatched by other UK band reunions.
Oasis UK Tour Concludes with Plans for the Far East
The Gallagher brothers now look forward to a month-long break after concluding the UK leg of the Live ’25 tour.
The reunion resumes in South Korea, with the first Far East show scheduled for October 21 at Goyang Stadium, marking the next chapter in Oasis’s ongoing musical comeback.
Fans Reflect on the Legacy of Oasis and Their Reunion
For fans, the tour remains a celebration of Oasis’s enduring legacy, blending nostalgia with anticipation for future performances.
With Liam prioritizing his vocal rest and Noel embracing the party scene, the dynamics of the Gallagher brothers continue to entertain both on and off stage.
