| "Oasis aren't playing this year," Eavis tweeted on Saturday, hours before Glastonbury's final ticket resale. Those tickets went on to sell out in fewer than 16 minutes. Although the festival has announced Arcade Fire and Kasabian as its first two headliners, a third name has yet to be added to the top of the lineup. | "Oasis aren't playing this year," Eavis tweeted on Saturday, hours before Glastonbury's final ticket resale.

| Tens of thousands of people shared Gallagher's initial tweeted teases, where he spelled out the initials O, A, S, I, S, adding "OASIS LG" at the end. The response of fans was enough to prompt bookmakers to stop bets on Oasis performing at the festival in Somerset. "It’s looking as though Oasis will live forever after all," said a spokesperson for Paddy Power. | |

| All this despite Noel Gallagher's insistence, last year, that he is "not interested" in an Oasis comeback. "If there is a reunion, I won’t be in it," he said in November. But Oasis could actually reunite without Noel: Liam claims to own the rights to the band's name, and some fans have speculated that he plans to rebrand his group Beady Eye using his old band's moniker. Stereogum recently dredged up an NME interview, in which Liam indicated he had no qualms about continuing as Oasis: "We’re not using it at the moment, but if we don’t come up with something else by the time we’re ready to release the album it’ll be Oasis," he said. | |
| Then again, Oasis's former rhythm guitarist has offered a different explanation for Liam's tweets: Liam was drunk and nostalgic. "Maybe he’s just reminiscing," Bonehead told NME. "[It] was probably the fact that I texted him going, 'Meet me in the beer garden'. That probably rattled his cage … I don't know though, because I meet him every fucking month." | Then again, Oasis's former rhythm guitarist has offered a different explanation for Liam's tweets: Liam was drunk and nostalgic.
