As they plot their massive reunion next year, Oasis will be looking for support bands to join the bill on their run of 17 U.K. and Ireland stadium tour dates, but Fontaines D.C. will probably not be one of them.

Speaking to Studio Brussel the Irish band, who recently released their superb fourth album Romance on XL Records, had their say on the reunion. “I couldn’t really give a sh-t, to be honest,” guitarist Carlos O’Connell said.
Bassist Conor Deegan III added: “I’m not excited about it, either, to be honest. I feel like we get caught in the last era – like the ’10s – and into such a nostalgic thing that we’re forgetting to make new things.”
“I feel like what we were wanting to do with this record [Romance] anyway was to look into the future and make new things,” Deegan continued. “So for Oasis to reform at this moment for us is really annoying.” Watch the clip below.

An active user on X, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher responded to the band in an interaction with a fan. “F–k them little spunkbubbles I’ve seen better dressed ROADIES,” he wrote in one tweet. “They look like a sh-t EMF,” said another, comparing the band to the ‘90s alternative rock band.

Fans had hoped that Fontaines D.C. might be enlisted as a support act for the shows, and debunked line-up posters even suggested they could be in the frame. Frontman Grian Chatten hoped to cool tensions in a comment on NME’s Instagram, saying “I love Oasis. This is not my opinion.”
Recent reports suggest that Oasis are looking for “established” acts to join the Gallagher brothers on the 2025 dates, their first in over 15 years. Noel and Liam announced their reunion in August, following their acrimonious 2009 split.
The band have been teasing international dates in the U.S. and recently shot down the rumours of a return to Knebworth House in 2026. The sale for the initial run of shows, which saw over 10 million fans from 158 countries attempting to cop tickets, came under fire for the use of Ticketmaster’s controversial “in-demand” pricing.
Fontaines D.C., meanwhile, are set to play their biggest ever show at London’s Finsbury Park next summer on July 4, the same date Oasis kick off their reunion tour at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
