Oasis are reportedly set to skip the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony later this month.
The Britpop icons are among this year’s inductees along with Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, Luther Vandross, Phil Collins and Wu-Tang Clan.
They were nominated for the third consecutive year in 2026, following nods in 2024 and 2025 Upon being nominated this year, frontman Liam Gallagher wrote: “I wanna thank all the people who voted for us it’s a real honour ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I’d dream about 1 day being in the RnR hall of fame it’s true what they say anything is possible if you have a dream LG x.”
He had previously reacted to their 2024 nomination by writing: “F*** the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS”, and also discouraged fans from voting for them, calling it “a load of b*****”. The singer reiterated his sentiments last year too, saying the Rock Hall was “for W******”.
Now, with the ceremony set to take place this weekend (Saturday November 14), it has been reported that neither Liam nor Noel Gallagher will be in attendance for the event to perform or accept the award.
Noel will be in London when the event takes place, performing at Goldie‘s shows at EFG London Jazz Festival, in what will be his first solo performance since the Oasis ‘Live ’25’ reunion last year.
Liam, on the other hand, has told fans on X/Twitter why he won’t be there on the night, simply writing: “It’s too far to be going for the night. I got s*** to do. It’s Christmas.”
There was a moment back in April where it seemed like the singer had put his disdain for the Rock Hall to one side and was planning on attending the ceremony. He wrote on X that he had been “speaking to my mummy” about the honour, and told by her that he “may have been a little hasty with my perception of the organisation”. He also added that she told him “to stop being a d*** and go to the awards and behave [because] you never know, you might enjoy it.”

At time of writing, it isn’t yet clear whether other members of Oasis, including Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Gem Archer, Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan, Andy Bell, Tony McCarroll and Alan White, will be in attendance for this weekend’s ceremony. NME has reached out for comment.
Earlier this summer, Phil Collins spoke about potentially meeting Oasis at the 2026 Hall Of Fame ceremony, particularly since Noel previously described him as “the antichrist of music”.
“I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt here, and assuming he doesn’t really think I’m the antichrist,” Collins quipped in an interview with MOJO.
Phil Collins was previously inducted as a member of Genesis in 2010. This year was the first time he was on the ballot as a solo artist. The two other first-time nominees in 2026 were Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan.
As for other Oasis news, the Britpop giants are now preparing to return to the road for their sold-out ‘Live ’27’ tour, which includes 42 dates across the UK, Europe and North America, including 11 nights at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium and six at Knebworth. This comes following the mammoth ‘Live ‘25’ shows, and the subsequent Don’t Look Back In Anger documentary.
