Oasis get inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday, November 14, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Rolling Stone reported Monday that neither Gallagher brother is going — and NME’s reporting agrees: not to accept, not to perform, just not going.
Noel has a scheduling excuse, if you squint: he performs that same night with Goldie at the EFG London Jazz Festival at Royal Festival Hall — his first solo performance since the reunion. Liam’s excuse is the honest one. Posting on X on Tuesday, he wrote: “It’s too far to be going for the night I got shit to do it’s Christmas.” Asked again, he added: “If it was in the UK I’d be there but for some reason it’s in LA and that’s miles away.” And then the line that will outlive the ceremony: “I’d rather stay and stack the dishwasher.”
Hold that up against what Liam said when this year’s induction was announced — the vote was Oasis’s third straight nomination, after 2024 and 2025. He called it “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.” In April he passed along his mum Peggy’s instructions: she told him to “stop being a dick and go to the awards and behave.” To a fan who quoted her at him this week, he replied: “you do know your allowed to change your mind stop crying your heart out and go put the kettle on.”
Watch: the official trailer for Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger (Disney) — the documentary the brothers did show up for.
This is also a man who called the Hall “a load of bollox” in 2024 and declared it “full of BUMBACLARTS,” so the arc is not exactly out of character. Dream about it as a kid, insult it as a younger man, thank the voters, get told off by your mum, then skip it for the dishwasher. The class going in alongside them — Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division and New Order, Sade, Luther Vandross, Phil Collins, Wu-Tang Clan — will manage the evening without them.
The reunion itself proved these two can cross any distance when they feel like it — a 42-date Live ’27 tour is already announced. The Hall of Fame just isn’t the gig. Somewhere in LA on Saturday, an empty pair of seats will accept one of the biggest honors in rock, and the dishwasher in Manchester will be extremely well stacked.
