Oasis fans were buzzing when the legendary Britpop band was named among the 2025 nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They joined a star-studded list that included New Order, Cyndi Lauper, The White Stripes, Mariah Carey, Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Outkast, Maná, and the late Joe Cocker. For many, this was a long-overdue recognition of Oasis’ impact on music. But one person who is not impressed? Liam Gallagher.
The outspoken Oasis frontman did not hold back his thoughts on the nomination, making it absolutely clear that he has zero interest in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He took to social media to let the world know exactly what he thought. In a blunt and classic Liam fashion, he posted, “RNR hall of fame is for WANKERS” along with a flyer listing all the 2025 nominees.
If that was not enough, when a fan asked what he would do if Oasis actually got inducted, Liam sarcastically responded, “Obv go and say it’s the best thing EVER.” It was another reminder that Liam does not take things too seriously and that he is not the type to change his stance just because of an award.
Liam’s History of Rock Hall Rejections
This is not the first time Liam has expressed his distaste for the Hall of Fame. When Oasis was nominated last year, he dismissed it completely, writing on social media, “F*** the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS LG.” He even went as far as telling fans not to waste their time voting, saying the entire thing was “a load of bollox.”
Even in a 2024 interview, Liam made it clear that he did not respect the Hall of Fame’s choices. He took a jab at the institution, questioning the inclusion of certain artists. “As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say: do me a favor and f*** off,” he told The Sunday Times. “It’s like putting me in the rap hall of fame, and I don’t want to be part of anything that mentally disturbed. Besides, I’ve done more for rock n’ roll than half of them clowns on that board.”
Despite his feelings, Oasis remains a top contender this year. Last time, they were considered a strong possibility for induction but did not make the final cut. This time, their odds are looking better thanks to one major event: their highly anticipated reunion tour.
The Oasis Reunion That Shook the Music World
For over a decade, fans had been hoping, begging, and even betting on an Oasis reunion. The band, led by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, had not performed together since their explosive split in 2009. Over the years, their relationship remained icy, with both brothers trading insults through interviews and social media.
But then something changed. In early 2025, Oasis shocked the world by announcing that they were reuniting. It was a moment fans had waited years for, and it instantly became one of the most talked-about events in music history.
Tickets sold out in minutes. The demand was so intense that some compared it to the frenzy surrounding Taylor Swift and Beyoncé’s tours. Fans who had given up hope of ever seeing Oasis live again were suddenly scrambling to get their hands on tickets.
The Ticketmaster Controversy
However, the excitement quickly turned to frustration for some fans when Ticketmaster started canceling thousands of resold tickets. Many had purchased tickets through resale platforms, only to receive emails stating that their tickets had been voided due to “bot activity.”
This led to outrage on social media, with fans demanding explanations. One Twitter user named Karen Kelly even reached out to Liam directly, asking, “Liam what do you think of the ticket situation? Thinking fans are bots and getting their money returned?”
Liam was not in the mood to offer sympathy. His response? “I don’t make the rules. We’re trying to do the right thing. It is what it is, I’m the singer. Get off my case.”
It was classic Liam—blunt, unapologetic, and not interested in getting involved in Ticketmaster drama. While some fans were upset, others saw it as just another example of Liam being Liam.
Will Liam Even Accept the Rock Hall Honor?
With the Oasis reunion bringing renewed attention to the band, their chances of being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame seem higher than ever. But the real question is: even if Oasis gets in, will Liam accept the honor?
Based on his past statements, it seems unlikely. He has repeatedly made it clear that he does not care about the Hall of Fame and does not respect the institution. But at the same time, Liam is unpredictable. His sarcastic response to a fan asking what he would do if Oasis got in suggests that he might play along just to have a laugh.
If Oasis is inducted, the moment could be legendary. Imagine Liam taking the stage, pretending to care for a brief second before launching into one of his signature rants. Would he use the moment to call out the Hall of Fame directly? Would he take the opportunity to roast other artists in attendance? Or would he simply say, “Cheers, I still think this is a load of bollocks,” and walk off?
One thing is for sure: if Oasis is inducted, it will be anything but a boring ceremony.
The Future of Oasis
Regardless of whether or not they get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Oasis is officially back. Their reunion tour is already one of the biggest events in recent music history, and there are even rumors of new music on the way. If that happens, it would be their first new material in over 15 years.
For fans, this is more exciting than any Hall of Fame induction. Seeing Liam and Noel back together, playing the songs that defined an era, is what truly matters. The Rock Hall might be a prestigious institution, but for Oasis, the legacy is already set in stone.
So, while some bands might see the Hall of Fame as the ultimate achievement, Oasis does not need it. They are already legends. And Liam? Well, he will keep doing what he does best—making headlines, stirring up controversy, and proving that rock and roll is about attitude, not awards.
