Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher will reportedly be kept apart when not on stage in a ‘military style operation’ during their much-anticipated 2025 reunion tour.
The feuding siblings’ fractious relationship came to a head in 2009, after a backstage fight in Paris led to Noel, 57, leaving the iconic Britpop band and he and Liam, 52, have been embroiled in a very public feud ever since.
But despite managing to put their difference aside to get back on stage, there will be separate dressing rooms and transport to avoid a clash and resulting ‘PR and financial nightmare’.
A source told The Mirror: ‘They will not be in each other’s pockets and effectively be separate entities that come together for necessary promotional work and the gigs. Other than that they will be apart for much of this reunion.
‘Rehearsals will be the first time that they will be together for a significant amount of time working again. The atmosphere is sure to be electric, but also a little edgy.’

MailOnline have contacted Oasis’ reps for comment.
Liam previously said Noel’s now ex-wife Sara MacDonald drove a wedge between himself and his older brother and was to blame for the band being ‘no longer’.
Liam and Sara have long had very public rows – with Liam once labelling Sara a ‘dark’ person, and labelling her a ‘b****’ during furious late-night calls.
But Sara has often hit back – reportedly once dubbing him a ‘deplorable w*****’ and saying she hoped he’d ‘have dropped dead’ by a certain time.
He even hinted she was the reason that an Oasis reunion wouldn’t be happening, with Noel furious over Liam’s name-calling about Sara.
But after Noel’s £20million divorce from his ex-wife went through last year, the elder Gallagher is said to have been persuaded of the financial merits of getting the band back together.
Noel and Sara revealed their split in January 2023, after nearly 12 years of marriage.
In a statement released to MailOnline at the time, announcing their separation, they said that their two sons ‘remain their priority’.

Many Oasis fans have already been left empty-handed when the hotly-anticipated 17-date UK reunion tour sold out in a matter of hours in an online fiasco.
Around 14 million fans faced eight-hour queues in a bid to get their hands on the highly-sought-after tickets to see the rock band live, with many still missing out
While some managed to nab tickets, many were forced to splash out huge amounts on them after dynamic pricing saw costs soar to almost double the price in a matter of hours.
The Gallagher brothers then made tickets available for another two Wembley shows via a staggered invite-only ballot, but many fans were left disappointed after not being called up for the sale despite queuing for hours in the first sale.
Oasis shot to global stardom in the ’90s, with their 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe becoming the fastest-selling debut album in British history.
The following year (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? was released with smash hits Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova, with Wonderwall topping the ARIA Top 10 charts for 11 weeks in a row following its release.
During their 90s heyday, Oasis visited Australia in 1998 for the Be Here Now Tour after their chart-topping global success.
They delighted fans by returning Down Under for the 2001 Heathen Chemistry Tour, and again came back in late 2005 for the Don’t Believe the Truth Tour.
The band infamously called it quits after a backstage argument at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009.
