Oasis Will Not Attend Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction

Oasis will not be attending this week's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

The English rock group, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, were named among the 2026 inductees in April by officials from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, earning a place in the performer category.

However, Rolling Stone reported on Monday that Oasis, who reunited for a major international tour last year, will not "accept the award or perform" at Saturday's ceremony at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

Noel is instead expected to attend Goldie's EFG Jazz Festival performance in London, which is taking place on the same day.

Liam addressed the decision through a series of posts on X on Tuesday morning, responding to several fans. He wrote, "It's too far to be going for the night I got s**t to do it's Christmas," before adding, "I dont like award ceremonies they freak me out I dont know why I just get weird vibes (sic)."

He also explained, "If it was in the UK I'd be there but for some reason it's in LA and that's miles away."

Responding to another follower, Liam further claimed that he had "never said" the band would be attending the event.

Former and current Oasis members Gem Archer, Paul Arthurs, Andy Bell, Tony McCarroll, Paul McGuigan and Alan White are also included in the induction. However, it remains unknown whether any of them will attend the ceremony.

Liam previously criticised the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame after Oasis received their first nomination in 2024. However, his attitude towards the institution appeared to soften following this year's announcement, as he shared a more appreciative message on X.

"Reverse psychology vibes in the area Oasis RnR hall of farmers I mean famers," he initially wrote, seemingly referencing his earlier comments about the band's previous two nominations. He later added, "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 (sic)."

Other musicians being honoured at this weekend's ceremony include Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, the late Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan.

Under the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's eligibility rules, artists and bands must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years before the year in which they receive a nomination.
