Oasis are reportedly set to miss their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with neither Liam Gallagher nor Noel Gallagher expected to attend the ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday 14 November 2026.
According to Rolling Stone, the reunited Britpop band will not be represented by either of the Gallagher brothers at the event, which is taking place at the Peacock Theatre. The report also suggests Oasis will not perform during the ceremony.
Noel already has plans for the weekend, with the singer-songwriter scheduled to play his first solo show since the Oasis reunion at the EFG London Jazz Festival, performing at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
However, Rolling Stone reports that Liam will also be absent, meaning the band’s induction could take place without either of its most recognisable members.
Liam Gallagher previously criticised The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Liam was openly dismissive of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when the possibility of Oasis being inducted was raised in 2024.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, he said:
“As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say: do me a favor and f* off.”
He also questioned the organisation’s credibility, adding:
“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 and roll than half of them clowns on that board, so it’s all a load of b.”
His attitude appeared to soften after Oasis were announced as inductees earlier in 2026. In a post on X, Liam suggested his mother had encouraged him to reconsider his position and attend the event.
He wrote:
“Well I was speaking to my mummy last night when the news broke [about the induction] and she thinks I may have been a little hasty with my perception of the organisation she’s told me to stop being a d* and go to the awards and behave and you never know you might enjoy it.”
Despite that apparent change of heart, the latest report suggests he will not be making the trip to Los Angeles.
Which Oasis members are being inducted?
The induction recognises Oasis as a band, including members from different stages of their history.
Alongside Liam and Noel Gallagher, those being inducted include guitarists Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs and Gem Archer, bassists Paul ‘Guigsy’ McGuigan and Andy Bell, and drummers Tony McCarroll and Alan White.
Arthurs, Archer and Bell are all part of the current touring line-up, while McGuigan, McCarroll and White have not performed with the Gallagher brothers for many years.
Oasis are being inducted alongside Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan.
How will Oasis be honoured without the Gallaghers?
With neither Liam nor Noel reportedly planning to attend, questions remain over how the organisers will recognise Oasis during the ceremony.
Previous Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees who have missed their ceremonies include Sir Paul McCartney, David Bowie and Joni Mitchell.
The organisation has yet to reveal how Oasis’s induction will be presented if the band are absent.
