EXCLUSIVE: Oasis 'Bury Drummer Feud' for Hall of Fame Reunion Night
Oasis are planning to bury their alleged drummer feud for a Hall of Fame reunion night.
Aug. 7 2026, Published 5:30 a.m. ET
Oasis are set to draw a line under one of their most enduring internal rows, with brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher said to be inviting every key member of the band's classic line‑up – including estranged drummer Tony McCarroll – to join them for their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in Los Angeles this November.
RadarOnline.com can reveal the Manchester rockers – whose fans include Tom Cruise and who ended their long split and rift ahead of last summer's hugely successful Live '25 reunion tour – are part of the Hall of Fame's 2026 performer class.
Hall Of Fame Reunion Plans
Oasis earned an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Sources said they are now expected to mark their induction with a gathering of the musicians who helped define Oasis in the 1990s.
According to insiders, Noel, 59, and Liam, 53, want the occasion to include former bandmates Gem Archer, Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Andy Bell, Paul McGuigan, Alan White – and founding drummer McCarroll, whose departure and subsequent legal battle cast a long shadow over the band's early years.
Oasis are gearing up to be inducted alongside Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Billy Idol, Sade and Wu‑Tang Clan, with Sir Paul McCartney reportedly lined up to introduce the band during the ceremony.
The Hall of Fame's recognition caps a remarkable comeback for Noel and Liam, whose reunion for Live '25 saw them share a stage for the first time since Oasis split in 2009, selling more than two million tickets worldwide and reasserting their catalogue – Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova, Live Forever and Supersonic – as the defining soundtrack of the Britpop era.
Tony McCarroll Gets Invited
The group invited former drummer Tony McCarroll to join them.
McCarroll's apparent invitation is particularly significant given his long‑running dispute with Noel.
The drummer has previously claimed he was dismissed from Oasis after standing up to Noel during a hotel confrontation in 1995, later suing the band over royalties.
Now, sources suggest both Gallagher brothers were determined that every former member should be recognized as part of the group's history and have a role at the Hall of Fame event.
An insider involved in the Oasis reunion said: "From the very start of these Hall of Fame talks, Noel and Liam were clear that this couldn't just be about the two of them turning up for a trophy.
"They want the room to feel like a snapshot of the band's entire history – every musician who helped build that wall of sound in the 1990s, not just the current touring line‑up.
"That meant picking up the phone to Tony and saying, 'Look, we all know the past was messy, but for this one night can we put that to one side and stand in the same place again?'
"He's been asked directly, and the response has been positive, which shows you how much weight this moment carries for everyone involved."
Peace Gesture For The Band
Noel and Liam reached out to mend their relationship with McCarroll.
The insider continued: "For a long time, Tony has existed on the edge of the Oasis story – fans know he played on those early records, but the official narrative moved on without him.
"Flying him out to Los Angeles isn't just a logistical decision, it's a quiet acknowledgment that those first singles and Definitely Maybe don't happen without his drumming.
"People around the camp see it as a peace gesture – it doesn't erase the arguments, the legal battles or the hurt, but it does say that the feud doesn't have to be the final chapter.
"In their own way, the Gallaghers are admitting that the foundation of Oasis was laid by more than just two brothers, and this induction is their chance to show that on stage."

The rock band planned to announce additional concert dates in September.
A music industry source added: "If you step back and look at what's being talked about here, it's extraordinary.
"You're potentially going to have Noel and Liam, the original rhythm section, the guitarists – the whole 1990s backbone of Oasis – standing shoulder to shoulder again. Even if all they do on the night is walk out together and accept those plaques, that visual alone is seismic for fans who never thought they'd see it.
"There's a lot of quiet optimism that they might go further and play, but at this stage nothing is guaranteed. If they do decide to plug in and run through even one song, it will instantly become one of those Hall of Fame moments people talk about for years – the kind of footage that gets replayed every time anyone tells the story of Britpop.
"From the organizers' side, the brief was always to create a genuine reunion rather than just showcase the current touring line‑up. The brothers agreeing to fold Tony back into the picture, even for one night in Los Angeles, has gone down incredibly well behind the scenes. For them, it ticks every box: a band that survived bitter fall‑outs, comes back together, and makes space for the drummer who long felt pushed out of the legend. As narratives go, it's close to perfect."
The plans for November come amid continuing momentum around Oasis's comeback.
Their Live '25 tour has been one of the biggest concert events of recent years, and The Sun reports the group is expected to announce additional live dates in September, extending the reunion into 2027.
