Ever since the moment Oasis split up back in 2009, it feels that barely a week has gone by without gossip of the Gallagher brothers patching things up and getting the band back together.
In the past few weeks, the rumour mill has been in full flow, with stories about the band planning four huge nights at Knebworth in 2025 and Noel Gallagher telling journalists that all his brother Liam needs to do is pick up the phone.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, Noel hinted on Radio X that he would "probably consider" an Oasis reunion in return for £8 million. It sounds like a pretty fair price for a group who would surely break the internet if they reformed.

Whether or not Oasis will reunite is uncertain, but if they did you can bet your bottom dollar they'd be booking at least one show in our city.
Glasgow, rather famously, is a city dear to the original incarnation of the Mancunian band as the place they were signed by Creation Records boss Alan McGee following an unbilled performance at King Tut's way back in May 1993.
Oasis would return to the city on a further 19 occasions, with main songwriter and lead guitarist Noel Gallagher stating in 2015 that Glasgow crowds were on a par with his native Manchester as the most raucous in the UK and the best outside of Argentina.
Here's hoping Oasis do reform and that their Glasgow return will be every bit as magic as these legendary gigs. 'Mon', boys, Bellahouston Park 2025 - let's do this.
King Tut's Wah Wah Hut - May 31, 1993
What can be said about this gig that hasn't already been uttered? The night Oasis played King Tut's was the very night they were discovered and signed by Creation Records mogul Alan McGee - and the band wasn't even meant to be on the bill.
The Manchester upstarts had basically blagged their way on to the support. They blasted out four songs, Bring It On Down, Up In The Sky, Rock And Roll Star and their incendiary cover of I Am The Walrus - enough to leave McGee "frothing at the mouth", as Noel later put it.
According to reports, there were just 69 people in the audience that evening - including one Japanese tourist who rather unbelievably caught the whole thing on film.
Oasis played two more times in Glasgow in 1993; one at Plaza on December 2 supporting Saint Etienne and another on December 10 at the Cathouse, supporting an up-and-coming band from Wigan called the Verve.
Tramway - April 7, 1994
Exactly one week and a year since their discovery at Glasgow’s King Tuts Oasis returned to Glasgow equipped with brand new songs and ready to embark on a tour which would span over 100 gigs.
Their second bow in Glasgow was hailed as a triumph, in the old tramway in Glasgow’s south side for a mini weeklong festival Sound City. They supported the Boo Radleys, but were the stars on the show and nearly blew the roof off with Supersonic.
The Cathouse - June 13, 1994
Although the Cathouse is more known for its grungy style of music, the old Cathouse on Brown Street was a very different venue in 94 - and Oasis fans packed in to see the band.
It was at this gig - the second of two nights at the venue - that a unique recording of I Am The Walrus was captured as used as a B side, and it’s arguably one the rawest and best live moments captured as Liam and Noel are heard arguing before Liam shouts, “ Because you're cool!”
Barrowlands - December 27, 1994
Oasis’s last show in Glasgow in '94 was in the majestic Barrowlands venue, bringing to an end a hectic year for the band in which they played more than 100 gigs across three continents.
The biggest gig they had played in Glasgow to date, 2,000 fans packed into the Barras and created an intense, memorable atmosphere, with Liam struggling to keep up as the band tore into 'Rock And Roll Star' as the Barras bounced in front of him.
Around the fourth song in, Liam walked off the stage due to severe exhaustion, with his voice completely done. In the heat of the moment, Noel decided enough is enough and bravely took to the stage for the first time ever with his acoustic guitar. It was from that moment on that acoustic sets became part and parcel of an Oasis gig.

Gig on the Green - August 26, 2000
Gently skipping over Oasis' infamous Be Here Now appearance at the SECC in 1997, which ended in a mini riot after just 50 minutes when a vodka bottle was thrown on stage, we find ourselves at Glasgow Green in the new millennium.
Before such a thing as TRNSMT was ever even thought up as a festival, Glasgow Green hosted a similar rock festival in 2000 and Oasis. as you might expect, were once again the stars of the show.
After four years away, the band returned to Glasgow to a massive 50,000 crowd for Gig on the Green.
And Oasis started the new millennium in a different shape with new members replacing the original line up, but Liam and Noel still stealing the limelight.
The gig was on the back of a more laid back sound on Standing on the Shoulders of Giants (released in February of that year), with tracks like 'Who Feels Love' and 'Go Let It Out' featuring in the set.
Barrowlands - October 13, 2001
Oasis returned to Glasgow barely a year later to celebrate their 10 years of being in a band together. This time there was to be no mishaps as Liam, Noel and company pulled off one of their greatest shows of the decade to an adoring crowd, while those of us at home watched on pay-per-view TV.
The gig was used for their DVD special: 10 Years of Noise and Confusion.
Braehead Arena - November 13, 2002
Just over a year after the Barras show, the band returned north of the border in support of fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry, performing two shows at Braehead Arena.
In between times, they'd headlined T In The Park in July of that year, so there was little doubt fans in the city were hyped for their return to Scotland.
Hampden Park - June 29, 2005
In June 2005, Oasis headlined Hampden Park as part of their Don't Believe The Truth summer stadium tour of the UK - and they did not disappoint.
Having been absent from touring on home soil for three years, the band whipped the national stadium up into a frenzy with a blistering set that included a selection of old favourites alongside their new material. Those who were there say it was the most bonkers gig they ever attended.
Later that same year, the band performed two nights at the SECC, with Liam Gallagher causing more than a little bit of division in the crowd after dedicating a song to footballer Roy Keane, who had just signed for Celtic. The tribute was met with a chorus of boos from Rangers fans in the crowd, with reports of plastic beer glasses being thrown.
SECC - November 5, 2008
The two dates of the 4th and 5th of November 2008 at the SECC were to be Oasis’s last gigs in the city.
On their tenth gig in Glasgow they brought their new forward-thinking sound present on seventh album Dig Out Yer Soul (and songs such as The Shock Of The Lightning) and were still very much on top form.
The Gallaghers gave Glasgow one final bow and for those of us who were there at least, we can say we were the lucky ones to have caught Oasis one last time in a city that had meant so much to them.
