Oasis fans were keen to note Liam Gallagher’s performance over the last few shows of the Live ’25 tour, with many suggesting one thing was different to previous tours
A major difference on the current Oasis tour has fans of the band talking about an improvement Liam Gallagher has made. The legendary frontman is touring with brother Noel Gallagher for the first time in 16 years, with delighted gig-goers saying there is one major change to note about Liam.
His performances in Cardiff and Manchester have been praised by fans of the group, who say he sounds far better than they thought. The reason behind this has been speculated on by fans, who believe the 52-year-old is taking better care of his vocal cords for this sold-out tour. Oasis Live ’25 saw the band play five home shows at Heaton Park, with the last wrapping earlier this week.
A post to the r/Oasis Reddit page reads: “Does anyone else think Liam is sounding better as the tour rolls on, not worse like so many said would happen?” The fan went on to suggest Gallagher is taking “much better care” of his voice.
“Not that I was expecting any different, he takes much better care of his voice nowadays since being properly diagnosed with his Hashimoto’s disease [an autoimmune condition affecting the thyroid gland], but I assumed his voice would just stay consistent, not get miles better.
“People are saying tonight (July 20) was the best gig so far for Liam and I can see why. So much for the ones who said he would sound like s**t within a few gigs.”
Gallagher confirmed in 2022 he had been diagnosed with the autoimmune disease, but fans say he is sounding better and better on the recent Oasis tours.
One fan wrote: “The benefit of mostly doing the same set is it should get better each night. Liam looks fitter and healthier so that helps with singing. He’s also got that break where Noel songs four songs by himself, so he can have two halves.”
Another added: “Well they are seven shows in. If his voice was going already it would be time to pack it in for good.” A third shared: “I’m sure he will keep it up, but it is still basically the start of the tour.”
Other fans have praised the smart booking of the sold-out shows, saying the dates in-between give Gallagher time to rest.
One fan suggested: “His voice is totally different, as it should be, if people can’t really tell the difference that up to them, seven gigs in spread over 16 days, the management team no the problem and they are doing a great job, hope every enjoys the shows, I did.
“They have managed his voice by spreading the dates out, it’s not like an old Oasis tour from years back, night after night, they have spaced the tour very well and it’s working well I think.”
Noel Gallagher, 58, has received just as much praise from gig-goers, who say his confidence on guitar is “better and better” with every show.
A fan pointed out that Noel’s musical skills appear to be sharpening with every show. “Noel’s guitar playing is getting better every night,” the fan said.
