Liam Gallagher has explained why he’s skipping Oasis’ Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, joking that he would rather stay home and deal with the dishwasher than fly to Los Angeles.
Oasis will be inducted at the Peacock Theater on Saturday, November 14th, but neither Gallagher brother will be there. Rolling Stone confirmed their absence earlier this week, and Liam has since been answering fans who wondered why he wasn’t making the trip.
Responding to a fan who missed seeing Oasis at the BRIT and Q awards, Liam complained that ceremonies had become boring and people were too sensitive. “I’d rather stay and stack the dishwasher,” he wrote, according to Contactmusic, before joking that he actually supervises the loading.
The trip itself is another sticking point: Liam said he would attend a UK ceremony, but felt Los Angeles was too far away.
That leaves the advice he shared from his Mum back in April unheeded. After previously criticising the institution, Liam said she had encouraged him to attend, behave himself and give the ceremony a chance.
Watch Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’
Noel already has a gig booked for the same night, with the Southbank Centre listing him among the guests for Goldie’s orchestral performance at London’s Royal Festival Hall on November 14th. Part of the EFG London Jazz Festival, the show also features anaiis and Natalie Williams.
The Hall’s official Oasis entry names eight inductees: Liam and Noel, Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, Gem Archer, Paul ‘Guigsy’ McGuigan, Andy Bell, Tony McCarroll and Alan White. Fellow 2026 inductees include Iron Maiden, Billy Idol and Joy Division/New Order.
The recognition comes after Oasis’ 2025 reunion brought the brothers back onstage together following their 2009 split. That run included five shows across Melbourne and Sydney. As previously reported, all 42 dates on their 2027 tour sold out, with shows across the UK, mainland Europe, the United States and Ireland scheduled between May and September.
The induction ceremony will be filmed on November 14th and shown on US network ABC and Disney+ in December, as per Hall’s announcement.
