Liam Gallagher Blasts Fontaines D.C.: ‘F-ck Them Little Spunkbubbles’
There are many burning questions about the Oasis reunion tour that have yet to be answered. We still don’t know if they’re going to release any new music, who will play bass, guitars, and drums alongside Liam and Noel Gallagher, if the tour is coming to North America and the rest of the world outside England and Ireland, and how long it will last before the whole thing inevitably implodes.
One thing we do know for sure as of today is that Fontaines DC will not play any role in it due to a war of words that has erupted between the two camps. It started when Fontaines D.C. members Carlos O’Connell and Conor Deegan III were asked about the Oasis tour on the. Dutch radio show Studio Brussel. “I couldn’t really give a shit,” says O’Connell, “to be honest.”

Deegan felt the same way. “I’m not excited about it either, to be honest,” he said. “I feel like we get caught in the last era – like the ’10s – and into such a nostalgic thing that we’re forgetting to make new things. I feel like what we were wanting to do with this record [Romance] anyway was to look into the future and make new things… So for Oasis to reform at this moment for us is really annoying.”
When Liam Gallagher caught wind of the comments, he blasted the band on Twitter. “Fuck them little spunkbubbles,” he wrote. “I’ve seen better dressed ROADIES. They look like a shit EMF.” (For those of you not around in 1990, EMF are a British alt-rock band that scored a massive hit with “Unbelievable” and then vanished.)
The Oasis reunion tour kicks off July 4, 2025, at Principality Stadium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. All nineteen shows they’ve put on sale in the UK and Ireland sold out within seconds. The demand for tickets is unlike anything the industry has seen in recent memory, with the very large exception of Taylor Swift’s ongoing Eras tour. The group has been completely inactive since 2009, and they announced a reunion in August after fifteen straight years of saying such a thing would never, ever happen.
