Liam Gallagher has said Fontaines D.C. “are not good enough” to open for Oasis on their upcoming ‘Live ’27’ tour.
The Irish band launched their new album ‘Dopamine Chamber’ yesterday (October 16) and previewed it with at an intimate gig at London’s Roundhouse the night before (October 15).
Previously, Carlos O’Connell said they “couldn’t really give a shit” about the Oasis reunion in 2024 and Conor Deegan III added: “I’m not excited about it either, to be honest. 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.”
This prompted Gallagher to respond to a fan who asked if the band would be considered as an opening act for Oasis’ ‘Live ’25’ tour: “Fuck them little spunkbubbles I’ve seen better dressed ROADIES.”
“They look like a shit EMF,” he added in a separate tweet, as well as responding to another fan who forwarded a clip from the interview over. “State of em,” he wrote.
While Deegan and O’Connell weren’t too enthusiastic about the Britpop icons getting back together at the time, the band’s frontman Grian Chatten made it clear that he didn’t share the same stance.
Posting a comment on one of NME‘s Instagram posts at the time, the vocalist wrote: “I love Oasis. This is not my opinion”.
There not good enough they don’t have any tunes

Now, when a fan asked again why don’t Oasis book Fontaines to open up for them on their upcoming ‘Live ’27’ tour, Gallagher replied: “There not good enough they don’t have any tunes.”
Fontaines D.C. have yet to respond publicly to the Oasis frontman’s remarks. NME has contacted a spokesperson for the band for comment.
