Oasis fans have been reacting to the band’s Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame snub.
The Rock Hall today (April 28) took to social media following the latest episode of American Idol, where the inductees were first revealed, to share this year’s inductees, which include The White Stripes, Cyndi Lauper, OutKast and Soundgarden.
Also being honoured at this year’s ceremony are Bad Company, Thom Bell, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Nicky Hopkins, Carol Kaye, Salt-N-Pepa, Lenny Waronker and Warren Zevon.
Oasis were among the artists who were part of the longlist but ultimately did not make the cut, marking the second time they had been snubbed from induction. They join Mariah Carey, Phish – who won the fan vote but still won’t be inducted, Billy Idol, The Black Crowes and Joy Division/New Order in being missed.
Now, fans of the Britpop icons have been responding to the snub, with some suggesting it’s down to the band being more popular in the UK than the US, where the Rock Hall is based. “Isn’t the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, an American thing ? Oasis would then naturally be less known,” one wrote, while another added: “Typical, innit? Outkast’s good, but Oasis practically invented Britpop—missed a trick there.”
Some also suggested that the band wouldn’t care about their omission anyway, with one writing: “I think Noel is far more concerned about Man United to be honest.” Check out more reactions below.
No to outkast. Oasis before outkast for sure

Oasis doesn’t need the accolades.
They’re already legends in their own minds.
Never has a band been so self congratulatory for such mediocre output.

btw the rock n roll hall of fame just exists for people to complain about who's been excluded. literally no one knows or cares who's made it in there. Oasis might already be in there for all we know

Despite being snubbed for the second time, it doesn’t appear as though Oasis will really mind, as frontman Liam Gallagher reacted to the news of Oasis’ nomination this year saying: “RNR hall of fame is for WANKERS,” in a post on X/Twitter. One fan replied to his tweet and asked: “What are you gonna do if you win?,” with the ‘Wonderwall’ hitmaker saying: “Obv go and say it’s the best thing EVER”.
It echoes comments he made after being nominated for the first time in 2024: “Fuck the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS,” he wrote on X, going on to tell a fan who was planning on voting to not “waste your time”, adding that “as much as it’s appreciated it’s all a load of bollox”.
Another X user asked the artist at the time how he instead felt about his 2018 NME Godlike Genius Award, to which LG replied: “I mean cmon you can’t be turning things like that down.”
A few weeks after his remarks, Liam reshared his stance on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Speaking to The Sunday Times, the singer shared: “As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say: do me a favour and fuck off.
“It’s like putting me in the rap hall of fame, and I don’t want to be part of anything that mentally disturbed. Besides, I’ve done more for rock n’ roll than half of them clowns on that board, so it’s all a load of bollocks.”
In other Oasis news, the Gallagher brothers came together for some filming in a London pub earlier this week – reportedly being met with noise complaints from nearby residents.
Noel and Liam met in a pub to shoot footage for a promotional film for Oasis‘ forthcoming reunion tour, according to The Sun, with a source telling the tabloid: “Noel and Liam are still Shakermakers and they drove one of the neighbours mad with the noise. They took over the Mildmay to film a promo video for the tour and the din was huge.
Noel confirmed during an appearance on TalkSport on Friday morning (April 25) that he had seen Liam on Thursday, saying: “He’s great. I was with him yesterday actually. He’s alright, he was on tip-top form. He can’t wait – none of us can wait.”
It followed the brothers were snapped arriving at the working men’s Mildmay club in London’s Newington Green on Thursday (April 24) in what was reportedly a filming session for an upcoming Adidas campaign.
Oasis currently have 41 dates booked in for 2025 that will take them across multiple continents and will run through until November, with support to come from Cast, Richard Ashcroft, Cage The Elephant and Ball Park Music.
Last month, sources close to the band revealed to NME that the band’s line-up on the tour will include Noel, Liam, bassist Andy Bell, guitarists Gem Archer and Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and drummer Joey Waronker.
Original drummer Tony McCarroll is not involved in the comeback tour, and recently shared a message with the band and their fans, writing: “The circle has started again lads. A new generation ready to start a journey of listening. Actually, I’m a bit jealous of that blank canvas they’re about to start on.”
“Lads, the world is excited to see this, it’s all people are talking about. The time ‘feels’ right, I can’t wait to see how it all goes down,” he expressed. “Liam, Noel, Bone, Gem…. (I better stop there as I’m not sure who else) Good luck with everything, and don’t forget to stop and take it in! If the drummer fancies a stage partner for Supersonic at Heaton Park, give us a buzz ;)”
Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones also recently revealed to NME that Noel has been back writing new material in the studio. “I’m assuming he’s doing some writing for either his stuff or if they’re [Oasis] gonna bring out a couple songs, I don’t know,” he said.
