Oasis will enter the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 14, with Liam and Noel Gallagher expected to miss the Los Angeles ceremony. Noel is listed as a guest at Goldie’s London Jazz Festival show on the same evening. The induction covers eight musicians from across the band’s history and follows the brothers’ return to the stage together in 2025.
Oasis will be inducted at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on November 14. Liam and Noel Gallagher are expected to be absent, according to reporting ahead of the ceremony. For Noel there is a date on the other side of the Atlantic. He is on the bill for Goldie’s show at London’s Royal Festival Hall that evening, as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced the band’s selection in April. The ceremony is due to be recorded in Los Angeles and shown on television and streaming in December. Its timing places the honour after a year in which the Gallagher brothers have already returned to the stage together. The band’s schedule and the Hall’s ceremony are separate commitments, and November 14 puts Noel’s in London.
Goldie’s show brings together a live band, an orchestra and guest performers. The booking gives Noel Gallagher an appearance outside Oasis after the reunion tour put the brothers back in the same band for the first time in years. His name appears on the festival programme. For people following his work beyond the reunion, it is a concrete date among the projects that have drawn attention since those stadium shows.
Liam’s relationship with the Hall has been more public and more playful. When Oasis were nominated in 2024, he used social media to dismiss the institution and question the people making the decisions. His response to the later news that the band would be inducted was warmer in substance. He thanked the people who voted, with a few jokes about the name of the Hall mixed into the message.
In another post, he said his mother had advised him to go and behave himself. It was the kind of detail that made the prospect of him turning up part of the conversation, even though the post offered no clear commitment. Ahead of the November event, the latest reporting puts both brothers away from the ceremony. The Hall’s published class still includes the band.
The list of people being inducted under the Oasis name extends beyond the Gallaghers. The Hall has named Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Gem Archer, Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan, Andy Bell, Tony McCarroll and Alan White alongside them. Those musicians cover different periods of the band’s recording and touring history. Some returned for the recent tour, while others belong to earlier lineups that helped establish its sound.
That breadth gives the induction a wider frame than the brothers’ reunion. Definitely Maybe arrived in 1994, and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? followed the next year. The songs from those records went on to occupy different places in the band’s live history, from the early urgency of “Live Forever” to the singalongs that greeted “Wonderwall” and “Champagne Supernova.” Those records were made by a band whose personnel changed across its career.
The 2025 tour brought that catalogue back into stadiums. The reunion had been announced in 2024, 15 years after the split in 2009, and the first shows came the following year. For listeners who knew Oasis largely through the records or older concert footage, the dates provided a chance to hear the brothers perform the songs together. They also returned some of the band’s familiar players to a large stage.
Other inductees in the 2026 performer class include Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan. The Hall’s announcement covers all of them for the same Los Angeles ceremony, with the broadcast scheduled for December. The evening is set to encompass several distinct musical scenes and eras, of which the band’s Manchester beginnings are one.
How Oasis will be represented on the night remains a separate question. The absence of the Gallaghers has been reported ahead of the event, while there is no clear public account yet of which other members will attend or how the Hall will present the band’s induction. The official roster establishes who is receiving the honour. It leaves some of the details of the actual ceremony for the night itself.
For Noel, the public schedule already identifies the room in which he is due to appear on November 14. The Royal Festival Hall booking puts him in a programme built around Goldie, while in Los Angeles the Hall will recognise the band through which he first reached an international audience. Those two engagements, on the same date, explain why this year’s induction is taking shape without the reunion most people would have associated with it.
