Noel Gallagher: Glastonbury Can't Afford An Oasis Reunion

Noel Gallagher says Oasis won't reunite for Glastonbury because festival organisers Michael and Emily Eavis can't afford the phenomenal sum it would take for him to rejoin brother Liam on stage.

Noel Gallagher says he won't reform Oasis to headline Glastonbury because the festival doesn't "pay enough".

The rock icon says there's no chance he will reform his defunct band to play at the world famous music festival again because organisers Michael and Emily Eavis can't afford the huge sum it would take for him to reunite with his estranged brother Liam Gallagher.

Speaking at the premiere of Bradley Cooper's new film 'Burnt' in London on Wednesday night (28.10.15), he said: "I don't know where the rumours keep coming from about Glastonbury. Would we ever do it? They don't have enough money I'm afraid. That's the bottom line, they just don't pay enough. I've done it a few times, I know what they pay and it's not enough."

Oasis have played Glastonbury on three occasions, stealing the show on their debut appearance in 1994 before going on to headline the next year in 1995 and then again in 2004.

Liam has since opened the festival as a surprise act with his last group Beady Eye in 2013.

Although he doesn't want to reunite Oasis for Glastonbury, Noel is keen to perform at the festival in Somerset, South West England, again as a solo act with his band The High Flying Birds.

The 'Lock All The Doors' singer previously said: "If I was asked, yeah. I'll headline the spoken word tent, anything. If you're listening Michael Eavis, I'll do it."

Noel Gallagher Rules Out Oasis Glasto Re-Union

Noel Gallagher says there is more chance of him and his ex-wife Meg Matthews getting back together than Oasis reforming to play Glastonbury this summer.

Andy Goldstein of talkSPORT had speculated on the chances of a reunion yesterday, tweeting: "I just text Noel asking about the chance of reforming . . . his reply "There's more chance of me and my ex-wife getting back together" So no."

Official denial also came from Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis who also ruled out an Oasis appearance at Worthy Farm. A fan had asked Eavis to "Please deny that Oasis are playing Glastonbury before tomorrow's ticket resale" to which Eavis replied, "Oasis aren't playing this year."

Liam Gallagher had sent fans into a frenzy of speculation this week with a series of cryptic tweets about his old band, which seemed to suggest they were reforming to play Glastonbury.

Emily Eavis: Oasis Not Playing Glastonbury

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has tweeted to confirm that Oasis are not playing Glastonbury this year.

Bookies had suspended bets on the band playing after Liam Gallagher sent a cryptic series of tweets, using letters to spell out the name of his former band.

This year's Saturday headliner still hasn't been announced.

It's 20 years since the release of Oasis' debut album Definitely Maybe.

Eavis confirmed the band wouldn't be appearing in a simple tweet, responding to someone asking her directly.

Gallagher's tweet could have been linked to the fact he was pictured this week with Oasis band mate Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs.

The pair apparently had a drink together, with Bonehead tweeting the word 'pub' in a similar style to Liam's message.

Arcade Fire and Kasabian are the headliners for the Friday and Sunday nights of the festival, held in Somerset at the end of June.

The Black Keys, Dolly Parton and Lily Allen are some of the other acts performing over the weekend.
