Liam and Noel Gallagher were already earning big, long before reuniting for their mammoth global tour this year.
The once-warring brothers sent fans into a tailspin after announcing they would be sharing the stage once again, 16 years after their infamous backstage bust-up in Paris caused the group to split.
And predictably, the Oasis Live ’25 world tour sold out immediately – despite tickets reaching staggering prices – with the Gallaghers previously expected to earn more than £50million each from tickets alone.
However, new documents filed for Oasis’ company reveal that Noel, 58, and Liam, 52, were already sitting pretty, taking in millions last year from their music publishing.
Their firm, Big Brother Recordings, reported earnings of £3.6million in the year ending December 31, 2024, meaning the pair were cashing in a whopping £69,000 a week last year.
Even before kicking off their tour last month in Cardiff, the company’s assets were already sitting at £10.2million.

But despite already boasting huge fortunes, Oasis’ earnings from 2024 are guaranteed to be dwarfed by the massive payday coming for the brothers this year.
The pair reportedly signed a so-called ‘guarantee versus percentage’ contract for each and every gig in the UK this summer, meaning they are guaranteed to pocket an estimated £3 million for each of the 30 stadium dates.
However if 90% of each show’s profits is more than £3 million – which it is very likely to be as ticket prices were so high – they will get that percentage figure instead, meaning they could easily bank £5 million for each show.
The ‘dynamic pricing’ model on Ticketmaster’s site meant that ticket prices surged, with the cost of a standard seat more than doubling from £148 to £355.
Experts previously estimated Liam and Noel would earn £150 million between them – £75 million each just from the ticket profits.
And that number has only gone up after Oasis extended their tour across the globe, with the band set to play 41 concerts in total this year, across the UK, Ireland, Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America.
The brothers will not only be cashing in from tickets, but are also predicted to earn ‘tens of millions’ from merchandising.
In April, it was alleged the Gallaghers had landed a multimillion merchandising deal for the rights to their image.

They were said to banked themselves a staggering £20million from Warner to allow for their likeness to be used on a wide range of merchandise for fans to buy at their shows.
And going one step further, Noel and Liam have allegedly taken legal protections to impede counterfeit sellers trying to flog knock-off merch and steal their profits.
According to The Sun, the two musicians filed documents at the Intellectual Property Office to trademark the now-famous black and white photo they used to announce their comeback.
While the reunion tour has had a knock-on effect in renewing interest in Oasis’ discography, with the group dominating the UK album charts.
As well as scoring three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company, hit tracks Live Forever, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall rose to the top of the single charts.
And their earnings don’t end there, as the duo are said to also be raking it in through food and drink sales during their run.
In June, Daily Mail revealed that the brothers had bagged themselves an ‘almost unprecedented’ deal to get up to a 30 per cent cut of profits from some venues.
One promoter said: ‘Most bands negotiate a cut, but Oasis have gone in very heavy. Every beer, glass of wine, snack, T-shirt and poster sold – you name it – they’ll get a chunky slice.

‘They knew they were in an extraordinary negotiating position to get this deal finally agreed.’
On average, a pint of beer in the various venues across the UK and Ireland will likely cost around £8, especially at large stadiums including Wembley Stadium and Manchester’s Heaton Park.
With Noel and Liam reportedly taking up to 50 per cent of the sale of pints and snacks, that would mean they would pocket £4 from every drink.
While fans have seen the cost of drinks increase as much as the tickets, with bottles of champagne doubling in price at the group’s gigs at Wembley last month.
Two bottles of Laurent-Perrie champagne, that would usually cost between £40 and £50 each – were being sold for £169 at the arena.
Also set to boost the brothers’ coffers is a branded Oasis clothing range with Adidas – with T-shirts priced at £55, sweaters at £70 and a jacket at £100.
While their earning potential may only increase, following reports the tour may lead even bigger things for the band after being inundated with big money offers to play major festivals next year.

With the hype around the Brit pop band greater than ever The Sun reported last month that their teams are receiving requests for Liam and Noel to play big shows all over the globe including Coachella and Benicassim.
An insider told the publication: ‘If fans thought Oasis were busy, they should see the offers their teams are fielding behind the scenes.
‘None of the bids are being accepted at the moment. They’re just being stacked up to be discussed at a later date. The focus for Oasis is this tour, and so far it’s been a phenomenal success.’
They added: ‘Any decisions about future performances are a long way off — but some of them look incredibly tempting.’
