According to Blossoms frontman Tom Ogden, Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anaïs allegedly “didn’t have a clue” that the Oasis reunion was happening in 2025.

The public news of the tour broke on August 27 of this year. Fans have been scrambling to get tickets to the long-awaited reunion ever since. According to Ogden, 24-year-old model Anaïs heard the news about the upcoming tour with the rest of the world that day.
During a chat on The A To X Of 2024 With Blossoms on Radio X recently, Ogden said that Anaïs was staying at him and his wife at their home when the news of the tour broke.
“Noel’s daughter Anaïs was staying at mine and [Ogden’s wife] Katie’s house when these new stories were breaking,” said Ogden. “And she actually didn’t have a clue. She was texting around people she knew to find out if it was true. She got no word.”
Ogden went on to say that Blossoms played a show at Wythenshawe the following day with Anaïs in attendance. At that time, she “still didn’t know” for sure if the tour was happening.
“I got a phone call a couple of hours before we went on stage, from our management, saying, ‘We need to show a video clip after your gig,’” said Ogden. “‘I can’t tell you what it is. But it’s very exciting.’”
Everyone put “two and two together” then, and the teaser for the Oasis reunion tour was released. Ogden jokingly said he would be “tapping Anaïs up” for tickets.
It’s not clear why Noel Gallagher’s daughter wasn’t tuned into the news from her father, but there’s a good chance the whole of the band wanted to keep the announcement completely under wraps until they were ready to announce it.
The Upcoming Oasis Reunion Could Be The Biggest Tour of 2025
Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher have been more or less estranged from each other since they broke up Oasis in 2009, following a tumultuous and toxic gig at Rock en Seine Fest in Paris, France. They were, honestly, the last band anyone would expect to get back together.
But back together they have gotten, and they will kick off their first concert (and whole tour) for the first time in 16 years on July 4 in Cardiff, England. Oasis will also tour across North America, South America, Australia, and Asia in 2025.
