OASIS fans recalling the group’s final performance at V Festival in 2009 said they have been waiting their “whole life” for the band’s reunion.

At 8am on Tuesday, the social media accounts for Oasis revealed Liam and Noel Gallagher will reunite with a worldwide tour in 2025.

The last time the British rock band performed was on August 22, 2009, at V Festival in Staffordshire.

Simon Pearce, of Widnes, was one of the lucky people who got to see Oasis perform at V Festival.

The 40-year-old said although the band’s set was not as memorable as previous Oasis gigs he had gone to, a standout moment was when they ended their performance with The Beatles’ classic I Am The Walrus.

“They had not brought that song out since the earlier days, so that was sort of memorable, but Noel and Liam seemed to be going through the motions a little bit,” the transport planner said.

“But it was a bit of a bragging right to be able to say I went to their last ever gig – it felt really special.”

When it was announced the group had split just days after V Festival, he said he went to ‘drown my sorrows’ in various pubs and listened to Oasis songs on loop.

“I started listening to them from 11 and it just sort of became an obsession from then onwards. The band then became part of my adulthood and I went to their different gigs,” he said.

“I am a working class lad – I am born and raised on a council estate in the 90s – and they just gave something to people to believe in and made it cool for kids on council estates to pick up a guitar.”

He said while he has his reservations about if the brothers will perform as well as they did in their prime, he is ‘buzzing’ about the reunion.

“I cannot wait to get tickets on Saturday,” he added.

Oasis were supposed to take to the stage for the festival’s Chelmsford leg of V Festival the following day, on August 23, 2009, too.

But the Sunday slot did not happen, much to the dismay of fans, including ‘gutted’ then-19-year-old Chris Berrow.

The now-34-year-old, who lives in Epping, Essex, became a fan of the band ‘really quickly’ after buying their Stop The Clocks CD, and so decided to see them at V Festival in Chelmsford.

“We got there, and we waited and waited, and there was this rumour going around that they weren’t going to play and we didn’t know what was happening,” the guitar teacher and presenter told the PA news agency.

“There was this announcement that Oasis weren’t going to play, and that Snow Patrol were going to step up and cover their slot.”

He said when it was announced that Liam and Noel were reuniting for a tour, he was ‘very excited’.

“I have already signed up for the link to download tickets, and I am just hoping that I can get one on Saturday.”

He said getting to see Oasis in person after over a decade of waiting will ‘massively be unfinished business’ for him.

“In the time in between I became a professional guitar teacher, so I am teaching kids how to play Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova – and I haven’t actually seen them together ever,” he said.

“I am not somebody to cry very readily, but I think that could happen as I would be able to complete something I have been meaning to for what feels like my whole life.”
