After what felt like an eternity, Oasis fans finally got the news they’ve been dreaming about since that fateful day in 2009 when the band announced its split. The Gallagher brothers are getting the band back together and hitting the road for a UK and Ireland tour in 2025, playing stadiums in Cardiff, London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin.

And, just last week, the band announced that it was taking its tour around the world with stops in cities including Toronto, Chicago, Boston, Mexico City, Tokyo, Sydney and Buenos Aires. While fans snapped up tickets for the UK shows in a matter of hours, one person’s excitement tops them all: Liam Gallagher’s son, Gene.

It appears that the 23-year-old indie rocker, who looks exactly like his 51-year-old dad did in his youth, will be opening for Oasis during their much-anticipated reunion tour with his band Villanelle. A source close to the Gallaghers broke the news to the Daily Mail, saying “Gene is supporting Oasis. He’s been telling a few people, and he’s really excited. He loves playing with his dad and knows it will be huge for his music career.”

According to the Daily Mail, that the Oasis reunion tour is happening at all is largely thanks to Gene, who played a crucial role in patching up his dad’s long-running feud with uncle Noel, 57. Working with his cousin Anaïs, 24 – daughter of Liam’s brother Noel Gallagher – Gene reportedly helped broker peace between the notoriously antagonistic brothers, and brought about a reunion fans never thought they’d see.
