So how are things going behind the scenes of the Oasis reunion tour?

Whenever the subject of the Oasis reunion comes up, the first question is “Do you think Noel and Liam will make it through the entire thing without killing each other?” I’ve long maintained that the money is too great and the financial penalties for not finishing the tour are too punishing for them not to.

So far, they seem to be getting on, but it’s not as cozy backstage as one may have hoped. It’s not anything earthshattering, but according to the Popbitch newsletter there are some…accommodations.

  • Noel and Liam take separate vehicles to the gigs.
  • There are three tour managers: One for Noel, one of Liam, and one for the rest of the band.
  • There are two front-of-house audio people. One guy looks after the band while the other is only concerned with Liam’s vocals.
  • Meanwhile, ASDA, a grocery chain, now has Liam Gallagher lasagne.

Expect more stories as the tour continues.
