Oasis at Wembley Stadium in London: The duo hints at possible 2026 performances during their victorious second-to-last UK concert.

      Even the most dedicated fans likely couldn't have imagined how spectacularly Oasis' eagerly anticipated, frequently speculated reunion shows would unfold. When the announcement came in August last year, global excitement was accompanied by waves of skepticism: Would the Gallagher brothers stay united? Would it feel genuine? Were they in it for the money (yes) or did they truly want to reform the band? (Fortunately, it appears to be both). Since their return to the stage in Cardiff on July 4th, appearing side by side as a clear indication of their collective intent, Oasis has made no missteps. Liam has approached this desired second tour with the focus of an athlete, touring completely sober to maintain his condition, while Noel has looked increasingly joyful with each performance. The crowds have been, to use the frontman’s preferred terminology, biblical: an extraordinary energy that feels nearly impossible for any band or moment to replicate. The days of rowdy fans throwing pints of who-knows-what are behind us; if one could bottle the immense joy and camaraderie experienced in these stadiums, it might be marketed as a premium, energizing elixir.

      Now, as the band returns to Wembley for two final UK shows to conclude a memorable summer, they have nothing to prove but – as it appears – something to hint at. "'Champagne Supernova’. See you next year,” Liam declares just before the final moments of their triumphant encore. The rumor mill, it seems, will remain busy for a while longer.

      It's entirely believable that Oasis may want to embark on another victory tour in 2026. This initial set of dates might have been motivated by financial gain, yet it feels apparent that they are genuinely enjoying themselves. As the screens roll with the opening press montage, building energy through a flurry of news clipping rumors before revealing the grand statement – "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over" – it’s a rare case where such an exaggerated phrase truly resonates. And for the 80,000 attendees who have waited 15 years since the band's breakup in 2009, they are ready to channel every moment lost into the next two hours completely.

      There's no necessity for us to explain the greatness of Oasis' back catalog or how incredible this setlist is. This lean, energetic sweep through one of the most significant repertoires of all time features songs that are so deeply woven into British culture that it's hard to believe the actual individuals who wrote them were the ones performing. If any street performer tried to cover 'Don’t Look Back In Anger’, ‘Wonderwall’, and ‘Champagne Supernova’, you'd likely roll your eyes; the sheer number of hits on display is astonishing.

      The show opens with the occasion-recognizing ‘Hello’ (“It’s good to be back”) and maintains that momentum throughout. ‘Morning Glory’; ‘Some Might Say’; ‘Cigarettes and Alcohol’; ‘Roll With It’. By the time they’ve played even ten songs, they've already eclipsed any other setlist. Importantly, there's no hint of self-indulgence or attempts to rewrite their past. Apart from the ‘Heathen Chemistry’ track ‘Little By Little’, the night is a relentless showcase of their peak era, largely sidestepping their later missteps in favor of one hit after another.

      Three months into the comeback, everything remains flawless, with no sign of enthusiasm waning from either side. Oasis could likely have added ten more Wembley Stadium dates and sold them out again. Back then, such an idea may have seemed precarious. Now, it's hard to picture them stepping away.

Tai Lopez/YouTube The latest updates and reviews on cars, without any nonsense. Our complimentary daily newsletter delivers the important stories straight to your inbox every weekday. It might sound crazy to those who weren't on YouTube ten years ago, but this bespectacled figure, his Lamborghini, and his bookcase were absolutely everywhere around 2015. The “here in my garage” guy was a pre-roll advertisement on seemingly every YouTube video for a stretch of time, and he was referenced and parodied all over the internet. He made headlines again this week—and the news isn’t good. Tai Lopez, the man in the video who claimed to be more proud of his books than his Gallardo, is (or was?) a financial advice YouTuber. His channel still boasts a considerable following (2.49 million subscribers as of now), but his recent videos have garnered relatively few views. He is certainly still active; he uploaded a new video just last week. This topic is a bit outside our usual discussions on The Drive, but the first 15 seconds of that video were so ubiquitous that it feels like it has become (albeit in a peculiar way) a part of car culture, and I must admit I'm curious about the trouble the Here In My Garage guy has found himself in. Last Friday, the US Securities and Exchange Commission charged “Taino Lopez and Alexander Mehr, co-founders of Retail Ecommerce Ventures LLC (‘REV’), and its Chief Operating Officer, Maya Burkenroad (collectively, ‘Defendants’), with carrying out a series of fraudulent securities offerings, misusing investor funds, and making Ponzi-like payments to investors.” According to CBS, “Through their holding company, Mehr and Lopez bought struggling brick-and-mortar businesses to convert them into successful online-only brands. Dress Barn and Linens ‘n Things were among their acquisitions.” At least, that was the public-facing side of the operation. If you're interested, you can look at the official SEC complaint filed in a Florida court. But to summarize, the SEC alleges that Lopez and his associates “raised around $112 million from hundreds of investors through fraudulent offerings,” shuffled money between investors to deceive them into believing they were receiving dividends, and “misappropriated about $16.1 million in investor funds for Lopez’s and Mehr’s personal expenses.” So was Lopez lying about valuing “knowledge” over “material possessions” all this time? Honestly, if we can’t trust boastful guys on YouTube, I’m not sure what to believe anymore. Lopez and Mehr are now facing charges for “violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 therein.” Next, the courts will determine what the future holds for them. Here’s the video that haunted everyone's feeds for months about a decade ago: And if you want to reminisce—or didn’t believe me when I mentioned its fame and the parodies it inspired—here are a few reactions it prompted. They might not all seem as funny in 2025, but: Have a news tip? Reach out to us at [email protected]!
