In recent years, Liam, 51, has been keen to make amends with his brother and reform Oasis, but his older brother poured cold water on the idea.
But as Liam closed his set at Reading Festival he teased that an announcement could be made on Tuesday at 8:00am. A short clip of a sign in the style of Oasis logo was projected on a large screen above the stage and subsequently shared to Oasis and Liam’s official Instagram and X accounts.

A source told The Sun: ‘Noel and Liam are never going to be the best of friends but they want to bring Oasis back for the fans’.
‘Noel dug his heels in for a long time but has finally caved and agreed to return.
Before adding: ‘He spoke to Liam on the phone and they are on the same page. They know this reunion will go down in music history’.
MailOnline have contacted Noel and Liam’s reps for comment.
Oasis has been promised a payday of £50 million to reform and embark on a global tour.
After Noel’s £20m divorce from ex-wife Sara MacDonald last year, the elder Gallagher is said to have been persuaded of the financial merits of getting the band together for dates at Glastonbury and Wembley Stadium.
It is expected to be the most popular tour in British concert history, with industry insiders saying the deal negotiated between the brothers will net them £50 million.
During his headline slot at Reading on Sunday night, Liam, 51, performed a number of Oasis hits from their debut album Definitely Maybe to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
Introducing Half The World Away – a 1994 B-side that also featured as the theme tune to sitcom The Royle Family – he told revellers: ‘I wanna dedicate this song to Noel f**king Gallagher.’

Liam continued to keep fans guessing by dedicating his rendition of Cigarettes & Alcohol at the Reading Festival to people who hate Oasis.
The track, written by his older brother, was the final single on their 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe.
As he closed the set, Liam suggested an announcement could be made on Tuesday at 8:00am. A short clip of a sign in the style of Oasis logo was projected on a large screen above the stage and subsequently shared to Oasis and Liam’s official Instagram and X accounts.
The white rectangular box which a black block in the centre had the date “27.08.24” written in the middle where the band’s name is usually seen. It then flickered and changed to read “8am”.
Liam has been touring the UK this summer on his Definitely Maybe tour to celebrate the 30 years since its release in 1994.
Noel has been notably absent from the concerts, but during a show in Cardiff Liam made a point of dedicating Half The World Away to his ‘little brother’, saying he is ‘still playing hard to get’.
