Oasis was elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2026, and at first, the Gallagher brothers seemed content with that. This happened after many years of the brothers saying they didn't care about the museum.
There was even a hint that they would appear at the induction ceremony, but if you were planning on going to that in hopes of seeing Oasis play, you won't like the next bit: the band won't be attending.
Noel Gallagher has already scheduled a solo show for this weekend, which is when the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held. The show begins at 7 pm ET on Saturday, November 14, and will be held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California.
Oasis decides not to appear at the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony
The Gallagher lads still live in the UK, so making a trip to the American West Coast is a hike for a ceremony they don't really care about. Liam posted on social media that he would rather "stack the dishwasher" than be in LA.
There was also some mention of sticking around home for the holiday season, though there is more than a month before Christmas. The obvious bottom line is that Oasis doesn't want to be involved with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and that is their right.
Fellow 2026 inductees, Iron Maiden, also won't appear in Los Angeles. They had previously announced that and have a very good reason. The band is currently doing a tour in Australia, and flying to LA and back simply doesn't make logistical sense. It is better to entertain the fans who have bought tickets to the show than corporate bigwigs at the Rock Hall gig.
Iron Maiden and Oasis aren't the first musical artists to skip the ceremony, and far from it. Paul McCartney, David Bowie, and Joni Mitchell also chose to not appear at their respective inductions. Other musicians played songs from those artists, and the same will likely occur with Oasis and Maiden.
Most of the rest of the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class is expected to be at the show. The list includes Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, and Wu-Tang Clan. Collins will not perform at the event. Luther Vandross was also elected in 2026, but he died in 2005 and sadly won't be able to appear.
