Liam Gallagher has taken another swipe at Dublin band Fontaines D.C., claiming they are “not good enough” to support Oasis on their upcoming world tour.<\/p>\n

The singer made the comments in response to a fan on X who asked why Fontaines D.C. had not been booked to open for Oasis on their Live ’27 tour.<\/p>\n

“There not good enough they don\u2019t have any tunes,” Gallagher replied.<\/p>\n

His remarks came after Fontaines D.C. released their fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber<\/a>, on Friday, 16 October.<\/p>\n

It is not the first time Gallagher has criticised the Irish band.<\/p>\n

In September 2024, guitarist Carlos O’Connell and bassist Conor Deegan III expressed little enthusiasm for the Oasis reunion.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Belgian broadcaster Studio Brussel, O\u2019Connell said he “couldn\u2019t really give a s***” about the comeback, while Deegan questioned the focus on nostalgia rather than creating new music.<\/p>\n

Deegan said: “I feel like we get caught in the last era \u2013 like the ’10s \u2013 and into such a nostalgic thing that we\u2019re forgetting to make new things.”<\/p>\n

Gallagher responded at the time by mocking the band\u2019s appearance on social media, saying he had “seen better dressed ROADIES”.<\/p>\n

However, Fontaines D.C. frontman Grian Chatten subsequently distanced himself from his bandmates\u2019 comments.<\/p>\n

“I love Oasis. This is not my opinion,” he wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Both bands are set to headline Slane Castle in Co Meath next year.<\/p>\n

Fontaines D.C. will play the venue on 26 and 27 June, while Oasis will perform there on 4 and 5 September as part of their sold-out Live \u201927 tour.<\/p>\n
