For their part, the Gallagher brothers added: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”

According to the press release, plans are underway for the band to also tour outside of Europe next year.

On Sunday, the Gallaghers seemingly confirmed that Oasis would reunite after they both posted a cryptic clip on their respective X (formerly Twitter) accounts that displayed the date, “27.08.24.” The band’s official website also showed the same date on its main page, suggesting that an Oasis-related announcement would happen Tuesday.

That was not the only hint of a reunion: Over the weekend, Liam Gallagher  responded to multiple fan inquiries and comments on X as reports about Oasis performing next year in the U.K. circulated online.

When one user complained about Oasis playing Heaton Park in Manchester, calling it a “terrible venue,” Liam Gallagher replied : “See you down the front you big fanny.”

The singer also wrote on X Sunday morning, “I never did like that word FORMER.”

In June, Liam Gallagher kicked off a tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of Oasis ‘ debut studio album “Definitely Maybe.” A new reissue of the album will be released on Friday.

The War On Drugs at 3Arena, Dublin

Article Published: April 18, 2022

The War On Drugs at 3Arena Dublin – April 14th 2022

The War on Drugs brought their ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’ tour to the 3Arena last week – a gig that promised much, and delivered that and so much more.

There is a keen sense of anticipation as the venue gradually begins to fill, and the early birds that eagerly make it to the venue are rewarded with an impressive performance from support band Lo Moon . The Los Angeles based group grab the attention immediately with Carried Away the opening track from their new album ‘A Modern Life’ – their sound is extremely polished, but also hugely engaging.

Matt Lowell is highly assured frontman, with definite Lindsay Buckingham vibes to him and even the stage invasion of a fly mid-song doesn’t derail him, and he is quick to make a gentle quip about Bono.

On the evidence of tonight’s set ‘A Modern Life’ is an album well worth checking out, with the band delivering a set packed full of delightful licks, ’80s synths and effects, with a rhythm section that is wonderfully eclectic in the very best way, especially on Expectations and The Dream Never Dies . Their set is brought to a glorious conclusion with their very first single Loveless , and the promise to come back and tour Ireland.

It’s then time for The War on Drugs and it’s as if the audience and band alike have been yearning for an occasion such as this, with the opening heart-aching piano line and lonesome twang of guitar from Old Skin greeted with a rapturous response.

Following the opening number it’s clear that the Philadelphia rockers’ frontman Adam Granduciel is almost giddy at the opportunity as he says “to play a proper gig in Dublin after all these years” . He stands bestride his extensive peddle board which at times looks like a space glider given the dazzling stage lighting (more of that anon), which is used to powerful effect as he let’s rip on Pain .

Given that The War on Drugs produce the music of a million heartbreaks it’s amazing how uplifting their songs are, which is only amplified by their live performance. The band are sonically majestic, with a vim and vigour that infects each other and the crowd, the E-Street band at their best springs to mind with Granduciel conducting them with his elongated power chords and riffs – at times it’s feral, at others almost orchestral, but always compelling. Early highlights include An Ocean in Between the Waves  with it’s rolling drum intro, and the elegant I Don’t Wanna Wait .

And whilst the sound of The War on Drugs doesn’t need a showy stage show, that is exactly what we get with an epic lighting design that never settles on any standard patterns – there’s superb use of shadow as the atmosphere builds, before exploding into an electric ballroom palette of blues, greens and pinks, later there’s an almost endless stunning shimmering shower of colour, curtains of white light, and even mystic rainbows of mist – it’s absolutely breathtaking, and serves to heighten the proceedings.

The main set climaxes with the outstanding double-whammy of Under Pressure and I Don’t Live Here Anymore , the former is an exceptional track and magnificently delights and undulates from it’s intriguing intro to the humming reverb buzz of the outro. Returning for a three song encore pushes the set well over the 2 hour mark, and breaking into a sublime cover version of The Waterboy’s classic – A Pagan Place  seals the final appreciative endorsement from a packed 3Arena on a stellar night.

There may be a perception amongst some that The War on Drugs are pervaders of run-of-the-mill “dad-rock” but for anyone that sees them on this tour that notion will be utterly blown away.

Back in September, The War On Drugs shared two previously-unreleased songs – ‘Oceans Of Darkness’ and ‘Slow Ghost’ – as part of an extended deluxe edition of ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’.

The War On Drugs are an American Indie rock band, who formed in 2005. They originate from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

The War on Drugs was formed by musicians Kurt Vile and Adam Granduciel after they had both moved from Oakland and back to Philadelphia. Both had similar interests and had especially connected through their appreciation of Bob Dylan. This led to the two, recording, writing and even performing together. Through this instant connection and chemistry, The War on Drugs was born.

Early in the career of the band they had many accompanying musicians but none were official members, Vile and Granduciel then decided to settle official members of the band. These members included: Charlie Hall as the Drummer/Organist, Kyle Lloyd as drummer and Dave Hartley would be the bass player of the band.

In 2008 The War On Drugs gave away their EP 'Barrel of Batteries' for free.

After the release of their debut album 'Wagonwheel Blues' and the European tour which followed,founding member of the band Kurt Vile, had decided to leave so that he could focus on his solo projects. Following Vile leaving other members followed suit, those being: Charlie Hall and Kyle Lloyd by 2008.

Following the departure of key members, the band in 2008 now consisted of members: Adam Granducial, David Hall and Mike Zhangi (who would leave in 2010). By 2012 the bands lineup consisted of: Adam Granducial, Patrick Berkery, Robbie Bennett and David Hall.

2011 saw the release of The War On Drugs second album 'Slave Ambient' this generated widespread critical acclaim as it managed to receive 7 out of 10 from 'Spin', 'BBC Music' gave it a favourable rating and it received an A- grade from 'The A.V. Club'.

As of 2014 the current members of the band are: Adam Granducial on vocals, Dave Hartley on bass guitar, Robbie Bennett on keyboards and Charlie Hall on drum.

Live reviews

Grace is a highly underrated quality for a rock band to possess. When compared to other, more universal assets like rawness, volume and ability it might seem a little forgettable, but a band playing to the absolute best of their ability and making it look as natural as breathing can be the genesis of some truly unforgettable moments of live music. Not one band that I’ve seen sums this sight up as well as Philadelphia indie rockers The War on Drugs, and when it comes to their sold out show at the Koko, Camden’s most ornate venue, most traditional phrases describing a well played gig seem too violent to sum it up. They didn’t “smash it”, they didn’t “blow the roof off”, they didn’t “destroy the place”, they were far better than that. Make no mistake, Adam Granduciel and co played up a storm, their psychedelia inflected country-rock filling every inch of this beautiful venue but the atmosphere was unlike any gig I’ve been to in a very long time. The crowd lost themselves in the music in a way that didn’t lead to mindless moshing and crowd-surfing, the 1400 people were enraptured, moved by the music, not to the music. It was an experience as beautiful as it was exciting and anyone with a passing interest in this life affirming lunacy we call Rock and Roll should seek it out as soon as possible.

Report as inappropriate

Possibly the best gig I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing live. The guitars, the bass, the drums, the saxophone, the lights, the overall setting and the 'psychedelic' lightshow combining it all together adds to an unforgettable evening.

Not only that, but this ground-breaking indie-rock deliverer also played around two hours, non-stop, building up until the last two epic songs.

Let's talk about one of those: I was literally petrified during their performance of the soothing song Thinking Of A Place. Adam Granduciel gripped me with his euphony, all mixed with the bands grand performance and overall constant change yet stability. Every little tune that changes the song, hits you like a lovearrow, yet delivers a whole range of different emotional effects, ranging from excitement to love, from pain to deep pleasure and from melancholia to confidence.

If you ever get the chance, don't miss out on these boys, they're here to save our music industry.

Last night was mind blowing! Adam is absolutely brilliant as both a guitarist and a songwriter. The lyrics are raw, brutally honest emotion, intimately romantic storytelling at it's best. You're pushed further into the abyss with Adams face melting guitar strokes, and phenomenal drum beats. Yes, they played 'Lost in the Dream' (which I know every note), but it was enhanced with such refinement and nuance that I left the concert with a crush on both Adam AND the band, feeling utter joy and contentment. They are so tightly woven together you feel as if each note is planned and featured. Between music and lyrics, they evoke every emotion within you. Dylanesque voice, Jimmy Page/Eric Clapton guitar skills, charismatic stage presence. SEE THEM.

I'm not sure I've seen such an exquisite level of professionalism in a band. Either way, their music is transporting, well, painfully obvious considering their new album, to a dream. Words can't make The War on Drugs justice. Granduciel's guitar game is magnificent and mind blowing. What was fascinating to me is that on the morning of the day of the show I woke up literally lost in the sweetest dream. I am not kidding, it was such a curious day, I'll never forget it. How hypnotizing their music had been when I realized I was the last one clapping when people had already started to leave. I left the show drugged out, with the amplifiers ringing in my head for hours afterwards.

Massey Hall Sat.night I went to show and really enjoyed it. He is a good singer and great guitarist. He played several hits and a cover song as well. These guys are seasoned performers and the audience were clapping and enjoying the show. I miss guitar being part of the music scene so the 6 member band, filled that void for me.

Great show and would recommend fans to see.

I saw future islands here recently here, from the moment they hit the stage the audience gave them a standing ovation and sang cheered and clapped the whole show. I was amazed at how the audience showed there love for this band...another must see band. They played hit after hit.

A pleasant evening with nice music but nothing new that we older attendees hadn't seen before. Except maybe the use of a bass clarinet which was fun. They always sound great. Overall I thought there was too little space in the music especially when three keyboards were used

The set started modestly with three very similar songs but the band moved up a notch thereafter and by the end of the main set I was ready for more. They didn't take much encouragement to return to the stage for more and I'm pleased they did as this was their best music

It will be interesting to see where they go from here

Awesome night!

The band has been playing over 2 hours most part (if not all) of their last work "Lost in the dream" and some other songs.

All along they have been spreading feelings and emotions to the audience through their music. Playing intense, playing right, playing long, playing good.

I discovered the Live Music Hall for the occasion, and it was probably the best choice given the audience of such a band; it was large enough, a lot of people was in but it was not overly crowded, with 4 bars and an open air patio.

Probably the best concert I have been to so far this year.

I already enjoy the War on Drugs recorded music, but the live show is another level again. Went with three mates to the show in Central Melbourne and we all felt we had witnessed something special. It was the best concert in years (and we go to a LOT).

They must play together all the time because they're tighter than a bank vault yet the passion and the freshness shine through. One gets the sense that the War on Drugs are arriving, that a breakthrough is imminent.

If you get the chance to hear them live, don't miss the War on Drugs. Memorable.

Adam Granduciel and The War on Drugs put on a driving,well-tuned (a new guitar ever song) that has the audience moving for the first 70 minutes before breaking into the softer ballads. Kudos to the guy singing along with the band, standing next to me - he's spent some time on Genius. The lighting seemed to be predominantly from the back and the sides so there were few good videos to be recorded, however, you don't want to miss his guitar solos or interactions with the saxophone player. Nothing like that since Bruce & Clarence...

A really really good show. They are pretty flawless live. We saw Kurt Vile (a former member of The War on Drugs) last year and he has such a terrible stage presence that we actually walked out of the show (something I’ve never done before) so I was a little worried this would be a similar show but they proved within the first minute that it was not. So so good, go see them if you like to watch incredible musicians play.

The War On Drugs & Special Guest Lo Moon

April 14, 2022.

New album, I Don’t Live Here Anymore, out 29 October on Atlantic Records. Tickets on sale Friday 23 July - 10am.

Today The War On Drugs announced that they will play Dublin’s 3Arena April 2022 as part of their upcoming North American and European tour.

This tour takes the band to some of the largest venues they’ve ever played, including their first headlining show at Madison Square Garden, as well as Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium, the Bill Graham Civic Center in San Francisco, the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, two nights at the Chicago Theatre, Philadelphia’s Metropolitan, the House of Blues in Boston, and beyond.

Details a new album, I Don’t Live Here Anymore, their first studio album in four years, were also announced today, as they shared the first song/video, “Living Proof.” The album will be out 29 October on Atlantic Records. The “Living Proof” video, directed by filmmaker Emmett Malloy, and shot on 16mm, captures Granduciel at the historic Panoramic studio in Stinson Beach, California.

Over the last 15 years, The War on Drugs have steadily emerged as one of this century’s great rock and roll synthesists, removing the gaps between the underground and the mainstream, between the obtuse and the anthemic, making records that wrestle a fractured past into a unified and engrossing present. The War On Drugs have never done that as well as they do with their fifth studio album, I Don’t Live Here Anymore, an uncommon rock album about one of our most common but daunting processes—resilience in the face of despair.

On The War On Drugs’ 2017 album A Deeper Understanding, Adam Granduciel sang about wanting to “find what can’t be found.” In a way, the history of this band has been a chronicle of their frontman’s ongoing search for greater meaning. Along the way, they’ve grown with each record. In the aftermath of A Deeper Understanding, they won a Grammy for Best Rock Album. The New Yorker called them “the best American ‘rock’ band of this decade.” Even The Rolling Stones recognized Granduciel’s talents, inviting him to remix their long lost collaboration with Jimmy Page, “Scarlet,” which was previously an unreleased gem from Goats Head Soup.

By any metric, The War On Drugs have made it. They are now firmly embedded in the classic rock lineage. And yet the quest for that ineffable something continues.
