Liam and Noel Gallagher’s mum Peggy has finally seen her two sons on stage with Oasis for the first time in 16 years, and is attending their Croke Park concerts in Dublin
Proud mum Peggy Gallagher has finally been to see the Oasis reunion – with Liam Gallagher dedicating a song to her tonight in Dublin. As the band performed Stand By Me, Liam could be heard saying: “This one I want to dedicate to my mum, my mum is here tonight.” There were big cheers from the fans at Croke Park in response.
Liam also dedicated Roll With It to the people of Charlestown, Co Mayo – where his mother hails from. Mid-song, he also turned to the upper tiers where she was expected to have been sitting and blew kisses as he mouthed: “I love you.”
The 92-year-old mum of Noel and Liam Gallagher is thrilled her sons have patched up their differences and reunited the band. She has spoken about planning to see them on the Oasis Live 25 tour too and still lives in Manchester, where she brought up her three sons in Burnage.
But Peggy avoided the all-standing Manchester shows so she could see them in comfort in a box when they played in Dublin. In an interview in June, Peggy was asked if she had anything to do with the reunion between Noel and Liam. It comes after Paul Weller reveals the unusual reason he refuses to watch Oasis concerts.

She said: “I was the instigator, yes. But sure, wasn’t it always going to happen at some time or other? It was their choice, of course. Look you can’t force them to do things they don’t want to do”.
She confessed she was relieved to see her sons working together again, following a years-long rift between the two. “It’s great, because nobody wants their kids falling out, do they?” she said, although she admitted to being nervous about the shows and would be “glad when it’s all just over because it makes me get too stressed.”
Peggy has been spending time with both Noel and Liam in the run-up to the live tour, and was on holiday with Liam and his partner Debbie in the South of France earlier in the year when Liam was on vocal rest. Speaking in the Sunday Times in 2019, Liam said: “Any good that comes out of me is all from Peggy and all her sisters and brothers.
“They were a good, close bunch of people. I never miss my father because my mother was both a mother and a father figure. She was there with the cuddle.
“She was also there with the whack. I’m generalising, dads’s there because dads give cuddles as well. But if I needed bringing down a peg or two she could do that, as well as elevate me.”
Meanwhile, Noel’s daughter, Anaïs has also been attending the concerts and just hours before her dad took to the stage, she shared a sweet message with Oasis fans on social media.
Anaïs shared a photo of an open window on her Instagram Story earlier today. She added a series of stickers over it, including a pint of Guinness and a packet of Tayto crisps. Another sticker featured the slogan “Erin go bragh.”
She wrote in the caption alongside the photo: “Woken up in the greatest nation on Earth.” Anaïs included the Pogues’ rendition of the folk song The Irish Rover, which was a collaboration with the Dubliners.
