Lily Allen Decries Gig Double Standards After Oasis Show, Reiterates 2009 Liam Gallagher Claim

Her remarks frame Oasis’ reunion crowds against the higher hurdles she says female performers must clear to earn the same reaction.

Overview

  • In a new Perfect Magazine interview, Allen says she saw Oasis on Sunday and Lady Gaga at the O2 the next night, using the contrast to highlight gendered expectations onstage.
  • She argues male stars can offer minimal movement and still elicit rapture, citing Liam Gallagher, whereas audiences expect women to deliver elaborate performances.
  • Coverage revisits Allen’s 2018 memoir, which describes a 2009 sexual encounter with Gallagher on a flight to Japan and later at a Tokyo hotel while he was married to Nicole Appleton, according to her account.
  • Reports note Gallagher has not publicly commented on Allen’s published claims.
  • Oasis’ 2025 reunion has drawn sold‑out UK crowds, renewing interest in the Gallaghers’ past and prompting fresh attention to Allen’s remarks after she attended one of the shows.
