Oasis would probably snub Glastonbury as the pay packet is not enough, according to the Isle of Wight festival boss.
John Giddings claimed his and the Somerset events “can’t afford” to host the re-formed group in 2025 “because they want money”. But he said other acts would play Glastonbury “for 10p”.
John also revealed brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher got Oasis back together after their children and partners finally talked them into ending their feud.

He said Noel’s daughter Anaïs, 24, and Liam’s kids Lennon, 25, Gene, 24, and Molly-Moorish, 26, were instrumental in getting the band to reunite for gigs, 15 years after they split.
John added: “The families came together and persuaded their partners to do it.” John told how he has known for a while Noel, 57, and Liam, 51, would get back together. He said: “I didn’t even tell my wife. You have to keep things quiet, as you know it is going to be big news.”
Speaking during the launch of the Isle of Wight Experience 25 exhibition at London’s O2, John defended the dynamic pricing strategy for Oasis tickets, which soared in cost as demand rose.
He said 25% of the price is lost to VAT and performing rights before the band see any of it, and added: “Gigs are expensive.”
