“I’d rather stay and stack the dishwasher”: Liam Gallagher explains why Oasis won’t be attending their Rock Hall induction
Over the years, Liam Gallagher has made his feelings on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame pretty clear; back in 2021, the singer insisted he wasn’t “interested” in that form of recognition, and in 2024 he eloquently branded the institution “a load of bollocks”. However, has his tune changed now Oasis are set to be inducted into the hallowed hall?
…Of course it hasn’t. While Oasis will be joining the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on 14 November, Gallagher won’t be in attendance. His reasoning? Well, in his own words, he’d rather “stack the dishwasher” than fly out to LA. “Everyone’s a soft cunt these days,” Gallagher explains in an X post. “[Award shows are] boring as fuck. Everyone’s up their own arse and far too sensitive. I’d rather stay and stack the dishwasher”

Back in April, Gallagher fooled fans with a rather sarcastic “thank you” to everyone who had voted for Oasis to join the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. “I wanna thank all the people who voted for us it’s a real honour… ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I’d dream about 1 day being in the RnR Hall of Fame,” he joked.
“It’s true what they say: anything is possible if you have a dream,” he concluded.
While some didn’t clock the sarcasm, he followed up with another post that made it scathingly clear: “I was speaking to my mummy last night when the news broke, and she thinks I may have been a little hasty with my perception of the organisation. She’s told me to stop being a dick and go to the awards and ‘behave… you never know you might enjoy it.’”

True to his word, the mardy Manc’s refusal to attend is pretty in line with his 2024 rant against the institution. Just like then, Gallagher doesn’t feel like he needs to be awarded a “wank award” from “some geriatric in a cowboy hat”.
Gallagher also officially confirmed these thoughts with The Sunday Times that same year, claiming the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame seemed to be arbitrarily chosen, thus making any recognition from the institution pointless. He honed in on Mariah Carey’s inclusion as a case in point: “As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say: do me a favour and fuck off. It’s like putting me in the rap hall of fame, and I don’t want to be part of anything that mentally disturbed. Besides, I’ve done more for rock n’ roll than half of them clowns on that board.”
Of course, Gallagher does admit he might have been more inclined to attend had the ceremony not been in LA. “If it was in the UK I’d be there,” he admits on X. “For some reason it’s in LA and that’s miles away.”
“It’s too far to be going for the night,” he adds in another tweet. “I got shit to do – it’s Christmas.”

Replying to one fan who felt saddened by Gallagher’s apparent change in attitude, pointing back to Gallagher’s sarcastically ‘enthusiastic’ tweets back in April, Gallagher has some sage advice for anyone gutted that we wont witness the Gallagher brothers swaggering up to accept their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction: “Stop crying your heart out and go put the kettle on.”
Oasis will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on 14 November.
Lucy you do know your allowed to change your mind stop crying your heart out and go put the kettle on
