Liam Gallagher ready to perform Wonderwall live if England reach World Cup final

Liam Gallagher has offered to perform Wonderwall at the World Cup final if England reach the New Jersey showpiece on July 19, responding to a fan’s suggestion on X with a simple: “We’ll see I’m ready.”

The 1995 Oasis anthem has become the unofficial soundtrack of England’s World Cup 2026 campaign, with players and supporters singing it together after every victory in North America. The latest rendition came after the Three Lions’ dramatic 3-2 win over Mexico in the last 16 at the Azteca, a result that kept Thomas Tuchel’s side firmly on course for a first World Cup final since 1966.

Gallagher, a lifelong Manchester City fan, was among the millions who stayed up through the early hours of Monday morning to watch the victory. After the final whistle, England players and staff gathered in front of their fans to belt out the song — a moment that even left captain Harry Kane briefly voiceless, producing what was described as a hilarious post-match interview.

Posting on X shortly after, Gallagher wrote: “It’s hard work that singing Harry Kane cmon ENGLAND cmon WONDERWALL.” When a supporter replied suggesting it was “mandatory” for him to fly out and perform the song live on the pitch should England reach the final, the singer did not rule it out.

The prospect is not entirely far-fetched. World Cup closing ceremonies have traditionally featured live musical performances, and Gallagher performed at the same New Jersey stadium during Oasis’ 2025 reunion tour. His presence at a potential England final would fit neatly into a summer in which the band have again captured the national mood, a year on from their sold-out reunion run across the UK.

Before any of that can happen, England must first overcome Norway in a quarter-final in Miami on Saturday. Should they progress, a semi-final awaits the following Wednesday in Atlanta, the city where they earlier defeated DR Congo.

England have reached only one World Cup final in their history, winning the trophy on home soil in 1966. With the team performing with growing confidence and the Wonderwall singalongs growing louder with each round, supporters are beginning to believe this squad could end six decades of near-misses.
