In an exciting reunion that has fans buzzing with nostalgia, Liam Gallagher and his brother Noel are set to perform in Australia for the first time in two decades, aiming to attract close to 300,000 fans at Sydney’s Accor Stadium this weekend. However, another Liam, Australian radio host and avid Oasis fan Liam Stapleton, has also found his own way to capture the spotlight.
Stapleton has gained attention for his exceptional impersonation of the iconic Oasis frontman, even embodying Gallagher’s distinctive accent and style. His TikTok videos, which feature his impressions, have gone viral, particularly after he posted several shortly after news of Oasis’s reunion tour broke last year. Emphasizing Gallagher’s status as an “iconic character,” Stapleton acknowledges how fun it is to channel such a recognizable persona.
The roots of Stapleton’s impersonation began in 2017 when he had the chance to interview Gallagher for his radio show. During the discussion, he unknowingly picked up some of Gallagher’s characteristics, which he later showcased while chatting with fellow media personality Wil Anderson. Impressed by Stapleton’s portrayal, Anderson encouraged him to pursue this unique talent further.
Stapleton took to raiding his wardrobe, pulling out parkas, Adidas Sambas, and bucket hats—a look reminiscent of Gallagher’s iconic style. He quips about his collection of Adidas shoes and parkas, saying, “I’m ashamed to say I’ve probably got seven pairs of Adidas shoes that I just rotate.” He finds slipping into character surprisingly easy, often relying on Gallagher’s distinctive catchphrases as a quick entry point.

Recently, Stapleton collaborated with the fast-food chain Oporto for a campaign called “Liam’s Guided Meditation,” where he captures Gallagher’s persona while guiding listeners through an amusing mindfulness exercise designed to alleviate feelings of hunger. His take on Gallagher’s traits, such as urging listeners to “breathe in and breathe fookin’ out,” adds a humorous twist to the meditation.
Reflecting on Gallagher’s potential use of the meditation technique to unwind before performances, Stapleton imagines the star preparing for a gig while still grappling with past tensions with Noel. His enthusiasm for the band’s reunion is palpable; having attended their first concert back in Cardiff and their recent show in Melbourne, he described it as a “dream come true” to witness the long-anticipated reunion that he had hoped for over the years.
As the Gallagher brothers continue their tour, Stapleton remains both a devoted fan and a talented impersonator, ready to capture the special moments of this historic return on TikTok, ensuring that the excitement around Oasis not only endures but evolves in new and engaging ways.
