While thousands have been waiting years for Oasis’ upcoming concerts in the U.S., singer and songwriter Noel Gallagher is giving fans incentive to stay cool.
The 58-year-old has joined forces with British eyewear company Finlay to launch a limited edition of sunglasses called “The Chiltern.” He has worn their shades for years, according to a Finlay spokesperson. Fans of “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Half the World Away” and other Oasis tunes who buy a pair of the $260 sunglasses will help support the Teenage Cancer Trust with 25 percent of each purchase going to the charity. All of Gallagher’s royalties will benefit the organization, which supports cancer-stricken people between the ages of 13 and 24.
He was one of the Teenage Cancer Trust’s first ambassadors, and he has continued to support the charity, which is the only one in the U.S. that provides specialized nursing care and support for young people with cancer. He also has headlined Teenage Cancer Trust shows at the Royal Albert Hall as part of Oasis and partnering up with other rock legends. At Sir Roger Daltry’s request, Gallagher even stepped in to curate the lineup in 2013, when The Who’s frontman was on tour with the band in the states.
Gallagher has also donated signed guitars and created a limited-edition pair of Adidas trainers to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. He also curated an artwork with The Connor Brothers, which sold out in moments, according to the spokesperson.

The U.K.-based eyewear brand codesigned the styles after a Finlay silhouette that Gallagher wore for years. The Princess of Wales Kate Middleton has also been known to wear the brand’s sunglasses.
Gallagher and his brother Liam will touch down in the U.S. next week, with a North American opener scheduled for Thursday at Soldier Field in Chicago. There will also be stops at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., and at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., before moving on to Toronto and Ciudad, Mexico, and more.

Those who didn’t score tickets can console themselves with Oasis Live ‘25 loot like $49 or $56 T-shirts, $49 to $104 hoodies and other memorabilia like $28 tote bags and $56 posters. But the majority of the Oasis and Adidas collaborative collection is long gone. All of the styles were sold out Friday afternoon except for a $138 black Live 2025 Adidas coach’s jacket, but a $118 black Live ’25 Adidas football shirt was flagged as coming soon.
