Paul Gallagher dropped from Oasis afterparty in Dublin amid sexual assault charges
Paul Gallagher, the older brother of Oasis‘ Liam and Noel Gallagher, will no longer be DJing at an afterparty following their upcoming concert in Dublin.
Last month, the Metropolitan Police charged the 59-year-old with rape, coercive and controlling behaviour, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat to kill and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The authorities said in a statement: “The offences are reported to have taken place between 2022 and 2024. The charges follow an investigation which commenced in 2024. A woman is being supported by specially trained officers.”
Gallagher strongly denies the allegations. His lawyers said in a statement on July 28th: “Mr Gallagher has consistently engaged with the police throughout their investigation and always strongly denied the allegations made against him. He looks forward to clearing his name, but as there are now ongoing legal proceedings, our client is unable to comment further.”
He is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on August 28th.
Gallagher, who is a DJ and photographer, was due to DJ in Dublin at The Grand Social when Oasis perform in the city this weekend. However, according to the Irish Independent, a spokesperson for the Dublin venue confirmed that the oldest Gallagher “will no longer be DJing at our Oasis afterparty.”
They continued: “Mani from The Stone Roses will DJ on Saturday night and Alan McGee will DJ on Sunday.”
The Oasis reunion is currently in Edinburgh and is set to resume on August 12th at the Murrayfield Stadium in the Scottish capital. It will then move on to Dublin for two performances at Croke Park on August 16th and August 17th. The group will then commence upon the North American leg of their tour with Cage The Elephant on support duties ahead of returning to the UK for two final shows at Wembley Stadium in September.
