Top 10 Bands We Most Wish Would Reunite in 2024
Which band do you most wish would reunite this year?
For this list, we're considering bands that have officially split up for a long time and for whom we hope for a reunion, whether it's for a tour or new music.
Please note that this list is utopian, so it's unlikely that any of the bands you mention will reunite anytime soon.
Also, we should exclude bands like The Beatles, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Linkin Park, and others that have lost at least one important member. There's no possibility they will ever reunite.

Oasis
Oasis is an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991. The original lineup consisted of Liam Gallagher (lead vocals), Paul Arthurs (guitar), Paul McGuigan (bass guitar), and Tony McCarroll (drums). A few months later, Liam invited his older brother Noel Gallagher (lead guitar, vocals) to join the... read more
It would be great to see the Gallagher brothers team up again, but I doubt it will happen because they hate each other.
Edit: It ultimately happened!
My favorite band of all time. Wish they reunited for just one more concert. Just one more.

Talking Heads
Talking Heads were an American rock band formed in 1975 in New York City and active until 1991. The band comprised David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison. They helped pioneer new wave music and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
Talking Heads have been separated since 1991 and never reunited. That would be awesome to see them together again, let alone for a reunion tour.

No Doubt
No Doubt is an American rock band from Anaheim, California, that formed in 1986. Since 1994, the group has consisted of vocalist Gwen Stefani, bassist and keyboardist Tony Kanal, guitarist and keyboardist Tom Dumont, and drummer Adrian Young. Their 1995 album Tragic Kingdom brought them mainstream success... read more
They reunited for the first time in 2009 and released an album in 2012. Since then, they've split again, and Gwen Stefani has released two solo albums, including a holiday album. Now would actually be a good time to see Gwen reunite with her pals from No Doubt and possibly make new music together.
It's happening! They are reuniting for the first time in almost a decade and are one of the artists headlining Coachella in 2024.

Outkast

Who wouldn't want to see Big Boi and André 3000 reunite?
-
The Stone Roses
The Stone Roses are an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1983. As one of the pioneering groups of the Madchester movement in the late 1980s and early 1990s, their lineup consists of vocalist Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Mani, and drummer Reni. They are known for their influential... read more
They reunited in 2011 and released two singles in 2016, but then they split again in 2017. There is no way they will reunite ever again, though, because their bassist Gary "Mani" Mounfield died in 2025.
-
Destiny's Child
Destiny's Child was an American girl group whose final and best-known lineup comprised Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. The group achieved mainstream success in the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits such as Say My Name and Survivor. They officially disbanded in 2006.
Since their official separation in 2005, they've had one-off reunions, including one in 2013.

One Direction
One Direction, commonly abbreviated as 1D, was a British-Irish pop boy band composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik, who departed on March 25, 2015.
The group formed on The X Factor UK in 2010, finished third, and then signed with Simon Cowell's Syco... read more
Since 1D split in 2016 and all of their members went solo, there have been multiple rumors about a reunion. Love or hate 1D, but a reunion will inevitably spread hysteria among their fans.
Edit: Liam Payne died (RIP), looks like it's never gonna happen.
-
Spice Girls
The Spice Girls are an English pop girl group formed in 1994. The group consists of Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice), Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), and Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice).... read more

New Radicals
This short-lived band may have been one-hit wonders with "You Get What You Give," but their power-pop sound still felt like a nice breath of fresh air in a rock era that was dominated by post-grunge, nu metal, and pop-punk. After the initial split in 1999, they had a one-off reunion in 2021. It would still be nice to see Gregg Alexander reunite with his pals and possibly make new music together.

Lillix is a Canadian pop rock band from Cranbrook, British Columbia. The band was originally formed under the name Tigerlily in 1997 while the founding members were still in high school. They changed their name to Lillix before releasing their debut album, Falling Uphill, in 2003.

Daft Punk
Daft Punk was a French electronic music duo composed of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. They were known for their innovative approach to electronic music, blending house, funk, and techno elements. Daft Punk achieved international fame with hits like Around the World, One More Time... read more
There's no way it's going to happen since robots are taking over the world right now, and the guys from Daft Punk don't want to be robots. But it'd be epic if they did reunite.

The Police
The Police were an English rock band formed in London in 1977. The lineup included Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland for most of the band's existence. They are best known for songs such as "Roxanne," "Message in a Bottle," "Don't Stand So Close to Me," "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic,"... read more
They've been separated for about four decades and had a reunion tour in 2007-08 but never released new music since. However, don't expect them to get back together any time soon because Sting would rather focus on his solo career and regrets having reunited with The Police for this tour, which he said felt like a nostalgia exercise.
-
Dire Straits
Dire Straits were a British rock band formed in 1977 by Mark Knopfler, his younger brother David Knopfler, John Illsley, and Pick Withers. The band is known for its clean sound, literate lyrics, and hit songs such as Sultans of Swing and Money for Nothing. Dire Straits disbanded in 1995 but remain influential... read more
Since Dire Straits' last separation in 1995, Mark Knopfler has had a successful solo career. However, don't expect him to reunite with Dire Straits because he had difficulty handling the band's gigantic tours in the 1980s and 1990s, and it would be too much pressure on his shoulders.
-
Slayer
Slayer is an American thrash metal band from Huntington Park, California, formed in 1981 by guitarists Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King. They rose to fame with their 1986 album Reign in Blood and are considered one of the Big Four of thrash metal, along with Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax.... read more
I don't know if they will ever reunite, but if they do, then it'll be one of the greatest days of my entire life!
