According to The Sun, the Barcelona playmaker takes on the Noel Gallagher role in the group and has recruited a teammate to sing as Liam.
"Our disguise is based on how Oasis looked in the mid-'90s. We have our wigs, clothes and glasses sorted," Messi is quoted as saying. "I also spent a lot of time getting the mannerisms right.
"We'll visit the UK. If you're at a pub or club where we are performing and see past our disguises there'll be a decent prize in it for you."
Messi reportedly added that he has already invited Noel to come and see the group play when they next tour.
The footballer's national teammate Carlos Tevez last year promised to teach the Gallagher brothers how to Latin dance.
