One British fan who attended a concert in California was left “appalled” by the behavior of US gig-goers as they wrapped up the US leg of their Live ’25 reunion tour this weekend.
After performing a string of 14 sold-out shows in the UK and Ireland as part of their Live ’25 tour, Oasis is currently taking their reunion tour around the world. Over the weekend, they wrapped up their North American leg of the tour, and they’ll be back in London for two extra sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium that were added due to overwhelming demand, before heading off to Asia, Australia, and South America.
One British fan, who witnessed the band playing in California this weekend, claimed to be shocked by the behavior of the US fans after discovering what one of them was doing during the opening act. When the US tour was announced, Jennifer Jones decided to travel across the Atlantic to see the Wonderwall hitmakers on their first tour in 16 years because she had been unable to obtain any tickets for the UK shows.
She still wishes she had been able to purchase tickets in the UK, as the atmosphere would have been better, despite insisting that the journey was “worth it.”
Jennifer recorded a video of the band performing their smash hit song Supersonic in a video that was shared to TikTok. However, she caught a concertgoer on their phone while standing a few rows in front of her during the video.
When she zoomed in and the phone screen appeared, it was obvious that the other fan was looking up the lyrics to the song to make it sound like they were unfamiliar with the well-known track as most Oasis fans might.
“Appalling,” Jennifer’s caption for her video read. We had no choice because we couldn’t purchase tickets for any UK dates. Still worthwhile.
Many commentators on the video argued that Liam and Noel Gallagher should not have given a damn about visiting the US.
Many people claimed that the performance resembled a “no atmosphere” and that it was a far cry from the raucous crowds at UK shows, especially in their home city of Manchester.
The entire crowd screamed when I was in Manchester when they played Supersonic. There is no “ambiance” present.
Another remarked, “It’s criminal not to know Supersonic.”
A third questioned, “Why did they even enter America?”
Jennifer added more details in the comments, stating that the person was traveling with a group of people who didn’t appear to be familiar with any of the songs on the setlist besides some of Oasis’s biggest hits.
The fella was traveling with three other people, she wrote. One girl only viewed Don’t Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall, and Champagne Supernova while the other girl was watching her Snapchat all night.
Since Oasis has been around for more than 30 years, time has not come to “learn.” No excuses, I’m five months pregnant and stood the entire time. Obviously still a biblical night, but the real fans who couldn’t get tickets were SO irritated.
Some US fans, however, have argued that not every performance was “dead.”
My entire section was belting it out at MetLife, a fan claimed. However, I would like to think that I was the loudest. The American television shows are so despised by so many people. It was fantastic. My favorite band, who I love, is coming here. If I could, I would attend every performance.
Another fan in the video defended the fan, saying, “I did this because I went with my partner, who was a big fan. I memorized the lyrics that night, and I now have a playlist of my all-time favorites. Discovering is the focus of music and concerts!
