After seeing the band perform in her home country of the UK and America, one lucky Oasis fan commented that there was a significant difference.
There was a significant difference between the shows that an Oasis fan who had the opportunity to watch the band perform on their comeback tour in both the UK and the US discovered.
Kirsty McCormack, deputy entertainment editor for The Mirror US, was lucky enough to secure tickets to watch Manchester rock icons Liam and Noel Gallagher at London’s Wembley Stadium and at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Kirsty and her partner managed to get tickets for the band’s August 3 show in London after fighting online with countless other devoted fans clamoring for tickets. Being able to see them at Wembley Stadium was even more special because it was close to where I was born and raised, she said, “and I genuinely felt privileged to have an Oasis ticket.”

Kirsty told the Mirror US that seeing Liam and Noel Gallagher perform live on August 3 was “worth every penny I spent.” These kinds of memories are incomparable.
There’s nothing better than being surrounded by thousands or even thousands of total strangers who support a band the same way you do. Even though it’s nice to have a seat at a concert occasionally, I was SO glad to be in the middle, even if it did feel like a workout at times! !
The emotions were unfathomable. Everyone had the best of intentions, and the energy was contagious; without being there, I don’t think you can describe it. The “Oasis blues” are real, FYI.
Kirsty, who is based in New York, acknowledged that she was jealous of some of her friends who were purchasing tickets for New Jersey dates at the end of August. She was able to get two tickets to the performance on August 31st, but she was concerned that the American audience might not be as enthusiastic as the UK audience.
She admitted, “I was skeptical about how the US crowd would compare to the UK crowd. I went to the Manhattan pop-up store last week and met a fantastic turnout of British and American fans eagerly anticipating the NJ shows.
Oasis has always been accused of “getting the US,” or of implying that America had no idea what the band and their cause were. And to be completely honest, I enjoyed the New Jersey show’s vibes.
“Yes, of course everyone went crazy as Liam and Noel walked onstage to their 2000 track ‘F–kin’ in the Bushes’, and there were plenty of singalong moments throughout the night, but the atmosphere just wasn’t the same. Even one of my friends replied to my Instagram Story the morning after and commented, “The crowd is tame!
No shade to the Americans, but they appeared to be quite reserved. Remaining silent, I actually feel bad for the people next to me and my partner! Oasis! is the band you can really let loose to.
She claimed that despite the fact that the crowd was “really lacking that feistiness,” she still had “an amazing time,” despite the fact that it wasn’t quite the same as Wembley.
Oasis Live ’25 will travel to Pasadena after playing two shows in New Jersey. On September 6 and 7, the band, which includes Cage the Elephant and Cast, will play at the Rose Bowl.
The band will then spend two nights in Mexico on September 12 and 13, before returning to London for two more Wembley appearances.
Although rumors are already rifling about potential 2026 dates as fans ponder possible shows that will commemorate the legendary 1996 Knebworth and Maine Road concerts, the tour is currently scheduled to wrap up in So Paulo on November 22 and 23.
