Fans of Oasis who couldn’t get tickets to their sold-out Manchester shows found a novel way to see the band instead, and even the Gallaghers were impressed.
Two Oasis fans who failed to get tickets to the band’s sold-out tour found a genius way to watch their homecoming gigs at Manchester’s Heaton Park.
A clip of the male fans, who might have had a better view of the stage than the majority of the crowd, was posted to TikTok by @softgirlswhohikle, who posted a video to the platform. “Oasis has no tickets available” “Get the cherry picker out”! the phrase was in the title.
“At least they didn’t forget their bucket hats,” they added. The post quickly racked up more than 160,000 likes, with fans saying both Oasis and Liam Gallagher and brother Noel Gallagher reposted the short clip to their own social media accounts.
And one commenter compared the outrageously high prices of the tickets, some of which reached £500, to “Cheaper to hire than paying for a ticket” and people were impressed with the Oasis fans’ efforts.
Another posted: “This is definitely maybe iconic.” A third asked: “Genius! Are they taking bookings? Asking for a friend.” A fourth joked: “That’s Bez and Shaun Ryder [from the Happy Mondays].” A fifth added: “Well done lads… I’m surprised the council didn’t try and put a fence around it!” While a sixth added: “Champagne Supernova in the SKYYYYYYYY!!!”
Oasis have already played five nights in their hometown of Manchester at Heaton Park following their reunion tour that began in Cardiff on Friday, July 4.
The first night of another five-night stretch, this one at London’s Wembley Stadium, will be tonight (Friday, July 25). The band last performed at Wembley on July 12, 2009 as part of their “Did Out Your Soul” Tour.
It became one of their final gigs before they sensationally split in Paris later on that year. But the venue doesn’t hold good memories for older brother Noel, 58, who previously tore into ‘our kid’ Liam, 52, over a previous performance.
He claimed that that was the band’s “worst ever” performance from a performance from 2000 as their “worst ever” It was a terrible two and a half hour performance on stage. Lam is able to hang his head shamelessly. It was terrible.
The band will make sure that the following five nights are memorable for all the right reasons, so the band will be pulling everything together. After their performances in London, they’ll then embark on international tour dates in Dublin and Edinburgh.
After a 16-year feud, so far Liam and Noel are holding it together on tour – and were even spotted holding hands on stage.
Although the brothers’ relationship seems to be in good shape right now, Liam recently revealed his biggest regret with the band. How does it feel to sing along with your brother once more, a fan asked him on social media? “As in the past”? You know what it means spiritually, Liam replied, “But I can’t help but think about all those wasted years, what a waste of precious time!”
However, after their upcoming tour, will fans be able to see the once-warring brothers once more? Let’s see how this tour turns out and if we still fall in love with one another after it, Liam teased a fan.
