Vernon Kay very excited on radio 2 this morning about taking his daughter to see Oasis.

I love live gigs, saw Morrissey in Dublin end of May. Seeing Leo Sayer later this month

Wasn't a fan of Oasis but tried (unsuccessfully) to get tickets as my husband is a fan.

So anyone lucky enough to be going?

One or the other Gallagher brothers (or both , I can’t remember), visited the nursing home in Ireland to see their Granny, where my MIL stayed. They spoke to all the residents and MIL. said ‘they were lovely boys.’ 😂

Wild horses wouldn’t drag me to an Oasis concert and I certainly wouldn’t fork out a hideous amount of money to see them anyway! Never liked them the first time around and cannot understand all the hype about this reunion tour!

Obviously if you've never liked them then you won't 'get' the hype about the reunion tour. As I said in my earlier post, I was never mad about them either, but I do understand why fans are excited about them getting back together. I'd sell my firstborn (only joking!) to get tickets for my favourite band if they announce a UK tour.

Sorry Ziggy but definitely not. I’d rather poke my eyes out with a sharp stick! (as the saying goes).

Pass the stick when you've finished!

No, but we were coming home that way and dreaded getting caught in the traffic jams. Thankfully DH took an alternative route.

I'm not, but wish I could.

Indeed not

My question was "Anyone going to see Oasis". It wasn't "let's all have a go at Liam and Noel

Is it not possible to have a light hearted, positive thread on this site?

Yes I agree having watched a few clips this morning. I was never a big Oasis fan but looked like a good gig

I’m not going, but I’m by excited proxy for all who are going. There’s nothing quite like seeing your idols playing live, especially if it’s never going to happen again.

In 1990 I enjoyed their set sitting in a relative’s garden, across the river from the Reading Festival site 😎

I think they are great, Ziggy62. But they don't come down to this part of the world (south Devon) and also the tickets are a bit pricey for me. I would love to see them though.

One of my DD’s has tickets to see them at Wembley in a fortnight!

Pittcity Sat 05-Jul-25 12:07:49

We saw them at Wembley in 2000.
Too much money and effort nowadays.

I’d rather see Black Sabbath and support bands, sadly seeing neither.

I went to antenatal classes with Ozzy's first wife. He was there on "fathers night" I find it sad seeing him now.

When my daughter got married, the string quartet played Paranoid as they walked back down the 'aisle'. Outdoor ceremony

My youngest son going I’m sure he’ll have the best time. I love Rod Stewart and hope he comes back up north sometime. Cardiff looks like it’s buzzing!

Ziggy62 Sat 05-Jul-25 16:08:35

I'm sure he will.
Hasn't Rod Stewart retired?

watermeadow Sat 05-Jul-25 20:17:59

If I saw Oasis I’d know I had died and gone to hell.

No!

He played the legend spot on the pyramid stage at Glastonbury last weekend.

ViceVersa Sat 05-Jul-25 20:34:31

Well, I've been watching bits and pieces of the Black Sabbath - Back To The Beginning - gig and it's been great.

merlotgran Sat 05-Jul-25 20:43:59

I’m also happy for those who are really excited about going.
I’ll watch the documentary about them tonight at 10pm.

I’m enjoying singing along to ELO on BBC2 at the moment.
My all time favourite band after the Beatles.

Northernsoulnanna Sat 05-Jul-25 21:20:02

Im in total agreement merlotgran.
Went to an E.L.O tribute concert a few months ago. It was amazing and the lead singer a double of Jeff Lyn.
Seeing Bootleg Beatles in September.
Sorry ive gone off Topic.
Not sure if i could cope with the crowds of Oasis concert.
Im sure the fans will have a blast.

Well, Cardiff could have been renamed for Oasis yesterday, there was such a great atmosphere, everybody was out, the town and brewery quarter were buzzing, and there was a huge boost to the businesses.

The concert was absolutely outstanding, the best I’ve seen, bar none. No gimmicks, or staging, just proper rock - and Liam’s voice is back to it’s best.

If you’re a fan, the hype was all justified, ‘I think you’re the same as me, we see things they’ll never see’ - get there if you possibly can.
