Got tickets for Wembley. 2nd night. Get in.

[colne-claret]

A lad I know is mates with the bands manager and offered me a free ticket for Halifax next June. Turns out it's just a crappy warm up show so told him no thanks but if he can sort me Wembley I'm in

[dermotdermot]

Noel Gallagher is much better without his brother anyway. Their best song was Look Back In Anger in which he sang the vocals. But then I don’t like him that much either on account of him stating, a few years back, that the Premiership doesn’t need teams like Burnley. He definitely said it. I remember it well.

He’s really not. They have both have fine individual careers but nothing like Oasis.

Had an email this morning with a code for trying to access tickets to the Cardiff gigs tomorrow. Heard of similar having for the other shows and was just wondering if anybody who missed out originally has actually got lucky this way?

I'm only aware of official resale via Twickets. There's only one premium ticket for Cardiff at £516 when I looked.

Yes, I got them for Wembley in September like this just a few weeks back

I nipped down Burnley yesterday and I saw a chap wearing a full Adidas Oasis tracksuit in red. Looked in his 50s . Even had the haircut.

Now I totally understand loving their music but not this dastardly behaviour.

I don't understand that at all. Absolutely obsurd.

Loving their music?

[jedi_master]

Delighted to say I secured tickets, finally (Wembley on 26th July rather than my preferred Heaton Park, but I’ll take what I can get). Imminent now with the first show next Friday. Anyone at that in Cardiff? Everyone getting excited!?

[TommyPicks]

Got tickets for Heaton Park. Really looking forward to it, just hoping I can avoid enough of the stone island, beaked up roids heads who'll inevitably be the crowd.

[No Ney Never]

I dread to think what the owd biddies homes in the future are going to be like.

It might be cheaper to fly to Toronto and get tickets for the shows there than buy them for uk shows. Twickets has them. Best price 340 cad for 4 tickets (each). Exchange rate is about 1.80 to sterling

I live in Canada and managed tickets for Toronto, tickets haven’t gone up in price since I got them at pre sale.. heads up if anybody is doing the Toronto gigs.. the stadium isn’t The Rogers Centre in downtown Toronto.. it’s a newly constructed venue about 30 minutes north of Toronto. Called The Rogers Stadium.

[Woodleyclaret]

Why do they insist in performing in anoraks at indoor gigs?

[ŽižkovClaret]

I'm in Edinburgh anyway for the fringe so i'm keeping an eye out for the 12th

[Targetman]

Why do they insist in performing in anoraks at indoor gigs?

Why do you say that you wont post on here again and yet continue to do so?

[GetIntoEm]

Tickets on resale can be got for around £200 now. Not bad value

where have you seen this ?

[GetIntoEm]

where have you seen this ?

Viagogo keep checking they keep popping up.

[ŽižkovClaret]

There is the risk with Viagogo that you get to the turnstile and computer says no.......

[Dyched]

With Viagogo get there very early. I bought once and took the risk. All ended fine but you’re buying (or was at least when I did) a screenshot of the ticket. So if the seller decides to use it, yours won’t work.

[EMANTO2]

There is the risk with Viagogo that you get to the turnstile and computer says no.......

Me and my mate bought tickets off there just before morrissey was playing turned up and got turned away due to not receiving the ticket

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Heaton Park for us on the Saturday, we even managed to win the ballot and get in the front section which means I'll be covered in p!ss at some point

[Quickenthetempo]

There is the risk with Viagogo that you get to the turnstile and computer says no.......

I've been to quite a few Oasis gigs and every single gig had touts outside selling tickets far cheaper than the original price.
If you don't want to watch support bands and wait until just before Oasis play you could pick them up for 20 quid.

The touts make all the money in the first week after sale. On the day is just about getting rid of their remaining tickets.

[jedi_master]

Would never trust Viagogo or Stubhub ever again after being turned away at the gates at a Muse gig about 7 or 8 years ago. Be very careful - sometimes if it appears too good to be true….

[tarkys_ears]

I've had tickets I've been offered 10x face value for and ones I couldn't give away.

It's all about timing/hype with an Oasis gig pricing and demand.

I've been 5 times and quite frankly, all but the Manc 2005 one were crap. (Seen Noel a coulple-a-tree times, he was better)

[ŽižkovClaret]

Bit the bullet and gone for one with a good view for the 12th at Murrayfield. Think i benefit from already being there for the Fringe and having booked and paid for my digs way back last September Imagine there are a few balking at the price of any digs within even driving distance of Edinburgh in August.

230 quid but hey, you only live once

[ElectroClaret]

Anyone gone to Cardiff for the first gig?

Anyone gone to Cardiff for the first gig?

I know a few that are there tonight

The bastards have just sent through some pics

I wonder if they know Burnley's very own Christian Madden is on keyboards for the tour.

[burnmark]

I’m a big fan but didn’t bother getting a ticket as not a fan of Heaton Park especially at the costs being asked. If it was at The Etihad I might have tried for one.

Tonight will be the one to be at. The setlist is unknown, first gig in years and the roof closed. Atmosphere will be immense.

Whether Oasis are "great" band compared to others depends on a mix of subjective taste and objective measures like influence, sales, and critical reception.

Influence and Impact: Oasis, formed in 1991, was a cornerstone of the Britpop movement, alongside bands like Blur and Pulp. Their debut album, *Definitely Maybe* (1994), and follow-up, *(What's the Story) Morning Glory?* (1995), defined a generation with anthems like "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger." They brought a raw, swaggering energy inspired by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and punk, Their cultural impact in the UK was massive, with their 1996 Knebworth concerts drawing 250,000 fans over two nights—a record for outdoor gigs at the time. Compared to contemporaries, their influence on modern rock and indie bands (e.g., Arctic Monkeys, The Killers) is arguably stronger than Blur's but less genre-defining than, say, Radiohead's experimental shift with *OK Computer*. Or most rock bands from the 60’s 70s 80s

Musical Quality wise - Oasis leaned on simple, catchy songwriting with Noel Gallagher’s knack for memorable melodies and Liam’s distinctive vocal snarl. Critics often praise their early work for its energy and authenticity but note later albums suffered from overproduction and bloat. Compared to peers, they lacked the sonic innovation of Radiohead or the lyrical depth of The Smiths. As contemporary from the period , Still their straightforward, anthemic style made them more accessible than many art-rock or prog bands.

Commercially Oasis sold over 70 million albums worldwide, with *Morning Glory* alone selling 22 million. They had eight UK #1 singles and topped charts in multiple countries. they outpaced Blur (roughly 30 million albums) but fell short of U2’s global dominance (150+ million albums) or Nirvana’s cultural earthquake, despite similar sales figures. Their commercial peak was intense but shorter-lived than longer-career bands like Coldplay , Radiohead etc

Oasis has a mixed critical legacy. *Definitely Maybe* and *Morning Glory* are often ranked among the best albums of the 90s, with *Rolling Stone* and *NME* giving high praise (Definitely Maybe* is #217 on *Rolling Stone*’s 500 Greatest Albums far lower than Radiohead - prince - talking heads -ramones The later works and their derivative style drew flak—some called them Beatles imitators. Pitchfork, for instance, gave *Be Here Now* a scathing 5.3/10. Compared to Radiohead or Pearl Jam, who evolved more, Oasis’s consistency waned, but their highs are iconic.

From a Fan Perspective On platforms like X, fans still celebrate Oasis’s raw energy and sing-along appeal,and laud them far higher than musical talent and creativity deserve , especially post their 2024 reunion announcement. This is not unusual with cultural significant bands from eras - people remember how they made them feel and mythologise their genius , which given their musical legacy is hard to agree with. Detractors, though, argue they’re overrated compared to more versatile bands like The Verve or Smashing Pumpkins. Posts often highlight Noel’s songwriting genius but criticize their repetitive formula by the 2000s.

As a comparison Oasis sits in the top tier of 90s rock for cultural impact and commercial success but doesn’t match the innovation of Radiohead, the raw intensity of Nirvana, or the longevity of U2. They’re “great” if you value anthemic, attitude-driven rock over complexity or experimentation. Against all-time greats like The Beatles or Led Zeppelin, they’re a significant notch below due to less originality and a shorter creative peak.

If you’re weighing “greatness” by emotional connection, Oasis’s ability to pack stadiums with fans screaming “Champagne Supernova” might tip the scale. If innovation or technical prowess is your metric, bands like Pink Floyd or prince would edge them out .

As ever it’s a matter of personal taste and musical awareness . With those of a more eclectic musical experience ranking them low and those of a narrower experience ranking them high.

Watched a bit of Cardiff tonight via someone’s livestream. Liam’s voice sounded surprisingly good. Set list very meat & potatoes though.

Watched a full stream of the show tonight…..very good

[Roosterbooster]

[Bow]

What would you have preferred?

More than 1 song recorded after 1997 would have been nice! Appreciate it’s a victory lap tour for the kids who never saw them first time though.

[ElectroClaret]

Set list very meat & potatoes though.

Can only speak for myself of course, but certainly that's what I'd want if I'd paid for a ticket.
Reckon that's what the majority wanted to hear too.

[ChrisG]

I wonder if they know Burnley's very own Christian Madden is on keyboards for the tour.

The Earlies were decent back in the day.

I'm sure I saw him at Mainz for the pre-season a couple of years back.

This passage strongly resembles a ChatGPT (or similar advanced LLM) response, but it's difficult to attribute it definitively to ChatGPT without more context. Here's why:

Clues Suggesting It's Likely from ChatGPT or Another LLM Like It:
Balanced Structure & Nuance:
The analysis weighs multiple dimensions of "greatness" (influence, sales, critical reception, innovation, etc.), which is a hallmark of ChatGPT's style—nuanced, multi-perspective, and organized.

Tone and Language:
The phrasing ("If you’re weighing 'greatness' by emotional connection...") and use of semi-academic comparisons (e.g., "Compared to Radiohead...") are consistent with how ChatGPT structures essays or music analyses.

Reference-Rich and Comparisons:
The frequent comparisons to Blur, Radiohead, Nirvana, U2, etc., with statistics and references to things like Rolling Stone and Pitchfork, also indicate an LLM trained on large music corpora.

Lack of Personal Voice:
There's no unique opinion, memory, or anecdote that would suggest it came from a real person deeply engaged in a forum or blog post. It feels "constructed," like an AI synthesis of common views.

But Some Signs Suggest Editing or Post-Processing:
Some stylistic rough edges and grammar issues, like:

"Musical Quality wise"

"Still their straightforward..."

"they outpaced Blur..." (lacks a capital 'T')

The final sentence has inconsistent punctuation and slightly awkward syntax.

→ ChatGPT tends to be more grammatically clean, so this might be a ChatGPT output that someone lightly edited, or it could be from a different AI with less refined output.

Emotional and critical tone shift: The part saying fans "laud them far higher than musical talent and creativity deserve" is more biting than typical ChatGPT tone—suggesting possible human editing or prompt nudging.

Verdict:
This is very likely an AI-generated text, possibly from ChatGPT (or another similar model like Claude or Gemini), though it may have been slightly altered or copied from a context where an LLM was prompted to be more critical or casual.

Would you like me to rewrite or improve this text, or check for potential plagiarism or source overlap online?
