Fans wanting to own a little piece of Brit Pop music history may have to dig deep to own a near empty plastic soft drink bottle that has a connection to one of the Oasis tour nights
Oasis fans have begun bidding to buy grass and the bottled “atmosphere” of their recent Heaton Park concerts in Manchester, with tatty items from the gigs attracting thousands of pounds of interest.
This year, brothers Liam, 52, and Noel Gallagher, 58, thrilled fans as they kicked off their 41-date Oasis Live ’25 Tour. The brothers, who famously fell out during their 2009 tour, buried the hatchet after vowing never to perform together again and are now enjoying rave reviews from music critics and fans as they play concerts in front of packed-out venues.
Last year, when they tour was first announced, countless fans were left fuming as virtual queues for tickets spiraled out of control and ticket prices soared due to demand – with many spending a fortune to secure tickets to the concerts, and many more left bitterly disappointed as they waited for hours only for the tickets to be snapped up in front of them.
Now, some Oasis fans are proving they have more money than sense as an empty soft drink bottle stuffed with grass allegedly from one of the recent Manchester gigs has been put online for auction – and attracted surprising sums from those desperate to own a little bit of Brit Pop history. Over recent days, Liam and Noel have enjoyed homecoming performances at Heaton Park – and will have played in front of more than 300,000 after gigs on July 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20.
A cunning fan has taken to eBay to offer those who didn’t attend the change to own a part of one of the gigs. The seller is selling a Pepsi bottle that is empty save for some blades of grass that have been stuffed into the plastic container.
The offering also includes a green wristband, worn on the first of the five nights at Heaton Park. The sale description simply reads: “Atmosphere And Grass From Heaton Park Oasis Concert (11th July 2025, Homecoming)” – with the description described as “good” and a strict no refunds policy.
Despite being arguably worthless, the items have thus far attracted six bids, pushing the price to more than £7,700. The most expensive tickets available for the Oasis gigs upon first sale were £506.25 packages that included access to a pre-show party, exhibition, and seated concert experience; however, resale tickets fetched thousands when sold online.
So far, the Oasis gigs have attracted positive reviews from fans and critics alike, with the Heaton Park gigs particularly attracting glowing reports. The Mirror’s very own Daniel Bird attended the opening night at the Manchester venue, and described the evening as “electric”.
He wrote: “Walking out at Heaton Park, you could never have imagined that there was once a feud between the two siblings. Putting on a united front, the two legends walked out to their 2000 track, F***in’ In The Bushes, to a crowd of 80,000 people, with the atmosphere instantly becoming electric.”
And Showbiz Editor Mark Jefferies also wrote positively of the Heaton Park gigs – admitting he was blown away by the performance.
He recounted: “On Saturday night at the end of the show the brothers hugged and then Noel pointed over to his brother in a clear show of admiration and to tell the crowd just how much he loved Liam’s performance. It was a shocking sight, the total opposite of their old rows on stage.”
Having managed to attend three of the first four gigs of the Oasis tour – which began on 4 July in Wales, Mark added: “Would I like more stage interaction? Of course. And some of the lines on stage are now pre-planned which doesn’t feel very Oasis. But the Gallaghers have grown up, and like their mature fans who can only manage to jump up and down for the odd song in three these days, this style of set is what they need to make things work.”
Oasis will be on the road for most of the rest of the year as they thrill fans around the globe. After taking on the UK, the Gallagher brothers will jet to North America, Asia, Australia and more.
The final night of their tour is scheduled for Sunday 23 November when they will play at the MorumBIS stadium in São Paulo, Brazil.
