Oasis are gearing up for their long-awaiting tour, which will be their first since the band’s split in 2009, and see Noel and Liam Gallagher perform across the UK and Ireland
Liam Gallagher outraged Oasis fans by hinting the set length for their upcoming tour will be less than one hour.
His post on X, which was Twitter, had fans questioning whether the price they forked out for tickets – hundreds of pounds on third-party sites – is worth it. Liam, the band’s lead singer, replied to a woman who flagged concerns about the set length, but said: “Just under 59 mins 59 secs.”
It divided opinion with some supporters confident the 52-year-old musician was joking, but others shared their concern. Venues across the UK and abroad sold out days after the Gallagher brothers confirmed their reunion. One fan, preparing to see Oasis, replied: “Hardly, I spent so much money.” Another said: “No, Liam, no! Has to be longer.”
But others were humoured by the remark, believing the Wonderwall hitmaker was fooling around. They played along in jest in the hope Oasis will indeed extend their set from July when the tour begins.
Millions crashed Ticketmaster last year and forked out hundreds of pounds to be part of the historic comeback. Ticketmaster is, though, now under investigation for using “dynamic pricing” and increasing fees due to the high demand.
Oasis will perform 41 shows with the tour, which will finish in November in São Paulo, Brazil. It is thought Liam and Noel, who haven’t performed together for 15 years, will rake in a whopping £3,000,000 per show, meaning their take-home pay at the end of the world tour will be £100 million.
When the pair stunned everyone by confirming their long-running feud had ended, an Oasis statement read: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
The group formed in 1991 and quickly became one of the most popular bands in the country. They achieved four chart-topping singles and three number one albums in the 1990s, solidifying themselves as true British music icons.
