Oasis was supported by Richard Ashcroft ahead of their epic reunion gig in Cardiff last night, but one fan was caught using Shazam during one of The Verve star’s iconic songs
An Oasis fan watching the reunion gig in Cardiff last night has gone viral after being caught using Shazam to identify what many reckon is one of the greatest songs of all time. The Britpop sensations were supported by Richard Ashcroft at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff who treated fans to The Verve’s classic Bittersweet Symphony.
The iconic track from 1997 has been named one of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine, but one fan in the stadium appeared to have never heard of the masterpiece. In a clip shared on TikTok, in which a woman can be seen using the app to identify the song, one irate fan wrote: “Did they just Shazam the national anthem? Imagine not knowing the greatest song of all time.”

Quickly flocking to the comments section, others sensationally fumed that the woman didn’t deserve her ticket to the gig, which has been sold out for months.
They complained: “Seriously! I couldn’t get a ticket because of these people.” Another ranted: “This is the people who got our tickets.” While a third said: “If you don’t know Bittersweet Symphony we can’t be friends. There’s no way I lost tickets to someone Shazamming one of the most popular songs of the Britpop era.”
Despite the mad rush for tickets when Oasis announced their reunion last year, with many fans complaining they couldn’t get one or were being asked to pay through the nose, 70,000 lucky people did manage to go to the glittering gig last night.
The special evening at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium marked the start of the Gallagher brothers’ epic world tour – and it didn’t disappoint.
The crowd were blown away by both Richard and Oasis as the Supersonic stars delivered an electrifying set, packed with energy and nostalgia.
Taking to social media to share their reactions, many reckoned the gig was the ‘greatest rock n roll show of all time’ as they praised the ‘momentous’ occasion.
Comments included: “LIAM SOUNDS SO F****G GOOD!!! OASIS ARE BACK. THIS IS BETTER THAN JESUS’ RETURN!!” as another dramatically declared: “I died and ascended to a new plane.”
Also enjoying the gig was Noel’s daughter, Anais, who looked like she’d had a whale of a time as she posted a snap of herself with a pint of beer, wearing an Oasis shirt.
Captioning the photo, she simply wrote: “It’s great to be back” as many other fans agreed.
However, the 25-year-old’s mum, Meg Matthews, who was also at the concert, left before Noel came back on stage to perform Wonderwall, which was written for Meg by her ex when they were together.
Noel had originally claimed he’d written it on a rainy Tuesday night for his then girlfriend. Back in 1996, he said: “It’s about my girlfriend, Meg Mathews. She had a company which folded and she was feeling a bit sorry for herself. The sentiment is that there was no point in her feeling down, she has to sort my life out for me because I was in bits at the time.”
