Oasis Brings Euphoric Energy to Marvel Stadium in Melbourne
G'day Australia, did you miss us? The iconic British rock band's world reunion tour kicked off with a sold-out show at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, leaving fans beaming. In their first Australian gig since 1998, the Gallaghers brought an unmistakable swagger and infectious energy to the stage.
A sea of enthusiastic fans packed into the stadium, many of whom were born after Oasis's initial visit to Australia but never got the chance to see them live. It was clear that this show was a moment of lifetime for many in attendance. "I never thought this was going to happen," Liam Gallagher told The Guardian before the show, expressing his surprise and excitement about playing in Australia again.
For others, like Ali and Anna, their parents' affection for Oasis had been passed down through generations. They seized tickets for $115, significantly cheaper than dynamic pricing suggested elsewhere in the country. Their friends may have envied them, however – "I hate you," a younger relative jokingly joked on social media, having missed out on the opportunity to attend.
Sharon, another die-hard Oasis fan who had waited 27 years to see them live, admitted that she booked accommodation in London just for the possibility of getting tickets. When they announced their reunion show, her excitement was rekindled: "I am ecstatic. I told my husband, if they ever get back together, I don't care what it costs me."
Their music, however, remains timeless. As Liam aptly observed during Champagne Supernova, fans are no longer just 'classic glue sniffers' – the audience sang along to hits like What's the Story (Morning Glory)? and Wonderwall. The Oasis effect is still as potent in Australia today.
Despite being 50 now, the Gallaghers appear to have mellowed out slightly, adopting a cheeky friendliness that has endeared fans even more. Noel, ever the wit, couldn't resist poking fun at Australian slang during Don't Look Back At Anger. Liam quipped about local drug habits but later showed appreciation by dedicating Bring It On Down to the 'classic glue sniffers' – a nod to their dedicated fanbase.
As for this reunion show's grand finale, it featured full bear hugs and warm farewells from the brothers as they left the stage after an electrifying performance. The anticipation for what comes next is palpable; with 41 dates on the tour ahead of them, who knows when Oasis might return to Australia again?
