Oasis is a overraktes band. It bas few hits and so on. So I Will not miss Them at all.

I on the other hand, will miss them entirely. But I suspect we hold the same sentiment.

Good time to open a number of
bucket-hat shops across UK & Ireland ......

It won’t be the coked-up, lager drinking, bucket hat wearing, urine-throwing that will ruin it… it’ll be the bloody mobile phones…
That was the beauty of seeing them the first time round… no poxy phones ruining gigs

Bloody rights !! hopefully they get to the Northwest for a gig... Seattle or Vancouver

Oasis reportedly disliked grunge and the Seattle scene, so don't get your hopes up. Also lack of population density compared to the East Coast or SoCal.

Would like to see a Vancouver gig but realistically, it wouldn't be a big seller. When I saw them in 08 there was perhaps 9000 in the crowd.

The Guardian writes they could make up to 400M£ on the 14 UK dates alone. It seems a bit optimistic. But who knows ! I would have bet on 265M£.

Oasis were quite popular in Japan throughout their career. In fact, Japan is the third country next to Britain and America in terms of the number of performances they played. Saw them 9 times myself, 1994-2009. Can’t say I don’t like them.

That being said, I have never felt their show stellar, spine-tingling, life-changing, transcendental, out of this world, on another level etc. Just an entertaining rock show, nothing more, nothing less.

There is nothing special or innovative in their music, either. The bulk of their material is an unashamed rehash of the 60s and 70s British rock/pop, so much so that it almost feels like derivative. I can’t regard them in the same light as their forerunners who started copying American blues and rock ‘n roll, digesting the influences, developing and eventually establishing their own style, e.g. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

I often wonder if the cause of Oasis’ meteoric rise to stardom in the 90s’ Britain was the void in the music scene, a human nature that makes do with a substitute if there is nothing worthwhile around.

It’s only rock ‘n roll…definitely maybe.

THE AUSTRALIAN --- 29 August 2024



ROCKMAN

They have just added an extra three dates for London, Manchester and Edinburgh...before any tickets have even gone on sale. Word is they have holds for ten more dates if required (Cardiff is going to need more shows for sure). Insane.

I wonder whether these U.K. dates will have an effect on any possible plans the Stones may have for U.K. dates next year?

There's nothing new in the music of Oasis, but Noel has a fantastic feel for melodies that work in big stadiums. Melodies that on the first hearing sounds like you have always known them. Melodies you want to get drunk to and sing along with during a soccer match. A low-class workers mix of Beatles and Sex Pistols.

All reasons why Americans don't understand Oasis.

That will be based on the numbers signing up for the presale. Cardiff is my top pick for a place to see them. By far the best large stadium in UK imho.

I checked on Booking, and there is no hotel room left in Cardiff on July 4/5. If you want to sleep with 8 other people in a dorm you have to pay 450 euro...

By now it's indie nostalgia. They were the biggest indie rock band. At least in the UK and parts of Europe (like here in Sweden). It's the generation born in the 70s turn to celebrate their youth now. And they can afford it...

At a time when 'indie rock' was unquestionably the most popular genre in the U.K. 'Brit-Pop' was a huge phenomenon; and Oasis and Blur were the heart of it. Of course, Oasis were - and are - far more than Brit-Pop. I'm an 'early millennial', so perhaps have a different kind of nostalgia for Oasis, compared to a Generation X fan. Knebworth '96 was epic beyond comparison.

Another original member of Oasis will be on the tour:
Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs*, this is magnificent.!!!

Oh, that'll be great. Maybe this'll prompt Noel to play a little more lead-guitar. What I liked about the onstage dynamics of Bonehead and Noel, is that the former would bang-away on the barre chords, allowing Noel to solo away. When Gem Archer - a more 'technically-gifted' musician - replaced Bonehead, Noel took a definite step-back with the 'lead-guitar' duties; often designated his own, self-penned lead-lines to Gem. With the High Flying Birds, the sole 'solo' he tackles is his signature effort, Don't Look Back In Anger. It's a shame, as Noel's a great lead-guitarist.

Not a problem for me personally as Cardiff is only 80 miles away and an easy day trip. For those not in that position, I recommend staying in another Welsh town or city with a rail connection to Cardiff such as Newport or Swansea and travelling in on the day. There are usually late trains to all these places after events at the stadium, which is right next to Cardiff Central Station. It's an excellent venue all round for sound, proximity of city centre and accessibility.

Think I'm the same age as you Al (1982), and I agree. Oasis quickly became a U2 or Stones for the 90's, at least in Europe, UK and SA. US catched on but not as fast, though now there are rumours about Rose Bowl and Soldier Field! I saw them first time in 96 in Stockholm, 3 days before the Knebworth shows. The only band that has giving me the same feeling are The Stones. Liams banter was hilarious that night and my little brother (12 at the time)ended up getting interviewed in the biggest newspaper in Sweden before the show. I was at the front but he was too small for FOS so got relegated to carry two big Oasis posters during the whole gig. I owe him about 100 beers for that come to think about it

Get out of here with that bullshit. Oasis isn’t/wasn’t quite as revered here in the US, so that means we clearly don’t “understand” Oasis? Nah, maybe you don’t understand how someone isn’t totally enamored with a band that you are, and that’s ok. Don’t make it personal.

By today's standards, that's actually quite reasonable. It remains to be seen how many seats are available to buy at those prices.

I agree Cardiff is the best stadium and it's early in the run - so less time for them to have had a dreadful fight and cancel! - but the lack of places to sleep is an issue! I was all set to go for Cardiff and travel but at least in London I don't have to find a bed/pay a fortune to price gouging hotels.

Find a hotel near a station on the South Wales intercity line - Newport, Swansea, Bridgend, take your pick. Or indeed any live feeding into Cardiff with services running after the show, which will end not later than 10.30. At Cardiff Central station they organise queues for different destinations. I saw it in operation after the Stones in 2018 and it looked well organised.

If all else fails, try these guys. They're a little pricey but far cheaper than getting a hotel. There's always a way
