Liam Gallagher Criticizes Fan Over Flare Incident at Oasis Melbourne Show
During Oasis’s highly anticipated reunion tour in Melbourne, Liam Gallagher publicly scolded a fan for launching a flare into the crowd, turning a celebration into a moment of alarm. The show, held at Marvel Stadium, marked the first of three sold-out nights, drawing around 50,000 fans.
The trouble began during the band’s closing number, Champagne Supernova, when two red flares were reportedly fired across the floor section. Witnesses described seeing flashes that “looked like fire” before thick smoke drifted away. The disruption briefly halted the performance as confusion spread through the crowd.
“At first, I thought it was part of the show,” said Brad Bultman, an Oasis superfan who had queued since dawn for a front-row spot. “Then somebody picked up the live flare and threw it again — I just hoped no one was hurt.”
Security checks, including bag inspections and metal detectors, were conducted at the gates, though officials have not yet determined how the flares were brought inside. A stadium spokesperson confirmed no injuries occurred and promised stricter security protocols for upcoming shows.
Gallagher responded on stage with his usual fiery tone, expressing anger and disbelief at the reckless act but quickly regained control of the show, thanking the crowd for their dedication amid the chaos.
