The First Oasis Shows In America In 16 Years Have Been Nothing Short Of BIBLICAL

This past week, Liam and Noel Gallagher took the stage in America for the first time in over 16 years; first in Chicago at Soldier Field on Thursday, and then two nights at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday/Monday. Going into the North American leg of the tour, there was a lot of talk about whether or not the crowds would live up to the high bar that the UK set....

After attending all three Stateside shows, I can confidently say that these crowds lived up to the hype and then some. It might not've been quite on level with the lunatics overseas, but I've been to hundreds of concerts in my life and have NEVER seen anything like what we just experienced in America....

Everyone had smiles on their faces, emanating good vibes and a sense of community in this fanbase, and everyone felt like we were witnessing history together - because we were. This tour is going to go down in the rock n’ roll record books instantly, and not only for the boatloads of money the Gallaghers must be raking in; every ‘Live 25’ review you read is more positive than the last! Snobby music journalists can’t even deny the magic unfolding on that stage every night! Oasis have never sounded better.

Don’t just take my word for it either - talk to anyone who went to these shows! I’ve yet to find a disappointed customer, and almost everyone I’ve discussed these gigs with describe it as a mind-blowing experience, many of which are calling it the best show they’ve ever been to. In this cynical ass world where everyone wants to be “too cool” for everything, do you realize how rare that is?!
