Liam Gallagher, the iconic frontman of Oasis, expressed his disapproval after a fan hurled a flare during the band’s inaugural performance in Australia. The incident occurred at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium while the band was performing their classic, “Champagne Supernova.”
As the flare made its way into the audience, Gallagher was quick to condemn the action, reportedly labeling it as “naughty, naughty, naughty” in front of the crowd. The alarming scene was captured in footage shared widely on social media, showing the fiery disturbance among concertgoers.
Taking to social media platform X, Gallagher didn’t hold back his frustration, addressing the perpetrator with strong words: “To the massive [expletive] who launched that flare into the crowd last night at the gig in Melbourne, you are one seriously [expletive] up individual and you will get yours, trust me.”
The reaction from fans was equally critical, with many expressing their outrage on Reddit. The act was widely condemned, with users dubbing the culprit a “scumbag” and “moron.” One concerned fan commented, “Hope everyone was okay where it landed and no one got badly burnt,” reflecting the shared sentiment of worry for audience safety.
Fans on Reddit called it a “scumbag” act and called the people “morons”.
“Hope everyone was okay where it landed and no one got badly burnt,” one fan said.
“They could have burnt some poor girls face. Hope they get arrested and banned from gigs,” another said.
In 2019 a fan at an Oasis concert in Sheffield in the UK was burned by a flare.
Victoria Police said the incident has not been reported to them and there were no arrests.
Marvel Stadium told 9News no one was harmed, adding: “We’ll leave the on record comments to Liam Gallagher’s post.”
The band will play two more shows in the Victorian capital tonight and on Tuesday.
Oasis will then fly to Sydney for two shows at Accor Stadium, on Friday and next Saturday.
