An Oasis fan bemoaned young women buying tickets for their Britpop heroes and this A++ comeback got a standing ovation
There is of course an Oasis fan of a certain age who will be super excited about the reunion of Liam and Noel Gallager for a 14-date tour of the UK and Ireland announced today.
The guns have fallen silent.
The stars have aligned.
The great wait is over.
Come see.
It will not be televised. pic.twitter.com/u1Mge33poT— Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) August 27, 2024
And when we say Oasis fan of a certain age, we obviously mean this.

But it’s not just people who might not have had the chance to see them first time round who will be buying tickets. Some of them might actually be young and – gasp – some of them might also be women.
And we say that because it was an issue highlighted by this Oasis fan – well, we presume they are a fan – over on Twitter.
And we’re glad they did – sort of – because it got lots of very funny and totally on-point responses.
Why are you gatekeeping Oasis LMAO

@NoelGallagher please find someone called Chloe who is 21 and from Stockport, and give them a free ticket.

Why is a new generation of fans less deserving? It was teens listening the first time around too

Imagine Chloe from Stockport knowing the lyrics to every song but never having had the opportunity to see Oasis live last time round. apparently less deserving than you, securing tickets over you!! You never been to see a band that were big when you weren’t old enough

Yeh, they should have reserved your ticket for you special, because you're the most important oasis fan there's ever been

But surely no-one said it better than this exchange which began like this.
One of Liams main reasons for wanting it back is for the newer generation to experience it live but Billy, 45 from Ireland would cry his eyes out if he misses out on tickets

To which @BillyCorcoran replied that they’re only 30.
I’m not having that! I’m 30.
