Oasis<\/a> concluded the first stage of their ongoing reunion tour<\/a> in the UK and Ireland with two concerts in Dublin at the weekend. After less than a week off, they are due to begin the North American in Toronto on Sunday 24 August.<\/p>\n Speaking to talkSPORT hosts Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent in his first interview since the tour began in July<\/a>, Noel said he was \u201ccompletely blown away\u201d by the audience\u2019s reaction to the band.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to put it into words, actually. Every night is the crowd\u2019s first night<\/a>, do you know what I mean? So every night’s got that kind of same energy to it, but it\u2019s been truly amazing. I\u2019m not usually short for words, but I can\u2019t really articulate it at the moment, to be honest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI can’t speak for anyone else, but for me personally, I grossly underestimated what I was getting into. It was kind of, after about five minutes, I was like, \u2018All right, can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again?\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve done stadiums before and all that, but I don\u2019t mind telling you, my legs turned to jelly after about halfway through the second song and I could have done with going back and taking a minute, but it\u2019s been an amazing thing.\u201d<\/p>\n One of the defining bands of the Nineties<\/a>, Oasis split up in 2009<\/a> after Noel quit the band at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, claiming he couldn\u2019t work with his brother Liam \u201ca day longer\u201d.<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Noel Gallagher said his \u201clegs turned to jelly\u201d while playing the first show of the Oasis reunion tour in Cardiff (Big Brother Recordings)<\/p>\n Last year in August, the brothers appeared to have mended their longstanding rift and announced that they would join each other onstage for the Oasis Live 25 tour<\/a> and play a string of shows through 2025. <\/p>\n The band started with shows in Cardiff, then performed to sold-out crowds at Heaton Park<\/a>, Wembley Stadium<\/a>, Murrayfield Stadium, and Croke Park<\/a>. They will next be performing in Canada, the United States and Mexico, return to the UK for two more Wembley shows, and then conclude the tour with Asia-Pacific and South American runs.<\/p>\n On working again with Liam, Noel <\/a>said it was \u201cgreat\u201d being back in the band with him. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s great just to be back in, back with Bonehead and Liam<\/a> and just be doing it again,\u201d he said, referring to guitarist Paul \u201cBonehead\u201d Arthurs.<\/p>\n \u201cI guess when it’s all said and done, we’ll sit and reflect on it. But it\u2019s great being back in the band with Liam. I forgot how funny he was.\u201d<\/p>\n Noel joked that Liam\u2019s voice sounded great because of \u201cAI,\u201d but ultimately said the frontman was \u201csmashing it\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m proud of him. Having fronted a band for 16 years, I know how difficult that is,\u201d Noel said, referring to Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds<\/a>, which he started in 2010 after leaving Oasis. \u201cI couldn\u2019t do the stadium thing like he does it, it\u2019s not in my nature. But I\u2019ve got to say, I kind of look around and I think, good for you, mate. He’s been amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n To a question on what plans the band have after the tour ends <\/a>and if the rumours are true that they will be playing Knebworth Festival next year, Noel chose not to answer by replying: \u201cRight, let\u2019s talk about football.\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Authorities are currently investigating reports that state up to 200 people were able to sneak into the concerts at Wembley Stadium without tickets (Big Brother Recordings)<\/p>\n Authorities are currently investigating reports<\/a> that state up to 200 people were able to sneak into the concerts at Wembley Stadium without tickets. <\/p>\n Tickets sold out in hours when they went on sale last year and the high demand <\/a>resulted in a surge in ticket prices<\/a> and a row over Ticketmaster\u2019s so-called \u201cdynamic pricing\u201d, which the company denied using.<\/a><\/p>\n Reports now state that some concertgoers paid \u00a3350 each to be smuggled into Wembley through a disabled entrance across the five gigs, allegedly using copies of the same ticket to get through security.<\/p>\n A Wembley Stadium spokesperson said in a statement: \u201cEntering Wembley Stadium without a ticket is a serious offence and we are investigating these allegations.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they are substantiated, we will refer our evidence to the police.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79731,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-79730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79730"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79730\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Noel](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LewisEvans1.jpeg\")
