Oasis reunion

[M18CTID]

Been told its £135 a ticket..

With booking fees, etc, could be looking north of £150 then

Never listen to the band, maybe heard it on the radio.

I’ve been to a few open air gigs and never enjoyed one. The sound is just lost to the sky.

I don’t even really like stadium gigs that much. The stands and roof hold the sound in a bit. Only thing is, those stands and rooves, with the speakers dotted about, make the sound bounce around the stadium so you hear your nearest speaker first, then other speakers within split seconds of each other - plus 60,000 people belting songs out at the top of their voices - so it sounds shite.

Unfortunately, they’re never going to do 200 nights at the Ritz.

I've been to loads at Lancs and most have been bang on. Also saw Foo Fighters at Milton Keynes Bowl which was decent. However, I've heard that Heaton Park isn't the best open air venue.

I do agree with you a lot about stadium gigs though. The sound can often be all over the place depending on where you are in the stadium

Missed a trick not pricing it at £115

Yes I just don't go to outdoor gigs at all anymore even bands I like (AC/DC) don't bother anymore.Not many bands tempt me into arenas either to be honest.

Turgid derivative bland Dad-Rock , a year of hype for the tenth rate Slade at least the manufacturers of bucket hats and Adidas will be happy with the massive increase in samba sales to the middle- aged lemmings, bugger me i'd sooner listen to James Blunt or Nickelback than this grim shite.

See you there mate.

Couldn't find my bucket hat so pinched my 5 yr old daughters to get into the swing of things.............

 

[Stoned Rose]

Does it say anywhere what the band lineup is?

No Liam, no Noel, Tony Mcarroll on drums, guitar and bass.

This is an old photo of my colleague/mate Nigel when he was in Sick 56.

Never understand the need to come on to a thread to bore on with yourself on a subject that clearly irks you.
You seem the sort to listen to james blunt to be honest

And the wife’s sunnies? ;)

[Stoned Rose]

This is fucking enormous for me.

Going to be absolutely fucking biblical.

Don’t care where, don’t care how much.

Must see.

Should have seen my previous ones - I could have been mistaken for Victoria Beckham............

 

[Elbow beards]

How much are we reckoning for a ticket, £150?

 

[trotsky]

Agree about the sound limitations of Heaton Park … should have been the Etihad. So next best for me, will be to try for tickets at the Etihad South. And to continue the retro feel of the day, I’ll have a few tinnies on the Green Man roundabout ;-)

£115.

Going to be worse than trying to get tickets for the Peter Kay tour this one. I'm guessing the ticket site crashes immediately Saturday morning

 

[MrCheeseGrater]

Time to remove the question mark from the thread title!

Buzzing.

I expected them to get back together at some point and I knew I'd want to be there when they did, but I was a bit taken aback by just how captivated I've been about this, from the moment the rumours began to today's confirmation.

Seeing their pictures on the front page of the tabloids wearing City shirts, those teasers about the announcements and the general buzz about it all brought back feelings I'd forgotten from my youth, in the build up to album launches and tour ticket sales.

Growing up in Manchester and as a City fan, the Oasis presence and influence was huge. Their songs have provided the sound track to some of the happiest and some of the saddest moments of my life, thankfully mainly happy and as much as I'm a big music fan in general, no other band comes close to the sentimental or emotional attachment to Oasis.

It is a slight shame that the reunion is overwhelmingly opportunism for the Gallagher's to make an absolute fortune, rather than because they're on good terms again. That said, their volatile relationship and dysfunctional dynamic was a huge part of the band's personality. It added a certain level of anticipation (not always in a good way) wondering whether the gigs would go ahead and they spent large parts of their career barely talking, so it shouldn't make much of a difference at these gigs.

The reunion has made me reflect on some fantastic memories I haven't thought of in a long time and the chance to see them again is exciting for me, as I'm sure it will be for many others who will get chance to do it one last time. For a new generation it's a chance for them to experience it for the first time and make memories of their own, which will be special for them in a different way.

If I'm lucky enough to get a ticket I'll see you a reasonable distance away from the front!
