Oasis reunion

[BlueHammer85]

I wish there were more fun sponges out there raring to tell us how much they don't like Oasis and how over rated they are. When so many people are excited about something they harmlessly enjoy, please, make it about YOU. The world needs to hear your negative thoughts, don't dare live and let live when the subject of music is concerned.

Yes, Please also remind us how much better Prodigy are live and how you and your mates had no trouble getting tickets back in the day.

There’s a few who won’t have seen the thread yet who’ll keep you going for a while yet mate ;)

I saw Oasis live at Maine Road too and thought they were awesome. I wasn’t trying to belittle Oasis!

Loved em back in the day.

Mike West was recently over and apparently a willingness to do a few gigs was expressed by some of the band.

They are now trying to sort a date and venue (looking at deaf institite, N&D or yes) if they can sort then a runion gig is on for next year

If it happens I will be my gig of the year nothing will be more looked forwatd to

So how many dates do we all think theyll do at each venue, i think at least 8 nights at heaton park

I would say 6 at heaton park
Friday, Saturday, Sunday each week

That’s would be about 420,000 tickets just in manchester

then you have Wembley as well

I never really warmed to Blur, always seemed a bit too Chas and Dave for me? But as you say it would be pretty boring if we all liked the same thing?

I always considered Blur to be a Kinks tribute act.

i think across the uk there will be upwards of 1.5m tickets in total so while it will be tough i dont think entirely impossible

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Quite a few housands. No need for exaggeration.

There's no live film.

Yet

You're so gullible, will be a few hundred.

Applied for a ballot that supposedly gives you priority booking, but yet to receive a confirmation email. Saturday is going to be a nightmare.

 

[KS55]

I’ve never been a fan, but my son was/is. FOC.

Anyome sweating over tickets or even buying them when they go on sale need not worry.
Last time they played Heaton Park, the touts were lining up on the road where the direct busses from town were pulling up at.
Me and my (then 14 year old) daughter got off the bus and the touts approached us, all offering £40 or £45 tickets (can't recall which one) for £15 each.
Same will happen this time too. All the trendies caught up in the hype "look at me I got tickets".
Then come July they can't be arsed / booked a holiday / going to a wedding and offloading the tickets along with many others and the price tumbles.

I always considered Blur to be a Kinks tribute act.

Blur were very much shapeshifters.
"Leisure" was generic "baggy" indie.
"Modern Life is Rubbish" was influenced by The Kinks, the Small Faces and Pink Floyd amongst others.
"Parklife" was a more polished version of MLIR but had a bit of a New Wave influence too on some tracks.
"The Great Escape" was a tad over produced and a bit more pop, but channelled Madness at times.
"Blur" was a big return to form influenced by American indie bands like Pavement.
"13" was Damon's break up album but was a bit experimental in parts.
Not sure what they were trying to achieve on "Think Tank" or "Magic Whip" to be honest, but "The Ballad of Darren" was a massive return to form.
Whatever you think of them, Damon is a great lyricist, Graham quite a unique guitarist, and quite unusually these days, have retained their original line up except a brief time when Graham quit around the Think Tank tour.
