You really think a bit of dancing, some light shows, visuals other than a live stream of the band would have been too much to ask for at a ludicrously expensive comeback gig? Their presentation and staging just came across lazy like most things surrounding this cash grab tour.

Well, yeah. It’s for oasis fans. at these prices it’s really not for the casually interested. If you prefer more elaborate music and entertainment then it’s not the gig for you.

It’s absolutely not for me, I can’t stand the band, but all the nonsense and bluster around it has been quite fascinating - there’s more than a touch of Emperors new clothes to it, but that makes it even more interesting to watch from afar as people get excited about two brothers finally bonding over making £20m each in a summer 🤣

I'm not even an Oasis fan, and the answer is obviously yes for the dancing part.

 

That'd have gone down as badly as if they'd sprayed the contents of a long drop across the crowd.

Multiply that a few times.

What a great post, thanks. I’d never have gotten away with it. 
 

100% emperor’s new clothes, not just the tour, their whole career

Oasis are dull, that ain’t my fault

Choreography though.

There's level to this in between standing around looking all miserable and flying in on  zip wire. Some choreography wouldn't have gone a miss though.

 

I think I would piss myself laughing if they had choreography. Some one please make it happen, obviously after the gig I am going to as I don't want to soil myself in public.

 

The thought of that of them dancing in time has put a smile on my face.

Twickets "low availability" meaning no availability is the new two green bars of death

In a week that saw me do Glastonbury, Lana and first night at Oasis, alongside Sabrina at Hyde Park - here are some photos I shot from night 1 of Oasis in Cardiff

Would you be expecting Liam to fly into the stadium on a zip wire like P!nk or something?
 

 

Well obviously I really want this to happen now and I'm not even going

Can we have fireworks involved somehow too please?

Wouldn't 100% rule out fireworks or even that drone show at Heaton Park.

 

Obviously the roof being closed at Cardiff made it impossible there.

I was thinking specifically relating to Liam on a zip wire 

Maybe like firework up the bum got from Euro 2020

Yes it would have been stupid. I’m now convinced you’re just a wind up merchant.

Question for locals or regular Heaton park attendees: although there is no official drop off area (and official lines talk about shuttles, trams, walking from town), what is the closest I can get before I am likely to hit restrictions? Looking to drop my daughter and her mate off on Friday and her mate is recovering from a broken foot - still in a supporting boot but can walk a little bit. 

[Justcalledtosay]

Choreography 🤣 ...best thing i've read on here for a while.

 

I don't suppose anyone has seen the size of the pit at Heaton Park yet? Little worried it's going to be a monster.

Secondly, any thoughts on where to park? I haven't been to Heaton Park since their last gig in 2009. I'm coming in from the Leeds end if that helps.

I personally thought the staging was great - the classic Oasis logo flown above the stage was simple but striking, while the enormous downstage screens didn't just show a live stream of the concert but great visuals with live elements embedded. 

 

The aesthetic during Champagne Supernova was sublime, as was the post-gig sunset.

 

This is Oasis - they're never going to dance around or do choreographed steps and would have been ridiculed if they'd done so. Instead it was just a great Oasis stadium performance with a killer setlist and slick modern visuals - perfect for me.

There is some road closure info on here. Might help you?

I had a plan of jumping on the tram well before the masses. Looks like that's out of the window with tram works, unless I'm missing something - Bury line only going from Market St or Victoria - that'll be an absolute zoo

Exactly what they said, no bells and whistles more than getting out there and doing it.

Thought of Liam and Noel moving round the stage like Confidence Man has sent me

They also need a "Wellend Cam" section where the camera zooms in on someone in the crowd dancing like Rhys Ifans in the Importance of Being Idle video

[mufcok]

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with it as the days go on, I'm gonna bit a state on Saturday.

 

Much like the Roses - I didn't really crave it... until it happened. Now I can't stop grinning
