Liam Gallagher Confronts Fan Over Flare at Melbourne Oasis Show
Oasis’ highly anticipated reunion tour took a dramatic turn during their Melbourne performance when a fan ignited flares in the crowd at the finale of "Champagne Supernova." What was meant to be a euphoric experience for 50,000 fans became a chaotic and tense moment.
Flare Incident During Closing Song
During the first of three sold-out concerts at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, two red flares streaked across the packed floor section as the band finished their 1996 hit. Audience members described seeing “flashes that looked like fire” before the smoke dissipated.
Security and Safety Measures
Despite security performing bag checks and wand scans before entry, it remains unknown how the flares entered the venue. Stadium officials reported no injuries and confirmed that additional security precautions would be implemented for the following shows.
Fan Reaction and Liam’s Response
“At first, I thought it was part of the show,” said Brad Bultman, an Oasis superfan who queued all day for a front-row spot. “Then somebody picked up the live flare and threw it again — I just hoped no one was hurt.”
Liam Gallagher directed an intense, profanity-filled rant at the fan responsible, reflecting his frustration over the unsafe disruption during the concert.
