Oasis performs in Chicago, IL, on Thursday, August 28, 2025.
The incident occurred during "Champagne Supernova," when two flares were seen flying into the floor section of the sold-out stadium.
Liam Gallagher has called out a fan who launched flares into the crowd during Oasis’ opening Australian tour stop at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on Friday night (Nov. 1), describing the individual as a “seriously f**ked up” person in a profanity-laced post on social media.
The incident occurred during the final song of the night, “Champagne Supernova,” when two flares were seen flying into the densely packed floor section of the sold-out stadium.
One concertgoer told Australian outlet news.com.au that the flares sparked visible flashes among the crowd. “Each time you saw this flash, it looked like a fire, and then it was contained fairly quickly,” said Virginia, who attended the show with her 13-year-old daughter. The pair exited the venue early due to safety concerns.
Security reportedly conducted thorough bag checks at the gate, though it remains unclear how the flares entered the venue or whether any injuries occurred. Marvel Stadium has yet to comment.
Gallagher, never one to mince words, addressed the flare-thrower directly on Saturday morning.
“To the massive C*** who launched that flare into the crowd last night at the gig in Melbourne you are 1 seriously f***ed up individual and you will get yours trust me,” the singer he wrote on X.
During the performance, fans say Liam was visibly displeased, reportedly wagging his finger and mouthing “naughty, naughty” from the stage. His brother Noel Gallagher appeared concerned, though the band did not stop the performance. It is unclear if there were any injuries as a result of the incident.
The Melbourne concert marked the first show of Oasis’ long-awaited Live 25 reunion tour Down Under. The group is scheduled to play three shows at Marvel Stadium before heading to Sydney’s Accor Stadium for two nights.
Before taking the stage, Liam greeted fans with, “G’day Australia! Did you miss us? Because we missed you!” The sold-out show drew massive crowds, with fans queuing from 5 a.m. to secure front-row spots and breaking into spontaneous singalongs outside the venue.
The Live 25 tour sees Noel and Liam Gallagher reuniting alongside Gem Archer, Andy Bell, and drummer Joey Waronker. Mike Moore is filling in for original guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, who is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
