Oasis are back in London for two more incredible shows this weekend, promising to deliver another stellar round of iconic tunes, from 'Wonderwall' to 'Champagne Supernova'.
Two weeks after they ended the North American leg of their tour, Noel and Liam Gallagher fans will descend on Wembley Stadium this Saturday and Sunday night for two sold-out performances.
Some 90,000 fans are expected to attend each of the gigs, which will be the final two shows scheduled to take place in the UK.
To celebrate, London will also welcome two pop-up store locations where fans can stock up on Oasis merchandise, while others will likely be bracing for extra-busy transport routes around the stadium and on the underground.
Once the brothers close Sunday’s show at Wembley, they’ll then be preparing to head to Asia where they have performances scheduled in South Korea and Tokyo, as well as Australia. As expected, all standard tickets for Oasis shows are sold out worldwide.
But it’s not just Oasis fans that are joining in on the fun; it looks like Google has also chimed in to recognise the band’s most famous lyrics.
Google isn’t a stranger to dropping Easter Eggs on its search browser to commemorate significant events and popular topics. For example, when you searched for Lewis Capaldi amid his return to the stage at Glastonbury, a Google message read “welcome back”.
But what have the Googlers got in store for Oasis fans?
Search: Oasis Tour
First up, searching for the words “Oasis Tour” in your Google search bar has surprised some fans, as it reveals our first Easter egg.
In reference to an iconic 1995 tune, the search suggestion under this says “Some might say: madferit.”
For those who aren’t from Manchester, “madferit” is also the colloquial term for “mad for it,” and it’s become synonymous with Oasis over the years.
Of course, the Google Easter egg was warmly welcomed by Oasis fans online.
“This is legit as well,” wrote one fan. “Fair play to Google, quite a joy to see a big company not take themselves too serious for a change.”
Another added: “Easy to hate on Google but they are great at this type of thing.”
A third added: “That's awesome. I presume someone high up on the Alphabet corporate ladder is an Oasis fan.”
Search: Rock N Roll Star
The second Easter egg that Google decided to plant on its search engine was in reference to the famous 1994 track "Rock 'n 'Roll Star" from the "Definitely Maybe" album.
Oasis fans may know that the song includes Liam Gallagher drawing out the lyrics in the chorus, another vocal element that’s become a popular singalong for fans.
So when you put this into Google, the search engine corrects the spelling for you.
“Some might say: rock n roll staaaaaaaaaar,” the Google message reads.
As fans gear up to hear the song live this weekend at Wembley, among a wealth of other iconic tunes, Google’s decision to jump in on the fun has been cheered on by the band’s loyal fanbase.
“This is HYPE on another lever mates,” said another. They’re obviously madferit too.
