Liam Gallagher seemed to address reports that tensions are brewing behind the scenes of Oasis’s highly anticipated reunion tour.
The Britpop legends are gearing up for their first tour since they split in 2009, which kicks off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on July 4 and includes dates across the UK, Ireland, Asia and the Americas.
But ahead of the sell-out comeback, crew members have allegedly been left upset over claims they won’t be given free tickets for friends and family, a long-standing industry perk for touring staff.
“The crew will be travelling around the country with the band, setting up the venues, and will be on hand throughout the concerts in case they are needed,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“They’ll be away from their family and are usually given tickets to invite them down to join them at one of the shows. But the Gallagher brothers have banned any free tickets being given out.
“The crew are all fuming. Many of them have toured with other big-name artists and have never known anything like it. All Oasis seem to care about is making as much money as they can. Is this about fans, or is the truth that it’s all about the money?”
In response to the alleged upset, Liam, 52, seemingly addressed the reports on X, formerly Twitter, with a typically cheeky post.
He quipped: “Our crew members don’t have friends and there wife’s and husbands are glad to see the f**king backs of them and tell me n rkid everytime we see them they don’t know how we put up with them on a daily basis let alone go around the f**king world with them fyi.” [sic]
Amidst the report, demand for Live '25 remains sky-high.
The band recently announced a limited batch of additional tickets will be released ahead of the first show.
The world tour is set to wrap in São Paulo, Brazil, on November 23.
A statement posted to the band's official website on Wednesday read: “As the shows are getting closer, Oasis promoters may be able to release a very limited number of additional tickets for sale once final sight lines are checked and the production is fine tuned.
“These final production releases will happen over the coming days.”
