Oasis' Liam Gallagher Condemns Flare Incident in Melbourne
During the first of their Australian concerts, Oasis faced a dangerous situation when a flare was launched into the crowd at their October 31st sold-out show in Melbourne. The event took place at Marvel Stadium as part of a three-show engagement.
Details of the Incident
As the band closed their performance with "Champagne Supernova," at least one flare was thrown into the stadium. Concertgoer Brad Bultman shared his experience with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, initially mistaking the flare for part of the planned pyrotechnic display.
“Then very quickly I saw it explode and expand a bit further, and then somebody actually pick up the live flair and toss it back in the air and created more fire and smoke in a different area,” Bultman recounted. “I was like, ‘Oh geez’ — you hope nobody gets hurt.”
Liam Gallagher's Reaction
Gallagher’s first response during the concert was to mildly scold the culprit, telling the crowd "naughty, naughty, naughty." However, his tone sharpened in a post-show message on X (formerly Twitter), where he used strong language to condemn the individual responsible.
“To the massive CUNT who launched that flare into the crowd last night at the gig in Melbourne you are 1 seriously fucked up individual and you will get yours trust me,” Gallagher wrote.
Summary
The flare incident at the Melbourne Oasis show caused fear among attendees and drew a fierce public reprimand from Liam Gallagher, emphasizing the seriousness of such reckless actions.
