Liam Gallagher Blasts Fan Who Set off Flares at Oasis Concert

Liam Gallagher lambasted a fan who launched flares during Oasis’ Melbourne, Australia show at Marvel Stadium on Friday, calling the person a “seriously fucked up individual” in a social media post about the incident.

“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 posted on social platform X following their performance.

The flares were launched during the band’s “Champagne Supernova” finale at the first date of their Australian run of their tour. (They perform tonight, Nov. 1, and Nov. 4 at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, before heading to Sydney to play Accor Stadium on Nov. 7 and Nov. 8.)

In video footage filmed during the sold-out show, a flare can be seen going up in the air, appearing to be launched from within the crowd, and then it landed into the crowd who were in the floor section. Flames ignited in the area shortly after. Then, another flare can be seen going up and landing in the crowd nearby.

According to one concertgoer, there were two flares they witnessed going off. The attendee identified as Virginia, told Australian outlet news.com.au, that she saw one flash, and then shortly after another one was set off.

“Each time you saw this flash, it looked like a fire, and then it was contained fairly quickly,” Virginia, who attended the band’s debut Australian concert with her family, told the outlet.

She added: “I was there with my 13-year-old daughter, so once that went off, I thought it was bad and thought we’ll just leave before the end of the song and try and get outside.”

It’s unclear how the flares were brought into the stadium. Virginia confirmed to news.com.au that security checked bags and that concertgoers were scanned before entering the venue.

According to 9 News in Australia, police in Victoria — the state in which Melbourne is located — said the incident was not reported and that there were no arrests. Marvel Stadium told 9 News that no one was harmed. “We’ll leave the on record comments to Liam Gallagher’s post,” the venue added.
