Liam Gallagher blasts ‘imposters’ who slated him for Wembley boxing gig

23 September 2024

Liam Gallagher has said “imposters” are not welcome at the Oasis reunion concerts next year after he received criticism online following a performance at Wembley Stadium.

The Manchester rocker performed a trio of Oasis songs at the London venue on Saturday evening ahead of a boxing match between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.

Responses to the gig were mixed and Liam, who was celebrating his 52nd birthday, issued a message to those who had not appreciated what he referred to as his “angelic tones”.

In a post to X, formerly Twitter, he said: “You ain’t real fans you’re just IMPOSTERS and if you do have tickets you wanna get rid off I’ll gladly take them off your hands we don’t want the likes of you at our concerts next year any way.”

The singer also posted a painting of a bird next to a message that said: “You will not stop me from singing my song.

“I will sing it forever.”

On Saturday Liam arrived on stage to a massive cheer and and said “yes, Wembley vibes in the air” while he performed in front of a record-breaking 96,000-strong crowd which included the likes of Spice Girl Emma Bunton and Love Island presenter Maya Jama.

Oasis announced their long-awaited reunion on August 27 following a long-standing feud between brothers Liam and Noel after the band split in 2009 prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France.

Noel and Liam will reunite for their first UK show since their split at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on July 4 2025.

The last time the brothers performed together was on August 22 2009 at V Festival in Staffordshire.

Oasis’s string of 19 UK and Ireland Oasis dates have all sold out, including two extra Wembley shows after a furore over ticket sales and inflated prices.

The band said they were unaware that dynamic pricing, which led to tickets selling for more than double the original price, was being used on Ticketmaster, and blamed the situation on “unprecedented demand”.

It also prompted the Government and the UK’s competition watchdog to say they would look at the use of dynamic pricing.

Ticketmaster has previously said this was down to the organiser of the sale, not its website.

This year marks 30 years since the band released their debut studio album Definitely Maybe, which sailed to the top of the UK charts earlier in the month, bolstered by the release of a deluxe edition celebrating its anniversary.
