Liam Gallagher Condemns Flares at Melbourne Concert

During Oasis' sold-out Oct. 31 concert at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium, about 55,000 attendees saw one or more flares launched into the crowd as the band closed with "Champagne Supernova." Footage showed a flare land on the packed floor and flames briefly burn before being contained; witnesses said the flashes looked like fires and at least one attendee reported seeing two flares, prompting some concertgoers to leave early. Stadium staff said security acted quickly and no one was injured, the patron who threw the flare was not found, and Victoria Police said the incident had not been reported to them and there were no arrests. Liam Gallagher scolded the culprit onstage ("naughty, naughty, naughty") and later posted on X calling the person "a seriously fucked up individual" and using the term "massive c***," warning "you will get yours," while Noel Gallagher appeared concerned and many fans expressed outrage online. Marvel Stadium said bag searches and wanding had been in place and that security would be increased for subsequent Melbourne shows; Oasis will continue the Australian leg with further Melbourne dates and upcoming shows in Sydney.
