LONDON — Oasis fans seeking tickets to the band’s reunion tour endured hourslong waits, and in some cases disappointment, as online platforms strained under demand Saturday from hundreds of thousands of fans. The Britpop-era behemoth led by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher is scheduled to play 17 gigs — its first shows for 15 years — in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin starting July 4.
Oasis split in 2009, with Noel Gallagher quitting the band after a backstage dustup with his brother at a festival near Paris. While the Gallagher brothers, now aged 57 and 51, haven’t performed together since, both regularly perform Oasis songs at their solo gigs. They’ve also each fired off criticisms of the other in the press. Announcing the reunion, the band said fans would experience “the spark and intensity” that occurs only when they appear on stage together.
