Details of the Incident
At the Marvel Stadium show, the first of three sold-out nights, two red flares were launched across the crowded floor section just as Oasis finished their 1996 hit. Audience members reported seeing “flashes that looked like fire” before the smoke quickly cleared.

- Stadium officials confirmed no injuries occurred and announced enhanced security for upcoming shows.

“At first, I thought it was part of the show,” said Brad Bultman, an Oasis superfan who queued from dawn for a front-row spot. “Then somebody picked up the live flare and threw it again — I just hoped no one was hurt.”
Liam Gallagher responded with a forceful and explicit rebuke directed at the individual responsible, highlighting the seriousness of the disruption during the reunion tour’s opening night.
