In a behind-the-scenes look at the Australian reunion tour of Oasis, Ball Park Music takes fans on an intimate journey through the highs and lows of opening for one of the most influential bands of all time. The latest installment in Live Nation's Soundcheck series provides an exclusive glimpse into the Brisbane five-piece's experience supporting the iconic Britpop outfit.
As the cameras capture every moment from soundcheck to showtime, Ball Park Music navigates the intense pace of stadium production, performs for tens of thousands of adoring fans, and watches as Oasis delivers a seamless set that leaves the crowd electrified. The band – who have long cited Oasis as a formative influence – reflects on the surreal nature of sharing the stage with their musical heroes.
"It's hard to even describe what it feels like to open for Oasis," the band members confess in the episode. "We've all grown up with their music and to suddenly be standing there, playing before them, it's surreal. You can feel the crowd buzzing from the moment you walk out. It's a mix of nerves and pure joy. Nights like that remind you why you started playing music in the first place."
The Oasis tour itself has been one of the most anticipated live music events of 2025, prompting rapid sellouts across multiple cities and adding extra dates to meet demand. For Ball Park Music, the run marks a significant step up following a strong year that included major touring and chart success.
The Soundcheck episode offers a candid look at the realities and emotions of opening for one of the most culturally dominant bands of the '90s and 2000s. By providing an unvarnished glimpse into the world of live performance culture, Live Nation's series continues to captivate audiences with its raw, unfiltered portrayal of artists on stage.

. So Ball Park Music gets this huge opportunity to open for Oasis and it's like a dream come true, right? But have you ever noticed how we tend to focus on the highs and forget about the lows? Like, sure they're having an amazing time, but what about all the nerves and pressure that comes with performing in front of tens of thousands of people? It's like, they're chasing that feeling of pure joy, but also dealing with the reality of being on stage.
I'm so stoked for Ball Park Music! Opening for Oasis is like a dream come true and I can only imagine how surreal it must've been for them. They've always been huge fans, so to get to share the stage with their heroes is just amazing. It's like they're living their childhood fantasies or something

BUT SERIOUSLY, IT'S COOL TO SEE THEM CHATTING ABOUT HOW MUCH OASIS INSPIRED THEM AND ALL. I LOVE HOW THEY'RE JUST HONEST ABOUT FEELING A MIX OF NERVES AND JOY WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING FOR SUCH A HUGE CROWD! 
, but at the same time it's amazing to see their passion shine through. And let's be real, Oasis is iconic 
. I mean don't get me wrong, their music is alright, but it's not like it's still relevant today 
. The fact that Ball Park Music is opening for them must be super flattering, but at the same time, they're basically just a support act 
.
do you think its crazy that ball park music is citing oasis as a formative influence on them it feels so surreal to me if i'm being honest
But at the same time, it's amazing to see them feed off that energy and perform on stage. I'm a fan of Ball Park Music already, but this docu-series has only increased my appreciation for their music. Can't wait for more episodes! 
They're literally a band that changed the music scene forever! I've been listening to their songs since I was in school and it's crazy how much of an influence they are. The Soundcheck series is always so cool, but this one is like, totally epic! 
I'm sure we've all had those moments where we're just trying to soak it all in and not mess up on stage. 
I mean on one hand it's amazing that these legends are getting back together and still killing it after all these years, but on another hand I feel bad for the opening act ball park music they're having to open for such a huge name... I guess it's a great opportunity for them though to learn from the pros and get some exposure 
I'm curious to see how ball park music holds up under that kind of pressure 
. The Soundcheck series is always so on point, it's like we get to see behind-the-scenes magic 
. Can't wait to watch this episode and see what it's like for Ball Park Music to perform with the legends
