Oasis fans left reeling after flare launches mar Oasis concert in Melbourne
A serious incident unfolded during Oasis's sold-out show at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia last Friday night. The band's performance was disrupted by a fan who set off flares into the crowd, sparking a heated reaction from lead singer Liam Gallagher.
Footage of the incident shows two flares being launched into the air, one landing in the crowd and igniting flames before being quickly contained. Eyewitness Virginia described witnessing both flashes, which looked like fires that were extinguished relatively quickly.
Concerned for their family's safety, Virginia stated she was with her 13-year-old daughter when the flare went off, prompting them to consider leaving the venue early. Despite strict security measures in place at the stadium, including bag checks and scanning of concertgoers before entry, it remains unclear how the flares were brought into the venue.
Liam Gallagher expressed his outrage on social media, calling the fan a "seriously fucked up individual" who would "get theirs." While no arrests have been made, police in Victoria confirmed there was an incident but stated it was not reported. Marvel Stadium also commented on the post by Liam Gallagher and said no one was harmed during the event.
In response to the incident, fans left the venue visibly shaken. The flare launches were seen as a serious breach of safety protocol at live music events.

like literally who sets off flares in a crowded concert lol?? Oasis is one of those iconic bands that everyone loves and it's just sad to hear that some fans ruined the experience for others 
. I'm glad no one got hurt tho, that could've been super bad 
. I don't know what was going through that fan's mind but getting " theirs" as Liam said sounds pretty intense 
. security needs to step it up at these events, flares are just so reckless 
.
, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing... like, who does that?! Setting off flares in a crowded stadium is just insane 
. I get it, Oasis fans are passionate, but come on! You're gonna risk someone's life over a song? It's crazy. And what's with the lack of security measures in place? Like, bag checks and scanning aren't enough if you've got some psycho fan trying to cause chaos 
. I'm just waiting for someone to get hurt... it's only a matter of time 
Man, I'm so bummed about what happened at that Oasis concert in Melbourne... it's just not cool when people risk others' safety like that. Flares are super unpredictable and could've easily spread fire or caused panic. I can imagine how freaked out Virginia must have been with her 13-yr-old daughter by her side 
. I hope whoever did this gets caught and gets a serious warning 
. Music events should be fun for everyone, not a breeding ground for trouble 
. I mean, can you imagine if those flares had landed near someone or sparked a bigger fire? It's a miracle nobody was seriously hurt 
- I love how outspoken he is!
. I hope the person responsible gets caught and faces the consequences 
It's a real shame that this incident is going to leave so many fans shaken up and traumatized by their experience.
like wut r they even thinkin?! Oasis concert, not some reckless rave in the middle of nowhere! how was it allowed to happen tho? Melbourne stadium has strict security and all but clearly somethin slipped through the cracks. Liam galters right 2 be mad tho, that would've been super scary for everyone in the crowd 
this is so crazy i dont get why someone would do that in front of 20k ppl lol what kinda thinking gets you banned from a festival for life 
at least no one got seriously hurt or anything? seems like the security could've done better tho, idk how 2 flares slipped by all that bag checking & scanning
