During Oasis’s show at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on Thursday night, a fan ignited a flare in the packed mosh pit while the stadium roof was closed. The dangerous incident occurred as the band performed before an audience of 50,000 people.
Video shared on social media shows a man dancing in the crowd as he held the flare. Liam Gallagher, noticing the act, interrupted the performance and scolded the fan from the stage.
“That was naughty. Naughty, naughty, naughty.”
The following morning, the Oasis frontman took to X to express his anger at the reckless behavior, posting a blunt message condemning the fan’s actions.
“To the massive C*** who launched that flare into the crowd last night at the gig in Melbourne, you are one seriously f***ed up individual and you will get yours, trust me.”
Several attendees spoke about the moment the flare went off. Jordan McArdle, who had traveled from Perth for the show, described the situation as unexpected and dangerous.
“It went off during the last song and was definitely out of the blue. I was pretty far away from it, but it went into a very crowded area of the mosh pit and was lucky not to have injured anyone as far as I know.”
McArdle also questioned how the flare managed to make it past stadium security, calling it a worrying lapse.
