Oasis starâs daughter on fan âageism and misogynyâ
Noel Gallagherâs daughter has said there is âageism and the misogynyâ from long-time Oasis fans who feel they deserve tickets to the bandâs reunion tour more than young women who have discovered them more recently.
Anais Gallagherâs dad has buried the hatchet with her uncle Liam to announce the Britpop giantsâ first tour for 15 years.
The 24-year-old posted on TikTok after some fans complained about young people now jumping on the Oasis bandwagon.
Anais wrote: âOne thing I wonât stand for is the ageism and the misogyny around people getting tickets.
âSorry if a 19-year-old girl in a pink cowboy hat wants to be there, I will have my friendship bracelets ready.â
She was responding to a video posted by another user, Josie, who said she had seen people online complaining that âeveryone now suddenly loves Oasisâ.
âWhat do you mean everyone suddenly loves them? Everyone has always loved them,â Josie said in the video.
âTheyâre one of the most famous bands in the whole entire world.â
In a follow-up, she said her video was meant to be âa fun little laugh, and people are getting very, very heated in my comments sectionâ.
She added: âIt was just a point in that donât try and gatekeep Oasis because you canât gatekeep probably the most famous band to come out of the UK, if weâre disregarding The Beatles and stuff like that, but definitely the most famous Britpop band. You canât gatekeep them.â
As well as Anais Gallagherâs response, the replies to the original video included one saying: âI donât think itâs a case of ageism; itâs would just be disappointing if long-time fans miss the chance, because some people who barely know them go for the sake of it â without being fans.â
Another said they went to see Liam Gallagherâs recent solo tour performing Oasisâ debut album Definitely Maybe, and âthe amount of people around me that didnât know half the songs was amazing, while loads of my family that are die-hard fans couldnât get ticketsâ.
However, one wrote: âI think itâs actually impossible to be born in Britain and not know Oasis like regardless of age.â
Another said: âLiterally the entirety of Britain are Oasis fans.â
Demand for tickets is expected to be huge to see the Gallagher brothers at 17 major outdoor shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh next summer.
More dates could be added when tickets go on general sale at 09:00 BST on Saturday.
