Oasis fans share key advice getting into front standing section at Wembley gigs

Oasis fans are pouring on London for the second of seven Wembley gigs. The Gallagher brothers performed together in London for the first time in 16 years last night (July 25), with the band returning to the Wembley stage again later today. A crowd of 81,000 witnessed history being made - with those fans being the first of more than 630,000 who are expected to see the Oasis Live '25 shows in London.

Stay connected with our City Life newsletter here A mix of seated and standing tickets were available for fans trying to get a glimpse of Noel, Liam and the band at one of the Wembley shows. Tickets were allocated in recent weeks, including for fans with standing tickets. Oasis fans online have reported holding tickets which say either 'front standing' or 'general admission' for the Wembley shows. However, fans with 'general admission' tickets were able to access the front standing area yesterday - so long as they got in the queue early enough. Social media has been awash with Oasis fans sharing their advice, including general admission ticketholders who received a stamp allowing access near the front. In a thread on Reddit, one user asked: "Can anyone explain the stamp situation? "If you're GA [general admission] you can queue up, get a stamp for front standing, then f*** about for a couple hours and come back and walk straight into front standing, is that right?" Explaining the situation, another user replied: "Pretty much. We got stamped around 12:30 PM. "Joined the queue 20 minutes before the doors opened and at that time there were still people getting stamped. Getting to front standing wasn't hard at all." Other fans have also explained the situation on social media, with one Reddit user posting: "Was there tonight (Friday), if you have standing you can get front standing, first 2.5k, they get you to queue up on the ramp at the yellow entrances and give you as stamp and line up, it's all well signed and worked really well! "We got there about 3:30pm and was about 1k in! If you're going over the next few days enjoy was class!" Another user wrote: "Went yesterday and the front standing queue was round by the red entrance. "We joined it before 4pm and got a front section wristband no problem. We had green zone tickets but didn't matter." On Facebook, other Oasis fans shared similar advice. One fan explained: "I was there yesterday. Front Standing. We went to yellow zone about 12:30 and got a stamp. Join our Oasis WhatsApp group here "We then went to Box Park for a couple hours then back to yellow zone for 3 where we waited in line till doors opened at 5... Once you get ushered through security you will get a wristband and you're in." Another added: "Just go early and walk straight to the yellow zone, you get a stamp and can go to front area." Oasis return to the Wembley stage tonight (Saturday) before five further dates on July 30, August 2, August 3, September 27 and September 28.

Oasis fans disagree over Wembley and Heaton Park gigs comparison as Liam Gallagher delivers three-word verdict

Liam Gallagher gave a three-word assessment of the crowd at Oasis' first gig at Wembley Stadium last night (July 25). The band are to play a total of seven nights in the capital between now and September as part of their Live '25 reunion tour. They'll play Friday, July 25 followed by further dates on Saturday, July 26, Wednesday, July 30, Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3. READ MORE: Britain's Got Talent judge quits panel as huge star 'in talks' to take over READ MORE: Hollywood director spotted behind monitors at final Billie Eilish gig in Manchester There will then be an eight-week gap which will see Oasis perform dates in Edinburgh and Dublin, and abroad, before they return for their two final dates at Wembley on Saturday, September 27 and Sunday, September 28. Playing to a sold-out crowd, clips of around 81,000 people bouncing to Cigarettes and Alcohol have already begun to go viral on social media. Liam praised the crowd's energy, saying they had been 'loud as f***'. Introducing Champagne Supernova, which is the final song of the show, he addressed the crowd: 'Right then London you f***ing mad-heads. "You've been amazing, man. Loud as f***. "Nice one for making this happen, it's good to be f***ing back." Comparisons have already begun between the crowds at Wembley and Heaton Park, where the brothers completed a string of five nights last Monday (July 20). "Definitely better than Heaton [Park]", wrote one user under a video of the crowd posted by Wembley's TikTok account. "It's definitely not", came the quick reply from another user. Announced last August, two days before the 30th anniversary of their debut album Definitely Maybe, the reunion tour was the biggest concert launch ever seen in the UK and Ireland. An estimated 630,000 people will watch them at Wembley before the tour heads to North America in the autumn. It had been Manchester United fans in the firing line at Heaton Park - but even fans at Wembley couldn't escape some teasing from Liam about their favourite football team. "Don't be booing Arsenal fans," he told the crowd as he instructed them to do the Poznan bounce. "Just because you're not top of the league. It isn't our f***ing problem." The band also paid tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne, projecting a huge portrait of the singer onto the big screen before launching into Rock N Roll Star, which they dedicated to Osbourne.
