Oasis fan hits out before Edinburgh gigs after noticing 'something wrong with crowd'
While the Cardiff instalment of Oasis's global tour had many fans belting out anthems with gusto, not all shared the same enthusiasm, as one TikTok user's video revealed.
The footage captured on Saturday evening, during the second night of the tour at the Principality Stadium, showed a crowd seemingly indifferent to the Gallagher brothers' stage presence, much to the dismay of the fan filming.
Laura Bradshaw, identified as the disgruntled fan, swept her camera across the seated spectators and vented her frustration in the caption: "Why is everyone sat down - this is who you lost tickets to btw," accompanied by a tearful emoji.

The video sparked debate among viewers. Some echoed Laura's sentiments, with one commenting, "why is no one singing! I wasn't sat down. Stood up singing loud and proud as everyone should have been for the struggle it was to get tickets."
Others lamented the missed opportunity for die-hard supporters, with remarks like, "Real fans of oasis missed out so people can come and sit down at a concert.", reports the Mirror.
Complaints about the subdued atmosphere were also voiced, with a comment stating, "WHY IS IT SO QUIET."
However, not everyone agreed with the criticism. One attendee retorted, "we were in seats on the left side and we all stood up for the entire gig!".
Another offered a humorous explanation, "Because they're original fans and our backs are shot to pieces."
A third individual weighed in, remarking: "I would be seating too - appreciating and taking it all in. Standing and jumping about isn't the only way to enjoy it."
And a fourth contributed: "What are they meant to do, it's difficult to dance to Cast No Shadow."

A fifth person pointed out: "Because standing up at a gig has no bearing on my of how much of a fan you are?".
This follows an incident where an Oasis fan became an internet sensation after she was spotted using the music identification app Shazam to discover the title of "one of the greatest songs of all time."
The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, drew an audience of over 75,000 as they reunited on stage for the first time in 16 years, launching their global comeback tour.
Richard Ashcroft from The Verve warmed up the crowd with his rendition of the iconic 1997 track Bitter Sweet Symphony. Yet, amidst the fans, one woman was unfamiliar with the tune.
A TikTok video captured the moment the gig-goer used Shazam to identify the song, which Rolling Stone magazine has hailed as one of the greatest ever.
The fan who recorded the scene captioned her video: "Imagine not knowing the greatest song of all time."
Upon viewing the footage, numerous people flocked to social media to express their indignation.
One commenter posted: "Seriously! I couldn't get a ticket because of these people."
Another lamented: "This is the people who got our tickets."
A third shared their frustration: "this is who i lost my tickets too. And there's real fans from the 90's that couldn't get tickets'".
Another disgruntled fan chimed in: "nah there's no way i lost tickets to someone shazaming one of the most popular songs of the britpop era."

Noel Gallagher's influencer daughter is helping him win over younger fans
Anais Gallagher, 25, is not only known as Noel Gallagher's daughter - she is also a huge TikTok star and model who has been helping Gen Z fall in love with Oasis' music Noel Gallagher's daughter, Anais, is quietly reinventing his public image, not with the help of a general marketing campaign, but by engaging with her Gen Z peers. Anais Gallagher, 25, is building a name for herself as a model and social media influencer. Based in London, she has also played a growing role in shaping the public image of her father, Noel Gallagher, the former Oasis guitarist and songwriter. Noel, 58, is widely recognised as a major figure in British rock alongside his brother Liam having been apart of the most successful band to ever emerge from Manchester. However, reaching younger audiences has not always come naturally to him - especially given that Oasis had their heyday in the 1990's. However, Anais is reportedly helping bridge the age and generation gap, using her online presence to present a more current and relatable side of her father, especially on TikTok and Instagram. Chad Teixeira, a media strategist, told Femail that her approach has been incredibly effective in younger people discovering her dad's music. 'Her influence is subtle but strategic,' he said. 'Whether it's through TikTok or her ability to offer advice on how certain decisions might be received by younger people.' Anais has 177,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares casual and unfiltered content. One video showing her in hair rollers before attending an Oasis concert in Cardiff received over 800,000 views. Reports also suggest she had input on the tour setlist and offered feedback on what newer fans might expect from a reunion. Teixeira said Anais is not trying to change her father's identity, but rather helping him adjust to changing cultural expectations. 'She respects his legacy while helping him stay relevant to a generation that values authenticity and accountability,' he said. Anais, along with her cousin Gene Gallagher, who is the 24-year-old son of Liam Gallagher, also played a role in reconciling the Gallagher brothers after a 15-year split. Their involvement is said to have helped bring about the Oasis reunion tour. At the opening night in Cardiff, Anais was seen hugging her father backstage before the show. The moment, captured by a fan as Richard Ashcroft performed, was widely shared online. Later, she was seen dancing alongside actor Callum Scott Howells, while her mother, Noel's ex-wife Meg Mathews, was also present in the crowd. Oasis kicked off their long-awaited reunion tour with a sold-out concert in Cardiff, marking the band's first live performance together in 15 years. The show featured a mix of classic hits like 'Wonderwall' and 'Don't Look Back in Anger,' alongside fan favourites from their back catalogue.

'Irrational' mum returns puppy to breeder just one day after adoption
A mum has sparked a fierce debate on social media after revealing she returned her new puppy to the breeder after just one day. A woman has sparked a debate on social media after confessing she made a "big mistake" by buying a cockapoo puppy, only to return him to the breeder the following day. Mum Becky expressed her sorrow at having to give back the puppy, whom she had intended to name Blue, admitting she "hasn't made the right decision" in getting the young dog. "I've been so lucky that the breeder has agreed to take him back," she shared tearfully while embracing the puppy in a TikTok video. "I just don't think it's the right timing. I've got work to do, and I just made a really irrational decision and it's one that I'm not going to be able to live with. I'm about to take him back. Lesson learned I think." In the widely viewed clip, which has attracted over 200,000 views, Becky explained that she "needed to be free" and believed the puppy would "fill a void". "Before I get attached and before the kids get attached, he's got to go back," she stated. The video creator later disabled comments following criticism for her actions, reports the Mirror. One individual commented: "This proves that not everyone should be allowed to have pets and there should be stricter regulations for people that buy dogs off breeders. A dog is forever not a day." Another questioned: "Why on earth would you decide this after one day?". To these remarks, Becky responded: "I had thought long and hard about getting a puppy. I thought I was ready to have this dog. What should I have done? Should I have kept him and pretended everything was fine?" Despite facing criticism, the woman received a wave of encouragement from many who believed she had made the correct decision. One supporter commented: "Good for you making such a hard decision. As a breeder, I always say please return if you are not happy." Another remarked: "What a wonderfully selfless and compassionate thing you did taking that puppy back to the breeder. Recognising that you are not in the right place to give him what he needs is refreshing." Welcoming a pup into the home can be delightful for some, but as pet experts note, the phenomenon of "puppy blues" is commonly experienced by new owners. Animal Friends Pet Insurance defines this as "the unexpected negative emotions triggered after bringing home a new puppy." These feelings often stem from the overwhelming reality of newfound responsibility to the exhaustion due to disrupted sleep and demanding training routines. Symptoms You Might Be Suffering from Puppy Blues For those who are finding themselves battling these emotions, there is encouraging news that this period is usually short-lived. The insurance firm points out that "the first few weeks are the most challenging," and it is quite standard to experience some regret after acquiring a puppy initially. A representative from Dogs Trust, the UK's leading dog welfare charity, informed The Mirror: "Whilst we'd always encourage people to consider adopting a dog, we know that some people will choose to buy a puppy, particularly if they have their heart set on a particular breed. "The first few weeks after you bring your new puppy home is such an exciting time, they bring such joy and are bound to put a smile on your face. However, looking after any dog, particularly a young dog, is a huge responsibility which requires time, energy, patience, and money. "There is information on the Dogs Trust website on what to consider before getting a dog or puppy, and the charity also has a free Behaviour Support Line for any dog owner, not just those who adopt from Dogs Trust, who have any concerns about caring for their dog."
