Never mind ticket resale – It's Lidl's Oasis parkas that are now breaking the internet
Those who thought they'd try and get the Oasis themed Lidl parka may have gotten flashbacks to the Ticketmaster wars, as the jackets sold out in seconds. The parkas, expertly named Lidl by Lidl in a nod to the band's 2002 hit, was launched by the supermarket giant on Wednesday at 10am via a dedicated website; launching just as the Gallagher brothers lay down their arms and kicked off their reunion tour last Friday in Cardiff — the first in 16 years after Noel sensationally quit the band following a bust up with Liam. With tickets to the gigs leaving some fans crying their heart out as they missed out due to unprecedented demand (with others having to pay extortionate 'in demand' prices), those who mightn't have been lucky with the Ticketmaster wars may have tried their hands at getting the parkas… only to be left bitterly disappointed as the demand for the jackets went supersonic. Those who thought they'd try and get the Oasis themed Lidl parka may have gotten flashbacks to the Ticketmaster wars, as the jackets sold out in seconds. Pic: Lidl The jackets were being sold for just €35 with the proceeds going to charity, but some fans who were trying to buy them aired their frustrations after their cards got declined. The jackets ended up selling out in seconds; and have already appeared on secondary markets such as eBay where they were going for upwards of €150. 'We have seen unprecedented demand for our limited-edition Lidl by Lidl jacket, with fans from across the island of Ireland waiting in line to access the website when sales opened,' a statement from Lidl GB and Ireland said. 'We understand this is disappointing for many Oasis and Lidl fans, however we encourage customers to stay tuned to our social channels for future limited-edition merchandise ranges.' Fans took to Twitter (X) to voice their disappointment with the supermarket giant, with one person writing 'I thought getting oasis tickets was mental. Then I tried to get a Lidl by Lidl jacket.' I thought getting oasis tickets was mental Then I tried to get a Lidl by Lidl jacket 🤣🤣🤣 — The Magic Mod (@TaylorMod) July 9, 2025 Bro why was getting that Lidl jacket harder than getting oasis tickets — Josh ⁕ (@o0_Joshy_0o) July 9, 2025 'Bro why was getting that Lidl jacket harder than getting oasis tickets,' another added, while another shared their frustrations at the jackets being sold at inflated prices by scalpers, tweeting 'Forgot about this release [Lidl by Lidl] jacket, Proceeds to charity. £30 RRP. You think these chancers will be donating?' before sharing a screenshot of eBay listings fetching prices as high as £208 (€241). The jackets are not only a brilliant nod to the band, but are also as functional as they are stylish — with two built in drink cooling pockets to keep the cans warm, and a zipper that doubles as a bottle opener. They also come with a tambourine for the rock n roll star that may want to start an impromptu jam session, while a Lidl by Lidl badge is on the sleeve for you to get in. Oasis returned last Friday after Noel and Liam Gallagher finally made up, playing their first gig in 16 years at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

Lidl Oasis themed parkas resold for six times the price after ‘unprecedented demand'
The €35 parkas sold out in minutes with some customers reporting their credit card details were refused Parkas resold up to six times the asking price A Lidl-themed Oasis-inspired parka sold out in minutes ahead of Noel and Liam Gallagher's reunion shows at Croke Park on August 16 and 17. The launch of the parkas, much like the ticket sales, caused major chaos on the Lidl by Lidl site this morning at 10am, with users reporting their credit card details were getting declined and jackets appearing on Ebay for nearly six times the sales price. A spokesperson for Lidl Ireland & Northern Ireland said: 'We have seen unprecedented demand for our limited-edition Lidl by Lidl jacket, with fans from across the island of Ireland waiting in line to access the website when sales opened. 'We understand this is disappointing for many Oasis and Lidl fans, however we encourage customers to stay tuned to our social channels for future limited-edition merchandise ranges,' they added. The parkas, which were sold at €35 a pop, feature two built-in drink cooling pockets along with the zipper doubling as a bottle opener. They were sold as a set with an accompanying tambourine, with all proceeds to be donated to Family Carers Ireland and Age NI from sales in Northern Ireland. The discount retailer added: 'We understand some users reported payment issues with the website however we can confirm this was due to the item being fully sold out at the time of purchase and not an issue with the site.' After the parkas sold out, they quickly appeared on with some listed at roughly six times the original price. Prices ranged from £120 to £209. The tickets to the band's Croke Park gigs, which went on sale late August, were originally priced at €86.50. However, users on X, reported the price for standing tickets more than doubling from around €176 on pre-sale to over €400 on Ticketmaster. Many users waited hours to secure their place in the queue for tickets. However, the brothers later decided in October that for concerts in the US, Canada and Mexico, dynamic pricing would not apply. The pair began their tour at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on 5 July. Before hitting the stage at Croke Park, they are set to play Heaton Park in Manchester and Wembley Stadium in London, both for five nights, and Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh for three nights.

Lidl Ireland unveils Oasis-inspired jacket ahead of band's Croke Park reunion shows
RETAILER Lidl Ireland has unveiled a jacket inspired by Oasis ahead of the band's forthcoming reunion shows at Croke Park next month. The 'Lidl by Lidl' jacket — a play on the band's 2002 hit Little By Little — goes on sale at 10am on Wednesday, with all proceeds going to charity. The garment was inspired by singer Liam Gallagher's collaboration with fashion brand Berghaus last year, which saw him sporting a £400 jacket in the same colours as the Lidl logo. The discount retailer says its own €35 (£30) jacket is ideal for gigs as it features two built-in drink cooling pockets and a zipper that doubles as a bottle opener. "This isn't just a jacket… it's a backstage pass to the ultimate party," quipped the retailer. 'Ultimate throwback jacket' Oasis — featuring second-generation Irish brothers Noel and Liam — got their reunion tour underway this weekend with shows in Cardiff on Friday and Saturday. Next Friday sees them begin a run of five shows in their home city of Manchester, followed by five shows at Wembley and three in Edinburgh. They then head to Dublin for two shows at Croke Park on August 16 and 17. Eimear O'Sullivan, Corporate Affairs Director at Lidl Ireland & Northern Ireland, hailed the jacket as another of Lidl's 'middle aisle gems'. "The Croke Park gigs are the most hotly-anticipated gigs of the summer and now Oasis fans can relive '90s nostalgia and commemorate a piece of Irish rock and roll history with the limited-edition Lidl by Lidl jacket," she said.

"Since the announcement of the Irish gigs, we've been overwhelmed by the response from the Irish public to see a 'Lidl by Lidl' product and, as Ireland's leading discount retailer, we're renowned for our middle aisle gems and quirky merch which has become synonymous with summer festival season. "We're thrilled to launch the ultimate throwback jacket that's sure to be a hit with both Oasis and Lidl fans. "We can't wait to see fans fill Croke Park kitted out in this summer's must-have merch." Tambourine Lidl says that the jacket — which sports a Lidl by Lidl badge on the sleeve — also comes with a tambourine 'for spontaneous jam sessions'. Meanwhile, Lidl GB is offering fans who miss out on the limited edition garment a branded bucket hat and pair of Lidl aviators, which will be available on the website for free. The jackets go on sale this Wednesday, with Lidl Ireland donating 100 per cent of sales to its charity partner, Family Carers Ireland, while Lidl GB will donate all proceeds to the NSPCC.
