WATCH: Hundreds of Oasis fans sing Don't Look Back in Anger outside Croke Park
Hundreds of Oasis fans who were unable to secure the highly coveted tickets to the band's two Croke Park reunion shows gathered outside the stadium in a mass sing-along on Saturday night. Several videos have been uploaded to social media documenting the crowds in Dublin 3, standing within earshot of the rapturous atmosphere within the venue. One such clip, posted by Robbie Kane of Dublin Live on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows a crowd bursting into the chorus of Don't Look Back in Anger, a song which writer Noel Gallagher has admitted has transcended the band itself. "It's a song that's still growing," Oasis' elder Gallagher brother said during an interview with Virgin Radio, adding: "it's insane." In another interview with the BBC, Noel spoke about how the song had become a rally cry for the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing, which killed 22 people during an Ariana Grande concert in 2017. Oasis fans at Croke Park In the subsequent vigils held after the attack, hundreds began to sing Don't Look Back in Anger as an ode to the victims and the city of Manchester, where Liam and Noel were born. "I was watching it happen on the news," Noel admitted. "I was speechless. It's such a tragic event, it really brought it home to me that, in times like took a song to bring people together. "I can't even think of the words to express what it is; it's just the power of music. It's a thing that brings people together." In the near-minute-long video Robbie uploaded, dozens can be seen smiling and looking around as even more sing along to Noel from outside the ground. Oasis will perform the second of their two Croke Park gigs on Sunday (August 17) before moving on to the North American leg of their world tour. So far, they have played to around 1.5million fans across Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and now Dublin, with shows in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, Pasadena and Mexico City lined up. After this stretch of the historic reunion, the brothers will return to London's Wembley Stadium for two more concerts before setting off once more for South Korea.
