Oasis gigs prompt council to ‘take action’ | Music | Entertainment

Oasis have played a string of gigs at Manchester’s Heaton Park over the past week, and they aren’t done yet. The band, comprised of brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher, still have two shows taking place this week, with Edinburgh and London shows still to come. However, due to the popularity of the shows, tickets to the Oasis reunion gigs have become a hot commodity throughout the country. As a result, some fans have been attending the newly dubbed “Gallagher Hill” to glimpse the concerts’ large screens from a distance.
Now, Manchester City Council has erected new steel fences around the park to “prevent ticketless fans from watching the gigs” as well as to “protect the nature in the park” as reported by Sky.
Manchester City Council stated: “After taking stock of how the first two nights went, additional measures have now been deemed necessary and will be in place for the next three concerts.
“The erection of the fencing has a dual purpose – both to protect the environment from further damage and to dissuade people from gathering there. The necessary measure means the concert will no longer be visible from this area.”
Thankfully, for fans who can no longer see the screens from afar, and do not have tickets, there are still methods of purchasing them before the gigs kick off this week.
A number of websites – both official and resale – have plenty available right now. Below, we have listed all the options fans have to get involved.
Oasis tickets are available right now from either resale or official websites.
Second-hand websites have the most tickets available right now. These retailers, including viagogo, Vivid Seats and StubHub, allow fans to buy and sell their ideal tickets at the drop of a hat, all the way up to the day of the gig in question.
And, at the time of writing, some gig tickets are being sold for around £300 each. Here’s the links:
Alternatively, fans can look at official retailers to get their fix.
There are three websites fans ought to keep an eye on to get their Oasis tickets.
Ticketmaster is first up. And while they sold out in minutes last year, a few official resale tickets have popped up on their network over the past few weeks. With that said, they did sell in minutes, so fans need to keep a close eye on the web pages.
Secondly, Twickets is the official resale partner of Oasis’ tickets. While they have been out of stock for some time, it is always possible that further tickets will become available in the days leading up to gigs. Be sure to set up alerts to be notified of new tickets.
Finally, Seat Unique has VIP and hospitality tickets available. These include such perks as complimentary food and drink, early access to the venues, post-show parties, goodie bags, and much more.
Here are the links to all three:

Sam Fender lands Hypersonic Missiles at UK’s fastest festival | Music | Entertainment

Never mind the world’s most famous Grand Prix three days later, judging by size of the crowd at Silverstone Circuit on Thursday night, you’d be forgiven for thinking Sam Fender was the weekend’s main event. Make no mistake, this was a show worthy of headlining any music festival in the UK calendar but we weren’t at London’s Hyde Park or Finsbury Park respectively, but watching pre-race weekend entertainment on a huge stage literally a stone’s throw from the legendary Formula 1 track.
And given the regrettable news after the show, it turns out we were even luckier than we thought to catch him at Silverstone. The Seventeen Going Under singer had a little help too. Support acts don’t get much bigger than quintet indie rock band Blossoms, who armed with percussion, keys and strings, filled the stage with more than just noise. Even still, the Stockport band – who almost certainly surprised swathes of Sam Fender fans just how many Blossoms tracks they knew – made space for Gary the giant gorilla.

Frontman Tom Ogden who oozed as much confidence speaking as he did singing to the thousands before him, explained to the uninitiated why on earth a ginormous fibre glass ape had made an appearance.
Addressing the erm brash elephant in the room which juxtaposed with Tom’s sleek all black super wide legged suit, he recalled Gary’s history of being stolen from a garden centre. A news story I remember fondly covering at the time. It was a tale which clearly struck a chord with the band as Tom proceeded to pen last year’s release aptly titled Gary.
Tom told the BBC in November: “I found the story entertaining when I heard it on the radio, so just as a laugh I went away [and said] I’m going to write a song about it. I mean, if the song wasn’t very good, it would have never seen the light of day. But I rated the song.”

Our view from a balcony on the side of the stage meant we could see scores of smiles shaded by the brim of F1 team baseball caps, erupt into a mass sing along to the 2016 hit, Charlemagne. Forgetting how frightening it is that we’re nearing a decade since it first took over our radios, Charlemagne ringing out in the early evening sun had us very nicely warmed up for Sam Fender.
The proud Geordie superstar of the moment was the first of Raye, Fatboy Slim and Becky Hill to headline across the weekend, each with big name support from Jade to Mike Skinner. The phrase something for everyone springs to mind.
Speaking ahead of the weekend, Silverstone’s Chief Commercial Officer Nick Read rightly boasted of bringing together “best of British talent” for an “unforgettable festival experience”. After spotting Lewis Hamilton in the flesh during a stroll through the F1 paddock, I for one can certainly agree.

Stepping out for a front-on view of the stage in the crowd, I only had to glance left or right for festival-goers clad in garish, sponsor adorned F1 merch to remind me exactly where I was. Add to that Sam Fender fans dressed in Newcastle United shirts to rival the uniform of the occasion, I couldn’t help but feel like I missed the memo. Throw in several black and white flags waving high above the crowd and the show felt like a melting pot of music and the two sports. I wonder if when Fender burst onto the scene in 2019, he anticipated being welcomed in Northamptonshire to a flag reading “Have you ever seen a Mackem in Milan?”
Very much adding fuel this football-led fire was of course the artist himself, wielding his own black and white striped guitar. “We’ve got both sides of the derby here, we‘re all friends here don’t worry,” the star joked after clocking Sunderland colours towards the front row.
Given how impassioned the 31-year-old sounded thrashing and sweetly belting out emotion-laced hits accordingly, I was surprised by his regrettable announcement following the set. Having to cancel upcoming shows, however, did help explain why Sam kept talking to a minimum. He cut a figure of a very normal person with an extraordinary talent. Instead, it was a bandmate amping up the crowd from behind.
It really was a great set (Image: Ben Gregory-Ring)
Taking to social media, Sam wrote: “Hey everyone, at the beginning of the week I got my voice checked by my ENT doctor and the cords were slightly swollen,” Fender wrote in a statement shared on Instagram.
“After a few days rest I was advised by my team that I was okay to perform. On stage at Silverstone I could feel that things were a lot harder than usual, I felt I needed to push a lot harder to sing – this is never a good sign.
“I’ve just been checked by my ENT again today, as I was concerned about it, and it’s transpired that I’ve had a haemorrhage on one of my vocal cords.”
For all the sadness and hardship addressed in Fender’s lyrics, the show felt euphoric – triumphant almost as though the thousands singing along had shared such strife and had reached a collective light at the end of the tunnel.
Only this time, it was the sun setting on night one of a huge weekend in the world racing calendar.

Felipe Silva dead: Beloved music star dies at 24 after tragic accident | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Music star Felipe Silva, who was half of the up-and-coming-coming country music duo Felipe & Raphael, died on Monday June 14 at the age 24. He fell off a pick-up truck and suffered a head injury that killed him two days later. He was rushed to hospital on Saturday following the accident in Araguaína, a city in the Brazilian state of Tocantins, according to his manager. The singer was sitting in a parked truck when someone suddenly started the engine and the jolt caused him to lose his balance and fall, hitting his head on the ground. His manager said he was treated for brain swelling at a local hospital but didn’t survive according to local outlet Metropoles.
The news was confirmed on the band’s Instagram page with a touching post. “Today didn’t dawn as we expected…
It was to be another chapter of a beautiful project, full of dreams, courage and music….But today, with broken hearts, we share that our dear Felipe is no longer with us. And he’s gone…. gone way too soon…
“…Felipe was more than an artist, he was light, he was joy, he was courage, he was perseverance. Wherever she went, she left smiles, she left seeds.
“…His dream was always to sing for the world… And now he will be singing in heaven with the angels.
But here, we’ll keep representing, with the same strength and love that he carried into every note, every rehearsal, every song.
Rest in peace Philip We will love you forever,” it concluded.
Devastated fans rushed to pay tribute to the star flooding the comments with their condolences.
“You left us too soon. I’m going to miss you so much. Rest in peace. Your joy will echo through all eternity. Forever in my heart,” one wrote.
“As Felipe always said, I love you, and you will always be in our hearts! You were AMAZING DUDDY! Thanks for all our moments, thanks for all the advice, thanks for all your help in difficult situations, thanks for the friendship, for the laughs, thanks FOR EVERYTHING. It’s hard to write this here, because it’s not what I wanted to write… I really wanted this to be just another scare…may you rest well. I love you my friend,” a second added.
A third chimed in: “I can’t believe it. You were a light on this earth my friend! Those who know you know that you were a human being that everyone liked to be close to. May the Father of heaven receive you with open arms prince!”
Meanwhile a fourth penned: “May you look over all of us from heaven…you always with that contagious laugh…today I am not mourning just for a friend, but for a brother…you taught me the meaning of true friendship.
“You will never be forgotten, you will always be in my heart, you always in my prayers and my mothers prayers too! I know that from up there you are enchanting everyone with your joy, your jokes, and your incredible voice my dear. I love you so much, and I feel an emptiness now in my chest without you ‘my singer’, rest in peace Felipe .”
