Paul Weller has said that the Oasis Live '25 tour will be “remembered forever” by fans, but said he won’t be in going to any of the gigs.
During an interview with Jo Whiley that was broadcast on BBC Radio 2, he was asked about their comeback, and while praising the band, admitted he won't be going to any of the shows.
He said “I’m not a big fan of big gigs, I said to Noel, a few weeks or months ago, ‘Are you going to do any warm-ups?’, which he wasn’t, but I’d go and see something like that in a smaller venue, but I just don’t like big gigs. It doesn’t matter who it was, really.”
He added that unless you were in the front row, you’d inevitably end up watching the show through a screen. “It kind of spoils a bit for me,” he said, “because I want to see whoever is playing or singing, and I want to be able to see them.”
Wiley then asked whether he wanted to go along to cheer on Noel, but he was confident he wouldn’t need any support other than the fans in attendance.
“You know how it’s going to go for him, It’s going to be mad. I said to him that it’s going to be a cultural moment because the amount of people I speak to just out on the street, not necessarily who you’d think would be an Oasis fan, but they are all going to it, and it’s a big cultural moment, I think that will be remembered forever.”
