The opening night of Oasis's UK tour ended in shambles last night after the band suffered a power failure during the opening song. Oasis fans, always an understanding, generous and gentle bunch, behaved impeccably and sat patiently until the problems were sorted. Oh hang on, that was a Jools Holland gig - the Oasis fans booed their arses off and threw bottles of piss everywhere.

The gig at Heaton Park in Manchester descended into chaos during the band's opening number Rock 'N' Roll Star, when smoke started pouring from electrical equipment.

The band left the stage and returned ten minutes later and played Lyla - until it happened again.

They eventually managed to get cracking nearly an hour later, with Liam promising the entire audience a full refund. They went on to ignore their 11pm curfew.

Not sure where they stand on the refunds as I'm sure this was an Act of God. If Noel had played Magic Pie a swarm of locusts would have covered the crowd whilst crows pecked Liam's eyes out.

Still, they (ahem) Rolled With It. *sips water*

  • what sort of *cunt* pays to suffer an Oasis gig? Not even when they were this mythical pub band were they any more an attractive live proposition than attending a seminar on new roadmarking technology...

    She's Not Electric?
