and here's the same bloke interviewing Noel.

That's one thing I've always admired about both Liam and Noel. All the critics and fans and people reading in to every minute detail about the words in a song and what they mean and where they originate from and think all this knowledge makes them sound better than everyone else down the Campbell or at a gig etc. Whereas liam and Noel both say its just a fucking song, it has no deep, meaningful lyrics. They just live in the moment and fuck what everyone else thinks. To most that makes them arrogant, but if you can't be the main character in your own life and you spend too much time worrying about what everyone else is thinking, then what's the fucking point?

Us aswell next Saturday-Heaton park. If you are driving let me know where you managed to park.
As others have said the Ricoh gig was really the beginning of the end and seemed a bit effortless at the time but really looking forward to them both on stage again at last instead of with the separate bands.
Seen them both separately on a few occasions after the fall out. Couldn’t really get on with the beady eye stuff but High Flying Birds have a few decent tunes.
When we were looking at the time hotels in the area were over a grand for 2 nights which was just silly. We are heading up on the Friday and staying 2 nights and managed to bag a hotel for £210 but 30 mins drive away which I don’t mind for a saving of over a grand!

Booked 2 tickets last night for Sunday 20th (stupid prices but really want to go). If you have any tips on the parking before then, please let us know.

Yes Sainsbury’s all gone. Some of the prices for parking etc I’ve seen for £120 at least on some side roads etc about a mile away. Think I’m going to take the gamble and park in a side road. If we get a ticket then it will still be cheaper than £120 odd and I’ll take it on the chin. Just hope it hasn’t been towed away when we get back!

It is more of a tribute to Black Sabbath with the other bands involved, not sure how much singing Ozzy will be doing. I would love to be there for it, I wonder if anyone on here is going

I'd be amazed if he does more than a couple of songs, probably with a backing track like his last few 'live' appearances. Think the best case scenario is he's well enough to sit on his throne and watch other artists guest with his solo band and Sabbath.

tbh that is by far the better option. I haven't seen Ozzy live in years and back then he was struggling massively.

Without wanting to take this thread off track, pleasantly surprised how well he did from some of the clips I've seen

That concert was like the musical equivalent of the film "The Wrestler."

Half expected Ozzy to rise up out his seat during the end of paranoid and collapse.

He did seem to try and get up at one point but luckily didn't get to far else that would likely have been what happened.

Certainly did better than I was expecting, wise decision to leave the crowd to sing the high parts in mama I'm coming home.

When's the comeback tour being announced?

So it is. My bad. I knew they were playing 19th and 20th and just assumed it was Friday/Saturday. My apologies. Good that you managed to get parked with such short notice too


*I'm having a mare! I read that as your fully booked at sainos, not that sainos IS fully booked! I'm gonna take my leave now

Only got my tickets for the Saturday in Cardiff a couple of weeks before the gig in a 'production release' of extra tickets, so it is still worth keeping an eye out.

Must say they surpassed all expectations (which were pretty low after Liam's performance at the boxing...) and it was a top night. The atmosphere in Cardiff centre both before and after was excellent.

Went with my boy and after telling him all these horror stories about their knobhead fans (Finsbury Park 2002 was hell on earth), there was a really good mix of folk there.

There’s loads on viagogo and stubhub. Others will know better than me if they’re legitimate sites but everything I’ve seen suggests they are and they guarantee the tickets. Cheapest I’ve seen is £475 for the Wednesday at Wembo. Heaton Park around £550+.

I've bought 2 tickets from Viagogo. They have the buyer guarantee as standard so if I have been scammed then at least I get my money back while having a little cry.

I would never buy from viagogo or stubhub. Firstly you're supporting resale at inflated prices. These aren't people who happen to have a spare ticket, its industrial sale touting that stops the tickets ever reaching the primary market and frankly should be illegal.

But secondly seen far too many people pay a small fortune for tickets that never materialise. Sure you get your money back, eventually, but you get told to travel to the venue where it will be sorted so you still have to make a trip and arrive there to find that actually the tickets are non-existent, or even worse, fake.

Twickets don't allow resale over face value so are a bit safer. Axs and Ticketmaster do there own resales where you can be certain you won't have any problems with your ticket but they are insanely expensive and add a ton of fees and again are encouraging those companies to bypass the primary ticket market.

By "official" do you mean the Stanley Stella ones for £40 they were selling at Cardiff?

All very fair points. I’m not paying £475+ anyway out of principle but cannot support wankers who are in it for profit. Worth checking Twickets the day before for any genuine returns. IIRC that’s how I saw them at their last Wembley gig, last minute returns in the padded seats and only cost about £200 the pair.

Ticketless Oasis fans warned not to try breaking into Manchester shows

Heaton Park gigs will have double fence and security patrols but TikTokers are offering advice on gaining entry

It may well be newspaper hyperbole, but tomo night does sound like it might be a bit spicy

Just got back. Wow! What a gig that was! Was going expecting the worst and hoping for the best and certainly got the latter! Liam was on top form-they all were!
Worked out really well for us-we went up on the Friday and stayed overnight and made the decision to get in and around the area about 9ish in the morning. Had breakfast in a cafe and parked the motor in a tucked away side street (pm if you want to know where) which was a residents zone and we took the gamble.
Good job we were there early doors as around 11am all the side roads etc were barriered off and manned. So no traffic in and out. We were expecting a ticket when we got back but had a result-no ticket! Just a couple of moaners standing outside when we returned about 10-30pm.
There are a couple of pubs also that I’d recommend-the Friendship Inn or the Woodthorpe which is right next to Heaton Park.
The Woodthorpe was a one in one out policy as it was busy but we were early and didn’t apply to us. They had Brit pop pre party and the atmosphere was good with people from all over the place. We had Chinease and Germans next to us-guess it shows the appeal of the band. They were doing a BBQ aswell which went down well.
All in all a brilliant weekend-now time to close the wallet though for the rest of the month

Good stuff. Interesting about the parking, I'm still undecided but I'm now edging towards parking by Victoria tram stop in Manchester and taking the risk on getting the tram back, or just accepting it's an hour walk back after.

Yep-some of our lot were of the same opinion and just had to end up walking as it was 90 minutes minimum wait for the trams etc.
Hopefully they might have it sorted next time
