The heated debate between Generation Z and Generation X looks set to continue following the long-awaited announcement of Oasis’ reunion tour.
Millions of fans took to social media to share their excitement after Liam and Noel Gallagher announced their comeback tour.
But old-school fans are furious that Gen Z is considering buying tickets to their reunion shows, with some Gen X supporters claiming they should not be allowed into the concert.
Some fans on TikTok joked that those who only know one or two Oasis songs should be banned from buying tickets.
One post read: “How is it possible that everyone at home suddenly became an Oasis fan as soon as these rumours surfaced? Sorry, I’m not losing tickets to a Wonderwall warrior.”

Some middle-aged fans believe that younger listeners should not be allowed to go if they “didn’t live through” the band’s prime in the 1990s and 2000s.
On X (formerly Twitter), Brits of all ages joked about their thoughts, with some insisting that tickets should be “over-40s only” and others arguing that access to Oasis cannot be “controlled”.
Fans wrote: “I cringe at all the under 25s jumping on the Oasis bandwagon. If you didn’t experience it the first time, you’ll have to sit this one out for the parents and older indie kids. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.”
‘Imagine waiting 15 years for Oasis to reform only to lose tickets to Chloe, a 21 year old from Stockport who just wants to hear Wonderwall live #oasisreunion’.
‘Why are you controlling Oasis LMAO?’
‘The first tickets for Oasis should be reserved for over-40s only. What do you think?’
Oasis are rumoured to be announcing even more dates for their long-awaited reunion tour, which music experts say will “sell out in less than three minutes”.

The brothers’ fractious relationship came to a head in 2009 after a backstage row in Paris led to Noel, 57, quitting the iconic Britpop band (pictured together in October 2008).
The band, who will be rejoined by their original guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, will play 14 shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin next summer.
Tickets for the Oasis Live 25 tour go on sale Saturday at 9am. A pre-sale will take place on Friday for select fans who will be selected from a voting pool.
More than 4 million fans are expected to compete for the 1,066,888 tickets available for the 14 concerts, sources said. The sun that once they are sold out ‘extra dates will surely be added’.
Industry insiders have also claimed that Bonehead is “confirmed” for the tour and “ecstatic” that the band is back together. Reportedly, both Liam and Noel Gallagher “wanted him to join the band” after he was “one of the driving forces behind the reunion.”
Oasis split in 2009 after many years of infighting, and Noel officially quit the band just before a performance at a festival near Paris, saying at the time that he “simply couldn’t continue working with Liam for another day”.
Even before their disbandment 15 years ago, the brothers had long had an antagonistic relationship and reportedly did not speak to each other for years after the breakup.
Fans have been calling for the brothers to reunite ever since they split up and are now gearing up for what they have hailed as the “bloodbath of the century.”
“Tickets for these shows will sell out in less than three minutes. Additional dates will likely be added,” a source told The Sun.
On X (formerly Twitter), Brits of all ages joked about their thoughts, with some insisting that tickets should be “over-40s only” and others arguing that access to the Oasis cannot be “controlled”.
Liam and Noel confirmed Oasis’ long-awaited reunion with a world tour in 2025 and also alluded to past tensions in the tour announcement on Tuesday.
“The guns have fallen silent,” Oasis said. “The stars have aligned. The long wait is over. Come see it. It won’t be televised.”
As part of the announcement, a black-and-white image of the two brothers, both wearing dark jackets, was also posted.
The Britpop band, who split almost 15 years ago and released their chart-topping Definitely Maybe album some three decades ago, have announced the run of dates will kick off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
The UK and Ireland tour will also visit Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin’s Croke Park during July and August next year.
Liam clarified on X, previously Twitter, that the UK and Ireland leg of the tour are “the band’s exclusive European appearances.”
The dates are as follows: Principality Stadium 4 and 5 July; Heaton Park 11, 12, 19, 20, 25 and 26 July; Wembley Stadium 2 and 3 August; Murrayfield Stadium 8 and 9 August; and Croke Park 16 and 17 August.
