Oasis Fans Flock to Korea for Highly Anticipated Reunion Tour

Global sensation Oasis has arrived in Korea, and fans have gathered in droves at the concert venue well ahead of the performance on the 21st. Merchandise has already sold out.

Oasis is set to perform at 8 PM on the 21st at the Goyang Sports Complex as part of their world tour. Ahead of the concert, more than 11,000 fans have reportedly booked visits to the official Oasis pop-up store in Seoul, open from the 16th to the 26th. Fans are buzzing about the concert on the online platform X (formerly Twitter). Posts on online communities include comments like, "Everyone is wearing Adidas, the brand the members love. It's like all the Adidas in the world are here," "I drove up at dawn. I'm so excited," and "I'm so nervous I could die. I'm listening to their music on repeat."

Since their formation in 1991, Oasis has sold over 90 million records worldwide, earning them the title of 'legendary band.' All seven of their studio albums released before their 2009 breakup topped the UK charts. During their active years, they produced hits like "Don't Look Back in Anger," "Live Forever," "Wonderwall," and "Champagne Supernova." The band disbanded in 2009 due to a feud between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher.

After pursuing solo careers, the members announced a reunion last August, marking the start of their first world tour in 15 years. Korean fans sold out tickets on the first day of sales last November. Noel's periodic solo performances in Korea since 2012 have only heightened the anticipation for a full band reunion. Liam also performed in Korea in 2011 and 2017.

On the night before the concert (the 20th), some fans stayed up all night to purchase merchandise, leading to a sell-out frenzy about six hours before the concert on the 21st.

One fan eagerly awaiting the concert said, "I never dreamed Oasis would reunite, and I'm thrilled to see them as a complete band again. It's amazing that Noel Gallagher, who loves Korea, is performing here." Another fan expressed excitement, saying, "I can't believe I'm seeing Oasis, who I thought only existed in history, right in front of me. I want to enjoy today to the fullest because who knows when the next time will be."
