Man dies at Wembley Stadium during Oasis ’25 Live concert
During Oasis’ performance at Wembley Stadium in London, a tragic incident occurred when a man in his 40s died from injuries consistent with a fall. The incident, which took place at 22:19 BST, prompted immediate response from medics and officers at the national stadium, who declared the man dead on the scene, according to a representative from the Met Police. In response to the incident, Oasis expressed shock and sadness, offering their sincere condolences to the family and friends of the individual involved.
Authorities believe that several individuals may have witnessed the incident or captured it on mobile phone video footage. They have urged anyone with information to come forward. The man was reportedly sitting in the upper tier of the stadium, with the highest stands reaching 50 meters above the ground. While efforts were made to save the fan, Wembley Stadium confirmed that he tragically passed away. The venue extended its thoughts to the family of the deceased and noted that they were receiving support from specially trained police officers.
This unfortunate event occurred during one of seven sold-out shows that Oasis had scheduled at Wembley Stadium, with a seating capacity of 90,000. Despite the incident, the concert on Sunday proceeded as planned. The Gallagher brothers, iconic figures in Britpop, are set to perform in Australia later this year, with three shows at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium starting on October 31st, followed by two shows at Sydney’s Accord Stadium. Live Nation is organizing this global tour, marking Oasis’ return to touring after a 16-year hiatus.
In the UK, Oasis has established an esteemed status with a string of chart-topping albums. All seven of their studio albums, along with their 2010 compilation album “Time Flies 1994-2009,” have reached No. 1 on the Official UK Chart, bringing their total number of chart-topping albums to eight. As the band kicked off their tour in the British Isles, “Time Flies” reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the Official UK Albums Chart after 15 years. In addition, their acclaimed albums such as “What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” from 1995 and their debut “Definitely Maybe” from 1994 surged back in the charts, cementing Oasis’ presence in the top 5.
As fans anticipate their upcoming concerts in Australia, Oasis continues to uphold their legacy as one of the UK’s most successful rock bands.
