Oasis announced their unexpected return to the stage this week, sending fans into hysterics.
The reunion of the quarreling Manchester brothers seemed an impossibility for many years, however, they are now set to play 14 dates across the UK and Ireland as part of the Oasis Live 25 world tour.
The Waterford News & Star asked locals how they feel about the reunion and if they will consider trying to snatch up the in-demand tickets.
, member of Oasis tribute act Mad Ferritt, said: "I think it's brilliant. We do the tribute and all the fans we see are teenagers, who've never seen Oasis live and probably thought they never would, and it's amazing now that the young generation can see them and experience it."
Jamie says he is predicting strong performances from the duo: “I think both of them are still young enough and they’ve matured a lot over the years. They can both still sing and give a good performance. I think musically it will be magic. The setlist choice will be interesting, but it will be a phenomenon."
He added, “I will be applying for the tickets, and I will go anywhere to see them!"
said that the music of Oasis means a lot to him: "I am an Oasis fan and I would like to see them but it's very expensive... but when they're getting back together it's always going to be a bit pricey.
"My mum is an Oasis fan and I grew up listening to them in the house. I was very young when they broke up, yet I'd know the songs because I grew up listening to them."
added that he hopes fans won't be priced out: "Music is subjective but it's great to see them get back for their fans. I just hope it isn’t too expensive, so that the people who have supported the band their whole lives can now go and listen to them live."
