Mad Ferritt are Ireland’s leading Oasis tribute act, made up of top-class musicians from the South East. Their mission is simple: to recreate the raw power, swagger, and attitude of Oasis in their heyday.
Fans of iconic Oasis live shows like Live by the Sea and There and Then will love the detail and energy Mad Ferritt bring to the stage. From the unmistakable “Wall of Sound” to Liam’s signature delivery, this is as close as it gets to the real thing.
Alongside their full electric show, Mad Ferritt have also recreated the legendary Oasis MTV Unplugged theatre performance — complete with a 14-piece band featuring strings and brass.
