Liam Gallagher has slammed a concertgoer after a flare was fired into the crowd during Oasis’s show in Melbourne, leaving fans shaken and the band furious.
The band were performing to a 55,000-strong audience at Marvel Stadium for the opening night of their Australian tour when chaos briefly erupted. As Oasis launched into their 1996 hit Champagne Supernova, a flare was hurled from the stands, landing dangerously close to the packed mosh pit.
Despite the commotion, Liam continued singing, but he later stopped to scold the crowd, wagging his finger and warning: “That was naughty — naughty, naughty, naughty.” Witnesses said Noel Gallagher looked “concerned” as security scrambled to control the situation.
Backstage, tempers reportedly flared again, with Liam taking to X the following morning to vent his anger: “To the massive C*** who launched that flare into the crowd last night at the gig in Melbourne, you are one seriously f**d up individual and you will get yours, trust me.”

Fans at the venue described the moment as tense and frightening. One attendee said: “People were scared as they didn’t know what was going on. No one expects to see flames in the crowd at a gig. It was all a bit intense for a few split seconds.”
A spokesperson for Marvel Stadium confirmed the incident, stating: “Security acted quickly, but the patron involved in throwing the flare wasn’t found. Thankfully no one has ended up getting injured.”

The incident comes as Irish audiences, particularly Dublin residents, have been voicing similar concerns about public safety over Halloween weekend, when fireworks and firecrackers were launched across the city. Videos circulated online showing rockets being fired directly into streets and housing estates — and in some cases, aimed at people.
In that context, Gallagher’s furious reaction will likely strike a chord with Irish fans, many of whom are still uneasy after nights of fireworks chaos. What began as festive celebration quickly turned into something far more dangerous — just as the Oasis gig descended from euphoric nostalgia into a moment of real fear.
While no injuries were reported in Melbourne, the incident has renewed debate around pyrotechnics at gigs and sporting events, with many calling for tighter checks and stricter enforcement at large venues.
As for Liam, his no-nonsense response serves as a reminder of the blunt honesty that’s long defined him — but also of how fast joy can turn to panic when fire meets a crowd.
