Noel Gallagher Criticizes Royal Family During Sold-Out Manchester Oasis Shows

During Oasis' sold-out five-night reunion residency at Heaton Park in Manchester, Noel Gallagher took a pointed jab at the British monarchy. Introducing the song "Half the World Away," he quipped, "This one, for the Royal Family… Not that f***ing Royal Family! The real Royle Family," referencing the beloved 1990s sitcom rather than the actual royal family. Noel clarified his stance by saying he doesn't hate the Queen or the royals, acknowledging they were born into their roles, but expressed that the monarchy's appeal is dwindling and somewhat farcical. Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher humorously addressed a viral Coldplay moment where frontman Chris Martin caught two corporate executives in an intimate embrace on camera, assuring Oasis fans that no such "snidey" camera moments would occur at their concerts. Both brothers’ witty remarks were met with enthusiasm from the 80,000-strong nightly audiences, highlighting their continued sharpness and cultural commentary during the band’s historic reunion tour.
