Those who thought they'd try and get the Oasis themed Lidl parka may have gotten flashbacks to the Ticketmaster wars, as the jackets sold out in seconds.
The parkas, expertly named Lidl by Lidl in a nod to the band's 2002 hit, was launched by the supermarket giant on Wednesday at 10am via a dedicated website; launching just as the Gallagher brothers lay down their arms and kicked off their reunion tour last Friday in Cardiff — the first in 16 years after Noel sensationally quit the band following a bust up with Liam.
With tickets to the gigs leaving some fans crying their heart out as they missed out due to unprecedented demand (with others having to pay extortionate 'in demand' prices), those who mightn't have been lucky with the Ticketmaster wars may have tried their hands at getting the parkas… only to be left bitterly disappointed as the demand for the jackets went supersonic.

The jackets were being sold for just €35 with the proceeds going to charity, but some fans who were trying to buy them aired their frustrations after their cards got declined. The jackets ended up selling out in seconds; and have already appeared on secondary markets such as eBay where they were going for upwards of €150.
'We have seen unprecedented demand for our limited-edition Lidl by Lidl jacket, with fans from across the island of Ireland waiting in line to access the website when sales opened,' a statement from Lidl GB and Ireland said. 'We understand this is disappointing for many Oasis and Lidl fans, however we encourage customers to stay tuned to our social channels for future limited-edition merchandise ranges.'
Fans took to Twitter (X) to voice their disappointment with the supermarket giant, with one person writing 'I thought getting oasis tickets was mental. Then I tried to get a Lidl by Lidl jacket.'

Bro why was getting that Lidl jacket harder than getting oasis tickets — Josh ⁕ (@o0_Joshy_0o) July 9, 2025
'Bro why was getting that Lidl jacket harder than getting oasis tickets,' another added, while another shared their frustrations at the jackets being sold at inflated prices by scalpers, tweeting 'Forgot about this release [Lidl by Lidl] jacket, Proceeds to charity. £30 RRP. You think these chancers will be donating?' before sharing a screenshot of eBay listings fetching prices as high as £208 (€241).
The jackets are not only a brilliant nod to the band, but are also as functional as they are stylish — with two built in drink cooling pockets to keep the cans warm, and a zipper that doubles as a bottle opener.
They also come with a tambourine for the rock n roll star that may want to start an impromptu jam session, while a Lidl by Lidl badge is on the sleeve for you to get in.

As for the band, they kicked off their first gig in 16 years in Cardiff's Principality stadium on Friday (July 4) — with people being mad fer it as they shared clips of a concert that they thought was never going to happen.
