Oasis fan hits out before Edinburgh gigs after noticing 'something wrong with crowd'
While the Cardiff instalment of Oasis's global tour had many fans belting out anthems with gusto, not all shared the same enthusiasm, as one TikTok user's video revealed.
The footage captured on Saturday evening, during the second night of the tour at the Principality Stadium, showed a crowd seemingly indifferent to the Gallagher brothers' stage presence, much to the dismay of the fan filming.
Laura Bradshaw, identified as the disgruntled fan, swept her camera across the seated spectators and vented her frustration in the caption: "Why is everyone sat down - this is who you lost tickets to btw," accompanied by a tearful emoji.

The video sparked debate among viewers. Some echoed Laura's sentiments, with one commenting, "why is no one singing! I wasn't sat down. Stood up singing loud and proud as everyone should have been for the struggle it was to get tickets."
Others lamented the missed opportunity for die-hard supporters, with remarks like, "Real fans of oasis missed out so people can come and sit down at a concert.", reports the Mirror.
Complaints about the subdued atmosphere were also voiced, with a comment stating, "WHY IS IT SO QUIET."
However, not everyone agreed with the criticism. One attendee retorted, "we were in seats on the left side and we all stood up for the entire gig!".
Another offered a humorous explanation, "Because they're original fans and our backs are shot to pieces."
A third individual weighed in, remarking: "I would be seating too - appreciating and taking it all in. Standing and jumping about isn't the only way to enjoy it."
And a fourth contributed: "What are they meant to do, it's difficult to dance to Cast No Shadow."

A fifth person pointed out: "Because standing up at a gig has no bearing on my of how much of a fan you are?".
This follows an incident where an Oasis fan became an internet sensation after she was spotted using the music identification app Shazam to discover the title of "one of the greatest songs of all time."
The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, drew an audience of over 75,000 as they reunited on stage for the first time in 16 years, launching their global comeback tour.
Richard Ashcroft from The Verve warmed up the crowd with his rendition of the iconic 1997 track Bitter Sweet Symphony. Yet, amidst the fans, one woman was unfamiliar with the tune.
A TikTok video captured the moment the gig-goer used Shazam to identify the song, which Rolling Stone magazine has hailed as one of the greatest ever.
The fan who recorded the scene captioned her video: "Imagine not knowing the greatest song of all time."
Upon viewing the footage, numerous people flocked to social media to express their indignation.
One commenter posted: "Seriously! I couldn't get a ticket because of these people."
Another lamented: "This is the people who got our tickets."
A third shared their frustration: "this is who i lost my tickets too. And there's real fans from the 90's that couldn't get tickets'".
Another disgruntled fan chimed in: "nah there's no way i lost tickets to someone shazaming one of the most popular songs of the britpop era."

'UK's poshest Greggs' is in Grade II listed building and steeped in history
Greggs is one of the UK's most beloved fast food chains, and fans of the eatery are just realising there's a particularly 'posh' branch in a 300-year-old building There's nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a Greggs pastry while you're rushing about, or grabbing one of their sandwiches or coffees from the beloved sausage roll emporium for your lunch. Devotees love it for being affordable and dependable - and you can spot its distinctive blue, white and yellow Greggs branding from miles away. But this particular branch in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, appears rather different and has been crowned "the poshest" Greggs in Britain. This extraordinary branch sits within a 17th century Grade II* listed structure and is frequently hailed as the most beautiful Greggs across the nation. The heritage building's facade features timber panelling and merges Victorian, Georgian, Tudor and 1930s architectural elements. Back in the 1700s, it launched as a grocer and tea merchant, which remained in business until the 1960s. Today, it houses Britain's beloved bakery chain. Until recently, the outlet was covered in scaffolding as part of an 18-month restoration scheme. This work is now finished: the building's front has been reconstructed whilst numerous windows have been renewed and sections of the roof have been fixed. On Reddit, the outlet was christened "the country's poshest Greggs". This week, a TikTok user posted footage of the establishment and declared: "Sorry but this is the poshest Greggs I've ever seen." Greggs responded to the clip, saying: "RIP Henry VIII you would have loved Bury St Edmunds Greggs." Someone else remarked: "That isn't a Greggs. That's a Gregorys." Another said: "It's like Greggs and Wetherspoons had a baby." Another person concurred, observing: "That ain't Greggs that's Gregory's tavern for the whimsical." "I just know people eating sausage rolls with their pinky's out," one user quipped. Another likened the place to "Greggs if it was in a fantasy world." A local resident chimed in: "I grew up in that town. Everybody called it bakers oven cause that's what it was called before Greggs took it over." "I kind of like the fact they've not changed the outside of the building too much," said one other. "Love Bury Greggs," another fan declared. "If only every Greggs looked like that," added one other.
