Brawl Erupts at Oasis Toronto Show as North American Leg Begins

A viral clip of punches in the crowd, halted by a woman dancing into the fray, has sharpened questions over fan conduct on the Live '25 tour.

Liam and Noel Gallagher onstage in Toronto on Sunday, another drama-free stop in their once-unthinkable reunion tour.

Overview

  • Fan-shot video from the Toronto date shows a fight during “Fade Away,” with punches thrown and at least one person knocked to the floor.
  • Attendees on social media condemned the behaviour, while several praised the woman whose dancing appeared to break up the altercation.
  • Reports from the show indicate the band continued playing and seemed unaware of the disturbance.
  • A separate attendee complaint described a couple standing on shoulders in a seating section, raising concerns about obstructed views and safety.
  • Toronto marked the first North American stop as the reunion tour proceeds under heightened scrutiny following a fan’s fatal fall at Wembley earlier this month.
