Overview

  • Video from the Aug. 26 Toronto concert shows several men trading punches during Fade Away, with one person knocked to the floor before a woman stepped into the circle and danced to break it up.
  • Oasis continued playing through the disturbance, with coverage noting the band appeared unaware of the fight unfolding in the crowd.
  • Fans on social platforms condemned the altercation and praised the woman who intervened, calling the fighting "ridiculous" behavior at a long-awaited show.
  • A separate TikTok post from the same gig accused a couple in the seating area of blocking views by going on shoulders, prompting criticism that venue staff should have intervened for safety and etiquette.
  • Recent reporting has also highlighted earlier tour safety concerns, including The Sun’s account of a fan believed to have fallen and died at Wembley, after which Oasis said they were shocked and saddened.
