Pitchfork talked to Matt Bowman, frontman for UK press darlings and fellow Virgin Festival performers the Pigeon Detectives, who claims he was "just bang in front of Noel" when the attacker came at the elder Gallagher.
"It looked like [Noel] was in quite a lot of pain," according to Bowman. "It was pretty shit-cheap shot-- just from the back, and Noel didn't expect it coming. It certainly wiped him out."
Bowman described himself and his bandmates as being "literally dumbstruck" by the proceedings. "I mean, we had never seen anything like it...it put quite a damper on the mood."
Bowman also shared a rare Pigeon Detectives B-side with us. It's called "Get the Message" and it's available for download below.

It's a pretty serious safety concern and V-Fest & Oasis security should all lose their jobs. What if the guy had a knife? or worse...

Wow. Those are some legitimate and pansy responses.
"What if he killed Noel?"
"What if he killed more people?"
The worst way to start a sentence is, "What if"
He didn't kill Noel. He was a drunk/retard that got on stage and is going to pay for what he did. Quit being overly dramatic. What he did was completely and entirely unacceptable.

mstrau1, i see your point. however, i think that the security personnel should be held accountable either way.
there's a reason why there have been a lot of 'what if' questions. it's because bad things have happened in the past. john lennon and dimebag darrell instantly come to mind. especially dimebag.

Exactly, in todays day and age you dont know if the guy had a knife. I dont mind the 'what if' questions at all as it could have been much more serious. Thats why theres a lot of anger about it and people want to give this guy a kicking and have posted his address/number etc

It was shocking that the guy was allowed that close to the band.
Fair play to Noel for continuing the gig.
