Liam has a young live audience now. Why undo that by digging up the dinosaurs to play the Virgin radio classics. FFS. The ‘90s ended way back. Liam has a mixed audience, 16 to 60 at his headline shows. This is a headline show. Oasis at Knebworth was 25 years ago, the name on the ticket is a fucking dinosaur. The vast majority of people going will want Wonderwall over Wall of Glass and Rock N Roll Star over the River, let's not pretend otherwise. What’s your point? If that’s what the vast majority of people want then I’m sure they’ll leave satisfied without anybody needing to wheel Dodgy on stage. |

I just really wish we had more time between the announcement and the start of the ticket sale. I can't afford to pre-order the album AND buy the tickets at the same time right now. Joys of a credit card! |

I really wish Kasabian were replaced by a more current artist but never mind

You're making it sound like Liam Gallagher in 2021 is a youth revolution when the vast majority of the audience go see him for Oasis songs. Knebworth is about history, prestige and spectacle. It's entirely about dinosaurs because except for Oasis, everyone else who's headlined Knebworth has been a long established mega band. Get some decent bands on the bill that'll make it an event with songs people can jump too and sing along with their mates. |

It’s been a really young audience. Obviously more so at the festivals but the same at Finsbury etc. |

That’s exactly what people would say about Oasis on a Kasabian forum! yeah mate i agree, thank fuck this isnt a kasabian forum, but then again its the only time " kasabian" will ever play knebworth so its swings and roundabouts really, Kasabian are well known as oasis fans but i dont think any of them were there in 96 , so serge must be well up for this, its a leg up for them just like Oasis gave them a leg up back in the day, this is history repeating itself The problem with Kasabian is that their success was just riding on the coattails of Oasis. They're like Cilla Black to The Beatles (only less fashionable than Cilla Black.) A lot of fan crossover, but more of the loutish fringe that lap up charmless wankers like Tom Meighan. With a c*nt like that as your frontman, it's really no surprise that chump turned out to be a woman beater. The rest of them hardly condemned him either when he was kicked out, so says a lot about them too. And that's before we even get to the music, which is excruciatingly bad. I'm really not fussed if Liam played a lot of Oasis songs, he's performing them better than he did in the 2000s with Oasis so would be a shame to pass up an opportunity to rip through those classics with a huge crowd. |

Liam should do oasis tours and solo tours. Maybe that would satisfy everyone.
I’d happily go to a solo-songs tour mixed with his oasis tunes, why not, other bands do theme tours and that works. The Oasis one (today’s Liam) i dont really care to be honest.

It’s been a really young audience. Obviously more so at the festivals but the same at Finsbury etc. I've not seen Liam at a festival but from the footage of his 2021 shows, yes I would completely agree. It's been a long time since I've been down the front at gigs but from my experience of being middle to back at Alexandra Palace, Finsbury Park and O2 arena, there have been just as many people 25 - 40 as 16 - 22. Liam has retained a huge following from Oasis and he's adding to it which is great. It effectively puts him in the same bracket as Oasis, U2, Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Foo Fighters and RHCP in the UK whereby there is no venue he won't be able to play because he can sell enough tickets. |

Kasabian was by far the best live show I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen at least 300 different acts. Wasn’t a huge fan of theirs, but went to a show that was at probably 40% capacity and they were so powerful that I had the first and only panic attack of my life the instant they started playing (sensory overload). Thought it might’ve been a fluke, but saw them again and they were even better. Hate them as much as you want, but they’re an incredible live band. |

Have to say I expected Ashcroft to be on the bill but more because they are mates and already done shows together in the past couple of years.
Phonics, Manic Street Preachers... what else? Ocean Colour Scene and Happy Mondays? No need for any of that at the gig. Some people still stuck in the 90s it seems. All these acts are past their prime, hands down. Not a great gig anymore. Liam is doing enough for the nostalgia.
Always enjoyed to see Kasabian live but not sure how thats going now... If Serge would do all the songs it would just not sound well on loads of their songs but a new singer is maybe even worse.

Albeit they’re a nightmare to search for on Google! |

Kind of a cult band now, think they have a couple of gigs next year too. |

Just gets bigger and better for Liam. Hoping there's a third album to support perhaps?? Michael Kiwanuka as a support act is great, but Kasabian? Who the fuck listens to their shite these days? Music by wife beaters for wife beaters. Get with the times Liam and ditch the loutish pricks. What a weird thing to say. I liked Kasabian's early albums, knew nothing about the private lives of Kasabian band members and certainly have never been violent towards anyone. |

Yeah, Kasabian are pretty crap and I think that Liam could have chosen someone much better to support him at Knebworth, even Black Rebel Mortercycle Club (if they're still together) and the Manic Street Preachers or even The Stereophonics would have been better. I wonder how much say Liam even has when it comes to support bands at a huge gig like this. They have to make sure it'll be a profitable event. True. But even so the support line up isn't that great in my opinion. |

IMO Liam needs "royalty" of the era to help him knock this out the park. Manics is a great suggestion, Stereophonics too. Richard Ashcroft should also be there. I'd love BRMC personally. I guess many others would want to see The Charlatans. All bands that would make sense. Kasabian should be a mid-afternoon slot to show people what they're all about now that Tom isn't there, they shouldn't be main support. Don't care about the bottom of the bill, I won't be there in time to see it anyway. Agreed. But as for Richard Ashcroft the question is though would he actually play at Knebworth because we all know what he's been like lately with cancelling gigs. |
