Liam Gallagher is fuming after a dangerous moment at Oasis’ reunion concert in Melbourne, where a fan launched flares into the crowd during the band’s encore performance.

The outspoken frontman took to social media Saturday morning (Nov 1) to blast the culprit, calling them a “massive cunt” and a “seriously fucked up individual” following the frightening incident at Marvel Stadium on Friday night (Oct. 31).

“To the massive CUNT who launched that flare into the crowd last night at the gig in Melbourne you are 1 seriously f**ed up individual and you will get yours trust me,” tweeted Gallagher.

The flare-throwing occurred during Oasis’ closing number, “Champagne Supernova,” when two bright projectiles were seen flying into the packed floor section of the sold-out show. Fans near the front said the scene turned tense as flashes lit up the crowd before security quickly intervened.

Security reportedly conducted thorough bag checks at the gate, though it remains unclear how the flares entered the venue or if any injuries occurred. Marvel Stadium has not yet commented on the incident.

Fans said Liam was visibly irritated on stage, wagging his finger and mouthing “naughty, naughty” toward the floor while brother Noel Gallagher looked on. Despite the disruption, the band finished the performance.

The Melbourne concert kicked off the band’s highly anticipated Live 25 reunion tour. The lineup features Liam and Noel Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell, and Joey Waronker, with Mike Moore subbing for Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, who is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.

Oasis will play two more nights at Marvel Stadium before heading to Sydney’s Accor Stadium for back-to-back shows, continuing a reunion tour already as volatile and headline-worthy as the band itself.
