Devoted Oasis supporters are up in arms after a towering fence was erected at Knebworth Park, partially blocking the iconic view of Knebworth House - the historic backdrop of the band's legendary 1996 concerts.
The controversial barrier appeared just days before Liam Gallagher's sold-out solo performance at the same venue, leaving many fans accusing organisers of prioritising profits over the concert experience.
'It's a disgrace' say furious fans
Social media has exploded with complaints from disappointed attendees who paid up to £99.50 for tickets. 'This is an absolute joke,' tweeted one fan. 'We came for the full Knebworth experience, not to stare at a fence.'
Organisers defend security measure
Event officials claim the fence is a necessary safety precaution, stating: 'All major events require appropriate security and crowd management measures to ensure everyone's safety.'
However, many concert-goers remain unconvinced, pointing out that previous events at the venue managed security without obstructing views of the picturesque stately home.
A bitter echo of 1996?
The controversy has drawn inevitable comparisons to Oasis's historic 1996 shows, when an estimated 2.5 million people - about 4% of the UK population - applied for tickets to what became one of British rock's defining moments.
With Liam Gallagher set to perform Oasis classics alongside his solo material, many had hoped to recapture the magic of those legendary gigs - making the fence dispute particularly poignant for die-hard fans.
