A night meant for celebrating the iconic music of Oasis descended into chaos and violence at a reunion tribute concert in Manchester, forcing security to wade into a frantic mass brawl.
Shocking mobile phone footage captured the moment the packed event erupted, with chairs being hurled and punches thrown as terrified fans scrambled to get out of the way. The violent disturbance brought the gig to a grinding halt, shattering the nostalgic atmosphere.
The incident occurred during a performance by the acclaimed tribute band, Noasis, who were performing the seminal album ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?’ in its entirety. The show was a highlight for fans yearning for a taste of the real thing, making the outbreak of violence all the more disappointing.
In the viral video, a large group of men can be seen clashing violently in the middle of the crowd. Security personnel are seen rushing to the scene, attempting to break up the fight and restore order as projectiles fly through the air.
Concert-goers took to social media to express their shock and dismay. One attendee posted on X, formerly Twitter, stating the fight was “madness” and that it was “getting way out of hand.” Another simply lamented, “Some people just can’t handle their gigs.”
The event, held at the O2 Ritz, is now under scrutiny. While the exact cause of the fight remains unclear, the footage paints a picture of a night severely marred by unnecessary aggression, leaving many to question the safety measures in place for such high-energy events.
