Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anaïs hits out at Oasis fans’ ‘ageism and misogyny’

Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anaïs has criticised “ageism and misogyny” among diehard Oasis fans who fear they will miss out on tickets to see the band because of newer, younger fans.

Liam and Noel Gallagher this week announced they were putting aside years of mutual loathing to reunite the group for a series of gigs in 2025.

The scramble for tickets, which go on sale from 9am on Saturday, is likely to be frenetic, and has prompted posts on social media from fans concerned they will miss out to younger people who some feel are jumping on the bandwagon.

One man complained on TikTok : “Imagine waiting 15 years for Oasis to re-form only to lose out on tickets to Chloe, 20, Fiat 500 driver, from Stockport who just wants to hear Wonderwall live.”

Anaïs Gallagher, 24, suggested he better get used to it, posting on TikTok: “One thing I won’t stand for is the ageism and the misogyny around people getting tickets.

“Sorry if a 19-year-old girl in a pink cowboy hat wants to be there, I will have my friendship bracelets ready.”

Gallagher was responding to a post by Josie Cannell who said she had seen people online complaining that “everyone now suddenly loves Oasis”.

She said : “Babe, it’s Oasis. They have 21m listeners monthly on Spotify … everyone fucking loves Oasis! What do you mean everyone suddenly loves them? Everyone has always loved them. They are one of the most famous bands in the whole entire world.”

In another post Cannell said her point was that people could not “gatekeep” Oasis.

“You can’t gatekeep probably the most famous band to come out of the UK, if we’re disregarding the Beatles and stuff like that, but definitely the most famous Britpop band. You can’t gatekeep them.

“They’re one of the most famous bands in the whole entire world.”

The Gallagher brothers will in 2025 reunite 16 years after Noel angrily quit before a show at a festival near Paris citing “verbal and violent intimidation”. It will also be 30 years since the release of their second album, 1995’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?

In a statement the brothers said: “There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion – just the gradual realisation that the time is right.”

They added: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
