After a long wait, an organizer then announced to the crowd of 30,000 people that the band would not play and that Oasis no longer existed. “JI just couldn’t work with Liam one more day.“, had explained the same evening Noel Gallagher on the official site of the group.
“Since Wednesday, John (the nickname of the festival, editor’s note) and his teams have been doing everything possible to welcome festival-goers, partners, teams and of course, artists. We would like to point out that Liam Gallagher has cut short his concert for reasons totally unrelated to the festival“, said the organizers in a press release published on the festival website, without specifying the origin of this gesture.
“We are sorry for this situation, but the professionalism of our teams cannot be called into question.e”, add the organizers.
