The heated debate between Gen-Z and Gen-X appears to be continuing following the long-awaited Oasis reunion tour announcement.
Millions of fans flocked to social media to share their excitement after Liam and Noel Gallagher announced their comeback tour.
But old school fans are fuming that Gen-Z are even thinking about getting tickets to their reunion shows, with some Gen-X supporters claiming they shouldn’t be allowed into the concert.
Some fans on TikTok joked those who only know one or two Oasis songs should be banned from getting tickets.
One post read: ‘How is everyone in their dog suddenly an Oasis fan as soon as these rumours came out? I’m sorry I am not losing tickets to a Wonderwall warrior’.

Another penned: ‘Everyone suddenly becoming Oasis fans this morning when really they know two songs.’
Some middle-aged fans believe younger listeners shouldn’t be allowed to go if they ‘didn’t live through’ the band’s prime in the nineties and 2000s.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) Brits of all ages quipped their thoughts, with some insisting that tickets should to ‘over 40s only’ and others arguing that you can’t ‘gatekeep’ Oasis.
Fans wrote: ‘Wincing at all the under 25’s jumping on the Oasis bandwagon. If you didn’t live through it the first time you’ve got to sit this one out for the dads and the aging indie kids. Sorry I don’t make the rules.’
‘Imagine waiting 15 years for Oasis to reform only to lose out on tickets to Chloe, 21 from Stockport who just wants to hear Wonderwall live #oasisreunion.’
‘Why are you gatekeeping Oasis LMAO.’
‘First dibs at Oasis tickets should go to the over 40s only. What do you reckon?’
Oasis is tipped to announce even more dates for their long-awaited reunion tour, which music insiders say will ‘sell out in less than three minutes’.

The sibling’s fractious relationship came to a head in 2009, after a backstage fight in Paris led to Noel, 57, leaving the iconic Britpop band (pictured together in October 2008)
The band, rejoined by their original guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, will play 14 concerts in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin next summer.
Tickets to the Oasis Live 25 tour will go on sale at 9am on Saturday. A presale will be held on Friday for certain fans that will be selected from a ballot pool.
More than 4 million fans are expected to be vying for the 1,066,888 tickets available across the 14 gigs, with sources telling The Sun that once they sell out ‘extra dates will be added for sure’.
Industry insiders have also claimed that Bonehead is ‘confirmed’ for the tour and ‘ecstatic’ that the band is back together. Liam and Noel Gallagher reportedly ‘both wanted him in the fold’ after he was ‘one of the drivers of the reunion’.
Oasis split in 2009 after many years of infighting, with Noel officially leaving the band just before a performance at a festival near Paris, saying at the time he ‘simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer‘.
Even before the dissolution 15 years ago, the brothers had long had an antagonistic relationship and reportedly did not speak to each other for years after the breakup.
Fans have been pleading with the brothers to regroup since they disbanded and are now preparing for what they have hailed as the ‘ticket bloodbath of the century’.
‘These shows will sell out in less than three minutes. Extra dates will be added for sure,’ an insider told The Sun.

Liam and Noel confirmed Oasis’s long-awaited reunion with a worldwide tour in 2025 and also alluded to past tensions in the tour announcement on Tuesday.
‘The guns have fallen silent,’ Oasis said. ‘The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.’
A black and white image of the two brothers, both in dark jackets, was also released as part of the announcement.
The Britpop band, who split nearly 15 years ago and released their chart-topping album Definitely Maybe around three decades ago, announced the series of dates will kick off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
The UK and Ireland tour will also visit Manchester’s Heaton Park, London‘s Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh‘s Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin’s Croke Park throughout July and August next year.
Liam clarified on X, formerly Twitter, that the UK and Ireland leg of the tour is ‘the band’s exclusive European appearances’.
The dates are as follows: Principality Stadium July 4 and 5; Heaton Park July 11, 12, 19, 20, 25 and 26; Wembley Stadium August 2 and 3; Murrayfield Stadium August 8 and 9; and Croke Park August 16 and 17.
