Noel Gallagher cheers on Manchester City with son Donovan

Noel Gallagher spent some quality time with his son Donovan on Saturday cheering on his beloved team Manchester City at London stadium – while Oasis fans faced long ticket queues for the band’s reunion tour before it sold out completely. 

The rock singer, 57, appeared to be in high spirits as he watched from the stands Manchester City go up against West Ham in the Premier League

It was a tense game with Manchester City securing the win finishing 3-1 after Erling Haaland, 24, bagged the hat-trick. 

Noel cut a laidback figure in a black zip-up jacket as he watched his club go head to head with West Ham to go top of the league. 

He was also joined by his son Donovan, 16, who was spotted in the stands intensely watching the game with his father.

During the game, Manchester City took an early lead in the tenth minute and West Ham equalised nine minutes later via an own goal from Ruben Dias, 27. 

Erling then went on to score his second in the 30th to take City 2-1 up.

West Ham came back strong but were  unable to capitalise with a shot off the woodwork.

Erling scored his third goal in the 83rd minute, taking the game away from West Ham.  

His appearance at the match comes after Oasis fans were left feeling devastated after the band revealed tickets for their summer tour have now sold out. 

Music lovers queued for eight hours battling to get their hands on the gold-dust passes.

The 90s group’s general release sale opened at 8am in Ireland and 9am in the UK, following a limited pre-release sale on Friday. 

Followers quickly posted pictures of their ‘ticket stations’ as they rallied armies of laptops, iPads and mobiles in a bid to increase their chances of getting the highly sought-after tickets.

Bookmakers put the odds of landing one of the 1.4million tickets at just 14/1 on Friday – however, technical issues experienced by many on Ticketmaster didn’t make the odds any better. 

And now the unlucky 93 per cent of applicants have been left devastated – after Liam Gallagher and Noel confirmed all 17 of their shows had been sold out.  

In a message posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, they said: ‘Oasis Live ‘25 UK and Ireland tickets have now SOLD OUT.’

‘Please be aware of counterfeit and void tickets appearing on the secondary market.’

‘Tickets can ONLY be resold, at face value, via Ticketmaster and Twickets.’

Thousands of fans were left devastated after being unable to access Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours and SeeTickets.

Some were forced into a queue just to join the waiting room, while others reported getting kicked out of the ticket sales websites as they got to the front. 

Furious punters – branding themselves ‘real’ fans – claimed they have lost out on the chance to see the Britpop band’s comeback tour to youngsters who ‘only know Wonderwall’.

The 17-date tour runs from July 4 to August 17, kicking off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium before heading to Manchester’s Heaton Park, Wembley Stadium in London, Murrayfield in Edinburgh and Croke Park in Dublin. 

The ticket chaos comes after Noel is reportedly set to reunite with his brother Liam in the South of France ahead of their reunion tour. 

Liam, 51, jetted off to the French Riviera with his mother Peggy, 81, fianceé Debbie Gwyther, and his rescue dog buttons on Friday, while Noel was seen at his recording studios in north London.  

However, sources claimed Noel will soon be joining them all and their mother is thrilled. 

‘Peggy is over the moon that her boys have finally made up after over a decade of not talking,’ A source told The Sun

‘She has remained close to both and never took sides in their row. The prospect of them all being together on holiday is a dream come true.’ 

MailOnline has contacted Oasis’ representatives for comment.  

The guitarist and brother Liam announced on Tuesday they are set to come together on stage for the first time in 15 years to perform across the UK and Ireland. 

On the Matt Morgan podcast, he said: ‘I’ll be all over the place on holiday. I’m going to the South of France for a week and then I’m going to Ibiza for a week. 

Music lovers queued for eleven hours battling to get their hands on the gold-dust passes. However, thousands were left devastated after being unable to access ticket sites

‘Then I’m back in London for a week and then I’m going to Greece for a couple of weeks and then maybe off to LA to see some friends.’ 

It comes after Noel reportedly ‘caved in and agreed’ to the Oasis reunion during a string of late-night phone calls with brother Liam, during which they ended their 15-year feud

The sibling’s fractious relationship came to a head in 2009, after a backstage fight in Paris led to Noel leaving the iconic Britpop band.

In recent years, Liam has been keen to make amends with his brother and reform Oasis, but his older brother poured cold water on the idea. 

But as Liam closed his set at Reading Festival he teased that an announcement could be made on Tuesday at 8:00am. A short clip of a sign in the style of the Oasis logo was projected on a large screen above the stage and subsequently shared to Oasis and Liam’s official Instagram and X accounts.
