Anaïs, the daughter of Noel Gallagher, has spoken about her experiences so far on the Oasis reunion tour – where she attended the opening twelve gigs in a row.
The Britpop icons are currently on the North American leg of their tour, after multiple nights in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
Speaking on BBC Radio Manchester’s Mad For Oasis show, Anaïs spoke about attending the first twelve shows before having to take a break from the gigs, saying: “I’m knackered, I don’t know how my dad and uncle do it when they’re actually working on stage every night.”
The 25 year-old daughter of Noel Gallagher – who was 9 years-old when Oasis originally split up in 2009 – then went on to speak about just how much she is enjoying the shows: “It’s been great. One of my friends said to me, ‘Are you not getting bored?’ And I’m like, I could never get bored of the shows, they’re just that good that I have an amazing time.”
She then went on to explain how the Poznan is usually the highlight of her night, seeing different friends each show taking part in the signature Manchester City FC fan move where the whole stadium turns their back, links arms with their neighbours and bounces up and down: “It’s so funny, every time I bring my friends, they’re like ‘What are we doing?’ And I’m just like, put your drinks down. They’re like ‘Why am I putting my drink down?’ I’m like, just you wait.”
Although it has been a mostly great time for both Anaïs and everyone in attendance, she did explain the one thing that she struggled with during the shows: “The only thing that’s quite draining about being on tour is the amount of people I need to talk to.
“I’m a good daughter, I’m a good host, so I want to make sure everybody’s in their seats and everybody’s got a drink and everybody knows where the fire exits are and like where they need to be and that kind of thing, but that can get a bit tiring after a while.”
Oasis are currently at the start of their North American tour which kicked off in Toronto last weekend. They will now head to Chicago, East Rutherford, Pasadena and Mexico City before heading back to Wembley Stadium for two final nights in the UK. Later in the year they will conclude the tour with shows in South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil.
