BBC Breakfast viewers were left divided on Tuesday as Ben Thompson and Sally Nugent announced Oasis’ UK and Ireland tour
BBC Breakfast presenters Ben Thompson and Sally Nugent stopped the programme for some breaking news about Oasis. Sally kicked off with: “Good morning it is Tuesday 27th of August and our main story in the last few moments, the band Oasis has announced a UK and Ireland tour next year with gigs in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin.”
“They’re known for smashing hits like ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’, and since their split back in 2009, fans have been eager for this moment,” he said before cutting to culture reporter Charlotte Gallagher. Looking to Charlotte, Ben added: “A lot of speculation, a lot of rumour, this is it.”
Charlotte responded: “I am so glad they’ve announced it when we’ve not all just been saying it was going to happen and then they said, ‘We’re going to re-issue an old album, guys’,” reports the Express.
Charlotte dived into details about the 14 tour dates and speculated: “Let’s be honest if they sell out Wembley four dates, they’re going to add more, aren’t they? They may well break Taylor Swift’s record.”
Sally wrapped up the discussion, remarking: “In the statement we have had in the last few moments, they are only fanning the flames basically, aren’t they? The anticipation..”

“Another no news day #BBCBreakfast,” one viewer lamented, while another pleaded: “Please stop talking about Oasis, you said it all yesterday.”
“Surely the BBC should also add that ‘Other bands are available’.#Oasis #BBCBreakfast,” remarked a different viewer, highlighting the need for diverse musical reporting.

Someone else stated: “Oasis must be down to their last £10 million. Personally, I can’t understand the hype. #bbcbreakfast.”
A forthright fan expressed personal disinterest: “Is it just me that doesn’t give a stuff about an #oasis reunion #BBCBreakfast,” while another trivialised the news: “#Oasis the Beatles tribute band gonna announce some gigs. Zzzzzzzzzzz #BBCBreakfast.”
One disgruntled licence fee contributor questioned the public broadcaster’s priorities: “How much time and my TV licence money does the BBC intend to spend on this totally unimportant piece of “news”?” (sic)
Yet, amid the sea of complaints, some fans couldn’t contain their enthusiasm. A thrilled fan proclaimed: “Superb…I’ll be there,” supported by another who celebrated: ” Unreal news, get in!”
