Mexico City – I was pouring rain buckets at the GNP Seguros stadium on Saturday night, when Oasis played one of the two meeting shows with exhausted tickets in Mexico City.
Lined at the entrance were the tents full of merchandising of Bootleg Tour and the fans seeking breath of water. You could hear the strain of humid socks and Adidas Sambas while the memories of prices priced imitation with the iconically humid faces of the Gallagher brothers.
For 200 pesos, you could get a shirt with Noel and Liam Gallagher as Fight catsor characters from “Misery” and “The Simpsons. “
While a downpour is not the ideal climatic condition for an outdoor concert, my BOHEMIO FC X OASIS COLLAB Football Jersey It was not seen under a parka of fashion rain: it was certainly appropriate for a band that routinely, maybe obsessively, sings about rain. However, for Mexican Oasis fans who have waited anxiously for years to finally see the brothers to meet, everything was sunsheeeiiiiiine.
Outside the entrance doors, the father and son Santiago and Omar Zepeda, both hats of sports cubes, had a palpable buzz that radiated while they were looking forward to entering the stadium. It was a multigenerationally significant day for them.
“I came for the first time with my dad in '98 in the Sports Palace to see Oasis, and now I can bring my son,” said Santiago, who came from Guadalajara with his 14 -year -old boy. “There was a time when I said we would go without tickets and see what we do. We will enter because We will enter. I feel amazing to have done what I did with my father 27 years later with my son. “

In August of last year, the Gallagher brothers raised with Manchester, who had been openly fighting for decades, declared that the war had ended on the 30th anniversary of their 1994 Juggernaut debut, “perhaps perhaps.”
“Weapons have silenced. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over,” They announced. As the dates of the meeting tour opened, and two stops from Mexico City were announced, Mexican fans expressed pure euphoria and flooded Ticketmaster once the sale was launched. As you can imagine, it was Bedlam online.
Waiting for Ticketmaster, Esteban Ricardo Sainz Coronado, 24, and Sara Pedraza, 25, with fear. The young couple entered Monterrey, Nuevo León, but it was not certain if they would reach what Coronado called “a collective meeting that is cultural and transcends more than the history of music.”
Pedraza waited three hours in the Virtual Ticketmaster line, almost losing school and its opportunity to secure seats while still beaten from the site. “I was still trying and after I don't know how many attempts, it worked,” Pedraza said. “It was a great relief.”
Like Coronado and Sainz, the Tour meeting is the first opportunity of millions of fans to see Oasis play live, since they would have been too young or not even born during its peak. For Oasis heads for a long time, it was an opportunity to be in the community again with his favorite band.
British bands have had a point of support in the alternative scenes of Mexico, with fans of all ages that still packed bars and places to listen to primary screams, blur, pulp and, of course, Morrissey and the Smiths. These groups have had lasting and passionate monitoring that has been explored in booksArticles and films, with Mexicans often feeling a spiritual and cultural connection with the music scene of the United Kingdom that returns to the Beatles. Oasis could have exhausted shows in Mexico 10 times.
After it was broken in 2009 (and, as expected) in 2009, the hope of seeing the Gallaghers fill a stadium with the basic element of the acoustic jam sessions worldwide, “Wonderwall”, mitigated. The brothers endless blows to each other in the media after rupture They did not give fans the hope that they would “live forever.” Mexican fans even prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe That the infamous and combative brothers would not break again even hours before Showtime.
“As long as they don't fight!” Héctor Garduño said, who came to the show with his partner, Sofia Carrera, from Querétaro. “That's what we want, so they don't fight.”

Thanks to the Virgencita, the tour has apparently been all love. The heavens finally clarified on Saturday, and the stadium de fact was filled with the flyers and hymns of Oasis for 2 and a half hours. During the days prior to the quote in Mexico City, fans in my orbit and social feeds discussed how the program would compare with the crowd in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, where Oasis played the previous weekend.
“[Mexican audiences are] On another level, “said Garduño.” I think these guys will be taken by surprise. I hope to jump, shout, cry; The emotion of listening to those songs that really move you. “
Mauri Barranco, who came to the show with her best friend, said: “I feel that we give ourselves a lot. That is why so many artists like to come to Mexico.”
Meanwhile, Alberto Folch, from Mexico City, saw the participation of his own audience as a challenge. “With all vibrations, with all the emotion, we are ready to jump, to show them what Mexico is done,” he said. “Tonight we are rock stars 'n' roll.”
The 65,000 fans present, without a doubt, appeared sobbing and shrieking with unbridled euphoria. Liam Gallagher played with the locals, Charro hat During “Wonderwall” and the closest “champagne supernova” program. The band sounded as if the time had not passed from their salad days, with the voice and musicality of the members possibly more strict than ever, perhaps a positive side effect of retiring from the lifestyle of rock stars now that they are 50 years old. The sound also reverberated through the stadium (greeting to L-Coustics, which provided the sound for the meeting tour), and was praised by the fans with whom I talked throughout the weekend. I heard many emphatic screams of “The sound, Güey!”
Pogo'd together with my companions “Madferits” while we move away from the stage and link the arms To make the poznań: An exclusive movement in each show, borrowed from Manchester City FC fans. During “cigarettes and alcohol” we shouted every letter and we were Sprinkled with flying beers thrown with strident excitement.
I never felt more dizzy of being splashed with beer of spirit, and apparently either anyone around me, which shouted cheerful obscenities in Spanish. Three men behind me even solved in the chests of the other during “Do not look back with anger” and the stadium was filled with cell phone lights while Noel Gallagher sang “Talk Tonight.”
The rain did not fall again, but even if he had done it, he would still have felt like the sun.
