Liam Gallagher has weighed in after a fan brought on stage at a Green Day show played Oasis’ “Wonderwall” instead of the punk group’s “Good Riddance.” Someone posted a clip of the incident, which resulted in Billie Joe Armstrong booting the fan from the stage, on X, leading Gallagher to quip, “Best song of the night.”
During the show, which took place in Luxembourg, Armstrong welcome a young man on stage to perform “Good Riddance” on the guitar, something that has become tradition at Green Day concerts. Instead of playing “Good Riddance,” he started performing “Wonderwall.” Thinking that maybe his guest had just started playing it in the wrong key, Armstrong gave the guy some quick instructions, and even remarked with a laugh, “You told me you could play this one!”
The guitarist then launched into an unmistakable rendition of “Wonderwall,” getting through the lead progression once before Armstrong clocked what was going on. “Oh, fuck!” the frontman exclaimed, grabbing his guitar back, before the guest was promptly ushered off the stage.
Oasis is preparing to kick off their highly-anticipated reunion tour, which begins July 4 in Cardiff, Wales. The tour reunites brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher after years of disharmony and has led to some speculation about whether there will be more from the band after the concerts. It includes 41 dates across the U.K., Ireland, North America, Asia, Australia, and South America.
Earlier this week, Oasis announced a 30th anniversary deluxe edition of their seminal album, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, which featured “Wonderwall.”
