Oasis kicked off the Sydney leg of its Australia tour on Friday night to a crowd of screaming fans, but one spectator was unable to keep his eyes open throughout the two-hour-long gig.
A man, who looked to be in his early 40s, didn’t seem to be too impressed by the live performance from the iconic British rock band led by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher.
Sitting in $700+ seats with two friends at the sold-out show, he drifted in-and-out of sleep throughout the entire show, held at Accor Stadium in Homebush in Sydney’s west.
When he wasn’t on the nod, the man checked his email, Shazamed songs – even the bands biggest hits – and bizarrely played on graphic design app Canva.
Patrons in the seats behind him were left outraged, shaking their heads at his blatant disrespect for the band who had returned to Australia for the first time since 1994.
The show, which has received stellar reviews in both Melbourne and Sydney, also made headlines after a clip shared to Instagram moments before the concert showed thousands of fans stuck in line outside Accor Stadium — with just 45 minutes until the main act was due on stage.

A fan posted the footage to the Bondi Lines account, describing the queue as ‘f***ed’ and ‘not moving at all.’
‘Few people missing out on [the] first song,’ one person responded in the comments.
‘It was crazy! And no staff around,’ another added.
Some people blamed the concertgoers rather than staff, saying they should have arrived at the venue earlier if they wanted to get inside quickly.
‘Not that fook’n hard to understand—get there EARLIER,’ one wrote.
‘Should [have] got here earlier then like me,’ added someone else.
Some fans began queuing outside Accor Stadium well into the early hours of Friday morning, with the gates opening at 6pm and the show starting at 7.30pm.
Meanwhile, others pointed to the opening Australia show in Melbourne last Friday as the source of the lengthy lines in Sydney.
‘Security are probably checking for flares,’ one person commented.
‘You can thank the person who brought the flare to the first Australian concert for that!’ someone else wrote.

Daily Mail has reached out to Accor Stadium for comment.
Frightening scenes unfolded during the opening show at Marvel Stadium last week, with Britpop legends Liam and Noel Gallagher playing to 55,000 screaming fans.
The iconic brothers were left stunned halfway through their song Champagne Supernova when one fan set off flares in the middle of their set.
Footage of the incident showed the bright red light illuminating the nosebleeds before someone threw a flare into the surrounding crowd.
It landed on the ground amid the packed moshpit, burning as concertgoers attempted to back away from the glare.
Liam, 53, and Noel, 58, didn’t let the disruption interrupt their set, though the younger of the two called out the reckless act when he finished singing.
‘That was naughty. Naughty, naughty, naughty,’ he said as he wagged his finger at the culprit before continuing on with the show.
However, according to one attendee, Noel ‘looked worried’ about the incident.
Liam later took to X – formerly Twitter – to slam the culprit yet again.
‘To the massive C*** who launched that flare into the crowd last night at the gig in Melbourne you are one seriously f***ed up individual and you will get yours trust me,’ he vowed.
