Vernon Kay Responds to Fans Questioning His Oasis Tickets After Dancing Video at Heaton Park

Vernon Kay has hit back at fans who have questioned how he got multiple tickets for the highly-anticipated Oasis tour. 

The Radio 2 presenter, 51, has been following brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher around the UK after they kicked off their 41 date tour earlier this month. 

Vernon was lucky enough to be among the crowd at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff to watch Oasis and also shared videos on Instagram of himself watching the gig in Manchester this weekend. 

The fact that the TV star has appeared at two of the bands reunion gigs has left some music fans questioning how he got tickets.

One fan wrote: ‘How did Vernon get so many tickets? Cardiff now Manchester!!’, while another added: ‘How did you get to go again. Lucky’.

Vernon was quick to hit back, be replying: ‘There are no free Tix. Or guest list. Paid for mine….’, he also added: ‘Paid for them!!’

Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, launched their Oasis Live ’25 Tour in Cardiff on July 4 where they performed for two nights and are now in the midst of a five night run at Manchester’s Heaton Park. 

In the video from Cardiff, Vernon rocked a blue Oasis bucket hat as he made his way with the crowd into the stadium. 

Sharing a new video this weekend, the star, who is married to Strictly star Tess Daly, donned a black bucket hat and a retro football shirt as he sang along with the 80,000 strong audience.

He penned: ‘Manchester! Day1. @oasis The excellence continues! Bravo!!’ along with a flame emoji. 

The DJ has also been hosting his Radio 2 show from Heaton Park as he interviewed support act Cast ahead of the weekend shows. 

It comes after BBC Radio 2 and Greatest Hits Radio were both forced to find stand-ins and make last-minute shake-ups their schedules after both Vernon and Ken Bruce were caught up in the railway disruption.

Vernon was due to begin his Radio 2 slot at 9.30am, but failed to arrive after becoming ‘trapped’ on a broken down Chiltern Railways train in the sweltering heatwave.

Sara Cox, who is already standing in for Scott Mills, stepped in to take the reigns, extending the Breakfast Show for 30 more minutes and explaining the situation to listeners.

The DJ – who coincidentally also hails from Vernon’s hometown of Bolton – said: ‘Oh no, I’ve just realised I’m not gonna be in time for reformer Pilates.

‘If you just joined in and you’re thinking Vernon is sounding a little extra-manly today, don’t worry. It’s me: Sara, from the same area obviously, though famously.

‘Vernon, poor Vernon stuck on a hot, sweaty train with no coffee, no air-con, no deodorant. So he’s going to get in at some point, hopefully.’

Vernon himself took to his Instagram Stories to lament the situation, sharing a selfie onboard the train with the caption: ‘The train isn’t training. Hang fire @djsaracox Send deodorant and coffee!’

As the delay stretched on, broadcaster Gary Davies took over from Sara at 10am to fill in for Vernon, telling listeners: ‘I was supposed to be teeing off around now, but it’s just going to have to wait.

‘If you just tuned in and wondering were Vernon is, he was on his train like usual and the train broke down and so he has been in sweltering hot heat and they had to send a rescue train which also broke down.

‘He’s not going nowhere. And he’s still trying to get here. Will he make it or not? If you spot him let me know where he is.’

But it wasn’t only Vernon who was caught out by the railway chaos, with Ken, 74, also missing the start of his slot on his Greatest Hits Radio show.

The veteran broadcaster hosts the weekday from 10am to 1pm, but didn’t make it to the studio until 11.38am after also becoming trapped on the train.

Simon Ross stepped in to present the first 30 minutes, saying: ‘Ken was stuck on a train and will hopefully arrive in time for PopMaster’ before Claire Sturgess then took over.
