"It was pouring buckets of rain at the Estadio GNP Seguros on Saturday night, when Oasis played one of two sold-out reunion shows in Mexico City. Lined at the entrance were tents stuffed with bootleg tour merch and fans seeking respite from the water. You could hear the sloshing of wet socks and Adidas Sambas as they price-checked knockoff memorabilia emblazoned with the Gallagher brothers' iconically muggy faces."
"Outside the entry gates, father and son Santiago and Omar Zepeda, both sporting bucket hats, had a palpable buzz radiating off them as they eagerly waited to enter the stadium. It was a multigenerationally significant day for them. "I came for the first time with my dad in '98 at the Palacio de Deportes to see Oasis, and now I get to bring my son," said Santiago, who came from Guadalajara with his 14-year-old in tow."
A torrential downpour did not dampen enthusiasm as Oasis performed one of two sold-out reunion shows at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City. Vendors sold bootleg tour merchandise while fans sought shelter and inspected knockoff memorabilia featuring the Gallagher brothers. Multigenerational attendance underscored the occasion, exemplified by a fan who first saw Oasis with his father in 1998 and returned with his own son. The Manchester-bred Gallagher brothers announced an end to their long feud around the 30th anniversary of Definitely Maybe, prompting widespread elation and anticipation for their reunion tour stops in Mexico City.
