i'm neither form uk nor a fan of the band, btw. i actually can't stand them, probably why i so vividly remember when they were on top 20 years ago.

Oasis at their peak did not go pass 3-4000 tix outside of UK. Now that is a fact. I'll pick out randomly, Berlin '96 Huxley's Neue Welt cca 2000, Frankfurt - Offenbacher Stadthalle - 3000.
Now we are talking What's the story morning glory tour.
Yes, they did sell out 2 mights at Knebworth, but that is in - UK.
After Knebworth they went for US tour and played Irving fucking Plaza in NYC!
That is like 1500.
Brits just have to understand, Oasis, Blur, Muse, Suede were HUGE, but that planet is called UK.
Same thing like Arctic Monkeys...In UK they are huge, rest of Europe they play festivals at 2 pm, on the smallest stage festival has in front of like 150 ppl.
Outside UK, they were fucking irrelevant. Europe, Asia, US, Canada just didn't give a fuck about them.
Oasis at their peak played in Europe size venues TSP did '92-'94.
