Big question is, who's going to be on bass?

My bet would be Andy Bell (ex-Ride, not Erasure )

From what I`ve read yes, Andy Bell has the (rather non-existent) low-end role

Given the lack of volume of the bass on Oasis records either Andy Bell would be fine, and the Erasure one would definitely be more interesting to watch on stage.

That pretty much precludes him then.

The last time I saw him was an unforgettable experience. Not necessarily in a good way. He might just have had one too many cans of Tango that day

Not sure about Noel, but Liam was a fairly loud and unashamed homophobe back in the day and has yet to show any real indication of personal growth or reflection on any past views, so I can't quite picture it. One of the reasons so many people so emphatically reject any nostalgia for the whole 90s lad culture business...

Someone I know said that the line up is really High Flying Birds plus Liam.

They should get Matt Lucas in his Adidas tracksuit, not to play bass, just to annoy all the dad rock Wellends in the audience who spaffed thousands to see Oasis.
 

"Peanuts!!!"

I saw Erasure in the relatively early days when Andy Bell's favoured stage wear was a latex leotard and DMs and Vince Clark hid behind his synths under a cloud of embarrassment. It was a great gig and IMO bands with a flamboyant front person are all the better for it.

When I last saw him his tiny silver sequined shorts were somewhat obscured by his belly. The time before that (The Neon tour) he was in a blue silk basque - a much better look. Yes, gotta love a bit of flamboyance

Given a choice between Oasis and Erasure I know which act I'd rather see; let's put it this way - there wouldn't be many guitars on stage.

Extra dates announced due to unprecedented demand. 😂🙄

 

But entry through a ballot...

Quality quip from Liam.

 

I have loads of tickets going, they're £100k each, but kneeling only.
