“Don’t Talk To Me If You Don’t Like Oasis”: Gallagher Mania Takes Over Tinder

Oasis concluded their Live ’25 Australian tour dates on Saturday (8 November), and if you thought Gallagher Mania was confined solely to the streets of Melbourne and Sydney, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Tinder notes that, ahead of the band’s triumphant, long-awaited return to Australia, the Oasis obsession took over users’ dating profiles.

According to data pulled from Australian Tinder profiles, there was a steady increase in mentions of the Britpop icons in local bios throughout the year.

That data was backed by a 207% increase from January to November, followed by a 129% increase from September to November, as the tour rapidly approached Australian shores. Tinder also reported that Australian men were six times more likely to mention Oasis in their bios on the app.

Examples of Oasis-related bios include:

“In Sydney for the Oasis concert. Looking for someone to have an after-gig drink with”

“Sorry, but you’ll need to learn all of the Oasis songs to sing along to”

“Looking for someone to take to Oasis”

“Have an extra ticket to Oasis - if you’re keen?”

And our personal favourite: “Don’t talk to me if you don’t like Oasis.”

Data from the band’s team also supported Tinder’s findings. Punters in the 18-24 age group made up 25% of the audience, followed closely by fans aged 25-34 (24%).

After three huge nights at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, Oasis concluded their Australian shows with two nights at Accor Stadium. The tour ultimately drew a combined attendance of over 320,000 fans across five sold-out, historic stadium shows.

"Thanks for putting up with us; we know we were dickheads sometimes,” frontman Liam Gallagher told the enthusiastic crowd in Sydney. “Your support has put us back on the map. Respect! You’ve got a lovely fucking country. See you again.”

The band’s first Melbourne show was praised by The Music’s Christopher Lewis, who wrote: “This wasn’t late-era Oasis desperately trying to grasp the remaining sand in their hands and watching it slowly slip through their fingers. This was an imperious band revisiting their legacy.”

The energy of the show's audience was also noteworthy, with the Seismology Research Centre in the suburb of Richmond picking up the crowd's up-and-down movement. 7 News Melbourne noted that in that time, “the earth was bouncing around like a low-frequency bass speaker.”
