Blasting out an alternative rock sound bolstered by the presence of a brass section, the set was off to a thunderous start, with the crowd roaring in appreciation, and joining in for the appropriate singalongs.Īs the set continued with belters like ‘It’s a Beautiful World’ and ‘This Is the Place’, fans got a glimpse of what it was like to catch the iconic Gallagher playing stadiums like he did back in the days of Oasis. Before long though, the attention of each and every person in attendance was given to Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, back for their first Aussie shows since 2016.Īs the eponymous Noel Gallagher swaggered out onto stage, a collective unified cheer rose from the crowd, signalling the start of his set with ‘Holy Mountain’. With thousands of punters as far as the eye could see filling the wide open grounds of the venue, it felt as though everyone in the city had turned up for the show. Check out U2’s ‘Where The Streets Have No Name’: Kicking off their tour in Brisbane earlier this week, the iconic Irish rockers helped their Victorian fans close out their week by taking to the country’s fourth-biggest stadium for a concert that we would not soon forget. Needless to say, it’s a record close to many fans’ hearts, and the opportunity to see them live was not one they were going to pass up.Īfter being forced to witness millions of fans reminisce over one of the greatest albums of the ’80s, Australian fans were lucky enough to receive word of the band’s impending arrival on our shores – their first since 2010’s U2 360° Tour. Inspired by the band’s search for the “real” America, the country’s landscape, its people, literature and myths, the record was a dizzying mix of roots music and the emotional, powerful anthems that the group had already been making for years. Coming three years after The Unforgettable Fire (which saw them tour Australia for the first time), it managed to top charts around the world (except Australia, sadly), and helped turn the group into rock idols almost overnight. Their fifth record, The Joshua Tree was a landmark release in the band’s catalogue.
