Encyclopedia
The Dig Out Your Soul Tour was a world concert tour by English rock band Oasis
, in support of their album Dig Out Your Soul
. The tour started in Seattle, WA at the WaMu Theater and was planned to continue until 30 August, where they were scheduled to play their final show of the tour at the I-Day Festival in Milan
, Italy. However, on 28 August 2009, after a fight between the Gallaghers in the backstage, their manager announced the cancellation of their concert at the Rock-en-Seine festival near Paris just minutes before it was about to begin, the cancellation of the European tour and that the group "does not exist anymore", referring a coming statement from Noel Gallagher.
Two hours later, a little before midnight, on the band website, a statement of Noel Gallagher read:
"It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."
"Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan."
jokingly said he considered outplaying The Rolling Stones
' A Bigger Bang Tour
, which was the highest grossing tour of all time with $558 million earned, and lasted over two years. He fell back to minimising it to a year and a half, citing exhaustion as a reason.
The band played a special show for fans in their rehearsal studio on 14 August 2008. The setlist included some of their oldest tunes, but surprisingly included a track from Be Here Now, "My Big Mouth". The band rarely play any of the album's songs live, other than special occasions and acoustic sessions.
So far, all of the tour's concerts are listenable on several forums and blogs.
Midway during their performance of "Morning Glory" in Toronto
, Canada at the annual Virgin Festival, a man ran on stage and shoved Noel to the ground. He then went after singer Liam Gallagher
as well, but Liam dodged the attack and the man was quickly tackled by stage security. The band left the stage, but after five minutes, the show continued. It is unknown how the man slipped past security, although he was seen coming from backstage. A 47-year-old Canadian was charged with assault.
The incident sparked many well known media outlets all across the world, especially in North America, to report on the story.
Due to the injuries Noel sustained in the incident at the Virgin Festival, four concerts were postponed, including the 9 September show in London, Ontario
, and the first three shows of the European leg. In addition, the 12 September concert in New York
was cancelled.
Since the Toronto incident from early September, security for the rest of the 2008 shows had cracked down to disposing personal belongings. Since the start of the summer tour, it has loosened up, noticeably at the Slane Castle shows where many thousands of people had passed security gates without being searched, urging many other people who had not paid to see the band attend as well.

On 1 April, Oasis performed at Seoul
Olympic Stadium
, 3 years after their last gig in Korea at 2006. The band met such a wild and passionate crowd that during the show Noel commented that he was "good to be back...you seem to have grown crazier." The crowd sang along with the band for almost all of the songs including those from Dig Out Your Soul. Throughout the concert, there were repeated requests for the band to play Live Forever. Noel played the song acoustic after the rest of the band left the stage because "somebody said people would be very upset if they didn't hear Live Forever. So this is special for Korean fans." This was a rare occasion for the band to play Live Forever live.
On 30 April, Oasis played their first gig on Lima, Peru selling out all the tickets at Estadio Nacional
, playing for more than 48,000 fans and thus surprising the band, who later on said that it was one of the best shows and crowds on the tour. During an interview in Chile before the show in Santiago, Andy Bell
alongside Gem Archer
said that the Lima gig was possibly his favourite gig and the best they have ever done, saying that it was "really incredible".
On 3 May, Oasis played their fourth gig on Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the end of "Don't Look Back In Anger
", Noel Gallagher got sentimental due the accompaniment of the public towards him. Before "I Am The Walrus
", the people started to sing "Live Forever
" (this also happened in Lima), suggesting the brothers to play it. The band didn't accept and then continued with the final song. After that, Noel Gallagher said it was one of the best shows of his life.
During interviews in early 2009, Noel had stated that this may be the last tour they will ever embark on or at least for several years due to growing older.
On 4 June 2009, Oasis played the first of three concerts at Manchester's Heaton Park
and after having to leave the stage twice due to a generator failure, came on the third time to declare the gig was now a free concert, much to the delight of the 70,000 ticket holders inside the venue. Although in his diary entry he said the gig ended "in fuckin' shambles", he later admitted he still enjoyed himself under the circumstances. An estimated 20,000 fans had taken up the offer to receive a refund, to which Noel Gallagher had jokingly called them all 'Cheeky cunts!'
On 9 July 2009 at Wembley Stadium, Noel dedicated "Live Forever
" to the lead singer of "The Verve
" Richard Ashcroft
who was in the crowd watching the show.
On 9 July 2009 at Wembley Stadium, Oasis suffered yet another sound problem whilst playing their hit song "Wonderwall
" towards the end, but fans at the show were able to sing a long and help the band finish of the song in one piece.
On 11 July 2009 with the rain pouring at Wembley Noel played the guitar to Don't Look Back in Anger and didn't sing a word and the whole crowd sang it back to him, he gave the crowd a round of applause at the end of the song.
On 20 August, at 'The Spa', Bridlington. Yorkshire, Oasis played what seemed to be their last ever gig. The show was watched by under 3000 people, having been hosted in such a small venue. The gig was described as "colossal" and "Very Intimate" by a small number of fans, who were greeted by members of the band, Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell, Chris Sharrock and Jay Darlington, who were signing autographs and allowing pictures to be taken with their fans, outside the venue bar shortly after the gig. Fans were allowed to look inside the Oasis tour bus briefly, moments after Liam Gallagher offered a fan his half drunk beer. Noel Gallagher, however, had disappeared moments after the end of the gig, due to the increasing sibling fall-outs of which the Gallagher's were experiencing.
On 23 August 2009, The band pulled out of their headlining slot at V Festival in Chelmsford. The official reason given was that Liam was suffering with Laryngitis, but rumours started speculating that a split was imminent. This makes the V Festival slot at Weston Park, Stafford on 22 August 9 as the last Oasis gig.
This marked the end of Oasis. On 28 August 2009, Noel admitted he could no longer work with Liam, and that the tour was now finished.
