Noel Gallagher makes brutal dig at Royal Family on stage at Croke Park

Noel Gallagher found himself on the receiving end of some savage boos when he took to the stage for Oasis's final night in Ireland on their current 2025 tour. The 58-year-old was performing the second of two nights at Croke Park in Ireland when he appeared to anger his audience.

Before performing Half The World Away on Sunday night, Noel - who stunned fans last year when he reunited with brother Liam Gallagher to announce the current Oasis Live '25 Tour, asked: "Anyone from Manchester?" However, he hadn't anticipated the response, as the crowd started booing.

Shocked by the response, he added: "Excuse me, excuse me? Booing for the people in Manchester? Oh no, no, no, no, that won't do! Be nice!"

As he introduced Half The World Away, he said: "This is for the Royle Family – the real Royal Family," a swipe at the House of Windsor. Ahead of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, he said he wasn't "anti-royal" but noted that the "appeal" of the monarchy had been "dwindling".

"There are other things for people to be interested in," he commented, before branding the monarchy as "a bit farcical."

The frosty response from the audience in Dublin could not keep down a successful weekend for Noel and Liam - who played two sold out gigs at the iconic Irish venue - which can house over 80,000 audience members at a time. They performed to a packed crowd on Saturday night - which included some family members in the audience.

Liam revealed that his mother, Peggy, was watching from the stands on Saturday as he dedicated a track to her. Before performing Stand By Me, he told the audience: "This one I want to dedicate to my mum, my mum is here tonight."

Proud mum Peggy has been supporting her sons since they decided to put aside their differences to perform for fans after a hiatus that began in 2009.

In an interview in June, the Gallagher Mawas asked if she had anything to do with the reunion between Noel and Liam. She said: "I was the instigator, yes. But sure, wasn't it always going to happen at some time or other? It was their choice, of course. Look, you can't force them to do things they don’t want to do."
