Liam Gallagher took a jab at Coldplay during Oasis’s final performance at Heaton Park in Manchester, referencing a now-infamous kiss-cam moment that went viral days earlier. Performing for a crowd of 80,000 fans, Gallagher joked that Oasis wouldn’t subject its audience to “snidey camera shit,” earning huge applause from fans in attendance.

The moment in question occurred during Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour at Gillette Stadium outside Boston. As part of the show’s kiss-cam segment, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were caught on screen. Byron ducked his head while Cabot turned away, fueling speculation about their relationship. Chris Martin quipped they were “having an affair or very shy,” and the footage quickly went viral on TikTok, amassing tens of millions of views.

Following the video’s widespread attention, Astronomer confirmed Byron had resigned from his role as CEO. In an official statement, the company announced that Pete DeJoy would serve as interim CEO while they search for a permanent replacement. The company emphasized that their focus remains on customer service and product development despite the sudden media spotlight.

Gallagher addressed the incident during the Oasis show at Heaton Park. “Do we have any lovebirds in the house?” he asked, before mocking Coldplay’s kiss cam. “Doesn’t matter to us who you’re mingling with, or tingling with, none of our business,” he said to cheers. He then dedicated the song “Slide Away” to “the love birds.”

After five sold-out shows in Manchester, Oasis is slated to perform seven nights at Wembley Stadium. Their last appearance at the venue was during their 2009 Dig Out Your Soul Tour, just before the group disbanded. The recent shows have reignited fan excitement and nostalgia, with Gallagher’s sharp commentary reminding audiences of the band’s unfiltered legacy.

Debate Over Stadium Traditions

The kiss cam, a longtime tradition at sports and concert venues since the 1980s, has come under scrutiny. While meant as playful entertainment, the Coldplay incident has triggered conversations about privacy, workplace dynamics, and the unintended consequences of live audience interaction. Public moments, once seen as harmless, now carry the weight of viral impact in a hyperconnected world.
