Oasis will play their first shows in 16 years and fans have gone absolutely wild at the news. After years of acrimony, the Gallagher brothers have put aside their differences and will play shows in London, Dublin, Manchester, Edinburgh and Cardiff.
While the year 2009 may feel like it happened just yesterday, so much has changed in a decade and a half. Plenty of gadgets, devices and apps we take for granted now didn’t even exist the last time Liam and Noel took to the stage.
Fans are being advised to watch out for ticketing scams, while Ticketmaster has issued its top tips to make sure you don’t miss out. Oasis tickets will go on sale at 9am on Saturday, 31 August.
But while you are waiting for tickets to go on sale, let’s take a little trip back in time and see what everyday items we take for granted in 2024 no longer exist. Let us know which you can’t go without.
9. Peloton bikes
Every Christmas, like clockwork, we are bombarded with new adverts from Peloton - heck you probably remember that iconic nightmarish ad from a few years back. But when Oasis last played a show, if you heard the word peloton your mind may have gone to the Tour De France if it meant anything to you at all. After starting with a KickStarter, the first Peloton bikes were released in 2014. Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty Images | Joe Raedle/Getty Images Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty Images
10. USB-C chargers
Probably all your phones and gadgets use a USB-C cable for charging these days, even Apple have jumped on the bandwagon and left the lightning cables in the past. But they didn’t exist when Oasis last played a show in 2009, in fact they weren’t introduced until 2014 a whole half a decade later. Photo: PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images | PATRICK T.
