Who followed the first shows of the historic return of the Oasis In Cardiff he was able to witness one of the most electrifying moments of the tour. In the middle of the second show, moments before “Cigarettes & Alcohol” explode by speakers, Liam Gallagher made a seemingly simple request for the crowd: “From The Poznan” (“Do Poznan”). The result? A synchronized human wave that spread through social networks and became one of the great symbols of this epic tour.

But after all, what the hell is the POZNAN?

The story has started about 15 years ago, away from the British stage, in a Polish city that lends its name to this peculiar dance. THE Lech Poznanthe local team of the city, went to play on Manchester against the Cityprecisely the heart club of brothers Gallagher. The game? Manchester City 3 x 1 Lech Poznan. But the score mattered little before the show in the stands.

Six thousand Polish fans positioned their backs to the field, arms intertwined by the shoulders, jumping in perfect harmony, creating hypnotizing visual waves. It was a silent protest against the club’s board, but at the same time a pure demonstration of loyalty – they kept cheering, even with their backs to the game.

Noel… Well, he prefers to watch the game normally. Last year, it went viral a video where the entire fans of the City made the POZNANexcept him.

Now, on the tour Live ’25this football passion overflowed to the shows. In Toronto, Liam He literally needed to teach the Canadians to make the movement, playing with the stereotype that they would be “shy” or would be “too stoned” for dance. “Come on their backs, hug each other and jump. It’s very easy,” the frontman explained with his typical irreverence.

THE POZNAN became a ritual moment of the shows, especially during “Cigarettes & Alcohol”. In Wembley Stadium, until Dua Lipa and JARVIS COCKER They were caught participating in the collective dance, proving that the movement transcended the universe of rock and football.

And when it is our turn? When the brothers Gallagher Step on Brazilian soil, we already know what to expect. Get ready to turn your back, embrace the unknown next door and jump like there is no tomorrow. After all, after 15 years separated, even a Polish protest can become pure magic in the hands of Oasis.
