As nearly everyone should know by now, Billie Joe Armstrong kicked a fan offstage for playing the Oasis hit “Wonderwall” at Green Day’s June 30 show in Luxembourg.

The frontman was ending the group’s show in usual form, by inviting a fan onstage to close the night with the Green Day hit “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).” Instead, the fan took the acoustic guitar and began strumming the instantly unmistakable Oasis hit.

“Oh, fuck me,” Armstrong said before taking the guitar from the young man. “Nice try,” he added, as security escorted the fan offstage.

The clip quickly flew across social media, become a viral sensation.

And it didn’t take long for Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher to post a response. The singer has always been one with a snappy and snarky quip, and he didn’t disappoint, quote-posting the video to his X account with a simple comment: “Best song of the night.”

Coincidentally, Liam’s guitar-playing brother Noel has said before that more bands should cover Oasis songs. He even suggested Green Day try their hand at one.

“I’ve always thought most bands should play Oasis songs, anyway. The Foo Fighters should definitely do a couple,” said Noel, who knows a thing or two about making hit records. “Green Day could do even more than one or two. Radiohead? I mean, let’s face it. It’d be a better night out.”

The viral moment is certainly a nice — if unneeded — boost to the upcoming launch of the Oasis reunion tour. Dubbed Oasis Live 25, it kicks off on July 4 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. The tour is limited to the U.K. and Ireland but seems to be growing in scope by the week. Originally planned as a 14-show stint, it now comprises 41 shows through November 23 in North America, Australia, South America and Asia.
