Index – Culture – Despite his demand, Sziget's lead performer did not deliver his biggest hit.

He hates his brother, because so many people despise him, and yet one of the most anticipated artists in Sziget this year is Liam Gallagher, who hasn't changed a thing in the last 30+ years – the same move, the same voice, the same atmosphere. We've seen one of the most honest rock stars in the world, who didn't care about the audience at all. And the thing is, he did it right. And no one else can do it after him.

Cain and Abel

Liam Gallagher is an icon. A unique, fierce, lone wolf. At least the last few years have been proof of that. He was the leader of one of the most famous bands in the world, Oasis, and everyone loved him, but the success story was rejected. He did not really get along with his brother Noel Gallagher, who signed him to the band, and despite the whole world pushing the brothers to settle their differences, the stubborn Englishmen refused to reconcile with each other, and the band broke up in 2009.

Oasis are officially no more, but the Gallaghers continue to play, with great success. The last time they performed together was at the Sziget Festival in Hungary, but since then they have only come to Budapest separately. Noel delighted the crowds in 2016, and Liam took to the Sziget main stage in 2018 and again this year, but in a completely different time period – six years earlier, but this year as a headliner.

Sziget is 30, Oasis' debut album, Definitely Maybe, is 30, and Liam Gallagher isn't taking it easy, playing the now-famous record from start to finish on his tour this year. He's also come to our country with this show.

At 9:15 p.m., the archival footage appeared on the Seagate Main Stage projector, and then the world's most understated rock star appeared. The party broke out. rock and roll star With the song, they didn't slow down for a minute during the hour-and-a-quarter concert. The legendary songs followed one after the other, and the audience screamed at the top of their lungs, even though many of them weren't even alive when the disc hit store shelves.

He drinks himself, and if so, he's not afraid to use his fists either. He is like that and he doesn't want to change. It won't happen. The audience is impressed by his unique and frank style, which the artist only thanks with his songs, you can't expect an over-reaction at his concerts.

As in 2018, Gallagher took to the stage in a regular windbreaker, there was no choreography, and the scenery was minimal. It was decorated with flamingos on the sides, palm trees behind, and a large globe in the middle, although it had nothing to do with the show at all. On the other hand, the English genius proved that it is possible to throw a perfect party on the Seagate main stage without the fireworks. While Kylie Minogue took to the same stage with a group of dancers and Halsey amidst fireworks and flames, Liam Gallagher brought just his band and the success was not lacking. Despite

In 2018, he played his solo songs and his former band’s songs, but this year’s show was completely different, except for one song where we could only hear Oasis songs. Liam is so relaxed that he doesn’t care about the audience’s needs at all. Push the show you want. It’s completely different from what fans expect. That’s how it was now.

Rock music isn’t dead. Not to the point where even a 30-year-old concept album can move tens of thousands of people, most of whom aren’t much younger than the songs. The festival lineup has recently undergone a major shake-up, with rock bands being booted from the main stage, and only Liam Gallagher has managed to stand out this year as a representative of the style that so many love. Still, it has to be said that he was a great choice to bring. We couldn’t have gotten that kind of simplistic honesty from anyone else.

It was a mood and not a huge success.

Gallagher's English accent is so strong that it was hard to understand what he was saying between songs, though he didn't over-communicate, it was the music – and the LED walls – that did the talking. They kept the visuals very simple, and the animations on the projectors were more than enough to support the overall atmosphere.

It's not easy to replace my brother. Liam Gallagher is touring the world with three guitarists. By the way, one of them looks eerily like Noel. The band was amazingly united, they brought down the party without a single mistake. In addition to the three guitarists, the hero of the evening was accompanied by a bassist, a drummer, a keyboardist and three singers, who not with his voice but rather

Even if he didn't move at all. He only had the inevitable rattle in his hand, but he didn't overuse it either.

Oasis was one of the most popular and successful bands in England, along with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Gallagher made no secret of his admiration for the former, because it was his concert. I am rude He concluded with his performance, which the audience listened to with enthusiasm and smiles. The original fans did not miss anything, but the fans of the hit songs did. Despite the demand of many in the crowd

It's easy to imagine that he was really bored, so he did what no artist would dare to do. This also proves that Liam Gallagher is different from the rest. There are no rules for him, he does what he wants, and the thing is, he does it amazingly. The audience appreciates this too.
