October 30th 2024.
The recent scandal involving Oasis and Ticketmaster has been brought to life in a unique and eye-catching way by the Guy Fawkes Edenbridge Bonfire Society. This society, known for their elaborate and often controversial Guy Fawkes effigies, has unveiled their latest creation - a towering 11-metre-tall figure depicting the Oasis brothers, Noel and Liam Gallagher.
This effigy, set to be burned on November 5th, features the brothers as puppets being controlled by a man in a suit, with the suit covered in exaggeratedly high ticket prices. The message is clear - a nod to the Ticketmaster pricing scandal where fans were forced to pay exorbitant prices due to the introduction of dynamic pricing. And while the Gallagher brothers may have made a lot of money from the scandal, it left many fans feeling ripped off and outraged.
In fact, the scandal has now come full circle as it's been reported that thousands of fans may lose their tickets as overpriced tickets are being recalled and sold at lower prices. The Oasis figure in the effigy is nothing short of iconic, perfectly capturing the essence of the Ticketmaster debacle and the chaos it caused.
This latest effigy from the Kent-based society has gained widespread attention, joining a long list of memorable bonfire figures over the years. The group is known for their satirical take on current events and often pokes fun at politicians and celebrities. Some of their past effigies include Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Sadiq Khan.
Every year, the society creates a Guy Fawkes that pays tribute to a viral moment or controversial news story from the past year. It's become a popular tradition and serves as a cathartic release for many people to see these figures burned up in flames. In 2018, Boris Johnson was the effigy, and in 2019, it was John Bercow holding the heads of Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn.
The society has been making these elaborate Guy Fawkes figures for decades, with past creations including James Hewitt, Anne Robinson, and Edwina Currie. However, due to lockdown restrictions, the effigies were put on hold in 2020 and 2021. This may be why the recent effigies, including this Oasis one, have been particularly spectacular and garnered so much attention.
The burning of the effigy is set to be the highlight of this weekend's festivities, with a procession around the town and a fiery finale. The society welcomes anyone with a story, video, or pictures to get in touch with their entertainment team. So if you have any juicy celebrity gossip or a viral moment you'd like to see burned up in flames, reach out to them - they'd love to hear from you.
