Summer Sonic Rock Festival, 千葉

Summer Sonic is the equivalent of the V festival in England, with one line up playing on Saturday in Osaka and Sunday in Chiba (next to Tokyo) and vice versa for the other line up. Oasis were the headlining act this year on the Sunday and followed The Ordinary Boys, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Kasabian and Weezer on the main stage albeit 40 minutes late due to a power failure caused by a faulty generator. That was the 5th time I'd seen Oasis and although the banter on stage wasn't quite as entertaining as usual and perhaps their performance wasn't the best I'd seen, they went down really well with the Japanese crowd and the new songs sounded great, especially 'Lyla'.



Oasis's set was as follows:

Fuckin' In The Bushes / Turn Up The Sun / Lyla / Bring It On Down (dedicated to the generator that broke down) / Morning Glory (dedicated to any lesbians in the audience) / Cigarettes & Alcohol (dedicated to the audience) / The Importance Of Being Idle / A Bell Will Ring (dedicated to boxer Ricky Hatton) / Live Forever / The Meaning Of Soul / Mucky Fingers / Champagne Supernova / Rock 'n' Roll Star / Wonderwall / Don't Look Back In Anger / My Generation
