Oasis’ last ever Irish gig was at Slane Castle – and it was a night to remember

The Gallagher brothers last performed in Ireland in 2009, with the late Lord Henry Mountcharles’ son Alex recalling the ‘great craic’ they had at the Co Meath venue

Oasis last performed in Ireland on June 20, 2009 at Slane Castle.

They headlined the Co Meath venue, entertaining a crowd of 80,000 people, with support from The Prodigy and Kasabian.

The son of the late Lord Henry Mountcharles, who died earlier this year, remembered Oasis performing at Slane Castle back in 2009 and how “sound” Noel was.

Alex told us: “It was their first outdoor show they had ever done at that time so I think Slane will always have a place in their history for that reason.

“I’m a big fan of the band. Always have been since they started and I’ll never forget that gig when they supported REM and the headline show was an outstanding Slane.”, reports the Irish Mirror.

“But I wish them all the best for Croke Park. If they want to come to Slane, then ‘walk on by’.”

Alex recalled the occasion he met Noel at the famous Meath venue, describing him as “extremely sound” when they chatted about family life.

“He was extremely sound. A lovely fella and we ended up talking about kids and all kinds of things.

“We both had young kids at the time. He’s a stand-up man. I remember watching Liam in the audience at a U2 gig as well and he was one of the people jumping around really enjoying himself, like myself.”

Lord Mountcharles previously spoke about the excitement surrounding Oasis topping the bill in 2009.

“There was great craic with the Gallaghers because of their Duleek connections, and lots of carry-on over the show,” he said in the past. “Liam wasn’t talking to Noel, and one came by helicopter, and one by limousine. We were very lucky they had a big bust-up afterwards in Paris, thank God it didn’t happen in Slane,” he said.

“But if a call came in the morning saying the guys were back together and would I be up for it I’d say yes straight away!”.
