Blur drummer Dave Rowntree has expressed his delight to see Oasis back together, sharing that he would be “first in the queue” to see the band live.The two Britpop bands were locked in an infamous rivalry throughout the 1990s, but it seems the Blur drummer is holding no grudges as long-feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher announced last week that they would be reuniting as Oasis for a series of 17 summer stadium gigs across the UK and beyond.Tickets went on sale over the weekend and sold out at 7pm, though the dynamic pricing structure and price fluctuation has caused much controversy and may even breach consumer law, according to experts.In a new interview with the BBC, Rowntree – who last year told El Pais that the bands now “all get along well” – said he would “definitely go and see” the Gallagher brothers’ long-awaited comeback tour next year.The drummer, who also ran as Labour’s MP candidate in Mid Sussex in the general election, added that he would be “first in the queue”, since he had never seen Oasis perform live before.“Blur and Oasis combined changed what the pop music genre meant, and that doesn’t happen very often,” he added.The musician went on to explain how people often applied “their particular prejudice” when it came to the apparent rivalry – which he said served as “helpful media hype” – between the two bands.“So people wanting to see England as a North-South divided country could lay that on there, people that wanted to view it in terms of class could do that,” he added.Rowntree’s comments come after Blur frontman Damon Albarn last year said the “road is clear” for an Oasis reunion.
