45-Year-Old Suburban Australian Accountant Claims He's Always Casually Worn Windbreakers And Bucket Hats

Close to half a million Oasis fans have been treated to what's being described as a 'near-perfect' run of reunion shows across over the last fortnight, as the Gallagher brothers rocked stadiums across Australia.

With a diehard fanbase that crosses several generations, Oasis has proven that age is not a factor in nearly their 4th-decade as touring artists.

Parents and kids, grandmothers, grandfathers, young lovers and hundreds of thousands of British and Irish transplants are still wearing their beloved Oasis merch across the country today.

And it wasn't just Sydney and Melbourne, with Australian airlines packed with chanting and hungover superfans departing home to the cities that weren't lucky enough to secure a visit from the brothers.

In Betoota's CBD today, one of the town's most diehard Oasis fan is still pinching himself.

"Best money I've ever spent" says Craig Lumberton, a 45-year-old 6th-generation Australian who works as an in-house accountant at a local tile and stone retailer.

"Even in a stadium, the sound and production was perfect. It felt like we were in a Manchester pub. "

The father of three says it was also a rare opportunity for him and his closest mates to spend a couple days reliving their glory days of drinking schooners and watching their favourite band.

And it seems, these glory days include three-stripe ADIDAS tracksuits, windbreaker spray jackets and bucket hats.

Craig appeared confused when his Instagram posts were interrogated by his workmates today, who've never seen him wear anything other than button up shirts and polos.

"What?!" asks Craig.

The questions surrounding his decision to wear trendy British streetwear appears to have struck a chord.

"I didn't just buy that for the show. That's what I always wear" he says, in reference to three items of clothing that all have 'OASIS 2025' printed on them.

"What are you even talking about?"
