For every sold out Goliath stadium tour there is a local theatre in Nottingham putting on a tribute night.

The Sound of Neil Diamond, Tribute Act

For every Led Zeppelin, there’s a Whole Lotta Led, for every Beatles, there’s The Cheatles, and for the ladies office party, there’s The Sound of Neil Diamond tribute. What of Oasis?… An initial search on one tribute bands directory resulted in not one single act listed as following in the footsteps of Manchester’s finest. Perhaps anyone who dared to don the retro sun-shades, black hooded jacket and tight fitting jeans before sneering Wonderwall into the mic, were taking outside for a good kicking. A further search of Google proved me wrong… Definately Might Be, Oasish and Soasis are all currently filling a working-man’s club or seaside pier near you.

Oasish 'The UKs Leading Tribute to Oasis'

The reason such tribute acts exist is to fulfill the gaping void left when a band acrimoniously split, burn out or, in the case of Oasis, sell out their tour dates in minutes. Hence, the Oasis tribute acts are thriving right now.

Oasis Live in Concert, Lille Zenith & POP Bercy, Paris, 2009

So, Oasis’s biggest ever UK stadium tour sells out. Now what? You could get yourself down toThe Half Brick in Worthing on the 6th December and see Oasish play live (and see Stereotonics on the same night). Or, you could see the real deal - Oasis live in Lille in January or Oasis live in concert, Paris in March. Short Breaks are offering Eurostar and concert breaks packages from only £179 (Elton John, Paris, December) as well as packages to see The Killers £189, and Oasis from £199.

The Fairy-Godmother of Pop, the legendary, flamboyant artist Elton John takes to the stage in Paris on 9th December.

Elton John Live in Concert, POP Bercy Paris, 9 December 2008

Bringing his outrageous Las Vegas Show, The Red Piano, which has been running at Caesars Palace since 2004 to the French Capital for one night only, Elton will be treating his audience to his back catalogue of classics such as ‘Rocket Man’, ‘Candle in the Wind’ and ‘Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting’.

Tickets for Elton John playing live in Paris are of course very much in demand right now. Back in May 2007, fans were left disappointed when part of the tour, scheduled for later that year, was cancelled.

Any fans who missed out last year need not worry this time around…Short Breaks do still have a limited allocation of tickets left. And the news gets even better - We’ve just reduced our package price from £219 to just £179. (Hotel and ticket-only breaks are also available from £125).
