LONDON-- Oasis [ tickets ] was labeled "fragile" and "paranoid" by concert promoters after the band walked offstage on Wednesday night (7/26) 20-30 minutes into its set at the Paleo Festival in Nyon, Switzerland, and refused to return.

In a statement on its official website. "Oasis was forced to stop short their concert this evening due to a handful of festival goers. Approximately 30 minutes into their performance several bottles, cans and coins were thrown on stage, hitting several band members. Liam Gallagher and the other members of Oasis walked off stage. An announcement was made to the audience advising them that the band wanted to return, but only if nothing further was thrown on stage.

"The band returned to the stage for two more songs, but were once again forced off when both Liam Gallagher and the drummer Alan White were hit with flying debris."

It was also reported that the crowd of approximately 35,000 chanted the name of British pop star Robbie Williams, who Gallagher has an ongoing feud with.

In response to Oasis' claims, Paleo Festival organizers issued a statement on Thursday afternoon, saying, "About 20 minutes into the concert, singer Liam Gallagher...walked off the stage claiming they were under threat from 'flying debris' thrown by members of the audience. The objects thrown on the stage consisted of a few empty plastic bottles and a balloon filled with water. None of these objects hit any of the members of the group.

"The festival's organizers would like to point out that the arrogant and provocative attitude of Liam Gallagher had undoubtedly influenced the audience's attitude. He insulted members of the audience... the objects were thrown after these insults."

Organizers also called Oasis' decision a "paranoid reaction by the group, and not based on a calm analysis of the situation," adding that, "We will not forget tonight and we would hope they wouldn't either. This is the last time we will work together."

Paleo organizers say they will further investigate the evening's events.
