Australian fans have been left outraged after Oasis stars Noel and Liam Gallagher cheekily mocked the Aussie accent during their sold-out show in Melbourne on Friday.
The Britpop legends were performing a sing-along of their iconic song Don’t Look Back in Anger with the packed crowd of 55,000 people at Marvel Stadium when they made the quip.
During the chorus, guitarist Noel, 58, mocked the roaring crowd over their very pronounced Australian accent.
‘Anga? Anga? What the f***ing hell is “anga”?,’ a confused Noel asked, as Liam looked on in amusement.
Furious fans quickly took to social media to slam the Manchester natives for making fun of the iconic Australian accent.
‘As if he says it any better LMAO,’ one person quipped.

‘He’s insufferable,’ a second added and another chimed in: ‘International bully’.
However, another suggested the brothers were simply displaying their trademark cheeky humour.
‘I was there last night, I would be surprised if anyone took offence to that comment. The Poms and the Aussies have been taking the p**s out of each other on how we pronounce words for a couple of centuries now,’ one person wrote.
It comes after the outspoken brothers kicked off the Australian leg of their world tour with a literal bang on Friday night.
Oasis performed in Melbourne at Marvel Stadium to thousands of screaming fans for the first of their sold-out shows Down Under.
But the iconic brothers were left stunned halfway through their song Champagne Supernova when one fan set off flares in the middle of their set.
Footage of the incident shows the bright red light illuminating the nosebleeds before someone threw a flare into the surrounding crowd.
It landed on the ground amid the packed moshpit, burning as concertgoers attempted to back away from the glare.

Liam, 53, and Noel didn’t let the disruption interrupt their set, though the younger of the two called out the reckless act when he finished singing.
‘That was naughty. Naughty, naughty, naughty,’ Liam said as he wagged his finger at the culprit before continuing on with the show.
However, according to one attendee, Noel ‘looked worried’ about the incident.
Liam later took to social media to slam the culprit yet again.
‘To the massive C*** who launched that flare into the crowd last night at the gig in Melbourne you are 1 seriously f***ed up individual. You will get yours, trust me,’ he vowed.
Other fans flocked to Reddit to call out the person who lit the flare and threw it in the middle of the crowd.
‘That is so f***ed up they could have burnt some poor girl’s face. Hope they get arrested and banned from gigs,’ one person wrote.
Oasis will perform in Melbourne again on Tuesday, with the Wonderwall fan favourites then set to head to New South Wales.
They will put on shows in Sydney at the Accor Stadium on Friday and Saturday next week, November 7 and 8, for the first time they toured the country since 2005.
The band has a huge following in Australia, with two of their albums reaching number one on the ARIA chart and their hit song Wonderwall hitting the top spot in 1996.
Last year, the band announced they were reuniting for the first time since 2009 after Noel and Liam finally put their differences aside following a long-standing feud.
