An AI influencer has got Oasis fans wound up by appearing to ‘nick’ tickets to an Oasis comeback gig – but they don’t realise she’s not real
It’s the moment Oasis fans have waited decades for — but while real people struggled to get tickets, a pink-haired AI influencer seemingly strutted straight into Wembley Stadium. Social media users have reacted after pink-haired AI Influencer, Aitana Lopez, from Barcelona, took to Instagram and shared a series of photos of her “experience” at Oasis’ Wembley gig last weekend, which has since been shared across Oasis fan pages sparking outrage.
Droves of Oasis fans have become convinced influencers such as Aitana are part of the reason tickets to the reunion gigs got so expensive and were in such short supply, with many raging they probably got them handed to them for free to promote the shows online.
Lopez has over 350k followers on Instagram and thousands more on subscription platform, Fanvue, where she engages with her fans using AI-powered tools – earning more than £15k per month.
Her appearance at such a massive cultural moment in the British summer calendar follows the viral story of Mia Zelu, the AI Influencer who showed up at Wimbledon and sparked a social media storm.
Aitana’s Oasis posts have since racked up thousands of likes and comments.
One person commented: “Giiirl!! This is insane!! You’re killing it!”
Another added: “Will you go to a Coldplay concert with me.” Aitana’s attendance to the gig has since been shared on Oasis fan pages, including the @gallagherfanpage, sending diehard fans into meltdown who had to pay extortionate ticket prices or miss out on going all together.
One frustrated commenter summed it up: “So this is where our tickets went.” Another chimed in with: “I couldn’t get tickets. But AI did. #becomingsarahconnor.”
Another commented: “ What the f*** is an AI influencer? Couldn’t give a s***! I’ve been and it was f****** biblical. Gonna go again as well.” Others expressed their overall frustration of ‘influencers’ real or not attending ‘special moments’ like Oasis.
One said: “Can we ban all ‘influencers’ from these special moments in time. Cringe.” Another commented: “’AI influencers’… as if normal influencers aren’t cringeworthy enough.”
Someone else said: “Are we really promoting fake imaginary influences that probably give money to some 17-year-old nerd somewhere or even worse, a boomer?!?! With all the amazing, love real people that actually spent a fortune to be there!?!?! Really?”
But AI Influencers are showing up more and more in culture, according to Head of AI at Fanvue, Narcis Marincat, who commented: “AI Influencers are building massive followings on Instagram and their content is designed to connect with fans over their passions, hobbies, and experiences.
“Tapping into culture, bringing fans closer to events that they might not be able to attend themselves, is all adding to normalising AI Influencers.”
AI Influencers didn’t exist the last time the Gallagher brothers were together, but the access and tools to build virtual personas has grown at such an unprecedented rate in the past 12 months that it’s estimated there are now over 2million AI Influencers, globally, across social platforms.”
And Aitana has a whole entourage behind her, developing storylines, creating content, and managing posting schedules. Her team at TheClueless.ai, which is six-strong and 75% female, are the engine room behind her success.
Its co-founder Diana Nunez said: “Just like a real influencer, Aitana’s success has been built on connecting with fans over her passions and adventures, posting consistent content – over time this builds authenticity. Music, fitness, and gaming are her hobbies and we didn’t want her to miss the reunion of the biggest band in the world.”
Aitana has worked with global brands, including Llongueras in Spain, even appearing on an advert in Times Square. A Fanvue spokesperson added: “She’ was the first to lead the normalisation of AI Influencers in culture, and with other names now emerging it’s such an exciting time for AI Influencers, and their earnings potential through brand deals and AI monetisation on Fanvue.”
