After 16 years, Oasis is finally back!

Noel and Liam Gallagher took to the stage at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on Friday (July 4) in what was their first gig together in 16 years.

The performance was the first show in their long-awaited reunion tour (Live '25) - which will also see them perform in locations including London, Manchester and Edinburgh.


A brief history of Oasis


The brothers, who had not performed together since their dramatic split in 2009, blasted through their setlist, kicking off with Hello, from their second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?

During the gig, Liam apologised to fans for how long it had taken for them to reunite.

He spoke to the audience several times throughout the set, saying: “Hello people, it’s been too long,” before launching into Oasis' third song of the night - What’s the Story.

Both brothers made joking references to the dynamic pricing scandal during Friday's show.

Fans were left outraged when trying to buy tickets for the Oasis tour in the UK and Ireland, with some standard tickets appearing to jump from £148 to £355.

The controversy prompted the Government and the UK’s competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing.

The brothers also paid tribute to Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident on Thursday (July 3).

During the final bars of Live Forever, a picture of Jota was displayed, with the crowd cheering and applauding the gesture.

As they broke into fan-favourite Champagne Supernova, their final song of the evening, Liam said: “Right you beautiful people, this is it.

“Nice one for putting up with us over the years, we know we’ve been difficult.

“Champagne Supernova, nice one.”

While the brothers shared no banter on stage throughout the gig, they very briefly high-fived and half-hugged each other’s shoulders after their closing track.

Oasis was supported by fellow 90s group Cast and former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft.

Mr Weekes said: “We’ve been planning it forever. We always said that if they got back together, we’d be at that first show.”

While Mr Helm added: “We’ve been lifelong fans – we’re 22 and 21, so haven’t really had a chance to see them before.

“We always said it was worth it to come, we wouldn’t miss it for the world. To take time off work to come over here, it’s more than worth it.”
