After nearly 16 years of separation marked by public disputes and social media spats, Oasis has triumphantly returned to the stage. The iconic band, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, has successfully reconciled their long-standing differences. They announced their highly anticipated reunion last year in celebration of the 30th anniversary of their landmark album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?. This reunion has sparked immense excitement among fans and the music industry alike, signaling a new chapter in their storied legacy.

The inaugural performance of their Live ’25 tour took place at the renowned Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on Friday, July 4. This concert marked their first live show since their unexpected farewell at the V Festival in England on August 22, 2009. The following day, the band canceled their performance, and shortly thereafter, on August 28, Noel Gallagher announced his departure from the group during a press conference before their show at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris.

After the split, the remaining members formed the band Beady Eye and dabbled in solo projects, with Liam Gallagher eventually following Noel into a solo career. This latest reunion, however, has fans buzzing with excitement and nostalgia for the original sound that defined a generation.

Setlist Highlights from Oasis’s Unforgettable Reunion Concert

The reunion concert not only showcased the talents of Liam and Noel Gallagher but also featured an impressive lineup of musicians. Guitarists Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and Gem Archer, bassist Andy Bell, and drummer Joey Waronker joined the iconic duo on stage. In the days leading up to the show, it was announced that the core band would be enriched by Christian Madden on keyboards, Jess Greenfield providing backing vocals, Alastair Whire on trombone, Steve Hamilton playing saxophone, and Joe Auckland on trumpet, creating a robust and vibrant sound.

The crowd erupted as the band made their entrance, greeted by the familiar intro of their song “Fuckin’ in the Bushes.” In a powerful moment, Noel and Liam raised their hands to the sky, and the backdrop proclaimed, “This is happening,” igniting the energy of the audience. They opened with “Hello,” the first track from their celebrated album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, which had not been performed live since 2002. Following that, the audience was treated to “Acquiesce,” a beloved b-side that returned to the setlist for the first time since 2006.

The concert continued to delight fans as the band revisited deeper cuts from their extensive catalog. Songs like “Some Might Say” (last performed in 2002), “Bring It On Down” (first time since 2006), and “Talk Tonight” (last played in 2005) made thrilling returns to their setlist. Other highlights included “Little By Little“, “D’You Know What I Mean“, “Stand By Me“, and “Cast No Shadow“, each making long-awaited comebacks after years of absence from the live stage.

A poignant moment of the evening came when the band paid tribute to Diogo Jota, a young soccer star for Liverpool Football Club, who tragically lost his life in a car accident along with his brother just days before the concert. During their performance of “Live Forever“, the band displayed Jota’s jersey, honoring his memory and resonating deeply with fans.

After a brief intermission, the band returned for an encore filled with fan favorites, including “The Masterplan“, “Don’t Look Back in Anger“, “Wonderwall“, and “Champagne Supernova“, leaving the audience in a state of euphoria.
