Oasis made their explosive return in Cardiff on Friday night, launching their long-awaited reunion tour after 16 years of silence and sibling rivalry. Liam and Noel Gallagher stood on the same stage once again, delivering a powerhouse performance to a sold-out crowd of 70,000 fans.
They opened with Hello—a fitting nod to their comeback—before launching into a hit-filled setlist of 90s anthems like Wonderwall, Live Forever, and Don’t Look Back In Anger. While the brothers barely acknowledged each other during the show, their long-standing tension only added to the electric energy that defines an Oasis concert.
Liam commanded the stage with his signature swagger and sneer, his voice sounding stronger than it has in years despite previous vocal challenges. The crowd, made up of fans from across the globe, sang every word back as pints flew through the air. Some paid upwards of £350 for tickets, but few seemed to mind.
In a rare soft moment, Liam joked, “Is it worth the £4,000 you paid?”—a nod to both the hype and the absurdity of the wait. A brief hug between the brothers closed the night, offering a fleeting glimpse of reconciliation, though their turbulent past still cast a shadow.
Emotional, loud, and unapologetically nostalgic, the show proved that Oasis hasn’t lost its fire. Sixteen years later, their return was more than just a concert — it was a cultural moment that reminded fans why they fell in love with the band in the first place.
