From the moment the first chords thundered through the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, it was clear that Oasis Live '25 wasn’t just the start of a tour it was the restart of history. More than a decade and a half after their last performance together Oasis stepped back onto the stage with the kind of explosive energy that can only come from a band whose music never stopped resonating. And the fans were more than ready to soak it all up.
Every date of the UK and Irish tour sold out well in advance a testament to a fanbase that had waited patiently since 2009. Over this post we’ll be taking a closer look back at each venue on this unforgettable run of gigs.

Cardiff lit the fuse for what would become one of the most emotional and talked about tours of the decade. From there the band stormed into Manchester their hometown stronghold where generations of fans came from every corner of the globe came to sing, shout and listen to the songs that shaped their lives.
Next came London a city that welcomed the Gallagher's with deafening anticipation. Then Edinburgh where the stadium swelled with voices echoing into the night. And finally Dublin, where family, passion and nostalgia collided in the kind of atmosphere that only Irish crowds can create.

Night after night Liam Gallagher delivered his vocals with the same grit, swagger, and fire that cemented him decades before as one of the greatest frontmen in rock, while Noel Gallagher’s guitar work was sharp, melodic, unmistakably his and anchored every performance. Bonehead and Gem Archer’s guitars added layers of warmth and power. Andy Bell’s steady basslines grounded the sound and Joey Waronker provided thundering drums that brought new life to every classic in the set.
Across social media clips of the gigs flooded timelines emotional sing-alongs, euphoric crowds, and fans absolutely losing themselves in the moment. This tour wasn’t just a reunion it was a cultural event a reminder of why Oasis became one of the most influential bands of their generation.
By the time the final notes and fireworks faded in Dublin one truth rang louder than any amp. Oasis hadn’t simply returned they had reclaimed their throne as the greatest band in the world.
Principality Stadium
Cardiff

Cardiff got the first spark of the whole thing and you could feel the sense of anticipation hours before anyone even stepped on the stage.

If you were lucky enough to be in the sea of fans at the Principality Stadium, you felt something magical. It wasn’t simply a comeback it was a gathering of generations, a collective exhale, a moment of pure communion. Oasis strode onstage to 'F*ckin’ In The Bushes' and the roar was immediate as if time folded and they’d never really left.
The band kicked off with 'Hello' with Liam singing "It’s good to be back," and from that second on the nostalgia washed over you in glorious waves. The setlist was vintage Oasis 'Acquiesce,' 'Morning Glory,' 'Cigarettes & Alcohol,' and plenty more it felt like a greatest hits package. Noel’s guitar sounded so beautiful on 'Live Forever' you could almost hear the stadium singing his solo back at him. The back of Diego Jota’s Liverpool shirt was emblazoned on the screen during the song which got a huge roar of applause from the audience.
Liam always the comedian even joked about the ticket pricing: "Is it worth the £4,000 you paid for a ticket?"
But honestly for most of us it was worth every penny. At the end Liam waved and thanked fans "for waiting around and sticking with us," and then hugged Noel. That hug was more than symbolic it was closure, celebration and hope all rolled into one.

Cardiff didn’t just witness Oasis’ return it reminded us why we fell in love with them in the first place.

The band handed out t-shirts to fans on the hill turning a simple gesture into a memorable keepsake.

London

Wembley was the emotional epicentre of Oasis’ Live ’25 tour. Across seven nights more than half a million fans packed the stadium. Turning each night into a shared celebration of music, history and nostalgia. The energy was electric from the moment the lights went down.
On the first night during Live Forever the giant screens paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne who had recently passed away. The stadium erupted in a mix of cheers and awe a collective acknowledgement of his influence and legacy.
On September 27th the screens shifted to a touching tribute to Ricky Hatton the Mancunian boxing legend and long time friend of the Gallagher's. His photograph filled the screens as the stadium roared in recognition.It was a rare tender moment in a stadium usually dominated by noise and chaos and fans responded with warmth and applause.
Beyond the tributes the performances themselves were monumental. Liam prowled the stage joking with the crowd each night soaking in the roar from of the crowd, Noel also had fun with them. By the final night Wembley wasn’t just a venue it was a living memory a testament to Oasis’ ability to transform seven nights into something unforgettable.
Murrayfield Stadium

Oasis’ shows at Murrayfield were a commanding display of energy and presence capturing the attention of fans across the historic venue. From the opening moments the band projected confidence and connection, effortlessly drawing the audience into the performance. The atmosphere was electric charged with anticipation and excitement that ran from the front rows to the back of the stadium.
One of the highlights of the gigs was Liam's hilarious attack on Edinburgh Council "Do you know how much we’ll bring into this city over the next three days? One f**king billion pounds … but you’ll probably see f**k all of it because they’ll split it between their posh, ugly f**king mates."
He didn’t hold back and the fans in attendance loved it.
Despite the stadiums size the gigs never felt impersonal. Fans responded with unwavering enthusiasm creating a sense of collective exhilaration that carried through each night. Bythe final show it was clear that Oasis had made the Murrayfield gigs more than just concerts they were immersive, memorable experiences that united the audience and left a lasting impression on everyone lucky enough to attend.

Between songs Noel thanked the crowd with an almost shy warmth. “You’ve been absolutely lethal tonight,” he laughed while Liam grinned back soaking in the chaos. Then in a moment that made hearts melt Liam dedicated a song to his mother Peggy his voice cracking with pride and emotion. The stadium roared back a tidal wave of love and appreciation that seemed to lift the night even higher.
Every chorus sounded louder than the last. Fans online shared stories of tears, embraces and uncontainable joy. This wasn’t just a reunion it was a gift.
This tour for many wasn’t just about the hits. It was about the return of something elemental the sibling tension, the bucket-hat crowds, the unapologetic swagger. But underneath it all, there was love between the band, between the fans, between the past and now. Live ’25 felt like magic, and everyone lucky enough to be there knows they witnessed something unrepeatable.
