After dates in the UK, Ireland, North America, Mexico, South Korea and Japan Oasis finally landed in South America. Two colossal nights at Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires, a special night at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago and a final explosive double header at São Paulo's Estadio MorumBIS.
The tour was unveiled with messages tailored for each country. To Argentina they declared "People of the great nation of Argentina. Oasis are coming home to The River Plate. Be there".
And to Chile "People of Chile get ready, the brothers are coming."
To Brazil "People of Brazil. Carnival has come early. Fix up. Look sharp. Oasis will see you soon".
From the moment the dates were announced it was obvious these shows would be something special.
Ending the tour in South America where the band have always been greeted by some of the loudest and most passionate fans in the world instantly made tickets the hardest and most in demand to secure on the entire tour outside the UK & Ireland. Oasis have loved playing on the continent ever since their first visit during the 'Be Here Now' tour in 1998 and fans know the band traditionally save their most explosive performances for South America. And with Brazil being the country where Noel Gallagher has famously said he has "never played a bad gig" anticipation surrounding the final leg was immense.
Across the continent local media went into overdrive. Radio stations in Argentina, Chile and Brazil began spinning Oasis tracks around the clock counting down the days until tickets went on sale and in the weeks and months leading up to the gigs. Newspapers across South America ran front page features on the reunion while evening television news bulletins included segments on the upcoming concerts and fan reactions and the scale of demand. It felt as though all of South America was preparing together for something monumental an ending worthy of the biggest tour of the year.
Andy Bell reflected on the regions history with the band when he spoke to me in 2020. Asked which show he'd love to see released officially he didn't hesitate "River Plate Stadium on the last tour was off the scale… if you're asking about a gig where we tore the roof off, that was it. I know stadiums don't have roofs but you know what I mean. It was just a moment between us and our audience."
Santiago held its own place in Oasis history as well. As Noel wrote in his 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' blog in 2009 "Great show last night. They just keep getting better and better." The Chilean stop in 2025 sold out almost instantly demonstrating just how deep the bands connection to the country still runs.
And of course Brazil was already legendary territory for Oasis. Back in 2009 Noel wrote "Amazing crowd… I suppose one should expect nothing less from Brazilians, but still – 'well done'".
The two final nights at the MorumBIS sold out bringing the tour to a close in the country where the band has never failed to deliver and never played a bad gig at least according to Noel himself.
Over this post we'll be taking a closer look back at each venue on this unforgettable South American run a leg that felt less like a tour and more like a continent wide celebration roaring from Buenos Aires to Santiago to São Paulo with Bonehead back in the fold and the fans louder than ever.
Buenos Aires
Estadio River Plate
Argentina
Buenos Aires didn't just welcome Oasis back it erupted. With around 170,000 fans flooding River Plate across two detonating nights the whole district felt like it was physically shaking from dawn. Streets choked with merch stalls official and unofficial. Flags, shirts, scarves, retro jackets, bootlegs and more. Record shops became Oasis shrines. Everywhere you looked was a wave of obsession in motion. People turned the walk to the stadium into a victory parade before a note had even been played.
The gigs had it all Maradona tributes fans chanting from the terraces and the kind of football stadium energy only Buenos Aires can summon. Once again the city proved why it's Oasis' spiritual home outside of Manchester.
Inside it was pure combustion. A restless riotous mass of bodies packed so tightly the ground felt like it was breathing. On the first night as the band walked out Liam greeted the crowd with "Oasis vibes in the area, Buenos Aires vibes in the area". During the early set Liam clocked the energy coming from the crowd calling them "number one" before pausing and adding "even without the f*cking alcohol" a nod to the venues ban that only seemed to make the crowd louder.
Then came the moment no one expected Liam letting Noel introduce 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' The place went into absolute fever pitch chants of "Ole, ole, ole" ricocheting around the stadium before Noel had even said a word. He told the crowd to do the Poznań and to "shake the f*cking building down." And they tried tens of thousands turning their backs bouncing in unison blasting the stadium into what many described as the best Poznan of the whole tour. Liam told the crowd after the song it was "biblical... absolutely f*cking biblical".
Oasis paid tribute to Diego Maradona during the gig projecting his image during 'Live Forever' and dedicating 'Rock 'N' Roll Star' to him. The reaction was huge the stadium erupted in cheers and thousands of fans recorded the moment on their phones it was described as one of the most emotional highlights of a show that felt like a generational reunion.
On the second night Liam was back on story duty introducing 'Nolo The Horse' to the same volcanic reaction. Across both nights whenever the band dropped into silence the fans just filled it with chants and noise.
When the lights finally dropped each night and the band walked on the roar wasn't just loud it sounded like the entire city was screaming at once. Within minutes of the band being onstage videos ripped across social media. Pits rupturing like shockwaves lines of people tumbling and rising again with joy.
It looked like a war zone with the greatest soundtrack imaginable. Liam bowed deeply. Noel scanned the stadium like he was imprinting it onto his memory.
By the final moments people weren't just emotional they were transformed. No one wanted to leave. Strangers hugged. Voices broke. The stadium lights came up but the crowd didn't care. Buenos Aires didn't just take the crown of the South American leg it set a standard for what a reunion show should feel like. History was made twice and everyone inside the venue knew it.
Estadio Nacional
Santiago
Chile
If Buenos Aires was fire, Santiago was lightning sudden, loud and alive coursing through the entire Estadio Nacional. Around 64,000 fans packed inside but what hit you wasn't the size it was the sheer energy.
Outside the stadium hours before the show crowds were already bouncing, chanting and singing the bands songs. Every corner in and around the venue felt like a spark waiting for ignition.
Outside the stadium hours before the show crowds were already bouncing, chanting and singing the bands songs. Every corner in and around the venue felt like a spark waiting for ignition.
Inside the spark became a blaze. The second the lights dropped the place detonated with a roar that bounced around the stadium like it was looking for somewhere bigger to escape to. And before a single chord rang out the band walked onstage and Liam walked up to the mic and said "Oasis vibes in the area... Santiago vibes in the area". What followed was an instant eruption. The crowd was already bouncing and chanting when 'Hello' kicked in then straight into 'Acquiesce' both songs were met with a tidal wave of voices. It felt like 60,000 people singing and clapping in perfect unison one night, one chance and they came ready to give everything.
This wasn't a quiet devotional crowd Santiago was burning with life. People weren't just singing they were erupting, springing upward in waves, arms flung around friends strangers shouting lyrics directly into each other's faces. There was a pulse moving through the stands a kind of organised chaos that felt passionate and beautifully unrestrained.
And Liam of course couldn't resist a bit of story time. Just before 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' he introduced Uma The Puma and egged the crowd on to do the Poznań. What followed was another South American spectacle thousands of people bouncing in locked arms the stadium floor practically shaking beneath them.
'Stand By Me' turned into another massive moment. Noel has claimed on numerous occasions he is not a fan of 'Be Here Now' the people of Santiago welcomed it like an old friend the same way they did 'D'You Know What I Mean?'. These songs were built for stadiums and in Santiago and across other cities over the past few months they finally got a time to shine after being forgotten about for years.
The band fed on every second of it. Liam prowled the stage with a grin like he'd found a crowd that matched his edge. Noel kept glancing upward, almost surprised by the sheer force coming back at him. Every song felt bigger than the last. People were crying and screaming at the same time like their hearts were being pulled in two directions at once.
And then came the encore the moment that cemented Santiago as one of the defining nights of the tour. The band eased off, the crowd surged forward vocally and suddenly the entire Nacional was singing word for word with a volume and unity that felt supernatural. Not neat. Not polite. Loud. Proud. Alive. A single gigantic voice roaring into the night. If you were there I imagine you could feel your chest vibrate. You could feel the person beside you shaking. You could feel the ground tremble beneath your feet.
When it was over no one moved. People clung to each other faces wet, voices gone refusing to break the connection. Santiago didn't just sing it lived every moment wildly, loudly and unforgettably.
Estadio MorumBIS
São Paulo
Brazil
São Paulo
Brazil
São Paulo turned the last two nights of the South American leg and Oasis Live 25 into a full blown carnival. Around 132,000 fans flowed into MorumBIS across both shows but the celebration started long before that. Record shops were stacked with official releases and numerous bootlegs from the tour. Street vendors were everywhere selling shirts so freshly printed the ink still smelled. The streets around MorumBIS became a river of colour, music and anticipation making the two nights feel like an Oasis Festival.
But the first night brought a moment that cut through the party atmosphere with something deeper. Before one of the nights biggest anthems 'Live Forever' Liam dedicated it to their dear friend and hero Mani as a huge image of him lit the screens. The stadium fell into a hush so heavy it didn’t feel like silence it felt like collective breath. Thousands raised phones thousands more just stared holding onto friends and loved ones as the band turned to face Mani's image. Bonehead wearing a Brazil shirt with Mani’s name across the back tied the whole tribute together in a moment filled with genuine love.
From there São Paulo surged. The front sections were carnage beer flying energy spilling over like a dam had broken. Night two was louder and tighter the city refusing to let the tour end on anything less than a bang.
Liam's farewell address to the audience on the bands forty first date of Oasis Live '25 tour was "Right then, beautiful people. This is it. This it it. I wanna thank a few people man so give us a minute. I obviously wanna thanks our kid, Bonehead, Andy, Gem, Joey, Cristian. I wanna thank the management, I wanna thank all the crew, I wanna thank the promoters, I wanna thank all the other people. But most of all, I wanna thank f*cking you lot man for putting this band back on the map. We love you. Thanks for all your energy. Take care of yourselves and we'll see you again sometime. 'Champagne Supernova'".
Fireworks cracked over MorumBIS as the band took their final bows and even as the lights came up the chants kept going echoing down the streets long after the crowd emptied out into the warm night.
If Buenos Aires was fire and Santiago was soul São Paulo was closure, emotional, messy, loud and full of love. From the carnival like streets filled with fans in Brazil themed shirts and merch stalls to the stadium where Liam and the band paid tribute to their dear friend Mani. The city poured every ounce of energy and devotion into the final nights. Exactly the way the South American chapter and Oasis Live '25 deserved to end.
South America didn't just host Oasis. It became part of the bands story all over again.
Oasis Live '25: A Reunion Of Love, Passion And Pure Magic...
It has been hard to write about these gigs as I've watched most of them either via streams or afterwards in full on YouTube and BELIEVE ME I've watched them all. But the one thing that every single fan who I have spoken to who has attended any of these gigs has in common is the stories of love, devotion, raw passion and sheer excitement to watch the band that they love and have been deeply missed.
Honestly I don't have one bad word to say about this reunion gigs. After the disappointment of my last Oasis gig back in 2009 at the iTunes Festival. That was a horrid way to end a journey that started for me in North Wales in August 1994. It's been amazing these last few months to feel that magic of watching Oasis live again.
From 2009 and the years that followed I never thought we would see Liam and Noel in the same room again let alone sharing the stage and delivering a tour that will go down in the history books.
I went to both nights in Cardiff with my children who I imagine like other Oasis fans around my age that have children have grown up with me playing them in the house, in the car and singing them Oasis songs when they were younger. My favourite moment of seeing them live this time around was on the first night hearing my children get so excited for 'Half The World Away' as it was my Mothers favourite Oasis song.

I've been lucky enough to see the band play at all stages throughout there career and every drummer from little venues then onto arenas and eventually stadiums. Their rise was the musical equivalent of your team battling up from the lower leagues to winning the Champions League. I've went to Maine Road, Knebworth, Earls Court, Finsbury Park and Wembley… and yet as I've said before the first night at Maine Road will always be the pinnacle not just seeing Oasis but of any concert EVER full stop. But let me make one thing clear those two nights in Cardiff are up there with the very best.
Starting with Cardiff and then following the reunion gigs in full online it's been an absolute joy. I thought it was amazing that Oasis started the tour in Wales and to end the gigs with 'Champagne Supernova' was so fitting it's been my favourite Oasis song since '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' was released. Every song in the setlist has a special place not just in my Oasis collection but those songs I can pin point to certain points in my life.
What has been absolutely incredible has been seeing people's own stories about the band people crying with happiness and the young or new fans buzzing with excitement to be seeing them for the first time and countless other moments I could fill hundreds of posts with. The one thing I can say about this year is that it's been emotional and I truly hope this lap of honour isn't complete yet.
