Oasis sends fans into frenzy in comeback performance | news.com.au — Australia’s leading
The long-awaited Oasis reunion tour finally kicked off—and it’s safe to say fans got exactly what they came for: a loud, emotional, and unapologetically nostalgic celebration of one of Britpop’s most legendary bands.
From the moment Liam and Noel Gallagher stepped on stage, the crowd at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium exploded with excitement. It wasn’t just loud—it was earth-shaking. The band opened with “Hello,” a bold choice considering its controversial origins, but no one seemed to mind. This was pure, feel-good Oasis, and every fan was there to relive the magic.
Gone are the unpredictable days of the early 2000s when Oasis shows depended on Liam’s mood or sibling tensions. This time, everything feels polished and tightly controlled. Liam, surprisingly humble, even thanked the crowd: “Thanks for putting up with us—I know we’re hard work.” Noel stayed focused on the music, while rhythm guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs acted as a buffer between the famously feuding brothers on stage.
This show is all about the hits. It skips most of Oasis’s less-loved later albums and dives straight into the golden years. Think: Cigarettes & Alcohol, Rock ’n’ Roll Star, Slide Away, Morning Glory, and the beloved B-sides like Acquiesce and The Masterplan. Even Half the World Away, with Noel on vocals, had fans singing so loudly it nearly drowned him out.
Sure, D’You Know What I Mean? felt like a bit of a slog, reminding us of the band’s creative dip in the late ’90s. But the setlist mostly played it smart—sticking to songs that still hold up incredibly well today.
The night ended just how fans hoped it would: Don’t Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, and Champagne Supernova—the holy trinity of Oasis encores. And with that, Liam made a quick, quiet exit. No drama, just a job well done.
Final Verdict:
This Oasis reunion is a shameless nostalgia trip—and that’s exactly why it works. It’s a powerful reminder of how thrilling their music was (and still is), even if it glosses over the bumpier parts of their career. For fans, especially those too young to see them the first time around, it’s the ultimate Britpop dream come true.
