Cardiff, Wales – 4 July 2025

"Thousands of Oasis fans, as you can see, are gathering here in Cardiff where, very soon, in a couple of hours time, the band will take to the stage for its first performance in 16 years."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Jill Lawless, Associated Press:
"To say that this has been a much anticipated comeback is a bit of an understatement. When Oasis announced in August of last year that they were getting back together for a UK, Ireland and then world tour, tickets sold out within hours and there were many, many stories of people waiting in queues up to a million people long, and of having to pay inflated prices at the last minute just for the chance to catch one of these shows.

"The people here tonight are among the most keen fans. This is the first of what are projected to be 41 gigs here tonight at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff."
9. Various of crowds
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Jill Lawless, Associated Press:
"A lot of the people here are perhaps in their 40s and 50s, and they talk about being Oasis fans since they were teenagers and what the band meant to them back in the 90s. And then there are also a lot of younger fans who maybe their parents grew up with Oasis and they, as a result, have learned to love the music too. There are singalongs already in the street to Oasis hits like Champagne Supernova and Half a World Away. There’s a lot of quite good-natured beer drinking going on. The merch is flying off the shelves and it’s just a very, very excited atmosphere."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Jill Lawless, Associated Press:
"One of the things that made Oasis so special was the volatile chemistry between Noel Gallagher, the songwriter and guitarist, and his brother Liam, the band’s singer. That was the reason the band split up in 2009. Noel walked out after a particularly intense backstage bust up. So one thing fans here are waiting to see is whether they can hold it together, whether they have repaired the relationship, whether the tensions are spilled out onto the stage. That just adds a little bit to the air of excitement around this whole tour."

STORYLINE:
Oasis is due to take to the stage in Cardiff, Wales on Friday, kicking off a hotly, and somewhat anxiously, anticipated reunion tour.

The return of the Britpop-era rockers after a 16-year hiatus is a major moment for fans. Will it be a storming success? Definitely maybe.

Predictions are tricky when it comes to Noel and Liam Gallagher, the sparring siblings who give Oasis its charisma, and its volatile chemistry.

Unless the brothers’ combustible relationship derails proceedings, two nights at Cardiff’s 70,000-capacity Principality Stadium on Friday and Saturday raise the curtain on a 19-date Live ’25 tour in the U.K. and Ireland.
