Oasis Reunion Gigs at Croke Park: A Nostalgic Weekend
This weekend, music fans in Dublin are eagerly anticipating the Oasis reunion gigs at Croke Park, marking the band's first live Irish performance together in over 15 years. The shows, on August 16 and 17, have generated a wave of excitement, selling out quickly and attracting around 80,000 attendees per night.
The concerts are part of the highly anticipated Oasis Live '25 Tour and carry significant emotional weight, as Liam and Noel Gallagher will appear united on stage, a symbolic reconciliation after their infamous 2009 split. The reunion also celebrates the band's deep-rooted Irish connection, with their mother being Irish and the band openly celebrating this heritage.
The gigs are expected to be a defining moment in both the band’s history and Irish music culture. Classic hits like "Wonderwall," "Don’t Look Back in Anger," and "Live Forever" will fill the air, complemented by support acts Richard Ashcroft and Cast. Fans are in for a treat, with the concerts promising to evoke a sense of nostalgia and fan excitement.
Meanwhile, on Monday's Today show on RTE Radio 1, guests Damien O'Mara of RTE Sport, Nadine O'Regan from The Irish Times, and meteorologist Cathal Nolan shared their Oasis fandom ahead of the upcoming reunion gigs. During the discussion, Damien O'Mara shared stories of the old Point Depot, possibly referring to a previous Oasis concert.
In a separate event, Cathal Nolan, who is also a meteorologist, reminisced about his time in an Oasis tribute band. However, it's important to note that this tribute band performance is not related to the upcoming Oasis reunion gigs at Croke Park. In fact, the details of Cathal Nolan's tribute band, such as the band's name or the number of members, are not provided.
One interesting anecdote from the tribute band performance is that one audience member somersaulted due to ecstasy and needed medical attention. Despite this, the tribute band performance is not mentioned in the context of the guests discussing their Oasis fandom on Monday's Today show.
As the weekend approaches, fans are gearing up for a pilgrimage-like experience, with some queuing for hours to secure tickets and many attending their first-ever Oasis concert. The concerts are more than just gigs—they are historic reunions steeped in emotional significance, Irish pride, and decades of fandom, celebrated passionately by both the band and their audience.
