Oasis kicks off their eagerly anticipated reunion tour with a 'Supersonic' performance in Cardiff
In a momentous occasion, British rock band Oasis, known for their iconic Britpop anthems and sibling rivalry between Noel and Liam Gallagher, commenced their long-awaited reunion tour on July 4, 2025, at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff [1][2]. This historic event marked the first time the band had performed together since their split in 2009, igniting excitement among fans worldwide.
The reunion tour, dubbed 'Live '25,' opened with a two-hour set that drew heavily on Oasis's first album, "Definitely Maybe," and its 1995 follow-up, "(What's the Story) Morning Glory." The show was a testament to the band's enduring sound, as classic hits like "Supersonic," "Roll With It," and "Rock 'n' Roll Star" echoed through the stadium, sparking mass sing-alongs [2].
Fans, who had traveled from around the world, were ecstatic to witness the Gallagher brothers' on-stage reunion. Rob Maule, a 44-year-old fan from Edinburgh, Scotland, attended the concert with three childhood friends, finding the experience emotional. Vicki Moynehan, a fan from Dorchester in southwest England, stated that buying the ticket for the concert changed her life, and despite being seven months pregnant, she was determined not to miss the show [1].
The brothers' history of trading barbs onstage, in the studio, and in interviews was somewhat tempered during the reunion show. Despite the occasional tension, the band's sound was fueled by sing-along rock choruses and the combustible chemistry between Noel and Liam Gallagher [1][2]. The show ended with encores featuring some of Oasis's most enduring tracks: "Don't Look Back in Anger," "Wonderwall," and "Champagne Supernova."
No plans have been announced for Oasis to record any new music, and the tour is being presented as a one-off. However, the reunion has rekindled interest in Oasis’s music across generations, reinforcing their legacy in rock history. The tour will continue across the U.K. and Ireland, with stops in North America, South America, Asia, and Australia, ending in Sao Paulo on Nov. 23 [2].
Oasis was founded in the working-class streets of Manchester, England, in 1991, and quickly rose to become one of the dominant British acts of the 1990s, releasing eight U.K. No. 1 albums [1]. With their 2025 reunion tour, the band has given fans a chance to relive the magic of their iconic music live once more.
