British music icons Oasis began their highly anticipated reunion tour in Cardiff, sparking an unexpected comeback nearly 16 years after their split. Frontman Liam Gallagher, hailing from Manchester, addressed a massive audience in Cardiff, diving straight into the nostalgic vibes of their performance. The band opened their set with the 1995 classic “Hello,” followed by hits like “Acquiesce,” “Roll With It,” and “Cigarettes and Alcohol.” The atmosphere was electric as Liam and his brother Noel shared the stage for a special duet, much to the delight of their fans.
The Oasis Live ’25 tour comprises 41 shows globally, starting with two nights in Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
