Oasis kicks off their highly anticipated reunion tour after 16 years

Oasis has officially launched their reunion tour at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, marking their first performance in 16 years. The tour, named Oasis Live ’25, has already set records, with nearly 900,000 tickets sold and fans from across the world traveling to Cardiff for the event. The excitement is palpable, with fans excited to hear classic tracks like ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol.’ Despite some controversy surrounding Ticketmaster’s pricing of ‘platinum’ tickets, which led to a CMA investigation, the tour has received an overwhelmingly positive response. The band, led by Noel and Liam Gallagher, has reunited with former members Gem Archer, Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, and Andy Bell, as well as drummer Joey Waronker. Speculation about the setlist includes fan-favorite tracks like ‘Live Forever’ and ‘Supersonic,’ and Noel Gallagher is expected to take lead vocals on a couple of songs. Oasis became one of the UK’s biggest bands in the ’90s, thanks to their anthemic sound, before splitting in 2009 due to sibling tensions. The band is now back together for a series of international shows, including 41 performances across the UK, Ireland, North America, Oceania, and South America. Despite a past of public feuds, their reunion signals a closure to the Oasis story, with no new music expected but a memorable, final tour in the works.
