Liam and Noel Gallagher took to the stage in front of close to 80,000 fans in Cardiff this evening. It was a moment even the most diehard of Oasis fans never thought they’d ever see again.
When the brothers sensationally split in 2009, at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris, it seemed definite. The back and forth on social media – and in interviews from both Liam and Noel – certainly seemed to confirm so.
Then, in August last year, a message was shared with fans. “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
It was after years of speculation as to whether they would ever get to see Liam and Noel on stage together again, with fans in Cardiff just hours from the first Live ‘25 show starting sharing the sentiment that it still didn’t feel possible.

But at 8.15pm, it was very much real. Walking out side-by-side with Liam’s arm around Noel’s shoulders, it was a demonstration of brotherly love and set the tone for what was going to be a momentous night for both fans and the band.
Starting off with Hello, as many fans may have predicted, the show was a tour-de-force of their biggest hits, B-sides and fan favourites.
They were joined by Bonehead, complete with his signature guitar, an Epiphone Riviera, who stood in the middle of the stage at the Principality Stadium.

Sharing the photo on Twitter, the Oasis account let the picture do the talking without a caption. But it was enough to get fans feeling nostalgic.
One person said: “Adore this pic – just makes me so happy for them.” Another said: “I want this framed on my living room wall.”
And asides from the fans in attendance, it felt like many outside of the stadium also felt emotional at the band getting back together.
“I’m actually in tears here,” one fan said. “Never thought I would ever see this. Thank You.”
Before they took to the stage, Oasis was supported by Cast and Richard Ashcroft, who paid tribute to Oasis by saying he was ‘so proud’ to be part of the special tour.
