Sixteen years have passed, but for more than 74,000 people gathered on the evening of July 4, 2025 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, time seemed to freeze. Oasis were back. And not as a soulless version of their former glory, but as a sonic, emotional and generational rebirth. Liam and Noel Gallagher, once irreconcilable, took the stage hand in hand and delivered a show that marked not only the start of their Live ’25 tour, but an act of collective redemption for millions of fans around the world.
๐ธ From “Hello” to “Champagne Supernova”: hymns in the flesh
The concert started as a declaration of intentions with “Hello”, and from there unleashed an unstoppable chain of classics. They played songs that defined the nineties such as “Supersonic”, “Roll With It”, “Morning Glory” or “Whatever”, until closing with an apotheosis version of “Champagne Supernova”, accompanied by fireworks and fraternal hugs that no one imagined just a few years ago.
“It’s good to be back,” Liam shouted before ripping into “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star,” prompting a standing ovation that lasted more than a minute.
During the show, unpublished images of the band were projected and a tribute was paid to the soccer player Diogo Jota, who passed away the day before. The gesture deeply touched the audience.

๐ฅ The most awaited tour… also on the big screen
The Live ’25 tour will tour the UK and Ireland through September, and will extend to America, Australia and Asia throughout 2025. Each concert will be filmed for a documentary directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, and produced by Steven Knight, creator of Peaky Blinders. A visual piece that stands as a testament to one of the most important comebacks in recent rock history.
๐ Oasis, between present and legacy
As part of the celebrations, the band will reissue on October 3 the album that changed the course of their history: (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? The deluxe edition features acoustic takes and rarities including versions of “Cast No Shadow”, “Wonderwall”, and the fan-favorite B-side “Acquiesce”.
Meanwhile, both Liam and Noel have put aside their public differences. In a terse but revealing joint statement released months ago, they wrote:
“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great comeback has arrived. It will not be televised. Come and see it.”
๐ฌ Oasis is Oasis again
What we saw in Cardiff was not just a concert. It was an act of collective redemption, a scar that became a tattoo for a generation that grew up with them, and for another that discovered them in the distance. Britpop, as criticized as glorious, found in this night its best argument: it was not fashion, it was revolution. And Oasis, its immortal spokesmen.
Who said there are no second chances in rock?
