Oasis Reunion Tour Launches in Cardiff: Highlights and Setlist Revealed

On July 4, 2025, the iconic British rock band Oasis commenced their highly anticipated reunion tour at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. This marked the first performance by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher together since their contentious breakup in 2009. The event drew thousands of fans eager to witness the duo perform a selection of their greatest hits, further fueled by years of speculation regarding a reunion.

The concert began with the opening track "Hello" from their seminal album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, setting the tone for a night filled with nostalgia. Fans were treated to classics such as "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova," which were strategically placed later in the setlist to heighten anticipation. The full setlist included a mix of fan favorites and deeper cuts, showcasing the band’s extensive discography, with songs spanning their career from the early 1990s to the late 2000s.

Rumors of an Oasis reunion have circulated since at least 2017, particularly after Noel Gallagher failed to attend a benefit concert where Liam was performing. Both Gallagher brothers have since pursued solo careers, with Liam releasing music under his own name and Noel fronting Noel Gallagher’s High-Flying Birds. In their official statement announcing the tour last year, the Gallaghers expressed, "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."

The first leg of the "Oasis Live '25" tour will extend through the end of August, featuring multiple shows in cities including Manchester, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin. Following this, the tour will continue into North and South America as well as Australia. Ticket pricing has become a point of contention, with European regulators scrutinizing the exorbitant costs attributed to Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model.

In addition to the tour, Oasis will be documenting the journey through a concert film produced by Steven Knight, the creator of the acclaimed series Peaky Blinders, and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace. The band has also announced a reissue of their landmark album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, set for release on October 3, 2025, in celebration of its 30th anniversary. This deluxe edition will include unplugged versions of several of their hits, such as "Cast No Shadow," "Wonderwall," and "Champagne Supernova."

As the reunion tour progresses, the cultural significance of Oasis and their contributions to the Britpop movement remains profound. The band's music continues to resonate with fans of all ages, making their return to the stage a significant event in contemporary music history. Fans and critics alike will be closely monitoring the tour's reception and the potential implications for future collaborations between the Gallagher brothers. With the excitement surrounding their reunion, Oasis stands poised to reclaim their status as one of the defining bands of their generation.
