    Oasis made their triumphant return to the stage after 16 years away on Friday (04.07.25) night

    The Manchester-based rock band - who enjoyed immense success in the 1990s with hits such as Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger - stopped performing together in 2009 after brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher became estranged from one another, but the siblings joined forces once again as they launched their epic comeback at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff


    As the brothers joined Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker on stage, Liam thanked their "beautiful fans" for the dedication they have shown over the years.

    Just as they were coming to the end of their set, he told the crowds: "There are many things I would like to say to you, but I don't speak Welsh. Right then, beautiful people, this is it.

    "Nice one for putting up with us over the years."

    Two hours earlier, the rock band arrived on stage with the brothers standing on either side of Bonehead, and they opened their set with Hello, before going on to perform hits such as Acquiesce, Morning Glory, and Some Might Say.

    Following their much-anticipated arrival, Liam shouted to the crowd of 75,000 fans: "Hello people, it's been too long, it's good to be back. Yes beautiful people."

    The band were just rounding out the mellow segment - which was made up of classics such as Stand By Me, and Cast No Shadow, Liam joked with the crowds about the ticket prices.

    He said: "You're all having a good time yeah? Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?"

    Things took a more sombre turn when an image of tragic footballer Diogo Jota flashed up, just one day after the Liverpool star was killed in a car crash at the age of 28.

    Following a rendition of Rock 'N' Roll Star, Noel made a point of addressing their younger fans and dedicated The Masterplan to all of those who were not around when they were in their heyday.

    He said: "This is for all the people in their 20s who've never seen us before!"

    Leaving some of their biggest hits til last, the legendary rock band closed out their set with Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, all of which appeared on the second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? when it was released in 1995.

    The Oasis Live '25 Tour started in the UK in Cardiff on July 4 and will head to North America, South Korea, Japan, Australia and South America, where it will conclude in Sao Paulo, Brazil on November 25.
