It’s official – Oasis are back, and their first gigs in 16 years have been met with acclaim from fans, without any drama from the once-feuding brothers.
Noel Gallagher, 58, and younger brother Liam Gallagher, 52, hadn’t performed together since their 2009 split, meaning the world was, quite literally, sent into a frenzy last August when they confirmed the guns had ‘fallen silent’.
After a lengthy wait, the siblings kicked off their string of sold-out reunion shows at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, with Noel Gallagher reduced to ‘tears’ by the iconic moment.
The brothers took to social media with a teaser of the stage, complete with an epic drone light show, ahead of that historic gig.
With an international tour following their sold-out UK run, we’re certain Oasis Live ’25 has got plenty to give.
So, what songs are on the setlist and what time do they hit the stage?
What’s on the Oasis 2025 setlist?
The brothers aptly open their first show in 16 years with Hello – the first song on their second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?
After that, it’s fan-favourite tune Acquiesce and then Morning Glory, with the first half also including tunes Cigarettes & Alcohol, Supersonic, Roll With It, and Half the World Away.

The latter part of the concert includes Rock and Roll Star, The Masterplan, Don’t Look Back in Anger, and, of course, Wonderwall.
Ending on a high, the brothers will close with Champagne Supernova, also the closing track on the band’s second studio album, having saved their most popular tunes til the end.
What time are Oasis on stage?
Oasis started their Cardiff show around 8:15pm.
Before their set, Richard Ashcroft of the Verve took to the stage at 7pm to warm up the crowd with bangers, including Bittersweet Symphony.
Well, bangers for most people – one woman was spotted Shazaming the iconic tune in the middle of the crowd.
Sticking to the rules and behaving (for now), the concert was wrapped up minutes before the 10:30pm curfew of the stadium.
Speaking just before the first show, a source hinted that Noel and Liam are still keeping some distance despite being on the road together.
‘It’s all gearing up now,’ they began. ‘Technical rehearsals for the band started on Monday, and then Noel and Liam joined them a couple of days later.
‘But Liam barely even stayed for the first eight songs before leaving the rehearsals early, and Noel continued on his own.’
Nevertheless, fans are absolutely beside themselves with excitement, as the responses to their X teaser video make clear.
The official Oasis account previously shared further details about the structure of the night for the first tour show.
Doors will open at 5pm before support acts Cast and Richard Ashcroft perform at 6pm and 7pm, respectively.
Oasis will take to the stage at 8:15pm with a 10:30pm curfew, promising over two hours of music.
The group will play 19 shows in the UK and Ireland this year before heading across Europe, with tickets sold to 900,000 fans.
Are the Gallagher brothers getting along?
However, to say it’s been smooth sailing getting here would be false.
At the end of May, it was claimed that Noel and Liam still hadn’t rehearsed together, with Liam also avoiding studio time with fellow performers Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell, and Mikey Rowe.
Instead, Liam, who is set to become a grandfather for the first time in a matter of months, has been chilling at his £4million mansion in the South of France with his girlfriend, Debbie Gwyther.
Oh, and he’s also been tweeting…
Just this week, the singer offended a large number of South Korean Oasis fans by tweeting the phrase ‘chingchong’.
‘Chingchong’ (believed to have originated in the 19th century) is understood as an offensive or derogatory phrase that’s used to mock or denigrate East Asian languages.
While usually intended to insult people who speak Chinese languages, it has also been applied towards languages and speakers from Japan and South Korea.
Liam deleted the post shortly after and responded nonchalantly with ‘Whatever’ when one user warned he might get cancelled.
It’s believed Oasis will generate a whopping £400million in ticket sales and add-ons, just from their initial dates.
As for their take-home pay, Noel and Liam are thought to be getting £50million each.
But for those gutted to have missed out on tickets, have no fear, because after a disastrous first sale, the group announced last week that more tickets could become available.
‘Oasis promoters may be able to release a very limited number of additional tickets for sale once final sight lines are checked and the production is fine tuned,’ a statement read.
‘These final production releases will happen over the coming days. If you are an Oasismynet member, keep an eye on your inbox for an email from your regular Oasismynet or Ticketmaster correspondence address.
‘Please double check the email is from the correct account before following links or sharing any purchase information.’
