Liam and Noel Gallagher launch long-awaited Oasis world tour with explosive Cardiff comeback.
After a 16-year split that felt like forever for fans, Oasis have finally reunited, and they did it in epic fashion. On Thursday night, the Gallagher brothers stepped onto the stage at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and launched into a blistering, emotional, and deeply nostalgic set that stretched across their entire catalogue.
Tens of thousands of fans packed into the stadium to witness what many are calling a historic moment in British rock. It was the first of two nights in Cardiff and the official opening of their 41-date world tour.
“I’ve seen a lot of Oasis gigs and that was genuinely the best they’ve been since 1995,” said BBC music correspondent Mark Savage. “One for the history books.”
Fans from “Half The World Away”
It wasn’t just locals who turned up, music lovers flew in from around the world. Over 14 million people reportedly tried to buy tickets for just 1.5 million UK tickets, proof that this isn’t just a British event, it’s a global gig.

UAE tour dates?
With 40 more dates ahead, including multiple stops in London, Manchester, and international cities still under wraps, Oasis are firmly back in the headlines.
No word yet on Middle East tour dates, but fans across the UAE and MENA region are already hoping for a stop. Liam’s solo gigs in Dubai were huge draws but a full Oasis set would be another level entirely.
