Oasis arrive on stage at first reunion show in Cardiff

Almost a year since announcing the long-awaited Oasis reunion, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have played their first show together in 16 years.

The once-warring siblings kicked things off at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on Friday (4 July) before further dates around the UK, the United States, South Korea, Japan, Australia and South America.

Thousands of fans gathered at the Cardiff venue to watch the rock band, who broke up after a backstage fight in 2009. They tore through hits including “Morning Glory”, “Supersonic”, “Half the World Away” and “Stand by Me”.

At one stage, Liam Gallagher made a taunt about the ticket pricing scandal, which occurred when the tour was announced last August. “You’re having a good time, yeah?” he said, asking: “Is it worth the £40,000 you paid for the ticket?”

Reviews of the first night have been glowing, with five stars across the board including from The Independent’s critic Mark Beaumont, who called it the “rock reunion to end them all”.

Oasis are being supported in the UK by Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft, who declared it a “historic night”, and the Liverpool-formed band Cast.
