Oasis Reunion Ignites Cardiff in a Storm of Nostalgia and Anticipation
It’s finally happening—Oasis are back. The unthinkable has become reality as Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite for the first time in 16 years, launching their monumental 41-date tour in Cardiff. Today, the Welsh capital isn’t just buzzing—it’s electrified. The Principality Stadium is thundering with soundchecks, Oasis anthems echoing through the city like distant memories made real again. For die-hard fans and curious newcomers alike, it feels like the return of royalty.
You can almost taste the Britpop revival in the air. Black and white bucket hats, Oasis logos, and parkas dominate the streets. From cafes playing "Don't Look Back in Anger" on repeat to fans queueing for exclusive merch for hours, the city has transformed into a shrine for one of Britain’s most legendary bands.
Even artist Nathan Wyburn joined the celebration with a jaw-dropping 16-foot mural made from 3,000 bucket hats—because nothing about this reunion is subtle. People have flown in from around the world—like Po Chang and Yi Chieh from Taiwan—just to witness this historic night. "It's worth every mile," said Chang, a musician deeply influenced by the band. Their enthusiasm captures what this moment means to so many: a chance to reconnect with a defining part of their youth.

Of course, the ghosts of Oasis past still linger. This is the first time the Gallaghers have stood on stage together since their infamous 2009 backstage fallout. Many feared it would never happen, including longtime collaborator Brian Cannon, who once said he'd run naked down Deansgate before believing in an Oasis reunion. Yet, here we are.
The impact of this comeback is massive. Every single date on the tour—UK, US, Brazil, Japan—is sold out. Cardiff alone expects nearly 150,000 concert-goers over two nights. Local hotels have doubled rates, pubs have stocked up on plastic cups, and the city is bracing for scenes that may even rival a Six Nations rugby weekend. It’s not just music—it’s an economic and cultural phenomenon, with the brothers poised to earn £50 million each, more than during their Britpop peak in the ‘90s.
For younger fans like 18-year-old Elinor Maizey, who wasn’t even alive during Oasis's heyday, it’s a piece of history unfolding. “I’m more of a Blur fan,” she laughs, “but you can’t deny how iconic Oasis are.”
As BBC cameras roll and the world watches, Cardiff becomes the stage not just for a concert, but for a momentous comeback years in the making. The crowd is ready, the stage is set, and the air is thick with the hope that maybe—just maybe—the Gallagher brothers can hold it together long enough to give us what we’ve all been waiting for.
Stop crying your heart out. Oasis is back.
