Oasis Reunites in Cardiff: A Rock Resurrection 16 Years in the Making
So, here we are. After 16 long years , the unthinkable has finally happened—Oasis is back. Not just in rumor, not in a headline teasing hope, but really back —in flesh, in sound, and in full swagger. And where did it all begin? At the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, where 74,000 people witnessed the Gallagher brothers step onstage together for the first time since 2009.
It was biblical. You could feel it before a single chord was struck. The atmosphere was crackling, the crowd was practically vibrating with anticipation, and then—boom— “Hello” . A fitting opener if there ever was one. Liam strides up to the mic with that lion-in-waiting energy, snarls his greeting to the crowd, and it’s on. Noel’s guitar slices through the air, and just like that, we’re off, time rewound to the days when Oasis ruled the world.
Let’s be honest, no one expected this. After years of feuding, insults, and separate paths, most of us thought a reunion was wishful thinking. But tonight shattered all of that. It wasn’t just about nostalgia—it was about reclaiming the legacy, reviving the raw energy, and reigniting a bond that’s been dormant, not dead.

Sure, they didn’t exchange glances much—Noel kept his classic deadpan look while Liam did most of the crowd work. But who cares? The chemistry was in the music , in the harmonies of “Slide Away” , in the fire of “Morning Glory” , and in the near-spiritual explosion that was “Live Forever” . When they tore into “Rock’n’Roll Star” , you could see it in Liam’s face: he was feeling every word .
Noel even delivered “The Masterplan” solo during the encore, dedicating it to the fans who’ve kept them “shit hot for the last 20 years.” It was a quiet acknowledgment that while their relationship has always been rocky, the connection with their audience remains rock solid.
Support acts like Richard Ashcroft and Cast helped set the tone, but once Oasis hit the stage, it was all about them. The crowd? A blur of arms, chants, and disbelief. Some fans didn’t even have tickets—they just came to be near the moment. That's the gravity of this band.
Yes, there was controversy over ticket pricing. Yes, Noel looked like he’d rather be anywhere else at times. But none of that matters now. What matters is that we saw Oasis, together , playing the songs that defined a generation.
The reunion tour is officially underway. Cardiff was just the beginning. For those who’ve waited since that last gig in 2009, the message is clear: Oasis are back . And they're not just playing old hits—they're reminding us why those songs mattered in the first place.
As Liam screamed to the crowd, “It’s been too long.” He was right. Welcome back, lads. Let the world hear it again.
