Oasis reopened for business on 4 July with a sold-out concert at Cardiff’s 74,500-capacity Principality Stadium, their first performance since the band’s acrimonious 2009 break-up. The show launched the Live ’25 reunion tour and placed the once-feuding brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher back on the same stage after a 16-year absence. Backed by long-time members Gem Archer, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and Andy Bell, the group delivered a two-hour set heavy on 1990s staples such as “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and opener “Hello.” Midway through the 24-song performance, a rendition of “Live Forever” was accompanied by a stadium-wide tribute to Liverpool striker Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident a day earlier. Although the Gallagher siblings kept physical interaction to a minimum—sharing only a brief embrace at the close—the appearance marks a thaw in a dispute that had ruled out any reunion for more than a decade. Industry analysts said the night’s strong ticket-holder sing-along underscored the enduring commercial pull of Britpop’s best-selling act. The tour comprises 41 dates, including five nights at Manchester’s Heaton Park this month before moving on to London, Edinburgh and Dublin, then to North and South America, Asia and Australia through November. Promoters report demand far outstripping supply, with the UK competition regulator still examining complaints about dynamic pricing after some resale listings topped £4,000. While neither brother has announced new music, the global run is expected to generate one of the year’s largest box-office tallies, with industry forecasters citing a potential nine-figure gross if current sell-out levels hold across the itinerary.
