Oasis began their long-awaited Live ‘25 reunion tour in Cardiff at the weekend – see what went down before the show in our photo gallery below.

Over 100,000 fans descended on the Welsh capital on Friday and Saturday nights to toast the return of Liam and Noel Gallagher.

In our five-star review of the opening show on Friday night, Rolling Stone UK said: “The band sound, to use Liam’s favourite phrase, absolutely biblical. Within half an hour, we’re through ‘Acquiesce’, ‘Morning Glory’, ‘Supersonic’ and ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’ at tremendous volume. Oasis’ arsenal of generation-defining hits is hardly a secret, but when confronted with them one after another like this, it’s truly overwhelming and doesn’t let up for over two hours.”

Before the gig, Cardiff city centre was awash with Oasis t-shirts and hats, with fans spending the entire day in the pubs and bars surrounding the Principality Stadium.

Get a glimpse of the action below with Rolling Stone UK’s beautiful photos of the chaos that unfolded.

Our review of the phenomenal comeback show added: “Compared to the build-up, the gig itself is largely drama-free. They play the hits superbly, backed by a band on top form, and look suitably nonplussed while doing it. The brothers take up their old roles — Liam is the rabble rouser, asking fans to do the Poznan dance of his beloved Manchester City during ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’; Noel is his composed sidekick – as if they never left.

“The symbolic arm-raising at the start of the gig is bookended by a truly enormous cheer when the brothers embrace slightly gingerly before leaving the stage. Largely though, they let the tunes do the talking, which feels fitting. Through all the scuffles and spats, the High Flying Birds and Beady Eyes, these generation-defining anthems are what have always remained, and will continue to do so long after Cardiff gets one of its best nights out in history.”
