Oasis has returned to the stage, and the world is undeniably buzzing. The legendary band reunited for its first performance in 16 years, marking a pivotal moment for rock music enthusiasts. This reunion signifies the end of a long and tumultuous feud between legendary brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, who have not shared a stage since their infamous split in 2009.
The iconic English rockers kicked off their Oasis Live ’25 Tour in Cardiff, Wales, captivating fans on July 4. Photographs from this historic concert reveal the Gallagher brothers together once more, jamming to the band’s greatest hits. They started the highly anticipated show at 8:15 p.m. local time, delivering a performance that fans had eagerly awaited for nearly two decades.
Social media erupted with jubilation as fans celebrated this momentous occasion. One fan rightly declared, “This is history,” as images of the Gallagher brothers raising their hands together circulated online. Others echoed this sentiment, expressing disbelief and joy over a reunion that many thought was impossible.
The history between the Gallagher brothers is well documented, with their infamous fallout rooted in a backstage altercation at a Paris music festival back in 2009. Despite the contentious relationship, both brothers have continued to thrive musically, each forging successful paths after the band’s shocking breakup. Noel formed Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, while Liam spearheaded the band Beady Eye, before embarking on a successful solo career.
In a stunning announcement in August 2024, Oasis confirmed the reunion for a world tour, setting the stage for the band to celebrate their remarkable legacy. They emphasized that the time was right, aligning their reunion with the 30th anniversaries of their groundbreaking albums, “Definitely Maybe” and “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?”
Noel’s statement captured the essence of the moment perfectly: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over.” The excitement is palpable as they prepare for an extensive tour, with North America set to welcome them on August 24.
With an anticipated earning potential of at least $200 million from this reunion tour, thanks to partnerships with Live Nation and Adidas, the Gallagher brothers are not just reviving their bond; they are also commanding the music industry’s attention once again. Oasis is back, and they are ready to remind the world of their unparalleled mark on rock music.
