Just a thought: isn’t our very own ‘MadMax’ attending, tonight? If so, it’s mid-afternoon, here in the U.K. and definitely maybe about time the beer was flowing! ><

Let the beer and music flow

Yeppers "today is gonna be the day"

This boomer would go also... not sure why Vancouver or Seattle was not on the agenda

"yeppers" hell yeah the boomers are having their day.

Oasis review – a shameless trip back to the 90s for Britpop’s loudest, greatest songs



Principality Stadium, Cardiff

This is playlist Oasis, with their later fallow years ignored almost completely – and that makes for a ferociously powerful set to an utterly adoring crowd

Well that was pretty epic!!
Managed to find 2 streamers who covered the whole gig and watched along..

Very good performance by all accounts but no discernible interaction between the brothers on stage. They seem to be keeping it strictly professional.

There never was much interaction between them back in the days. The odd bit of aggro maybe!

Well as long as they're giving a good performance I suppose that's what matters. Maybe they see eye to eye on that.

The setlist is great. Looking forward to the videos.

My friends at the Cardiff show said they touched once during Champagne Supernova, and then during the bow. Playing it safe!

They came out holding hands. What more do we need. Mick & Keith don't do that and they're twins!!!

LOL we are counting how many times they touched??? I just saw a couple of clips Liam holding Noels arm in the air as they walked on stage ... who cares there back and they sound awesome! They put Jota's Jersey up on the screen while playing Live Forever beautiful touch!

Really impossible to argue with that setlist. Its as greatest hits victory lap set as you could ask from them. Most songs not played since 2001/2 and 2005 (they stopped touring in 09 so a lot had dropped from the set by then). Mostly the first two albums and The Masterplan collection of b sides.

I haven't seen a more perfect reunion setlist since KISS back in 1996.

1996 was that Kiss's 1st farewell tour?

Only three post-1995 songs, with only one being from the last four albums. Whilst I expected it to be very heavy on the 1994-‘95 material, I’d have imagined that we’d have perhaps gotten a Stop Crying Your Heart Out, or The Importance of Being Idle. Still, one cannot moan! It’s a top, top set-list: Hello was very unexpected, and Stand By Me, too. Until I checked, I thought the latter hadn’t been performed since the Be Here Now tour. Still, to watch any videos, but I’m excited to do so.

I saw them in Amsterdam in 2008 I think, paid 20 euro to get in (!) and they played extremely well,lovely songs, but there were no emotions at all on stage. That took away some part of the pleasure of seeing them.I could have listened to a live album as well. They had lousy merchandise to make it complete.

Really enjoying what I’ve watched on YouTube thus far. Terrific to hear Noel back on full lead-guitar duty!

Sounds like it went off well. Happy to hear it.

I wonder if there will be any changes for tonight's show? Oasis are not renowned for mixing-up their set-lists, historically.

Just came back from Cardiff today. Great opening night, I had the best spot in the house at the rail rite in front of RKid slightly a bit inside Noel and Bonehead's side. I got an e-mail from ticketmaster on wednesday stating I had a Premier Standing which included early entry which made me a very happy boy so everything was smooth (it wasn't at all clear when I bought the tickets).

Noel and Andy recognised me from stage which was nice after all these years and Liam's hilarious as usual. When I stood my ground holding the rail against the tsunami of folks behind me he knocked on his head and made a crazy face with the tongue out and pointed at the crowd behind me Bless.

Acquiesce, Some Might Say, Talk Tonight, D'You Know What I Mean and Cast No Shadow were the highlights IMHO. Somehow they managed to play Stand By Me EVEN slower than the recorded version which is some kind of feat. Mr Waronker did an alright job, I'd prefered Zak as I'm missing the more heavy beat of his.

They'll probably not mix up the setlist too much, if I should go after what Noel said back in 2006 regarding setlist changes.

The tour program is great too for a guitar manic like me as it describes all the equipment that is used. Fun Fun Fun!

Just a thought: isn’t our very own ‘MadMax’ attending, tonight? If so, it’s mid-afternoon, here in the U.K. and definitely maybe about time the beer was flowing! ><

Nice one Al! Myself, I didn't touch the stuff for the whole day, just ate some nice food and drank a lot of water but then I had to get on a bus back to London and then the airport straight after the gig as the hotel room prices were a wee bit high for an unemployed lad like me. Mind you, I managed to get a great room the night before the show in central Cardiff for 80 quid which was great!

That was the big KISS reunion with all 4 originals. Their first farewell was in the early 2000s! I saw the last farewell in 2019 and 2023 in Vancouver. Can't wait for the next reunion in 2026!

Nah, you made all the right decisions, MadMax. Glad you managed to get to the gig! 80 quid?? Blimey, lord knows what that’d get you in London!

Still waiting for some really good, audience-filmed footage. Although there’s mobile phones aplenty being waived, it seems like the crowd were too busy enjoying themselves! Are there no Matt Lee-like Oasis fans out there? We’ve been spoilt with so many great videos!

Great stuff ><

I was lucky enough to do both Cardiff nights and I can honestly say that those two gigs are up there with the bestI have ever seen. The crowd was truly immense. I have never seen a crowd so involved and of such different age(it was beautiful to see). More importantly the band were incredible. It was LOUD and Oasis sounded absolutely sublime.

This was my 16th and 17th time seeing Oasis and it blew all my expectations away. The whole show, band, visuals, sound, venue, crowd was on another level. I'm struggling to put it into words really.

If you have tickets for any of the shows I hope you enjoy the show as much as I did. This is what music is all about. Pure emotion and absolute joy.
