“I miss being at the end of the stage and turning up my amp as loud as possible”: Oasis have performed their first live shows in 16 years – and Noel Gallagher re-embracing guitar solos after all this time is set to be a highlight of the entire reunion

Noel Gallagher, singer and guitarist of British rock band Oasis performs on stage at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on July 4, 2025, during the opening concert of their highly anticipated reunion tour nearly 16 years after last performing together. Two consecutive nights of concerts at the Principality Stadium in the Welsh capital mark the start of a 41-date run of gigs spanning the world.

It was a historic weekend for music fans, not just because of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning farewell show – but because Britpop legends Oasis played their first shows together in 16 years.

Liam and Noel Gallagher’s hugely anticipated reunion was one of the biggest musical and cultural stories of 2024. The two brothers put aside their bitter rivalry, ended their decade-long feud and made every guitar fan's dream come true when they confirmed – after much speculation – they’d be reuniting for a staggering 41-date tour.
