Oasis kicked off their world tour tonight, July 4, in front of 74,500 fans at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
The opening night of the Manchester band's 41-date Live 25 world tour was the group's first gig since August 22, 2009 when they headlined the opening night of V Festival at Weston Park in Staffordshire. Six days later, ahead of a scheduled show at Rock en Seine festival in Paris, Liam and Noel Gallagher had a heated backstage argument, which led Noel Gallagher to quit the band that same night.
"It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight," the guitarist said at the time. "People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."
