After more than a decade of separation and speculation, Liam and Noel Gallagher took the stage together once again as Oasis officially kicked off their long-awaited Live ‘25 reunion tour. The opening night unfolded on Friday, July 4, at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, drawing thousands of fans to witness a band many thought would never reunite.
The performance marked the first time since 2009 that the Gallagher brothers shared a stage. They opened the night with “Hello,” a fitting choice as Liam, dressed in a hoodie, took his familiar stance, hands behind his back, while Noel, in a work shirt, locked in on guitar.
