Have to say that I think they've pretty much nailed the setlist for these gigs. Realistically their best work is all from the 90s and the majority of the people attending want to relive the two biggest albums that they loved. You could argue that The Importance of Being Idle could be included but it's probably not as good as the material they are playing, even if it was unexpectedly strong for that period of their career.

    I actually managed to finally get a ticket to this today, to the 28th September Wembley gig. Some newly released production tickets went on sale this morning and I got an email code amazingly. It's re

    Well that was an absolutely incredible night! Never thought I'd see Oasis together on stage again, it was surreal. And it was banger after banger! Absolutely epic

Peggy Gallagher says in a new interview that she was the "instigator" for Oasis' upcoming reunion.

"I was the instigator, yes. But sure, wasn't it always going to happen at some time or other?" she replied. "It was their choice, of course. Look you can't force them to do things they don't want to do."

She went on to say she is relieved to see her sons working together again after all this time. "It's great, because nobody wants their kids falling out, do they?" she said, although she admitted to being nervous about the shows. "I'll be glad when it's all just over because it makes me get too stressed."

Peggy then revealed that she is planning to attend Oasis' show in Dublin: "That's my plan anyway... it will be great."

I’ve seen a lot of clips on TikTok and it seems every concert has been 10/10 I got tickets to a Wembley one so I hope they keep it up

Saw then last night and they were ace. I wish the support acts were a bit better though rather than a nostaliga trip to the 90s. Feel like they could have got a big indie band like Fontaines or Blossoms to support.

Liam sounds as good as he has done for a while, not sure it came through in Cardiff, but his voice is definitely starting to really go. Didn't do any long notes at all. Thought the sound set up was really good at Heaton park, had heard terrible things but no issues where we were. Drinks prices were also reall reasonable.

Agree - it would have been a great chance to get a band like Fontaines DC... I mean, nobody needs to reminded of Cast

I fear Fontaines may get a mixed reception from the Oasis concertgoers.

The crowd were pretty mixed. Loads of young people there though. Just think it would have been a good opportunity for another band- although the whole vibe is nostalgia.

I’d love for Oasis to do an Ed Sheeran by releasing a tour album. Release it over 4 discs with discs 1 & 2 being original audio versions and discs 3 & 4 being live versions of the songs they performed on their tours

Last week, "Acquiesce" was Oasis's highest-charting song. This week, it is "Don't Look Back In Anger".

I hope they put Acquiesce at the end of the next Now album. It’s never appeared before and they’ve outsold songs on there in the past. Asides from Pink Pony Club and Party 4 U, both being from 2020 and both appeared on Now 120 and Now 121

I’m waiting to see if Blood Records do a drop for Morning Glory, they’ve done one for a lot of Oasis releases now so I’m assuming they will

Oasis at Wembley review: London finally sees Liam Gallagher at his best

Oasis played London for the first time in 16 years and gave the Wembley crowd a show worth waiting for

Review at a glance

London hasn't always brought out the best in Liam Gallagher. He sat it out at Royal Festival Hall as the band played on without him for their MTV Unplugged recording in 1996. At the old Wembley Stadium, months before it closed to be rebuilt, a drunken performance in the shadow of the ground’s Twin Towers resulted in Liam vowing not to take to the stage while under the influence again; Noel later described the show — recorded for posterity as a sub-standard live album — as the band's lowest point. And the last time the Gallaghers played live together in London, for 2009’s iTunes Festival at the Roundhouse, Liam rowed with the crowd in an unhappy showing; little more than a month later, the band were finished.

However, at the first night of their Wembley 2025 run on Friday, Liam was centre stage for all the right reasons. Whisper it quietly, but has the Oasis frontman, perhaps, learnt the error of his ways?

"Every time I open my mouth I seem to get myself in f***ing trouble. I'm just gonna do the singing, or the screaming and the shouting as they put it these days," he told the crowd. Naturally, he didn’t quite stick to that, but certainly it was the performance that did the real talking.

It seems like the Oasis fanbase may have also matured somewhat. After pint glasses had gone up in the air for the opening songs — notably the ferocious, opening bars of Morning Glory getting the fans on the pitch jumping — that seemed to be that. Not like the array of liquid being thrown for the duration of Oasis gigs back in the day. Then again, a pint costs an awful lot more now than it did then to be chucking it away.

Liam stepped out of the limelight for Noel to play his own mini-set, starting with Talk Tonight “for the ladies”. Another B-side favourite, Half The World Away, was dedicated to the TV show it soundtracked, The Royle Family. “Not that royal family, the real f***ing Royle Family,” said Noel. Shining mobile phone lights were waved aloft for this heartfelt love-in. That’s another thing that was different in the 90s, in the days of cigarette lighters.

From the crowd’s response, Little By Little was a well-judged delve later into the band’s back catalogue than anything else in the set — which remained consistent with the rest of the tour to date. With the London evening light starting to dim, Liam rejoined the band, announcing it was time things got “naughty” with a pair of Be Here Now hits, D’You Know What I Mean? and Stand By Me.

Oasis showed they can be naughty but nice, as an image of Ozzy Osbourne was projected towards the end of Live Forever, followed by Liam dedicating Rock ‘n’ Roll Star to the recently deceased Black Sabbath man.

Arsenal fans had earlier been ribbed by Liam as he got the crowd to bounce along in the Poznan style adopted by Manchester City fans, and now Noel invited boos by referring to Pep Guardiola as “the greatest manager of all time” when introducing encore opener The Masterplan. These references feel like a throwback to the days when (indie) music and football were much more intertwined. Seasoned Oasis fans will recall more football shirts in the crowd in the 90s. Today at Wembley, everyone appears to be wearing the same team kit: the Oasis-branded Adidas merchandise and bucket hats. A decent sideline on top of the

Noel paid tribute to his “favourite bar”, the Chiltern Firehouse, which burnt down earlier this year. A tragedy bigger than the Great Fire of London and the Blitz combined, he said as he dedicated Don’t Look Back In Anger to their staff.

Liam duly obliged in singing, in his words, “wretched song” Wonderwall, before the epic closer Champagne Supernova finished suitably with fireworks over the stadium. The Oasis frontman then essentially echoed the evening’s opener as he bid goodbye. “Nice one for making this happen. It’s good to be f***ing back.” On this form, few here at Wembley would disagree.
