The highly anticipated Oasis Live ’25 tour got underway in Cardiff on July 4.
The Gallagher brothers’ gig at Wembley on Saturday marked their fifth appearance at the stadium so far as part of the reunion tour.
After Sunday night’s performance, they will travel to Scotland, Ireland, Canada and the US before returning to Wembley for two more dates at the end of September.
The tour was announced on August 27, 2024, just ahead of the 30th anniversary of the band’s debut album Definitely Maybe.
Demand for tickets was unprecedented, with over 14 million fans reportedly scrambling for just 1.4million seats across 17 initially announced UK and Ireland dates.

The reunion tour marked the Gallagher brothers’ first time performing in 16 years
Tickets for the shows were released on August 31, 2024, and faced significant backlash due to long wait times, technical errors, and high resale prices.
Many fans reported being flagged as bots or encountering limited time windows to purchase.
Support acts for the tour include Cast, Richard Ashcroft, Cage the Elephant, and Ball Park Music.
